Chapter 1854: He really is a coward

Xie Wanyi's words dealt quite a shock to Jiang Motian, and her eyes widened in surprise.

Amidst her shock, Xie Wanyi continued, "In his heart, Li Shu has already confirmed that his son is still alive, but he cannot face the truth, so he chose to accept death."

"Then... he really is a coward, not even having the courage to apologize."

"Yes, he is indeed cowardly. But some things cannot be resolved simply by apologizing."

Xie Wanyi could understand Li Shu.

Li Shu had ruined his own love, caused the death of an innocent child, and in the end, discovered that he had been wrong from the very beginning...

Proud as Li Shu was, he could not endure the collapse of his convictions.

Sighing softly, Xie Wanyi patted Jiang Motian on the head and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore."

"Indeed, we shouldn't talk about it anymore; it's quite oppressive. Besides, whether right or wrong, everything is already over. Next..."

Jiang Motian looked at Xie Wanyi: "We need to focus our energy on solving your headache problem! Xie Wanyi, do you have the confidence to overcome this difficulty!"

When Jiang Motian said this, she was full of confidence.

The look she gave Xie Wanyi was also filled with determination.

Xie Wanyi, however, did not quite understand this gesture from Jiang Motian.

But after thinking about it...

He first sighed helplessly, then sat up straight, and like a soldier, shouted: "I guarantee to overcome all difficulties!"

Jiang Motian was very satisfied with this guarantee.

Nodding lightly, she patted Xie Wanyi on the shoulder and said, "The pep talk is over, now we can eat something delicious!"

Something delicious?

Xie Wanyi was just about to look for it.

He saw Jiang Motian take a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts out of a bag.

These chestnuts were still hot, and as soon as the bag was opened, the aroma wafted out.

Xie Wanyi didn't really like eating these things.

But when Jiang Motian excitedly handed him one, he still took it.

"The stall owner said their chestnuts are especially easy to peel; you just make a light cut right here... hey, why did it break into two halves?"

Jiang Motian, whose demonstration failed, was a bit dumbfounded.

However, she didn't get discouraged and tried another one.

The result was another failure.

After failing several times in a row, Jiang Motian wasn't happy anymore.

She muttered discontentedly: "How can the boss lie? These chestnuts aren't easy to peel at all!"

Xie Wanyi had been watching from the side for a long time, and then, he was eager to try: "Let me try."

"Then be careful, just at the middle position, one cut and it splits into two halves..."

Jiang Motian was still explaining her experience.

As a result, Xie Wanyi peeled it lightly, and the light brown chestnut kernel popped perfectly into his palm!

"This isn't hard at all."

As Xie Wanyi said this, he stuffed the chestnut kernel into Jiang Motian's mouth.

This chestnut kernel was quite large, and Jiang Motian mumbled: "Y-you might just be lucky, peel another one!"

Xie Wanyi obediently continued to peel.

And he succeeded every single time.

It made Jiang Motian start to doubt reality!

And this extremely high success rate made Jiang Motian want to try again.

But Xie Wanyi stopped her.

He said as a matter of course: "I'll peel them for you, you just eat with peace of mind."

"But you're the patient, and these were bought for you to eat!"

"The patient wants to share them with his girlfriend."

Thinking of something, Xie Wanyi added: "Besides, the patient won't waste the chestnuts."

Speaking of wasting...

Jiang Motian went silent.

Just a moment ago, when she was trying to peel the chestnuts, she was very impatient, and the ones she couldn't peel, she threw directly into the trash can.

If it weren't for Xie Wanyi saying he would try, I'm afraid these chestnuts would have been completely wiped out before even reaching their mouths.

So, Jiang Motian was indeed very wasteful.

Because she felt guilty, Jiang Motian didn't argue with Xie Wanyi anymore.

She silently ate one herself, then stuffed one into Xie Wanyi's mouth.

Now, both of their mouths were bulging, looking like two happy little squirrels.

By comparison, Liu Xin'ai was not that happy.

After obtaining the key data, Liu Xin'ai, along with other experts, proceeded to deduce, test, and simulate the subsequent treatment methods.

This work was complex and required patience, wearing Liu Xin'ai out until her hair had turned quite gray.

Seeing her like this, Liu Xin'ai's husband, Qin Yiyan, felt very pained for her.

But at the same time, he was somewhat puzzled, and said: "In the past, I really never saw you work this hard for any patient."

"Who says? Being called in for surgery in the middle of the night, suddenly connecting while on vacation to perform case diagnoses, and I even hiked into a disaster area to save a little girl... don't these count as working hard?"

"They do, but you haven't worked this hard for this long before; you've been doing this phase after phase, almost all by yourself."

Hmm...

What Qin Yiyan said was a fact.

But Xie Wanyi's situation was different from all the previous ones.

Liu Xin'ai explained, "Wanyi's situation is too special; his treatment process has great research value."

"Is it only because he has research value? It feels like your emotions have been stirred."

Liu Xin'ai thought for a moment, did not deny it, and instead sighed, "It's hard not to be stirred; that child is too pitiful."

Hearing his wife sigh, Qin Yiyan kissed her forehead.

Then he comforted her, "But now, isn't he slowly getting better?"

"Yes, and that is all thanks to my previous efforts, so tell me, aren't my efforts very meaningful?"

Liu Xin'ai's rhetorical question made Qin Yiyan pause for a moment.

Only then did he realize that his wife had gone in a circle just to justify herself.

This made Qin Yiyan feel slightly helpless.

Sighing softly, Qin Yiyan said, "Even so, you must act according to your ability; you are getting older, you can't push yourself so hard."

These words were correct.

Liu Xin'ai clearly felt that her energy had not been enough lately, and she was easily fatigued.

But she did not want to say it out loud and make her husband worry, so she just said, "Fortunately, everything is almost over."

Liu Xin'ai said this to keep her husband from worrying.

But Qin Yiyan sensed something was wrong.

Almost over... doesn't this mean that Liu Xin'ai has to maintain her current state until the treatment ends?

Qin Yiyan was not satisfied with this result, and he voiced his own thoughts: "You need to control your working hours."

"Okay."

"I will keep an eye on you."

Qin Yiyan's decision made Liu Xin'ai raise her eyebrows slightly, and she asked, "Are you very free lately?"

"Not free, but who told my wife not to put my mind at ease."

As he spoke, Qin Yiyan sighed, as if Liu Xin'ai were a wife who caused a lot of worry.

This made Liu Xin'ai unconvinced, and she immediately countered, "It is clearly you who doesn't trust me, why are you the one sighing?"

Liu Xin'ai prepared herself to argue with her husband.

She was also waiting for Qin Yiyan's forceful rebuttal.

As it turned out...

Qin Yiyan hugged Liu Xin'ai, lowered his voice, and said, "You are my wife, the person I cherish most; I don't want anything to happen to you."

Qin Yiyan's embrace was truly more effective than any rebuttal, because Liu Xin'ai would surrender.

Furthermore, Liu Xin'ai felt that the reason Qin Yiyan was so cautious was because they only had each other.

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stood up abruptly and strode out.
