Chapter 10
The Escape Plan Is An Indefinite Progress
Ming Liuyi could not take it anymore and tiredly opened her eyes. Actually, tired was not quite right, it was more like her breathing was faint, as if she was about to die at any moment. She took deep breaths to calm down, and it was quite a while before she had the strength to explore her body’s condition. Eventually, she discovered that the spiritual spring that had finally regained some vitality was actually showing that it was receding again, causing her to fall sick.
What kind of being was the male lead? If she left him, her spiritual spring would slowly dry up?
Ming Liuyi’s mind spun when she thought of this. She felt that the male lead could not be the reason for this. She did not believe that a fictional character could affect her, a soul from another world, and her spiritual spring. Likewise, she thought that maybe it was caused by the glass of orange juice. So Ming Liuyi gulped down a large glass of water and tried to sleep again.
But this time, Ming Liuyi slept for less than two minutes before she was forced to open her eyes. She felt like she was on fire. The glass of water she took did nothing to help because she felt even worse than before.
Left with no choice, Ming Liuyi could only get up, put on her clothes, and return to Yao Zizhou’s room dejectedly.
Then, a miraculous scene happened. When the spiritual spring in her body sensed the powerful aura of the male protagonist, its dry state instantly changed. Ming Liuyi could even feel the spiritual spring’s happiness as she approached Yao Zizhou. Her body had become comfortable; her body temperature returned to normal, her throat stopped burning, and her lips were not chapped anymore.
Ming Liuyi helplessly collapsed on the sofa, looking at Yao Zizhou’s sleeping face. She felt that her escape plan was going to remain a work-in-progress.
Xiao Fan knocked on the door of the master bedroom. “Madam, you have a call from President Yao.”
Ming Liuyi looked at the phone in the master bedroom and pressed the transfer button. “What’s wrong, father?”
“What’s wrong with you? Why didn’t I realize that you were so insensible before? If you chase the carer away, how will Zizhou eat? What is the meaning of this?!” Yao Gui immediately questioned her.
Ming Liuyi was not angry. She had already guessed that Yao Gui would make this call, but she had not expected it to be so fast–it had not even been a day. She adjusted her emotions and said in an exaggerated tone, “Father, you didn’t see it. That tube was so scary. Even the corner of Zizhou’s mouth was bleeding… I really couldn’t bear to see it…”
As expected, Yao Gui’s imposing manner weakened a little. “How is that possible? Ms. Zhu has been working for the Yao family for many years. She is patient and highly qualified. Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
Ming Liuyi sneered, but her tone was full of heartache, “There’s no problem with Zizhou’s swallowing and digestion, so I don’t think we need to do anything regarding intubation. I’ll feed him from now on, so you can rest assured now, alright?”
“You’re taking care of him? Do you even know how to take care of a patient?” Yao Gui did not hide his suspicion.
Ming Liuyi immediately felt wronged, and could not help but reveal a coquettish tone, “I can learn…”
Yao Gui let out a long sigh. “Alright, it’s good that you have this intention. If you need anything, just let me know. I’ll arrange for someone to do it.”
Hearing this, Ming Liuyi hesitated whether she should tell Yao Gui about the orange juice or not, but then she decided not to because this might alert the enemy. After all, if Yao Gui really cared about Yao Zizhou, some things would not have happened. She changed to a more tactful manner, saying, “Father, if I feel that the servants here are not good, can I change them?”
“What does it matter? It’s fine even if you fire them. You’re the matriarch there, so you have to maintain a stern attitude and not embarrass the Yao family. You should also not be petty,” Yao Gui said with dissatisfaction. How could the master yield to the servant?
The corners of Ming Liuyi’s mouth curved. “Since father says so, then my mind is at ease.”
Yao Gui did not say anything more and hung up the phone.
Ming Liuyi put down the phone with a smile. Now that she had listened to Yao Gui, she probably had an idea on what to do. She called Xiao Fan over and instructed her on how they would work together tomorrow.
When Xiao Fan heard this, she could not help but nod excitedly. “Madam, leave it to me.” There were a few people she could not tolerate, and now that she had the opportunity to deal with them, she could not help but feel a little happy.
Ming Liuyi looked at Xiao Fan’s grin, and tried to act nonchalant, but she could not resist a smile herself. However, she quickly took out her phone and started to look up on how to take care of a vegetative person. Now that she had accepted this task, no matter what the reason was, she had to do it well.
Although this world was from a book, these were not fictional characters to her anymore. Moreover, many things were not described in detail in the book. For example, Yao Zizhou’s three months in a vegetative state was just written as a passing thought. No one knew how he had survived those three months.
