Chapter 1795
"Hold on, I'll go get the medicine box." Ximen Wudi gently stroked Danielle Sharp's face, then turned and left.
He wanted to try every possible method to save Danielle Sharp, but… what on earth was the principle behind this allergic reaction?
In Hua. Xia, most patients' allergy symptoms actually wouldn't cause fatal harm—at worst, vomiting, nausea, weakness all over, some even unable to stand steady.
However, Ximen Wudi had never encountered a similar allergic reaction before!
Danielle Sharp was practically on the verge of shock!
This was absolutely not normal!
But, Danielle Sharp's status was incomparably noble; in this situation, even the most professional gynecologist in the U. S. couldn't diagnose the reason, and could only resort to the most rudimentary method—having her stomach pumped.
However, because the allergic reaction's duration was too short, even after the stomach pumping, the effect probably wouldn't be very obvious; Danielle Sharp would still need to take medicine to possibly suppress the allergic reaction.
Ximen Wudi didn't notice that, as Danielle Sharp watched his retreating back, complex and inexpressible emotions flowed through her beautiful eyes.
………
"Apollo, you shouldn't have come here to find me." Danielle Sharp said, her face pale and bloodless.
"No matter what, you're my friend; this time I definitely won't stand by and do nothing." A glint of resolute light flashed in Ximen Wudi's eyes as he said: "I know, you definitely don't want to see such an ending happen to the two of us."
Ximen Wudi rarely called Danielle Sharp "Little Wutong"; in his view, he owed her far too much in this life—besides giving himself to her, there was no way to repay her.
"Ximen Wudi, thank you." Danielle Sharp said, tears sliding down from her eye sockets.
"You're welcome; you're my woman, of course I have to keep you safe and sound." Ximen Wudi held her ice-cold wrist and said softly.
Danielle Sharp leaned against Ximen Wudi's shoulder and said: "Tell me, what's causing 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; moreover, pain of this degree had already exceeded what she could endure! This kind of pain was enough to destroy a person's mind and thoughts!
Ximen Wudi carefully analyzed it and said: "I think the amount you've been eating recently should have decreased a bit, but it shouldn't have become this serious—if it goes on like this, your mental state will collapse."
"Is that so? Has my mental state collapsed?" Danielle Sharp asked Ximen Wudi softly: "Then… what if… I die?".
1728 such a situation?
1728such a situation?
"Nonsense!" Ximen Wudi frowned fiercely: "I'm a person who doesn't believe in fate, and I don't believe anything will happen to you!"
"My heart is in such a mess." Danielle Sharp said: "Tell me, why is this happening?"
Actually, at this point, Danielle Sharp already had some guesses, she just still didn't quite dare to believe them.
"Perhaps I'll take you to see your father's room; maybe he knows what's going on." Ximen Wudi said.
This kind of allergic skin outbreak wasn't without warning; otherwise, Danielle Sharp would have had an outbreak a few years earlier, instead of dragging it on until now.
"That won't do." Danielle Sharp shook her head, a difficult resolve showing in her tone: "Ximen Wudi, my father is already asleep; if we wake him, he'll probably scold us again, and… I don't want him to know I'm sick."
A thick shade of worry swept through Ximen Wudi's eyes.
"Ximen Wudi, thank you." Danielle Sharp looked at Ximen Wudi: "Actually, I've been seeking a solution, but unfortunately, I hadn't had time to put it into practice before this matter erupted ahead of time."
Hearing this, Ximen Wudi's face showed shock: "What are you going to do? Who are you planning to deal with?"
In his view, given Danielle Sharp's family background and abilities, there simply couldn't be any enemies! Let alone ones who would try to harm her!
Danielle Sharp raised her head and looked into Ximen Wudi's eyes: "Do you think I need to do something?"
Ximen Wudi shook his head: "Of course not."
Danielle Sharp's lips trembled slightly: "Do you think I'm deceiving you?"
"Of course I wouldn't think you're deceiving me, but…" Ximen Wudi hesitated, then still said: "But I feel that there can't be such a coincidence in this world; so-called coincidences are all products of conspiracies."
"Conspiracy?" Danielle Sharp savored those words.
"Yes, Daniell, what exactly triggered your allergen?" Ximen Wudi asked again.
"Come with me." Danielle Sharp wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then stood up: "There's a secret room in my family's basement; on the wall of the secret room there's a screen, and you can see a small projector—we can go from there and see the whole process."
Ximen Wudi nodded: "Okay."
This sudden allergic skin symptom very likely involved some extreme forces; after all, this place was so far from the dark world, their tentacles couldn't reach over.
Moreover, since Danielle Sharp had chosen this moment to reveal her condition, perhaps she already had a countermeasure in mind!
"I don't know how dangerous this is for you, but…"
"But what?" Danielle Sharp smiled: "This is my own choice; I'm willing to walk on with you, even if I'm ground to dust."
At this moment, Ximen Wudi felt as if his chest was about to be filled!
He held Danielle Sharp tightly in his arms.
Although the two were still separated by clothing, the embrace at this moment already surpassed a thousand words.
………
"We're already sharing weal and woe now, right?" Danielle Sharp asked, her eye sockets reddened, tear tracks not yet fully faded.
"Yes, you're the Miss I cherish most." Ximen Wudi stroked her head: "We don't need to describe it with the word 'moving,' really.".
Hearing these words, a brilliant smile appeared on Danielle Sharp's pretty face.
She stood on tiptoe, wrapped both hands around Ximen Wudi's neck, and actively offered her red lips.
Mm, although both Ximen Wudi and Danielle Sharp were wearing protective suits, they had absolutely no Gu Ji between them, kissing passionately.
………
Ximen Wudi and Danielle Sharp stayed in the basement for about half an hour; then, Ximen Wudi's gaze gradually turned cold and stern: "I roughly figured out what the reason is."
"I want to hear you explain."
"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 fact—she thought so too—but this conclusion was still a bit too cruel; for a kind and gentle Miss like her, it was a bit hard to take.
"I'll call the military advisor first." Ximen Wudi glanced at his watch and said, "Tonight's matter is a bit tricky. I want to consult her."
"You can take me to Europe, and I'll help you." Danielle Xia Pu said.
"That won't be necessary. After all, I don't like letting outsiders get involved in the internal disputes of the Sun Temple." Ximen Wudi smiled, took Danielle's hand, and walked toward the stairway: "Come on, let's go back to the hotel to rest. See you tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Tomorrow I'll come find you for a meal, and bring Luna and her parents along." Danielle Xia Pu said.
"Luna's parents?" Ximen Wudi heard this, and a look of surprise immediately crossed his face.
"Yes, this time they're going to Washington with me too." A resolute glint flickered in Danielle Xia Pu's beautiful eyes, as if talking to herself, and as if asking Ximen Wudi: "I want to take this country under my wing."
Ximen Wudi nodded: "That's perfectly normal. You're an excellent leader. Whatever decision you make, I'll support it."
Danielle Xia Pu smiled and said: "Ximen Wudi, thank you for understanding me."
"That's not called understanding, that's called support." Ximen Wudi patted her on the back: "Take good care of yourself."
Afterward, Ximen Wudi turned around and left.
After leaving, he took out his phone and placed a video call to the military advisor.
"Military advisor, I just got a key lead from Lolita's side. She was assassinated twenty-four hours ago."
"What kind of assassination?" the military advisor immediately asked, clearly taking the matter very seriously as well.
"It was done by Viper's subordinates." Ximen Wudi narrowed his eyes: "Moreover, this batch of mercenaries is no pushover. I think this should also be some faction's probing move against the dark world."
"You've traced it that far? Then… how is Danielle Xia Pu now?" the military advisor said.
"Don't worry, the girl's fine, just took some minor injuries." Ximen Wudi said with a reassuring smile: "She says she has a way to treat her own condition now."
"Alright, I understand. You be careful too." the military advisor urged.
"I'll try my best." Ximen Wudi sighed: "Sigh, there's always someone trying to take down Atlantis."
After hanging up the call, Ximen Wudi looked at the gauze wrapped around his arm: "You say this was sent by Viper, but if it was him, why drag me into it?"
A few answers surfaced in Ximen Wudi's mind, but none of them really held up.
Regardless, Ximen Wudi had already been targeted now.
Moreover… Ximen Wudi vaguely felt that he himself seemed to be turning into a target soon.
That night, Ximen Wudi didn't sleep particularly soundly. He tossed and turned for a long time before finally drifting off in a daze, but he dreamed that he was drenched in blood, with Danielle Xia Pu collapsed at his feet, on the verge of death…
