Chapter 242: I Need Your Blood3_1

If Nangong Xu were to say that Baili Xia was lucky to have not touched the poisoned areas with her finger, he certainly wouldn’t believe it.

There are no such coincidences in the world.

The only possibility was that her blood might be different from others’.

Perhaps, she had a natural antibody to that particular poison.

Soon, the results of the blood test appeared on the screen.

Even if Baili Xia could look at the screen, she couldn’t understand what it meant.

All she knew was that Nangong Xu’s medical skills were indeed impressive.

He was a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, yet, he was clearly adept at handling advanced medical equipment without missing a beat.

Seeing the excitement suddenly lighting up his face, Baili Xia couldn’t help but slightly furrow her brow.

“Mr.

Nangong, can my blood be used?”

“It definitely can be used!”

Nangong Xu turned to her, his eyes gleaming with joy.

For all the time Baili Xia had known him, she had never seen such excitement on his icy face.

However, Nangong Xu quickly composed himself.

He returned to her side, his expression becoming serious.

“Miss Xiaxia, I have to ask a favor of you.

This will be an agreement between you and me.

Only if you agree will I reveal it.”

“So, you don’t want to tell a third person?”

Baili Xia looked up at him, his serious expression making her inexplicably nervous.

“Correct,” Nangong Xu nodded, still gazing at her intently.

“I need your blood, your blood can certainly help Mr.

Xiaojiu rid the residual poison in his body, however, this mustn’t be revealed to Mr.

Xiaojiu.”

“Because, it would require a large amount of your blood, which would cause severe harm to your body.”

Baili Xia blinked, neither agreeing nor refusing.

But she seriously asked him, “Are you saying… my blood really can cure Uncle?

You’re not lying to me, are you?”

“You’re unwilling?” Nangong Xu raised an eyebrow, his face darkening.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu was poisoned for your sake, he is severely injured now, all thanks to you.

Now you’re asked to save him, and you’re unwilling?”

“I am willing, more than willing.

As long as I can help Uncle, I would do anything!”

Baili Xia stood up, anxiously wanting to grab his sleeve, but was frightened by the cold aura emanating from him.

She pulled her hand back.

Her voice was soft, yet extremely resolute.

“I’m willing, I also trust you.

Even if you take a lot of blood, you will keep me alive, right?”

“Are you afraid of death?”

“I’m afraid that if I die, you won’t be able to explain to Uncle.”

She smiled faintly.

At least it was sincere.

“Furthermore, Uncle got so severely injured saving me, if I die, everything he did would be meaningless.”

Nangong Xu didn’t reply, just staring intently at her face.

A simple eighteen-year-old girl.

It was hard for him to comprehend how she could speak such words.

The girl standing in front of him still looked so immature, so unworldly.

And yet, her expression was far more mature than that of girls her age.

Sensible, well-behaved, kindhearted…

perhaps, these were the reasons why Mr.

Xiaojiu liked her.

Although, a lot of people considered her fragile due to her petite frame.

But her eyes, the tenacity and luster within them, were exceptional.

Some girls who had endured so much, might have already given up on life.

Yet, she was still very much alive right now, wasn’t she?
