Chapter 31 Xiao Taozhi's identity is exposed
pain……
It felt like there were millions of ants gnawing at my brain, and it hurt so much that it almost exploded!
The blood in his body was unusually hot, surging and rolling in his veins like magma, as if it was going to burn away all the water in his body.
It’s so hot…
Good job...
There was also a bloodthirsty urge that was gradually eroding his sanity...
"Daddy, wuwu...Daddy..."
In a trance, he heard a child crying in his ear. The childish voice was so vague that he couldn't hear it clearly, but he felt inexplicably distressed.
Sudden.
“Pah…”
A few drops of clear liquid slowly flowed down his throat, like a gentle downpour after rain, extinguishing the burning fire within him...
…
Federal First Hospital.
Lu Ting slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was the cold white walls of the hospital.
The strong smell of disinfectant filled his nostrils, stimulating his olfactory nerves.
Didn’t he commit suicide after being infected with the virus?
How come... in the hospital?
Lu Ting frowned subconsciously, too many questions lingering in his mind, but the memories after that seemed to be pulled away, and he couldn't remember them at all.
He looked around. In the huge hospital ward, there was no one else except him.
suddenly.
There was a rustling sound coming from the sofa next to him.
Lu Ting tilted his head warily.
There was a small, round child lying on the large plush sofa. Its small body was wrapped in a small quilt, with only its furry head exposed.
Maybe because he was exhausted, the little guy was sleeping so soundly that he didn't even notice that his tender white feet were exposed.
This little fool...
Lu Ting couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, but accidentally pulled the wound, and he started coughing violently.
Although Lu Ting tried hard to suppress his cough, he still woke up the little guy who was sleeping soundly on the sofa.
Little Taozhi was half asleep. She rubbed her sleepy eyes in a daze and muttered in a grandma's voice: "Um, Dad..."
"What's wrong?" Lu Ting's throat was dry and his voice was a little hoarse.
Little Taozhi paused rubbing her eyes, staring blankly at the man on the hospital bed. Then she jumped out of bed with a start, ran to Lu Ting's bedside, and said in surprise: "Dad, you're finally awake! Do you know that you've been sleeping for so long? You scared me to death..."
As he was talking, the little guy's mouth pouted, his eyes became misty, and he was about to start crying in the next second.
Maybe because she cried too much, Taozhi's eyes were swollen like little walnuts and were red.
Lu Ting felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
He coaxed softly: "I'm fine, stop crying."
Straight men are straight men. Chief Judge Lu, who had been through the gates of hell, was as monotonous and inadequate as ever when it came to coaxing children.
It would have been fine if he hadn't coaxed him, but after he did, the little guy started crying even more aggrievedly.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing crying sounds in the ward, Nangong Yao hurried in, but was caught off guard and bumped into Lu Ting's deep and dark eyes.
Nangong Yao was slightly stunned, then hurriedly turned away, covering her lips with her hands and coughing lightly, a little embarrassed, "You...you woke up?"
"Yeah." Lu Ting responded indifferently, and a rare look of embarrassment appeared on his cold face.
He glanced at Xiao Taozhi sideways, and his cold tone was mixed with a hint of request: "Can you help me coax her?"
Nangong Yao put the plastic bag on the table, took out a napkin and wiped the tears from Xiao Taozhi's face, and patiently reasoned with her: "Xiao Taozhi, the doctor just told me that your father is fine, but you can't listen to loud noises, it's not good for his recovery."
Xiao Taozhi fell silent upon hearing this. She held back her tears and asked through sobs, "Really...really?"
Nangong Yao nodded seriously.
"Okay..." Tao Zhi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her little hands, and gently patted her head to comfort herself: "Zhizhi... Zhizhi is a good baby... You can't cry and bother Daddy..."
Lu Ting turned his eyes slightly, and found that the little guy's feet were bare on the floor tiles.
Although it is summer now, the air conditioning in the hospital is very strong. Even the temperature-controlled floor tiles are still a bit cold when you walk on them barefoot.
Doesn't this little fool have any feelings?
Lu Ting frowned, "Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
"I was so worried about daddy just now...I forgot..." Little Taozhi stuck out her tongue playfully, ran back to the sofa and put on her shoes obediently.
Lu Ting asked directly: "How long have I been lying there?"
"One day and one night." Nangong Yao was furious at the thought. She said angrily, "You know to care about Xiao Taozhi's health, but why don't you care about your own body? Do you think you are an iron man? You are obviously seriously injured, but you still want to be a hero and kill the monster! Don't you want to live?"
This was the first time in his life that he had been harshly lectured. A flicker of surprise crossed Judge Lu's cold and handsome face. He was silent for a moment before asking, "You... all know?"
Being stared at by Lu Ting, Nangong Yao's arrogance immediately diminished. "I know everything. The doctor said that you were seriously injured the night before, and the toxins in your body weren't completely cleared. The strenuous activity the next day caused the wound to rupture and become infected."
"Nangong Jue's reaction was pretty quick. When he saw you pointing the gun at him, he immediately snatched your gun away, and then you passed out."
"But the strange thing is, the toxins in your body disappeared before we even got to the hospital..." Nangong Yao joked, "I guess you're lucky, or is it that the King of Hell doesn't want to take you away?"
Lu Ting looked serious.
It couldn't possibly be the reasons Nangong Yao mentioned as a joke.
He clearly remembered that some liquid seemed to have entered his body...
What exactly is it?
Lu Ting's deep gaze slowly fell on the small figure beside the sofa.
When he fainted, he seemed to hear the little guy's voice.
Could this matter have something to do with her?
Lu Ting's brows darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "How many people know that I'm infected with the toxin?"
"Besides me, there is also the attending physician. Don't worry, I paid the doctor hush money, so the news won't leak out." Nangong Yao followed Lu Ting's gaze and her eyes also fell on Xiao Taozhi.
Nangong Yao asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Lu Ting retracted his gaze indifferently.
If this incident is really related to the little guy, then her true identity...
An uneasy thought was brewing in Lu Ting's heart.
Suddenly receiving a text message, Nangong Yao hurriedly said goodbye: "The porridge is placed next to your bed, remember to eat it. I have something to do and I'll leave first."
"Yeah." Lu Ting nodded.
Little Taozhi staggered to the bedside, tugging at the handle beside the bed with her little hands, and pouted pitifully: "Daddy, Zhizhi is hungry..."
Why does this little guy seem to be hungry all day long?
"There's porridge over there."
Lu Ting struggled to stand up and handed the porridge that Nangong Yao brought to Xiao Taozhi, "Eat it."
"Thank you, Dad~"
Xiao Taozhi picked up the food box happily and drank nearly one-third of it in a few gulps.
Licking the corner of her mouth, little Taozhi poked her head out of the food box, which was bigger than her face, and asked in a baby voice, "Daddy, are you hungry?"
I'm late~~
