After several days of treatment, Jason’s condition was not optimistic. He was occasionally awake, but most of the time, he was in a deep slumber, and his body became increasingly frail.
Since the first day she met Song Fan, Song Fan had not visited again. Song Fan and Gu Chen avoided discussing that day’s events, but both had some doubts in their hearts.
Song Fan made an effort to find some common ground between her and Jason but discovered that, except for the two years she lost her memory, she was certain she did not know Jason at any other time.
During those two years, Jason’s actions were confined to the Brown Group’s laboratory, and he gained fame for developing a new drug for cancer treatment.
Looking at the information on the computer, Song Fan sighed. Thinking about Jason’s attitude toward her that day, there were probably some things she needed to ask him directly. But before that, obtaining Snow Red Flower was crucial.
“Boss, Mr. Gu is here.” Lan Yue knocked on the office door, looking somewhat concerned as she gazed at Song Fan. “Are you okay? You’ve been sighing since the banquet.”
“I’m fine. Let him in. No need to bring coffee; we’ll be going out later.” Song Fan had decided to visit the hospital. It seemed that Charlie hadn’t gone all out to help them; he never mentioned Snow Red Flower.
When Gu Chen entered, he saw Song Fan with a troubled expression. He smiled and handed over what he had brought, saying, “Eating some chocolate will improve your mood. I happened to pass by this shop and thought of you.’
Song Fan looked at the logo on the bag, then at Gu Chen. She couldn’t bring herself to expose him; this brand of chocolate was handmade and customized, something you couldn’t get without ordering weeks in advance.
She took the chocolate bag, opened the box, and saw the exquisite heart-shaped chocolates, and for some reason, her face blushed slightly. She quickly took one and put it in her mouth, lowering her head, “Delicious, the sweetness is just right.”
Lan Yue hadn’t left the office yet and unconsciously licked her lips. She had realized that whenever Gu Chen came, there would be delicious snacks. He was like a walking snack dispenser.
It seemed Gu Chen felt the gaze behind him. He spoke emotionlessly, “The ones for you are already by the water dispenser.”
“Long live Boss! You’re the coolest!” Lan Yue, excitedly not knowing what to say, added before leaving, “Boss, we all support you. Fight on!”
Watching her make a cheering gesture, both Gu Chen and Song Fan felt a bit awkward. The two exchanged a glance, then quickly averted their eyes.
Song Fan was uncomfortable with this awkwardness. She coughed and asked first, “Are you here today to discuss the jewelry brand, or is there something else?”
Gu Chen was a bit tongue-tied by her question. He didn’t have anything urgent to discuss today, but he wanted to see her.
Seeing his hesitation, Song Fan blushed again. Trying to lighten the mood, she joked, “Could it be that you’re now a delivery man, delivering chocolates to
“That’s one way to interpret it.” Gu Chen was quite straightforward. “I heard from a female colleague that this chocolate is delicious, and they say eating sweets can make people happy.”
Song Fan didn’t expect him to be so direct. She felt her ears getting hot and, to change the subject, said, “Shall we go to the hospital? Jason should be close to figuring out that the poison in him is hard to resolve.”
When Jason was mentioned, Gu Chen nodded, “Charlie sent a lot of chemical equipment and various drugs to the ward yesterday. He also borrowed a laboratory from the hospital.”
Thinking about Jason’s abilities, Song Fan wasn’t surprised. “He must be trying to detoxify himself. Unfortunately, he can’t.”
To avoid having a skilled person like Jason detoxify, Song Fan used some of the traditional medicine formulas from her previous life. She was confident that no one in this world could rival her in this field.
Seeing her somewhat smug expression, Gu Chen laughed and said, “Exactly, he can’t detoxify himself. Moreover, the time he spends awake each day is decreasing.”
“That’s even better. It seems the Snow Red Flower will appear soon.” Song Fan finally relaxed.
When the two arrived at the ward, Jason was not there. Charlie rushed in as well.
“You’re here!” He seemed a bit tired, sitting on the sofa with a sigh. “My second brother is stubborn. His body is already weak, but he insists on personally researching the poison in his body.”
When he sat down, Song Fan finally saw bloodstains on his cuff. Frowning, she asked, “Has he already started researching the composition of the poison?”
“Yes.” Jason, pushed by his subordinates, also entered the ward. His face was extremely pale, but there was excitement in his eyes.. “Miss Song, you came to see me!”
