Xia Yingluo also saw the news.

Seeing her good friend slandered for no good reason, she was sympathetic and infuriated. She went to the hospital to visit her again.

Jin Ling’er did not expect her to come and she was currently sitting in a daze on her hospital bed. Lightly faintly shone through the windows and highlighted her weak figure. Her legs were curled on the bed and she buried her face in her knees without moving.

Xia Yingluo walked towards her bed and sat down. She softly called. “Ling’er.”

Only then did Jin Ling’er realize that she was there. She hurriedly wiped her eyes before forcing a smile. “Yingluo.”

Xia Yingluo saw that her eyes were red and guessed that she had cried, so she comforted her. “I saw the news. They’re all saying rubbish. I know that you’re not that kind of person. Ling’er, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side.”

Jin Ling’er was in low spirits. “I want to be with Du Zheng. Am I just being delusional?”

Xia Yingluo said, “Are you willing to give up now?”

Jin Ling’er stopped speaking. She was silent for a while before saying, “What should I do, Yingluo?”

Before Xia Yingluo could answer, the ward door was pushed open and Du Zheng walked in. The two girls turned around and saw that he was holding a bouquet of flowers. They were flaming and dazzling red roses.

“Brother Du Zheng.” Xia Yingluo was the first to stand up and address him.

Du Zheng nodded and looked at Jin Ling’er. “Are you feeling better?”

Jin Ling’er was quiet for a moment before nodding.

Du Zheng took a few steps forward, looked at her carefully and frowned slightly. “Why do you look so weak?” He placed the flowers on the table beside the head, slightly bowed his head and said to Xia Yingluo, “Yingluo, I have something to tell you.”

Xia Yingluo nodded. “Sure.”

The two of them walked to the corridor outside the hospital ward. Du Zheng bowed his head and said to Xia Yingluo, “I want to ask for a favor.”

Xia Yingluo smiled. It was within her expectations, but she was still a little surprised. “Favor? Brother Du Zheng, all these years, you have never asked me for anything. Let me think… I’ve known you since a young age and it seems that you’ve never asked anyone for anything, either.” She lifted her face and looked at him slyly.

Du Zheng’s initially cold face became warmer. He said, “I wanted to ask if you could recognize Ling’er as your godsister. It’s best if she can have a position in the Li Family so the people in my family can’t make things difficult for her.” These days, his mother had been making a fuss at home and telling him that she wanted him to break up with Jin Ling’er. Her main reason was that Jin Ling’er had no status and could not help Du Zheng at all if she married into the family and would make him a laughing stock.

However, if Jin Ling’er became Xia Yingluo’s sister, things would be different. Even though she was not blood-related to her, she would be able recognized in high society and no one would say that she was not qualified.

Xia Yingluo understood what he meant and smiled. “Ling’er did not make a mistake liking you.”

In reality, she had this idea a long time ago. If she could recognize Jin Ling’er as her sister, she would be able to put things right forever. However, she never mentioned this because she wanted Du Zheng to voluntarily suggest this to prove that he was serious about Jin Ling’er. If this criterion of hers was met, it showed how much love was between the two.

Du Zheng tensed up and asked her, “Does this mean you agree?”

Unexpectedly, Xia Yingluo shook her head.

Du Zheng frowned. “Yingluo…”

Suddenly, Xia Yingluo laughed. “I mean, how about I let my parents recognize her as their goddaughter. This way, she will officially be able to enter the Li Family and it’s more effective than me randomly calling her my sister, right?”

Only then did Du Zheng relax. “You really are thoughtful.”

The two of them made an agreement. When Xia Yingluo went home, she told Li Lei and Xia Ling about this. Her parents always doted on her, and since it was good for their family to indirectly marry the Du Family, they agreed easily.

Xia Ling said, “When Jin Ling’er is better, we will have a press conference to officially announce this.”

Xia Yingluo hugged her neck affectionately and said, “I just know that my mom is the best.”

However, before Jin Ling’er recovered, she received news from someone appointed by Du Zheng that Jin Ling’er was poisoned by some powder. She misused the fatal drug and was now being rescued in the hospital. Her situation was riskier than the accident.

Xia Yingluo’s face turned pale. She rushed out and went straight to the hospital ward after she put down the phone.

In the ward, Jin Ling’er was critically ill and a large group of doctors was surrounding her. All of them were at their wits’ ends. “Prepare for the worst.” The head doctor shook his head and sighed. He said to them, “Even God can’t save her after suffering another injury.”

“Doctor…” Du Zheng still wanted to say something.

The doctor stopped him. “Mr. Du, I know that you are powerful, but Miss Jin’s condition has already exceeded the limits of our capabilities. No matter how much you threaten or bribe us, nothing is going to work.”

Xia Yingluo could not be bothered to listen to their argument. She directly told the head doctor, “Take your people out. Immediately!”

The head doctor did not understand what she meant and Xia Yingluo impatiently demanded. “Quickly! I will be responsible for any problems. If not, trust me when I say that you will lose all your jobs!”

After her threat, a few doctors finally went out.

Xia Yingluo said to Du Zheng, “Brother Du Zheng, you should go out too.”

“What are you going to do?” Du Zheng asked her.

“I don’t have time to explain,” Xia Yingluo hurriedly said. “Quickly. I want to save Ling’er’s life. If you don’t go out, it’ll be too late.”

Du Zheng looked at her deeply and decided to leave. He also closed the ward door behind him.

She was left alone in the ward with Jin Ling’er, who was almost dying. Xia Yingluo looked at Jin Ling’er and saw that she was poisoned so severely that her lips had become black. Her pale face was so scary and she looked almost dead. She did not dare to waste any more time, so she lifted her wrist and was just about to bite her vein.

“Yingluo!” Suddenly, a voice stopped her.

Xia Yingluo turned around and saw a handsome man appear in the ward, followed by a woman who looked a little disheveled. It was Wei Lingnan and Gu Jinxiu.

She looked at them but could not be bothered to pay attention to them. She opened her mouth and again attempted to bite her wrist.

Wei Lingnan grabbed hold of her. “Don’t be like this! Let Gu Jinxiu do it.”

Only then did Xia Yingluo look at him seriously. “What exactly are you doing?”

“Your energy is precious.” Wei Lingnan said, “Tan Ying told me something happened to Jin Ling’er, so I brought Gu Jinxiu over. I don’t have the universal cure anymore because I used the last bottle the previous time.” He knew that Xia Yingluo was very close to Jin Ling’er and was afraid that Xia Yingluo would recklessly try to save her, so he hurried over.
