Chapter 1503 Thanks
When Nie Yao woke up, she found herself lying on a hospital bed, surrounded by white snow, and her father was sitting beside the bed, helping her peel an apple.
Seeing Nie Yao rubbing her forehead and sitting up, Father Nie quickly put down the apple in his hand, stepped forward to support her, and asked with concern: "Yaoyao, you're awake..."
"What's going on with me..." Nie Yao was still confused about the situation. With the help of her father, she leaned against the head of the bed and asked hesitantly.
Father Nie handed her a glass of warm water and explained with a faint smile, "This is the hospital. You were sent here because you suddenly fainted due to overwork, lack of rest, and mental stress..."
He sighed as he said this: "Silly child, I know you care about your archaeological career, but you also promised Dad before that you would take good care of yourself!"
"Dad, I'm sorry..." Nie Yao met his concerned gaze and could only apologize softly.
"You don't have to apologize to me. Ultimately, it's me who's wronged you. It was because I didn't take good care of you back then that your uncle got away with it..."
Father Nie stopped talking here, not wanting to talk about what happened in the past.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You just woke up. Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to bring you some soup..." Father Nie stood up and was about to make a phone call, but was stopped by Nie Yao.
"Dad, this is... still Egypt, right? When did you get here?" Nie Yao asked hesitantly.
"If I hadn't been concerned about your grandfather's health when you were kidnapped before, I would have rushed over long ago!" Father Nie ruffled Nie Yao's hair and said with a wry smile, "Luckily, I arrived in time. I heard that you guys faced that criminal again this time!"
"Yeah, he escaped last time. Who would have thought that he would sneak into the underground palace this time and even hold Li Jinxing hostage..."
When Nie Yao said this, she remembered Li Jinxing's excessive blood loss and immediately wanted to throw off the quilt and get out of bed: "Where's Li Jinxing? Is he okay? I want to go see him!"
Father Nie quickly stopped her, saying with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Don't worry, his wounds have been sutured and he's received a blood transfusion. You just woke up, so why rush to find him?"
"I will only feel at ease when I see him!" Nie Yao insisted on going to see Li Jinxing. Father Nie had no choice but to help her put on her coat and leave with her.
Before they could leave the ward, the door was pushed open and a group of people rushed in.
"Senior sister, are you awake? How are you? Are you feeling unwell?" Steve was the first to rush in. As soon as he came in, he saw Nie Yao got up and woke up. He hurriedly walked up to her and asked with concern.
Next came her adoptive father on crutches, Director Tawfik, and even the head of the Supreme Antiquities Committee who came to visit her.
"Ivy, are you okay?" Professor Fred and Director Tawfik also spoke up, asking with concern.
"Why... are you all here?" Nie Yao stared blankly at the group of people, feeling a little confused for a moment.
"Hey, Senior, we've finished what we have on hand, so we came to visit you together!"
Steve pointed at the committee leader and smiled at Nie Yao, saying, "Everyone knows that you, Senior Sister, are the biggest contributor to the excavation and rescue of cultural relics this time, so of course we should come and thank you!"
The head of the Supreme Cultural Relics Committee also came to Nie Yao, shook her hand, and said righteously, "Miss Nie, I've heard everything. I'm truly grateful to you for your intelligence and courage. Not only did you use your wisdom to unearth so many cultural relics, but you also called on everyone to rescue them in time so they wouldn't be buried by the rising water in the underground palace!"
Seeing him thanking her so sincerely, Nie Yao couldn't help but smile modestly and said, "It's nothing. This is what I should do. We spent so much effort excavating the underground palace. We can't let the cultural relics inside be burned!"
When she said this, she thought of the harmful Osiris and sighed softly, "If that tomb robber hadn't triggered the mechanism, that situation wouldn't have happened..."
"That's right! That tomb robber is truly despicable. He even injured Professor Fred and stabbed Mr. Li!"
When Steve mentioned Osiris, he couldn't help but frown and scolded him.
"Steve, have you seen Li Jinxing?" Nie Yao couldn't help but feel worried when he heard him mention Li Jinxing.
"We've checked it, senior sister. Don't worry, we just came from his place!" Steve nodded happily and comforted her with a smile: "If Mr. Li hadn't been forced by the doctor to stay in bed and rest, he would have come here to accompany you a long time ago. Besides, his eldest brother is also in the ward with him and doesn't allow him to get up!"
"You mean, the eldest brother of the Li family has also come to Egypt?" Nie Yao asked in surprise.
"Yeah, he's here too!" Steve nodded and smiled.
While Nie Yao breathed a sigh of relief, she still couldn't help but worry. She wondered why the eldest brother of the Li family had to rush to Egypt even though he was in a wheelchair and it was so inconvenient. Was Li Jinxing really seriously injured?
"Ms. Nie, please rest well in the hospital. If you need anything, please let us know. Once you've rested and are discharged, we'll hold a press conference and present you and Mr. Li with medals of honor. We'll thank you both for your contributions to this major archaeological project!"
Moss, the head of the Cultural Relics Committee, spoke to Nie Yao in a sincere tone.
"There's no need for an award. I'm fine and can be discharged today. With so many cultural relics unearthed, I think we still need everyone's analysis..."
After Nie Yao finished speaking, Steve and Professor Fred said in unison: "You should take a good rest first. There's no need to rush about work!"
Father Nie, standing by, couldn't help but speak up and said, "Yeah, A'yao, you just woke up. You should get yourself together first!"
"Then I want to go see Li Jinxing first!" Nie Yao said in a low voice.
This time, Nie's father did not stop him, and Steve volunteered to accompany Nie Yao, while Professor Fred and Moss, the head of the Supreme Cultural Relics Committee, were also preparing to leave.
"By the way, I want to ask, has the body of the tomb robber been found?" Before leaving the ward, Nie Yao thought of Osiris who fell into the stream and asked in a low voice.
"Not yet, and we don't know where he was washed away, but we've sent people to look for him, and we're sure to find his body nearby!"
The person in charge, Moss, whispered, and Nie Yao nodded. This time was different from the situation in Sudan. She had witnessed Osiris die from a poisoned arrow...
After talking with Professor Fred and the person in charge, Moss, Nie Yao, accompanied by Nie's father and Steve, walked towards Li Jinxing's ward.
When Nie Yao arrived at Li Jinxing's intensive care unit, she heard a quarrel coming from inside the room. It seemed that the eldest brother of the Li family was arguing with Li Jinxing about something...
