Xia Jingan could tell that Qiao Xi was indeed very weak, so he left with Ye Qingyuan.

At this moment, only Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng were left in the ward. The surroundings instantly fell silent.

Qiao Xi looked at the man in front of her. The two of them had experienced a near-death encounter together. When she saw him standing in front of her safe and sound, it was as if she had obtained the entire world.

Seeing that she was in a daze, Gu Zheng asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? I'll go look for the doctor…"

Qiao Xi grabbed his hand and let him move closer. She gently stroked his eyes. His deep and amorous eyes were so bright and lively that she could not see any problems with them. However, she knew that his vision had already begun to blur.

In order to save her, Gu Zheng used medicine to suppress the poison, but forcefully suppressing it would cause a backlash. The consequences would be very serious the next time the poison acted up.

Qiao Xi had the urge to cry. She could not describe her feelings. She had blamed Gu Zheng when she was in danger, but at this moment, her heart ached.

When he jumped into the sea to save her without hesitation, she no longer blamed Gu Zheng. Though he might face many difficulties, the only thing that would never change was his love for her.

"Did your poison spread?"

Gu Zheng's heart trembled as he pursed his lips tightly. His large palm stroked her smooth cheek as he muttered softly, "I'm fine. Don't worry."Qiao Xi bit her lip.

Gu Zheng pulled her into his arms and sighed. "Xi Xi, I have to save you and bring you home. I can't become blind. I've already recovered, so don't be sad."

Qiao Xi's tears welled up in her eyes as she said with a sobbing tone, "You went to the capital because the patriarch of the Brook family wanted to attack me. Because of you, they delayed their attack by a week. I just didn't expect He Wenxian to also send people to kill me."

Gu Zheng had already done a very good job and could not be blamed for not rushing back to Li City in time.

"Right, what do you plan to do with Ji Tian?" Qiao Xi suddenly asked sourly.

Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment before he laughed.

She pinched his ear and grunted angrily. "How dare you laugh at a time like this?!"

"Xi Xi, you're jealous. It looks like you've forgiven me."

Initially, Gu Zheng was worried that she would be angry and unwilling to forgive him. Now, it seemed that she was not angry. This surprised him.

She rolled her eyes. "You didn't do anything wrong. It's obvious that the woman was deliberately hyping things up. She even hung up on me. You can't let her off!"

She was not angry with Gu Zheng, but Ji Tian had made her so sad. She could not let this go.

Gu Zheng nodded, and a trace of coldness flashed past his eyes. Ji Tian had already paid the price for her actions.

Suddenly, the man's eyes changed as he said seriously, "Xi Xi, I actually had something more important to do in the capital. When I tell you about it, you have to be calm."action

Qiao Xi's heart trembled as she nodded.

"The divine physician is seriously injured and unconscious. He's in a private hospital in the capital now." As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, Qiao Xi's expression instantly changed.

"What? Grandpa is unconscious?" Qiao Xi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her entire body turned cold.

He was seriously injured and unconscious! What exactly had he encountered?

"I contacted Ji Tian because of the divine physician. She saved your grandfather and contacted Ye Qingyuan. However, I suspect that your grandfather's injury is related to her, so I haven't chased her away. I want to find out more." Gu Zheng stroked her head gently.

"Can he wake up?" Qiao Xi held his hand tightly, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Yes," Gu Zheng replied without hesitation. He could not bear to see her hurt, so he had to save the divine physician no matter what.

Hot tears trickled down her face and dripped onto Gu Zheng's palm, burning him until his entire body trembled. He pulled Qiao Xi into his arms and gently patted her back. "He'll definitely wake up. He still has to attend our wedding!"

At nine in the evening.

Qiao Xi leaned against the bed and looked at the photos sent from the capital. Qin An pushed the door open and entered. "Xi Xi, are you feeling better? I want to tell you something."

"What's wrong?" Qiao Xi put down her phone.

Qin An sat by her bed and said with a serious expression, "I checked Grandpa's notes and realized that the spread of the poison is difficult to suppress. Even if Grandpa wakes up, he might not be able to save Gu Zheng. Back then, Miss Lu Qingyun died at the age of 37. If Gu Zheng still doesn't have a way to detoxify the poison by the time he's 37, it's useless even if a god appears.

"During the spread of the poison, the patient will be in a lot of pain. They'll lose their eyesight bit by bit over time and lose all mobility. Gu Zheng's poison isn't that serious, but if the poison is allowed to spread, he'll become a cripple sooner or later. He won't be able to see anything and can only sit in a wheelchair. He won't even be able to protect himself, much less you."
