Chapter 296: Chapter 296: The Madam’s Poison is Cured

Nan Qingqing heard this and, in a place where no one was paying attention, a hint of a smile crossed the depths of her eyes.

She quickly caught up to Nan Bofu and slipped her arm into his.

"Dad, even if Doctor Li has cured the poison, we can’t let her off for the act of poisoning!"

When Nan Bofu heard Nan Qingqing’s words, focussed entirely on that Doctor Li and showing not the slightest concern for Duan Zhu.

He began to doubt what Duan Zhu had told him before, that Nan Qingqing was an extremely filial and caring good child.

Looking at her now, why did he feel as if she was all show and no substance?

But Zhu would never lie to him; maybe Qingqing cared too much about Zhu, so she wanted to ensure that no suspicious "culprit" was let off.

Nan Bofu silently withdrew his gaze, stood at the door, closed his eyes, and brought his hands together, wearing that string of prayer beads, praying to the heavens above.

Please, Heavenly Father, protect Zhu and keep her safe and sound!

Nan Zhuoyuan leaned against the wall, saw the firmly shut door, and also closed his eyes to pray.

"May Mom be safe and sound."

And may Xiao Yu have a smooth journey.

Nan Qingqing saw that they were all ignoring her, she rolled her eyes, and then mimicked the act of praying.

Her eyes tightly closed, she put on the guise of utmost devotion.

Yet inside her heart she darkly thought—

"Heavenly Father, please make sure Duan Zhu dies today!"

Time ticked by, each second feeling like an eternity.

Downstairs, Nan Zhou, who was keeping an eye on Gu Chuxin, paced back and forth, unable to hide his inner restlessness.

Sitting on the sofa, Gu Chuxin, reassured by Nan Qingqing’s promise that nothing would happen to her, was now calm, even at ease.

She took a sip of the tea in her hands, glanced at Nan Zhou, and couldn’t help but say, "Nan Zhou, since you’re so worried, why don’t we go upstairs and wait?"

Upon hearing these words, Nan Zhou suddenly stopped pacing, feeling somewhat puzzled by Gu Chuxin’s intentions.

He asked suspiciously, "Vice Chairman Gu, you’re not in a hurry to leave anymore?"

Gu Chuxin put down her teacup and said with a cold laugh, "I was in a hurry to leave before because the Nan Family was pushing me out, but now that Duan Zhu’s situation is so critical, who knows what that Doctor Li is doing in there?"

"Even if you were to send me away, I’d have to stay to ensure Duan Zhu’s safety, to forcibly save her life!"

Nan Zhou, seeing Gu Chuxin’s earnest words, had an intuition that told him she didn’t mean it at all.

His eyes narrowed sharply, "Vice Chairman Gu, if that’s the case, then please go up with me."

"Sure." Gu Chuxin stood up, striding past him with her head held high.

The two of them went up together.

As soon as they reached the top, they saw Nan Bofu and the other two praying fervently in the hallway.

Gu Chuxin’s eyes swiveled, and she adopted an angry stance, "Why are all of you out here? Didn’t anyone stay inside to keep watch?"

With her call, the remaining three simultaneously opened their eyes and turned to look at Gu Chuxin.

Nan Qingqing asked confusedly, "Vice Chairman Gu, Doctor Li said she left her uncle inside and told us to wait outside, not to disturb her while she’s saving my mother. Is it wrong for us to come out?"

Gu Chuxin sighed heavily and spoke in a tone filled with disappointment, "This place isn’t a hospital; there aren’t professional doctors inside to determine whether that Doctor Li is rescuing or harming someone."

"All of you have left, with only her uncle in there with her. Aren’t you afraid they’ll collude and stage a farce to destroy the evidence of the poisoning?"

Nan Bofu clenched his prayer beads, his eyes visibly swirling with panic.

Nan Zhuoyuan, on the other hand, looked at Gu Chuxin with a heavy expression, his gaze filled with loathing.

"Nonsense, Doctor Li would never do that!"

Nan Qingqing, however, showed a look of both fear and urgency, "Big brother, Vice Chairman Gu has been good friends with Mom for many years. Doctor Li has no personal connection to Mom, and besides, the poison was from Doctor Li. What Vice Chairman Gu says isn’t unreasonable!"

"Maybe by now Mom is already..."

The next second, the door to the room opened.

A servant ran out, overjoyed, saying, "Madam’s poison has been resolved, and the bleeding has stopped!"
