When they arrived at the villa, the driver helped Song Fan get Gu Chen inside before leaving immediately.

Song Fan found it odd, so the driver explained, “This is the house of Gu Chen’s mother’s family. He doesn’t allow outsiders to stay.”

Song Fan nodded. “Alright, then contact Su Ming and have him come over quickly.”

After the driver left, Song Fan called Zhao Min. Gu Chen needed constant care, including acupuncture, and the antidote couldn’t be delayed. Although Zhao Min wasn’t as skilled as Wu Yong, she was still one of the top researchers in the lab. Despite the late hour, Song Fan had no choice but to contact her.

By the time Su Ming arrived, Song Fan had just finished giving Gu Chen acupuncture. She was drenched in sweat, but Gu Chen’s breathing had finally stabilized.

Before they could exchange greetings, Zhao Min’s call came in. “The medicine is ready, according to your specified dosage. Where should I deliver it? The lab has a portable cooler. I can bring it along.”

Song Fan glanced at Su Ming, who immediately understood. “Sun Zhi is near the company. He can go pick it up.”

Song Fan nodded and told Zhao Min over the phone, “Sun Zhi will come to the lab to pick it up. Stay there and don’t go anywhere. I’ll send you his photo.”

Even though they were all from the Gu Corporation, Song Fan had to be cautious. With Gu Chen surrounded by threats, she couldn’t take any chances.

Half an hour later, Sun Zhi arrived hurriedly. Song Fan carefully checked the medicine before administering it to Gu Chen.

Zhao Min had indeed done a good job; the antidote worked quickly. Gu Chen soon woke up.

Upon waking, the first thing he saw was Song Fan’s anxious face. “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Nauseous?”

Gu Chen shook his head and managed to utter one word: “Water.”

Su Ming promptly handed over the prepared warm water. Song Fan helped Gu Chen drink a few sips, and he finally felt some relief in his throat.

Song Fan sighed in relief but knew they urgently needed to obtain the snow lotus. Even if the current antidote could temporarily suppress the poison, she couldn’t guarantee she’d always be able to save him in a crisis. 𝑅êạd new chapt𝒆rs on no/v/e/l𝒃in(.)com

Seeing her worried expression, Gu Chen smiled. “You’ve saved my life again. My savior.”

Song Fan rolled her eyes. “You seem pretty robust. You’ll probably live to 99. The moment you wake up, you start making jokes.”

Su Ming, aware of the situation’s background, mentioned, “Gu Hai contacted me today. The Xu family has confirmed the engagement. They need our cooperation to prepare for the engagement party.”

What happened between Xu Wen and Gu Zhuo was too scandalous. Though the Xu family had managed to suppress the news, there was no guarantee it wouldn’t leak out. It was better to formalize the engagement to mitigate any potential fallout.

Gu Chen understood and nodded. “This is important. Cooperate with Gu Hai’s requests as long as they’re reasonable.”

Gu Hai, having seized an opportunity, would undoubtedly make a big deal out of the engagement. But Gu Chen wasn’t worried. Even with the Xu family’s support, it would be for Gu Zhuo, not Gu Hai.

With Gu Chen’s condition improving, Su Ming returned to handle the company’s affairs, leaving Sun Zhi to assist with care. Song Fan decided to stay at the villa. With just the three of them, there was plenty of space.

“I still feel dizzy,” Gu Chen complained, holding his forehead with a pained expression as soon as Sun Zhi left the room.

Song Fan hurried over, but seeing the smile at the corner of his mouth and his steady pulse, she couldn’t help but mock, “You have nine lives. A little dizziness won’t kill you. I’m going to sleep.”

However, Gu Chen immediately pulled her into a hug, inhaling the familiar scent of her hair, which lifted his spirits. “This feels familiar. Did you comfort me like this when I was out of it?”

Song Fan didn’t expect Gu Chen to be conscious at the time. Remembering their earlier interaction, her face turned red.

“Hmph, you should be thankful I didn’t disable you then,” she retorted, trying to break free from his embrace. “I’m just going to the room next door. Don’t get any funny ideas!”

She slammed the door shut, finally calming down. Without Uncle Zhong’s supervision, she intended to enjoy the villa.

But before dawn, her phone rang.

“Miss Song, is Zhao Min with you? She didn’t come back all night!”
