Chapter 2095

Ye Hua shook his head, his voice filled with disappointment: “Mr. Xiaojiu is awake now, but his condition isn’t good.”

“Mr. Nangong said the medicine isn’t very effective, it can only neutralize the sedative and part of the poison.”

Seeing the change in their expressions, he added, “Mr. Nangong is still trying to find a solution, he asks us to wait.”

“How much longer do we have to wait?” Baili Xia asked.

She had studied medicine with Nangong Xu and knew a lot about detoxification.

If the poison was too complex, it couldn’t be neutralized quickly.

“I don’t know, he is currently performing acupuncture on Mr. Xiaojiu.”

Baili Xia said nothing more and walked over to the stone table, sitting down with a gloomy expression.

At times like this, all she could do was wait.

She trusted her master’s medical skills, he would surely find the best way to save Uncle.

Mu Xiaoyao sat down beside her and reached out to hold her hand in his palm.

This small gesture warmed Baili Xia’s heart.

With Brother’s support, these troubles would surely pass.

Time ticked by, minute by minute, over half an hour had passed, but the medical room door remained closed.

Baili Xia grew restless, if it was detoxification, there should have been some progress by now.

She walked over and knocked gently on the door.

After waiting for a while, there was no response from inside, so Baili Xia knocked again.

This time, after a moment, the door finally opened.

Nangong Xu appeared at the door, with a sheen of sweat on his forehead, bloodshot eyes, and a face full of exhaustion.

“Master, how is it?”

Seeing his state, Baili Xia felt even worse.

She had never seen an illness that could put her master under such pressure.

Nangong Xu glanced back into the medical room, his lips moved, but he said nothing.

Mu Xiaoyao and Ye Hua immediately approached, surrounding Nangong Xu.

At this moment, they were also eager to know how Mu Xiaojiu was doing.

Nangong Xu looked troubled, struggling to speak.

He wanted to tell them the truth, but Mr. Xiaojiu had instructed him not to reveal his actual condition to anyone.

He had tried many methods, but could not find a way to handle the remaining poison.

He truly feared that if they delayed any longer, Mr. Xiaojiu’s body wouldn’t hold up.

“How is he?” Mu Xiaoyao asked coldly, even he had lost his patience.

Nangong Xu met his gaze, composed himself, and replied, “Most of the poison has been removed, but the rest will take some time.”

He spoke lightly, but Baili Xia didn’t believe him at all.

If it were truly that simple, he wouldn’t be so troubled.

“I want to go in and see Uncle.”

Before Nangong Xu could respond, Baili Xia was already striding inside.

“No.” Nangong Xu’s heart tightened, he stepped quickly to block Baili Xia’s path.

“Mr. Xiaojiu instructed that you must not go in.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s intent was clear to him, Mr. Xiaojiu didn’t want to rely on this girl to save himself.

Although Nangong Xu thought the same, if all else failed, this would be the last resort.

Baili Xia smiled, but her smile was more one of helplessness.

“Just because I’m going to marry Brother, does that mean I don’t even have the right to see him?”

Her words left Nangong Xu speechless, not knowing how to respond.

This was a matter between the three of them, they had their reasons for their actions, outsiders had no say.

He knew that Mr. Xiaojiu’s reluctance to see Baili Xia wasn’t because of this, but he couldn’t reveal the real reason.

“Master, give me a few minutes, I just need a few minutes to see Uncle.”
