At Gu's private hospitals in China.

Yun Ning's fingertips were icy cold, and her knuckles, gripping the phone tightly, were white from the force.

The loud noise from Gu Sili's car accident still echoes in my ears.

My heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, and each contraction brought a suffocating pain.

Yun Ning could even clearly hear the sound of her blood cooling down.

"Lemon,"

Yunyi's voice rang out from the side, steady and strong, "Shen Xiuyun happens to be traveling abroad. I've already sent him to the hospital where Gu Sili is as quickly as possible. He'll let us know as soon as there's any news. Also, the antidote we found is on its way back to China. You're An'an's support, so we must keep things stable now."

"..."

Yun Ning suddenly closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling violently.

She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to suppress the panic and excruciating pain that was surging through her chest.

My brother is right.

She can't act rashly, absolutely not.

She also has An'an to take care of.

And there's Gu Sili, who's far away in a foreign land, waiting for you.

"Ah."

Yun Ning raised her hand and quickly wiped away the moisture seeping from the corner of her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, a fragile calmness had been forcibly gathered in her beautiful eyes.

She said, "I know, brother. I won't fall at a crucial moment like this."

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps echoed down the hospital corridor.

A figure staggered in.

He was one of Gu Sili's men.

He looked utterly disheveled at that moment.

His hair was disheveled by the wind, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were sunken and bloodshot.

It was clear that they had gone through a long journey and worked tirelessly without sleep.

"lady……"

His subordinate's voice was terribly hoarse. He quickly stepped forward, holding a silver metal sealed box with extremely solemn hands, and handed it to Yun Ning. "This is the antidote that President Gu urgently asked me to send back before he went into the operating room."

Yun Ning took the heavy box with both hands, feeling the cool touch of the metal casing, but a surge of warmth welled up in her heart: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Madam, you're too kind. Quickly, send the antidote over to the young master!"

The moment the box landed safely in Yun Ning's hands, the taut string on her shoulder seemed to snap with a "snap".

He seemed to have all his strength drained away; his steps faltered, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Yun Yi, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and helped him up.

"Ah."

Yun Ning didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately turned around.

The medical research team led by Professor Min had been waiting for a long time.

Under Yun Ning's supervision, they quickly opened the box and took out the antidote.

After conducting an initial check and confirming safety, preparations for the injection began.

A soft children's bed.

An'an was whimpering uncomfortably.

He already has some symptoms.

Her fair face was flushed with an unnatural redness, her forehead was burning hot, and her breathing was somewhat rapid.

Her once bright and sparkling eyes were now drooping and watery, looking listless.

The doctor carefully lifted An'an's sleeve and slowly pushed the blue medicine into the child's thin arm.

"..."

An'an frowned slightly because of the stinging pain.

But soon, he fell into a state of drowsiness and discomfort.

Time passed by, and the room was so quiet that only breathing could be heard.

In less than ten minutes, a miracle happened.

The heat on An'an's forehead began to subside, the flush gradually faded, and her skin became fair.

Her rapid breathing became steady and long.

He slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze regained its clarity.

Yun Ning and Yun Yi immediately surrounded her: "An'an, how are you feeling?"

The little one looked curiously at the adults gathered around the bed and softly called out, "Mommy, Uncle, I feel much better."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ning's tense nerves completely relaxed.

She suddenly hugged the recovered An'an tightly, tears streaming down her face, unable to hold back any longer: "It's good that you're alright, it's good that my An'an is alright."

Although An'an didn't understand why her mother was crying,

He reached out his chubby little hand and clumsily patted Yun Ning's back, comforting her in a childish voice, "Mommy, don't cry, An An, be good."

Yun Yi, watching from the side, also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what followed was a vague sense of unease.

He turned to look at Team Leader Min beside him, his tone tinged with doubt: "Team Leader Min, after An'an received this injection, will she require any further treatment or observation?"

Professor Min removed his mask and answered confidently, "No need. Mr. Yun, the antidote for Sleeping Beauty virus is a one-time use treatment. After the injection, the child will be completely fine."

"But why?"

Yun Yi's brows furrowed even more.

He looked at Yun Ning, who had calmed down a bit, and said in a serious tone, "Ning Ning, this isn't right. If the other party wanted to use the virus to control An An and thus restrain you and Gu Sili, why would they use a virus with a one-time antidote?"

"..."

Yun Ning's arms, which were holding the child, suddenly stiffened!

My brother is right.

This doesn't make sense.

unless……

The mastermind's goal was not An An at all.

Making An'an sick was just a diversionary tactic.

Their target was always Gu Sili, who was in a foreign land!

A chill ran up Yun Ning’s spine from the soles of her feet!

She gently put An'an down, and in the blink of an eye, her eyes became sharp as knives.

"elder brother,"

Yun Ning's voice was firm and resolute, leaving no room for doubt, "I have to go abroad right now! An'an is in your care!"

Yun Yi knew the situation was serious, and nodded without hesitation: "Go with peace of mind, leave the child to me, and be careful!"

"Ah."

Yun Ning forced back the tears that welled up again.

She bent down, cupped An'an's little face in her hands, and planted a quick, warm kiss on his smooth forehead. "Baby, Mommy has to go abroad to take care of Daddy and can't stay with you. Be good and obedient with your uncle, okay?"

An'an nodded with unusual understanding, wrapped her little arms around her neck, and said, imitating an adult, "An'an can be perfectly fine with Uncle! Mommy, go do what you want to do! You must bring Daddy back!"

"Ah."

Yun Ning sniffed, no longer hesitating.

She jumped up, grabbed her coat and handbag from the sofa next to her, and rushed out the door like a gust of wind without even taking off her shoes.

Just then, Gu Wei rushed over.

He saw Yun Ning and immediately shouted, "Sister-in-law, I just heard that my cousin was in a car accident abroad! What are we going to do? We..."

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me abroad. Bring plenty of people with you!"

Yun Ning grabbed Gu Wei and hurriedly walked out.

The sound of high heels clicking on the floor was rapid and firm, quickly fading away at the end of the corridor.
