Chapter 668: The Antidote He Seized For Her

"Xiaoshi... don't blame me. Who told your parents to be blind and insist on blocking my path..."

Poison Snake lowered his eyes to look at Xiaoshi, whom he was holding hostage, and retreated toward the highway railing, only to find that the boy had no expression at all, as if he didn't care about this matter in the slightest.

Poison Snake felt a jolt in his heart, suddenly feeling as if something was wrong.

Li Xiao also couldn't help but take a few extra looks at Xiaoshi, his expression somewhat hesitant.

"I don't care whose son this child is; as long as you hand over the antidote for Tiantian, I will let you go immediately. You can pick any one of these cars to drive away."

Li Xiao stated his terms directly.

"You think I'll believe that?"

Poison Snake sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

As he spoke, he suddenly fished a small bottle out of his pocket.

"You want this, right? That little girl probably hasn't woken up yet, has she?"

Poison Snake said, deliberately shaking the bottle in his hand, his tone boastful: "This is the very last bit of the antidote... but..."

Poison Snake said, suddenly thrusting his hand out over the railing.

"I won't give it to you! That little girl can just wait to die!"

He said this, intending to throw the medicine in his hand directly into the sea below!

But unexpectedly—

Xiaoshi, who had been held in his arms the whole time, suddenly broke free with a violent movement and reached out to snatch the medicine bottle from his hand!

Then, with a backhand motion, he threw it in the direction of Li Xiao!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

By the time Poison Snake came to his senses, the medicine bottle was already rolling along the center of the road.

It was already impossible to get it back.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Poison Snake's eyes turned blood-red, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiaoshi by the throat!

"You little ingrate! Just as cheap as your parents! I'll send you to be buried with them right now!"

Poison Snake said, preparing to pull the trigger in his hand!

The next second—

"Bang! Bang!" Two shots rang out!

His heart and the arm holding the gun were pierced by bullets simultaneously.

Poison Snake widened his eyes in disbelief, staggered, and fell toward the railing, his whole body flipping backward uncontrollably.

Yet, at the very moment he fell, he grabbed onto Xiaoshi's arm!

"Grab him!!!"

Li Xiao felt a jolt in his heart and, in an instant, rushed over with everyone beside him!

But...

They were only in time to touch the corner of Xiaoshi's clothes, seeing his expression of slight shock and Poison Snake's ferocious grin.

"Splash!"

The sound of a heavy object falling into the sea rang out.

The calm sea surface rippled in circles, then quickly returned to stillness.

Li Xiao stood blankly by the railing, somewhat dazed.

He should have found a way to save that child just now...

Everyone stood by the railing, not speaking.

After a long while—

"Shura, here is the antidote."

Someone handed over the small porcelain bottle.

Li Xiao took it casually and took one more deep look in the direction of the sea surface.

Poison Snake had been hit by two bullets; he was undoubtedly dead.

But that child...

He hesitated for two seconds and said in a low voice: "Go look for him, see if you can fish that child up..."

The people around were stunned upon hearing this, their expressions somewhat unnatural, all thinking of the same thing.

Falling into the sea from such a height, the chances were slim.

If he couldn't swim, the chances of survival were even lower.

Moreover, Poison Snake had wounds on his body; as soon as the blood spread in the seawater, it would attract large fish.

No matter how one thought about it, that child was undoubtedly dead!

The group remained silent for a long while, but in the end, they said nothing, turned around, got into their cars, and headed toward the sea.

Li Xiao strode back to his car and sped back to the Hospital.

In the ward—

Jiang Baobao had been guarding Tiantian's bedside for two and a half days, looking haggard.

The little girl's complexion was far less healthy than it had been a few days ago, appearing somewhat pale.

Jiang Baobao held her little hand, kissing it from time to time.

She spoke gently to her about the things that had happened during this time.

"Baby, do you know? Your godmother has made many delicious things these past few days, all things you haven't eaten before. She said that when you come back, she will make them for you. Don't you love all kinds of delicious food the most? Then hurry up and wake up, okay? When you wake up, Mommy will make whatever you want to eat..."

As Jiang Baobao spoke, her tone couldn't help but choke up.

She did not want to cry, so she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe away her tears and forced a smile.

"Look, Mommy is so worried about you that she's about to cry. Aren't you most afraid of seeing Mommy cry? Then hurry up and wake up, okay..."

Jiang Baobao rambled on, as if doing so would really make her see Tiantian open her eyes.

"Baobao, Tiantian will definitely be fine..."

Li Beijue listened to Jiang Baobao's hoarse voice, his heart aching as if pricked by needles.

Cai Xiaotang had also long been unable to hold back her reddened eyes, silently wiping away tears for a long time.

Just then—

A burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the corridor!

Cai Xiaotang's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly looked toward the hospital room door.

Immediately after, she saw the door being pushed open!

"I got the antidote!!!"

Li Xiao strode in from outside the door, holding the small porcelain bottle he had just obtained in his hand.

"You got it?"

Jiang Baobao stood up abruptly and snatched the bottle from his hand!

"Are you sure this is it? There won't be any problems, right?"

She was both worried and pleasantly surprised, tears falling continuously from her eyes.

Li Xiao nodded: "This is definitely it. The poisonous snake didn't want to hand it over to me and almost threw it into the sea. Mu Liusu has already had his other subordinates captured and found someone to confirm that this is indeed the antidote."

"Then... then can we give it to Tiantian directly?"

Jiang Baobao poured out a few small pills from the bottle.

"Mm."

Li Xiao nodded, signaling for Li Beijue to help Tiantian sit up.

Jiang Baobao held the pills, sat on the edge of the bed cautiously, and tentatively made Tiantian open her mouth.

She looked at the medicine in her hand with some hesitation and asked uncertainly: "After taking this... Tiantian will really be able to wake up, right?"

After speaking, she suddenly gave a self-deprecating smile.

"It seems that besides this, we have nothing else to believe in... We can't really just wait for Tiantian to..."

Jiang Baobao did not finish her sentence; she directly placed the pills into Tiantian's mouth and fed her some water so she could swallow them.

After finishing all this, she laid the little girl back down and made her lie comfortably.

"How long until Tiantian wakes up?"

Cai Xiaotang asked impatiently.

"It's hard to say. We have to wait a while. Tiantian has been delayed for two days, so she might need some time to digest the medicine. In a while, we can have the Hospital perform a detailed physical examination on her again."

Li Xiao was a bit hesitant, but for now, they could only wait.

Another two hours passed, and Tiantian was still sleeping as deeply as before.

Jiang Baobao could not set her mind at ease and hurriedly had someone give her a full-body examination again.

Seeing the Doctor come out of the examination room, the group immediately surrounded him nervously.

Jiang Baobao was even more nervous, directly grabbing the Doctor's hand.

"Doctor, how is my daughter's condition?"
