After all, medical researches were not magic. They relied on practice. Many of them are even built on patient experiments. Gu Jinchi was unique. She had no other choice but to...

Su Qinglan glanced at Gu Jinchi's arms. Much blood had already been drawn from his arms. It was hard for all the wounds from drawing blood to be recovered, but now he would once again go through...

"Alright, don't show that expression. We can draw blood in one go and ensure that he doesn't suffer as much as possible. This is a gift for saving me from that madman." Lin Xiaoxiao put her hand into the white coat pocket and fumbled for a long time before taking out a piece of paper and a pen.

Her research lab had been mostly destroyed, and everything had to start over. Judging from the condition here, it was indeed a good place, so she could kind of take over it for the time being.

"These are what I need. I hope you can send someone to buy them for me." She handed out the long list without hesitation, and Jack tactfully took the list.

Right now, he was the most awkward person here. He could not let his teacher do this kind of hard work.

"Learn more from Miss Lin. It will be of great help to you." Peter gently patted Jack on the shoulder, not knowing if he was comforting or teasing him.

Then, Peter smiled and extended his hand to Lin Xiaoxiao like a gentleman. "Hello, my name is Peter. Please allow me and my student to be your assistants and learn from you."

Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and politely reached out. From a certain perspective, these two were really teachers and students.

"You are welcome. I have also read your academic paper and it has provided a lot of help during my bottleneck period."

Su Qinglan did not have the mood to listen to the greetings between them. He turned around and gently touched Gu Jinchi through the glass, staring at him with deep and sad eyes.

Gu Jinchi, I have found the person who is most likely to help you now. Please persevere.

…

"Mommy! I called you during the kindergarten break. Why didn't you pick it up? Did you forget me while dating Daddy?" As soon as the video call connected, Su Qinglan heard Gu Yize's complaints before she saw him.

He ran to the sofa with his phone in his hand and found a comfortable posture before he put on a straight face and looked at Su Qinglan seriously, ready to give a long speech.

Su Qinglan smiled helplessly and found an excuse. "This morning, my phone accidentally broke. I only got a new phone in the afternoon."

"So that's how it is. Then you must be careful in the future. Otherwise, I will be worried about you." Gu Yize pouted, his face flushed red.

No matter how mature he was, he was still a child. Now that they were separated, he could only see his mother through the small screen on his cell phone every day and he had very limited time which he was looking forward to the most.

"Okay, I won't let you worry anymore. How are you today?" Looking at her soft and cuddly son, Su Qinglan felt much better. She couldn't give out. She had to take care of Gu Jinchi and Gu Yize.

"Not great. My classmates are all concerned about why my pretty Mommy didn't pick me up after school. Mommy, when will you and Daddy be back?" Gu Yize asked, pursing his lips.

He worked hard to hold back his tears. He used to live with his grandmother without his parents by his side. He was a strong child. He could not be so fragile.

However, how could this little detail escape Su Qinglan's eyes? But now, Gu Jinchi would probably take a long time to make any progress.

She could directly tell Gu Yize that his daddy was just asleep in the past. How could she explain the current situation to him?

"After Daddy and I finish our work here, we can go back to accompany you. You are very strong and independent, right?" Su Qinglan comforted him softly, but what she said only made her heart ache. "Bear with it a little longer. Daddy and I will be back soon."

However, her words made Gu Yize burst into tears. He only used his sleeve to wipe it casually. He then said in a tough manner, "It doesn't matter! Anyway, Daddy and Mommy weren’t by my side in the past. I can barely live a while with Auntie Qin, but you must come back as soon as possible as you said."

The blood relationship between him and Su Qinglan and Gu Jinchi was like a bond. He could vaguely feel that his dad seemed to be "sleeping" again.

"Mommy, tell me the truth. Is Daddy incurable? Is Daddy asleep again?" He bit his lips, and his tearful look made Su Qinglan worried.

It wouldn't happen. Gu Jinchi would definitely be fine. They had come through so many obstacles. There was hope around the corner. How could she let the situation get worse?

Su Qinglan endured the bitterness and shook her head. "It won't happen. Although your daddy is asleep, I have already found a genius doctor for him. When he is cured, we can be together forever. You don't have to worry about your daddy falling asleep."

Children were innocent. Gu Yize felt better immediately after hearing what she said. "Mommy, let me tell you a secret. A child in kindergarten told me that his grandfather was asleep and had to sleep in a box for a long time. It made him cry.

"I comforted him, but they did not know that my dad was also asleep. However, my dad would not sleep in the box. Daddy will wake up soon."

Seeing that Gu Yize talking non-stop, Su Qinglan suddenly felt very worried.

Perhaps for a five-year-old child, it was still impossible for them to understand the difference between sleeping and dying. In order to not let them feel sad, the adults could only use falling asleep to explain death.

"Your daddy will wake up soon. This is a secret. Little Ze's daddy is different from other people who are asleep. If you tell them, they will be worried." Everyone had known that Gu Yize was Gu Jinchi's son. If this matter was spread out, it would be troublesome.

"Why? Why is my daddy different from them?" Gu Yize insisted on asking this question, and soon, he seemed to have come to a sudden realization. "Mommy, are you saying that his grandfather is dead?"

Su Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and then her heart sank. It turned out that Gu Yize knew this concept.

"Alright, Little Ze. Why don't you take a look at what time it is? Aren't you an obedient child who sleeps early and wakes up early?" Qin Zaixin's voice suddenly came from the phone, and the screen immediately turned black.

Gu Yize pouted and stubbornly held her phone in his arms. During the day, he was still fine with Qin Zaixin. At night, they were like enemies. "I won't. I haven't even talked to my mommy for a while. No one can separate us!"

The low battery alarm of the mobile rang at this time. Qin Zaixin found a reason and said, "The mobile is out of battery. If you don't charge it, you won't see your mother."

"I know!" Gu Yize quickly got off the sofa, grabbed his phone, and ran out to find the charger. He looked at the screen and felt relieved. "Mommy, can you stay with me for a while longer? I know that sometimes people would use falling asleep as a euphemism for death, but my daddy is not dead."

The more Gu Yize was considerate, the more Su Qinglan felt guilty. He faced these obstacles, which other children needed to face together with their parents, all on his own. She could only feel heartbroken.

"Alright, take your phone with you tonight. Mommy will sleep with you like this, okay?" It was already very late now. Gu Yize's eyes became a little red, and he kept rubbing his eyes.

"Hmph, I will reluctantly accept it today, but you must come back as soon as possible and hug me to sleep. I have to make an appointment for you for a month. You have been accompanying Daddy recently, and you can only accompany me when the time comes." Gu Yize negotiated with Su Qinglan seriously. He even put his phone on his lap and counted his fingers.

Seeing him like this, Su Qinglan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright, I'll agree to your appointment first. Put your phone by the bed and Mommy will sing you to sleep, okay?"

"Yeah!" Gu Yize nodded vigorously and said to Qin Zaixin, "Auntie Qin, I will return the phone to you tomorrow. You can use mine first. Good night!"

He ran back to the room to wash up and cover himself with the quilt. Su Qinglan lay on the bed and looked at him lying on the bed. She started to hum a light and gentle melody.

"Mommy, good night..." Gu Yize soon could not hold back his sleepiness and fell asleep after saying goodnight.

Su Qinglan looked at her son on the phone and could not help but smile. His mouth was like hers, and his facial features were carved from the same mold as Gu Jinchi. It seemed that Gu Jinchi's genes had won.

Gu Jinchi, your genes are so powerful. You had to make it.

Just as Su Qinglan was in a daze, a pair of hands suddenly appeared on the screen. Qin Zaixin helped Gu Yize to tuck his quilt. She took away his phone and gently closed the door when walking out.

"I'm sorry for disturbing your mother and son's warm time. How is it now?" Qin Zaixin looked worried. She could tell from Su Qinglan and Gu Yize's tone that something was wrong.

Su Qinglan did not deliberately scare her despite her nervousness. "Lin Xiaoxiao is most likely to save him. Today, she has already started to make the reagent, but she is not very sure. She can only try her best."

"I'm sorry. I owe your family an apology. If not for me, things wouldn't have developed to this point. I'm really sorry." Qin Zaixin felt guilty, lowering her head with a sad expression.

"It's useless to say sorry now. It has already happened." Su Qinglan also had mixed feelings. Compared to Su Cheng, Qin Zaixin at least knew she was wrong.
