Chapter 224: Behave Don't Move 37_1

“Uncle can make it, he will definitely pull through!”

Baili Xia’s nose tingled, she could no longer muster any strength within.

The moment when Uncle’s face had changed slightly, he already knew he was poisoned.

Why didn’t he rush back for treatment?

Instead, he stayed there, talking her ear off?

Just to reassure her?

But was it really worth it?

Uncle, why are you so kind to her…

“Uncle hasn’t woke up yet, it’s not suitable for you to see him now.”

Those foggy eyes, reluctant to shed tears, once again softened Mu Xiaoyao’s heart a bit.

“If you go now, it would only stir resentment and you won’t be able to help.”

“You should know well that they are suspecting you.

Even though you didn’t do it, Uncle was poisoned because of you.

Do you understand?”

He finally understood why Uncle, after being poisoned, insisted on calling him.

Only after personally entrusting Baili Xia’s affairs to him, was he willing to succumb.

Each force in this family had their own power.

How many days could a powerless little girl like Baili Xia survive without someone to protect her after such incident?

If Uncle did not wake up and completely vanished.

Those who were loyal to Uncle would certainly emerge, and tear her apart with their own hands.

If anything really happened to Uncle, Baili Xia would definitely not survive.

Uncle entrusted this important task to him, not only because Uncle trusted him, but also because Uncle truly cared about Baili Xia.

After all, she was just a little girl adopted by an old man, why did Uncle have such strong feelings for her?

Did he really just consider her as a younger generation to dote on?

Or was there another untold secret between the two?

“I understand, I…won’t bother them anymore.”

While Mu Xiaoyao was lost in thought, Baili Xia suddenly spoke softly.

“Brother, let’s go back to the main house.

Don’t tell anyone about this.”

It was indeed impulsive of her earlier to insist on seeing Uncle.

Uncle’s condition is so serious now, even if she saw him, she won’t be of any help.

Even though, she really wanted to see him.

Even a glance would do…

…

The old man isn’t home.

He left after Baili Xia and the others left in the morning.

He is said to be coming back tomorrow.

The old man still isn’t aware of Mu Xiaojiu’s situation.

At the main house, besides Baili Xia and Mu Xiaoyao who had returned to their rooms.

Only Mu Lingchuan, who had just received the news and rushed back, remained.

Technically, both Mu Lingchuan and Mu Xiaoyao were Mr.

Xiaojiu’s men.

Many a time, Ye Hua would not keep them in the dark about Mr.

Xiaojiu’s affairs.

Furthermore, with Mr.

Xiaojiu in this condition, they were needed to handle the affairs of the Mu family.

After Baili Xia returned to her room, she followed Mu Xiaoyao’s indication and went into the bathroom to clean herself.

While showering, she almost vomited several times due to the pain in her chest.

But thinking of Uncle, who was still fighting the poison, she immediately strengthened herself.

She must not be weak, she must not collapse.

She must be as strong as Uncle, she must stay well and wait for Uncle to wake up.

When evening came, Mu Xiaoyao had a servant bring dinner.

Baili Xia gave no resistance and started reading after her meal.

She appeared very normal as if nothing was amiss, and one couldn’t tell how heartbroken she was.

But, her eyes were slightly swollen, bloodshot throughout.

Mu Xiaoyao knew, the girl had been holding back her tears for a very long time.
