Xiang Zhilan wanted to applaud his amazing observation skills. Just now, they went in, opened the door, saw that Ni Sitian and the others were asleep, and then closed the door. It was less than a second.
"Yes, Sitian wants Xu Tingchuan to focus on recovering first." Xiang Zhilan sighed softly. She used to envy them for being so carefree and happy, but she never expected their ordeal to be at such a time, and that it might even be a matter of life and death.
"I'm afraid there's no time left." Shen Muzhi wasn't sure if Ni Sitian would live to see that day.
Xiang Zhilan bit her lip, shook her head, and said, "No, Sitian will be alright. She's only twenty-two."
She absolutely could not accept this. Li Rui might not have had an antidote, but that didn't mean there wasn't someone in the world who could.
Now that cancer can be treated, they will surely find a way to help Ni Sitian.
"I'll go ask about the situation on the Yunnan-Myanmar border." Shen Muzhi had sent someone there more than ten years ago, but there had been no news from them. He took out his phone and walked towards the stairwell.
Xiang Zhilan looked through the glass in the door, where she could see the two of them embracing. She pursed her lips, her heart aching with sorrow. Si Tian had never been happy since childhood, and now, finally…
Just then, her phone rang. She saw it was Alex's number and immediately answered it with delight.
She had promised him he would come before August, but it's already August 8th and he still hasn't arrived. She couldn't reach him by phone, so she assumed he had broken his promise. She never expected him to call her now.
"Alex." Xiang Zhilan's voice was somewhat excited; he might be Ni Sitian's last hope.
"Lan, I've arrived at the airport. How do I get to your place?" Alex asked in broken Chinese.
"I'll come pick you up. Stay in the waiting room and don't move." Xiang Zhilan was afraid that he would get lost and cause more trouble, so she said repeatedly, "I'll be right there. Wait for me for an hour."
Xiang Zhilan hurriedly went to the hallway to find Shen Muzhi. Shen Muzhi had just hung up the phone and shook his head at her. Just as he was about to speak, Xiang Zhilan grabbed his hand and said, "Let's go to the airport, hurry up."
Before Shen Muzhi could ask, she hurriedly pulled him away.
"Slow down." She's pregnant, and he doesn't want to take any risks.
Xiang Zhilan was also mindful of her actions; no matter how urgent the situation, there was no point in running. She quickly got into her car at the parking lot outside the hospital.
Shen Muzhi finally had a chance to ask, "Are you in such a hurry to go to the airport to pick up your friend?"
"I suppose so." Xiang Zhilan told A Chao to drive faster, and then explained Alex's background to Shen Muzhi while driving.
Alex is now a well-known professor in the United States, working on the research and utilization of biotoxins. She and he met in Australia.
Upon hearing this, Shen Muzhi immediately pictured an American man in his forties or fifties, with a belly and wearing glasses.
But to everyone's surprise, the professor that Xiang Zhilan mentioned was actually quite young, around thirty years old, and a yellow-skinned person with black hair and black eyes!
Before he could even realize that this was Alex, the man had already hugged his wife and greeted her with a cheek kiss.
His face darkened instantly, and he pulled Xiang Zhilan back to his side.
“Alex, this is me…” Xiang Zhilan was not quite used to introducing Shen Muzhi’s identity to outsiders, so she paused for a moment, then forced herself to say, “He is my husband, Shen Muzhi.”
