Jiang Yuyan heard someone calling her; the voice was panicked and terrified.

"This is....."

"Wasn't I already dead? How can I still hear people calling my name?"

Just as I was thinking,

"Bu-oh~~"

"Giggle giggle—"

Jiang Yuyan lowered her eyes and met the chubby little boy's smiling eyes and his sweet, childlike voice.

"Oh my darling, are you calling me? What's wrong? Did you hear someone calling me too?"

Jiang Yuyan was just joking with him and didn't expect him to answer.

Unexpectedly—

"Bu-oh~"

He didn't stop talking; he even nodded, almost to the point of falling forward because he felt dizzy. Jiang Yuyan quickly caught him.

"What's wrong, baby? You said someone is calling me? If so, please nod gently?" she asked cautiously.

The chubby boy paused, as if pondering what a slight nod meant.

The next second—

The chubby boy nodded slightly.

He looked up immediately after ordering, his eyes sparkling as he stared at Jiang Yuyan, as if to say, "Did I do the right thing?"

Jiang Yuyan couldn't resist picking up the chubby baby and kissing him again and again.

Every time I kiss the little chubby baby, he giggles and laughs. His laughter is so sweet and adorable.

"Oh my baby, how can you be so smart? I wish my child were you, then I would have so much less to worry about. You seem like such a thoughtful baby."

After Jiang Yuyan finished speaking, she didn't notice the little chubby boy's eyes light up.

When she praised him, the chubby boy giggled; when she asked him to be her child, he excitedly jumped around, making little noises in her arms.

Jiang Yuyan didn't notice that her surroundings were disappearing.

When she came to her senses, she noticed that even the chubby baby in her hand was gradually disappearing. This sight terrified her so much that she wanted to reach out and grab the baby.

But the moment it was touched, everything shattered and disappeared.

Instead, beneath Jiang Yuyan's feet lay an endless abyss.

Before she could even react, she had already fallen into an endless abyss.

ahhh-

Jiang Yuyan was startled and suddenly opened her eyes, meeting several pairs of excited eyes, among which the one with the most severe dark circles was her master.

"I......"

"Oh my, you opened your eyes! You really opened your eyes! Old Qi, I didn't expect your method to actually work!"

"It's been almost half a month already, Comrade Yanzi. If you don't wake up soon, we're all going to be exhausted by your master."

"Oh, please stop talking. If you keep going, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this ward. Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave—"

The doctors and the hospital director chuckled awkwardly, greeted Old Qi, and then quickly slipped away.

Soon, only the master and apprentice remained in the ward.

Jiang Yuyan was very weak and powerless. She didn't even have the strength to sit up. She tried to speak, but her mouth opened and closed repeatedly without making a sound.

Old Qi moistened her lips with a cotton swab dipped in water.

"Do you remember what happened? Do you know how long you slept?"

She was so close, so very close, and she really wouldn't have come back, and both she and her unborn child would have died.

It was really just a little bit short.

Jiang Yuyan noticed that Master Qi's hand was trembling as he held the cotton swabs, so she gently shook her head and gave him a silent smile.

Tell him that she is fine now and that he doesn't need to worry.

Master Qi glared at her.

"You've been lying in bed for almost half a month. If you weren't pregnant, it might be a little easier."

"The key is that you are pregnant. You can't take any medication normally, otherwise it will be bad for your health and the baby, not to mention it will help you get some supplements."

Jiang Yuyan smiled, opened her mouth, and said silently,

"Master, thank you for your hard work. I believe you can save me."

Master Qi said irritably.

"If you really believe me, then hurry up and get some rest so that this old man who's about to die can get a good night's sleep."

"Hehehe—"

"By the way, the reason you were able to wake up so quickly this time is all thanks to Ling Wenchen, although I really don't want to tell you this."

Jiang Yuyan: "????"

"Ahem, I asked him to collect poisonous herbs, and I didn't expect him to actually find them. He even went to the Eastern Restricted Area to bring them back for you."

Although it almost cost him his life.

Three days later,

Jiang Yuyan was finally able to get out of bed and eat some liquid food, but she was still receiving intravenous fluids to maintain her nutrition.

She had eaten today, and after her master and doctor had taken turns examining her, she secretly slipped away to the next ward to visit someone.

He looked much more disheveled than the last time she saw Ling Wenchen.

His entire body was covered in tubes, and even his face was bandaged up, which shows how dangerous it must have been for him to crawl back from the restricted area with the poisonous herbs.

Really

I haven't heard of it.

Master Qi said that Ling Wenchen crawled back home and almost got shot by the guards at the gate, who mistook him for an unidentified person.

The East Base wanted to send the person to the hospital, but what happened?

He insisted that the doctor give him painkillers and then have his men drive him to the South District to deliver the medicine to her.

It was because he delivered the medicine in time that Old Qi was able to protect Jiang Yuyan's last breath and keep her alive while waiting for the other poisonous herbs to return.

The moment Ling Wenchen handed over the poisonous herbs, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Yuyan watched quietly for a while, still not understanding why Ling Wenchen would almost risk his life for her sake.

She never felt that just because the military assigned him a task, he should risk his life to complete it.

She doesn't believe that soldiers should risk their lives to protect someone, but rather that they should protect others while protecting themselves.

She didn't think she was charming enough to make Ling Wenchen fall for her, and she didn't want to be presumptuous.

Back in the ward,

Master Qi brought her food that she could eat. Basically, ever since she regained consciousness, Master Qi would come over to eat with her whenever he had free time, without missing a single meal.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Yuyan hesitated for a moment before finally asking,

"Master, shouldn't someone be taking care of Deputy Commander Ling? How is he doing?"

Master Qi snorted, calmly took a sip of hot tea, and then spoke.

"Don't worry, this is the clinic at the South Base. No matter who you are, they won't ignore him. For soldiers injured on missions, the base assigns dedicated personnel to take care of them."

Although border medical technology is inadequate, the people there are at least very resilient and physically stronger than those in other places.

Jiang Yuyan felt a little relieved.

"By the way, Master, before you and I got into trouble, I remember there was someone—"

Master Qi knew what she wanted to ask, and he didn't hide anything from her, carefully telling her what had happened during the time she was unconscious.

"...Besides the group of madmen pharmacists who were terrified of you, there was another person involved in your case, a female nurse you met before."

"If this nurse hadn't taken medication that caused problems with her brain nerves, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to catch them."

then,

The nurse named Xiaoxiao brought Jiang Yuyan out of the basket not because of orders from their organization, nor because she was a test subject for Zhou Wuzhong.

Instead, it was the absurd reason that she wanted to try it herself: to see if a human body, placed in a basket on her back, would be smashed to pieces when thrown off a cliff.

"Master, is that Nurse Xiaoxiao you mentioned the woman who suddenly came to Deputy Commander Ling's ward, saying she liked him and brought him food?"

Master Qi nodded.

Jiang Yuyan frowned.

"That's not right. I smelled nothing but disinfectant on her, and there was no other smell, not the putrid smell that Zhou Wuzhong had when I met him before."

"Therefore, that nurse couldn't possibly be someone from Zhou Wuzhong's lab."
