Chapter 1393

"Hold on, I'm going to get the medical kit." Ximen Wudi gently stroked Danielle Sharp's face, then turned and left.

He desperately wanted to use every possible method to save Danielle Sharp, but... what exactly was the mechanism behind her allergic reaction?

In Huaxia, many patients' allergic symptoms do not actually cause fatal harm; at most, they experience vomiting, nausea, general weakness, or in some cases, an inability to even stand steady.

However, Ximen Wudi had never encountered allergic symptoms like this before!

Danielle Sharp was practically on the verge of shock!

This was absolutely not normal!

Yet, precisely because Danielle Sharp's status was so incredibly noble, even the most professional gynecologists in the United States couldn't diagnose the cause in this situation, leaving them with no choice but to take the clumsiest approach: having her undergo a gastric lavage.

However, because the duration of the allergic reaction was too short, even after the gastric lavage, the effect was likely not very significant; Danielle Sharp still needed medication to have any chance of suppressing the allergic reaction.

Ximen Wudi did not notice that as Danielle Sharp watched his back, her beautiful eyes were filled with complex, indescribable emotions.

…………

"Apollo, you shouldn't have come here to find me," Danielle Sharp said, her face pale and bloodless.

"No matter what, you are my friend, and this time I will definitely not stand idly by." A look of determination flashed in Ximen Wudi's eyes as he said, "I know you certainly wouldn't want to see such an ending befall the two of us."

Ximen Wudi rarely called Danielle Sharp "Little Wutong." In his view, he owed Danielle Sharp far too much in this life; short of giving himself to her, there was simply no way to repay her.

"Ximen Wudi, thank you," Danielle Sharp said, tears sliding down from her eye sockets.

"You're welcome. You are my woman, so of course I must ensure you are safe and sound," Ximen Wudi said softly, holding her cold wrist.

Danielle Sharp leaned on Ximen Wudi's shoulder and said, "Tell me, what caused my allergic muscle soreness? Why have I never noticed this problem myself?"

In that instant, she suddenly felt a trace of panic.

Because such symptoms had never appeared in the depths of her past memories, and furthermore, this level of pain had exceeded the range she could bear! This kind of pain was enough to destroy a person's sanity and mind!

Ximen Wudi analyzed it carefully and said, "I think the amount of food you've been eating lately has decreased, but it shouldn't have turned into this situation. If this continues, your mental state will collapse."

"Is that so? Has my mental state collapsed?" Danielle Sharp asked Ximen Wudi softly. "Then... what if... I die?"

"Nonsense!" Ximen Wudi frowned fiercely. "I am a person who does not believe in fate, nor do I believe that anything will happen to you!"

"My heart is so chaotic," Danielle Sharp said. "Tell me, why would such a situation occur?"

In truth, by this time, Danielle Sharp already had some guesses, but she still didn't dare to believe them.

"Perhaps I should take you to see your father's room; maybe he knows what's going on," Ximen Wudi said.

This outbreak of allergic skin was not without warning; otherwise, Danielle Sharp would have had an episode years ago instead of dragging it out until now.

"That won't work." Danielle Sharp shook her head, her tone revealing a difficult determination. "Ximen Wudi, my father is already asleep. If I wake him, I might get scolded again, and... I don't want him to know that I'm sick."

A deep look of worry flashed across the bottom of Ximen Wudi's eyes.

"Ximen Wudi, thank you." Danielle Sharp looked at Ximen Wudi. "Actually, I have been seeking a solution, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to implement it before this matter erupted prematurely."

Upon hearing this, Ximen Wudi's face revealed a look of shock. "What are you going to do? Who are you preparing to deal with?"

In his view, with Danielle Sharp's family background and ability, it was impossible for her to have enemies! Let alone anyone who would strike at her!

Danielle Sharp looked up into Ximen Wudi's eyes. "Do you think I need to do anything?"

Ximen Wudi shook his head. "Of course not."

Danielle Sharp's lips trembled slightly. "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

"Of course I wouldn't think you're lying to me, but..." Ximen Wudi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I just feel that there can't be such a coincidence in this world. So-called coincidences are all products of conspiracies."

"Conspiracy?" Danielle Sharp chewed on this phrase.

"Yes, Danielle, what exactly triggered your allergen?" Ximen Wudi asked again.

"Come with me." Danielle Sharp wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and stood up. "There is a secret room in my family's basement. There is a screen on the wall of the secret room where you can see a small projector. We can go through there and see the whole process."

Ximen Wudi nodded. "Okay."

This sudden outbreak of allergic skin was highly likely to involve some extreme forces; after all, this place was so far from the Dark World that their reach shouldn't extend here.

And, since Danielle Sharp chose this moment to reveal her condition, perhaps she already had a countermeasure!

"I don't know how dangerous this is for you, but..."

"But what?" Danielle Sharp smiled. "This is my own choice. I am willing to walk with you, even if it means being smashed to pieces."

At this moment, Ximen Wudi felt as if his chest was about to be filled to the brim!

He hugged Danielle Sharp tightly.

Although the two were still separated by their clothing, this embrace was already worth more than a thousand words.

…………

"We are now considered to be sharing joys and sorrows, right?" Danielle Sharp asked, her eye sockets red, the tear tracks not yet fully dissipated.

"Yes, you are the girl I cherish most." Ximen Wudi stroked her head. "We don't need to use the word 'moved' to describe us, really."

Hearing this, a brilliant smile appeared on Danielle Sharp's pretty face.

She stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Ximen Wudi's neck, and took the initiative to offer her red lips.

Well, although Ximen Wudi and Danielle Sharp were both wearing protective suits, they had absolutely no reservations between them, kissing passionately.

…………

Ximen Wudi and Danielle Sharp stayed in the basement for about half an hour, after which Ximen Wudi's gaze gradually turned cold and stern: "I have roughly figured out the reason."

"I want to hear you tell me."

"I'm not sure, but... the frequency of your allergic skin outbreaks is very high. I even suspect this is a long-planned attack." Ximen Wudi narrowed his eyes. "Some people are targeting you."

Danielle Sharp fell silent.

What Ximen Wudi said was the truth, and she thought so too, but this conclusion was still a bit too cruel; for a kind and gentle girl like her, she wasn't quite used to it.

"Let me call the Strategist first." Ximen Wudi checked his watch and said, "Tonight's events are a bit tricky, and I want to consult her."

"You can take me to Europe, and I will help you," Danielle Sharp said.

"That won't be necessary. After all, I don't like letting outsiders intervene in the internal disputes of the Temple of the Sun God." Ximen Wudi smiled, took Danielle's hand, and walked toward the stairs. "Let's go, let's go back to the hotel to rest and see each other tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Tomorrow I'll come find you for a meal, and I'll bring Luna and her parents," Danielle Sharp said.

"Luna's parents?" Upon hearing this, Ximen Wudi immediately revealed a look of surprise.

"Yes, this time, they are also going to follow me to Washington." Danielle Sharp's beautiful eyes revealed a look of determination, as if she were talking to herself, and also as if she were asking Ximen Wudi: "I want to bring this country under my wing."

Ximen Wudi nodded. "This is very normal. You are a very excellent leader; no matter what choice you make, I support you."

Danielle Sharp smiled and said, "Ximen Wudi, thank you for understanding me."

"This isn't called understanding; this is called support." Ximen Wudi patted her back. "Take good care of yourself."

Afterward, Ximen Wudi turned around and left.

After leaving, he took out his phone and dialed a video call to the Strategist.

"Strategist, I just obtained a key clue from Lolita's side; she was assassinated twenty-four hours ago."

"What kind of assassination?" the Strategist asked immediately, clearly she also attached great importance to this matter.

"It was done by Poison Snake's subordinates." Ximen Wudi narrowed his eyes. "And the combat power of this batch of mercenaries is not weak. I think this should also be a move by certain forces to test the Dark World."

"You've investigated to this point? Then... how is Danielle Sharp now?" the Strategist said.

"Rest assured, this girl is fine, just suffered some minor injuries." Ximen Wudi smiled and comforted her. "She said she has a way to treat her own condition now."

"Good, I know. You also need to pay attention to your safety," the Strategist urged.

"I'll try." Ximen Wudi sighed. "Sigh, there are always people who want to bring down Atlantis."

Hanging up the phone, Ximen Wudi looked at the gauze wrapped around his arm. "You said this was sent by Poison Snake, but if he did it, why would he involve me?"

Several answers popped up in Ximen Wudi's mind, but none of them really held up.

Regardless, Ximen Wudi had now been targeted.

And... Ximen Wudi vaguely felt that he himself was also about to become a target.

That night, Ximen Wudi did not sleep particularly soundly; he tossed and turned for a long time before falling into a dazed sleep, but he dreamed that he was covered in blood, and Danielle Sharp was lying at his feet, dying...
