Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 996 - 999: Promise Me, Don’t Cry 3

Her soft, timorous tongue swept through his mouth, sending an electric shiver through his body.

Gu Shaocheng’s face gradually grew hot, and even he, a man of considerable self-control, could not withstand the provocation of his beloved. Yet before he could savor her initiative, the sweet little tongue had already retreated.

In that moment, he felt an immense sense of loss.

He glared with frustrated desire, only to suddenly discover a hint of sweetness lingering in his mouth.

Chewing it twice, he realized it was a small candy.

Helplessly looking at her, Chenxing giggled triumphantly, mischievous to the point of asking for a spanking. "Haha, if it were poisoned, you’d be eating it with me."

Gu Shaocheng didn’t have the heart to scold her, instead he hugged and kissed her fiercely once more and then continued to watch the movie with her in his arms. After their playful tussle, Gu Shaocheng’s mood completely brightened, but while the male lead’s spirits were lifted, Chenxing began to feel anxious inside, fearing it was the calm before the storm. She looked up, "Should we go to the sanatorium now and have Doctor Tian check on you again?"

Gu Shaocheng shook his head: "No, let’s not!"

Chenxing instinctively hugged him, resting her head on his chest, "Oh, then we won’t go."

For a long while, no one spoke; they were engrossed in the movie. This part was quite good — a couple playing by the seaside, the woman hugging the man, the man kissing the woman — just like the two of them, which made both very engaged and captivated by the scene. After it ended, Gu Shaocheng pondered for a moment and said, "This illness of mine, the pathology might be poisoning. Tian Buyu said that he has found the cause, and the chance of a cure is 10% greater than before."

Chenxing exclaimed, "Ah? Poisoned? Isn’t it that disease?"

"It may be a toxin carried over from the mother. Tian Buyu called me this morning with the results. There are also traces of excessive elements in my body. It’s not that I’m poisoned, but rather that the fetus carried over some chemical elements in high levels. I don’t understand the details. It is said to be one of the causes of Lu-Garré syndrome, and current scientific research suggests that the causes can generally be divided into three categories, one of which is excessive trace elements, which they call poisoning."

Chenxing cried out in shock, "So you mean your mother was poisoned, and then she conceived you, and you were also poisoned?"

Gu Shaocheng was impatient to go into detail, since he really didn’t understand. He was not versed in medical studies, and many of the terms were as unfamiliar to him as reading a heavenly script: "Probably. It could be that her own body had an excess of certain trace elements, which led to her contracting the disease, or it could be that someone poisoned her. I’m still investigating. So much time has passed, and it’s taking time to look into it, as many people involved are no longer alive."

"Your mother didn’t pass away until you were in your teens, but your illness isn’t hereditary; it comes from toxins in the womb?" Chenxing digested his words carefully, "Doesn’t that mean your mother was ill for over a decade before she passed away?"

"Maybe. Perhaps like me, she didn’t show symptoms in the early stages and only fell ill after a certain period of time. This still has to be analyzed by Tian Buyu and his team before they can give me a conclusive diagnosis." It was also possible that someone had been poisoning his mother continuously for over a decade through food or other means, ultimately leading to the onset of her disease.

With these thoughts, his gaze turned icy cold.

If that were true, it had to be someone close to his mother. He couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly; he hoped this was not the case, because if it were, he would not let the person responsible go unpunished. To kill his mother in such a painful way without the knowledge of God or ghost, such a person deserved to be sliced into a thousand pieces!
