Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: Take Care

An Zhiyuan began sorting Bai Xiao’s luggage, taking out chocolate powder, chocolate, candies, and some other high-calorie items.

Bai Xiao is currently in a coma, so having her eat something seems impossible.

He planned to try mixing some chocolate powder and feeding it to her spoonful by spoonful.

The aftereffect of Bai Xiao’s special ability is hypothermia. In such cases, she needs a large amount of calories.

He hoped that this time it was also triggered by such a situation.

Earlier, An Zhiyuan held Bai Xiao’s fingers and felt completely different from the usual attraction between their bodies when she would heal him.

This signal seemed to have disappeared.

Honestly, An Zhiyuan was very anxious inside.

The disappearance of this signal—is it an indication that the special ability within Bai Xiao is gone?

If she doesn’t have her special ability now, how will she save herself?

He had just spoken with the head of the expert group here, and the staff here have been researching day and night, but expecting to solve the virus problem in just a few days is very unrealistic.

Moreover, he had asked Doctor Zhang, as he had to.

Asking others wouldn’t get him the real details.

Only Doctor Zhang and that Xiaoyu, since he is Bai Xiao’s husband, informed him that Bai Xiao has been in a coma for a full two days and nights.

During this period, the virus had already undergone a seismic transformation.

Originally, only 20 people in the village had collapsed, but now among the remaining seventy or eighty people, four or five others have shown similar symptoms.

And two among the critically ill have died.

If one says there’s panic, it truly is so now. noveldrama

The doctor has thought of various treatments, but none have worked.

Even antibiotics are ineffective here, and they’re still trying other drugs, which might work briefly, but soon the virus builds its immunity.

This virus seems to be constantly evolving, changing over time.

Nearly all doctors are at their wits’ end, studying under microscopes day and night, only for a new method to be quickly broken down by the virus.

They truly don’t know what to do now.

The higher authorities have notified the provincial and city leaders because the epidemic has taken on a new dimension.

While investigating the village’s situation, there were two people who had just returned from working outside, but back then these two were not sick, and no one paid attention to it.

But just yesterday, both fell ill simultaneously.

Moreover, a disease outbreak occurred in another village 20 miles away.

That village is not as severe as Ji Village, but three people have already collapsed.

They have discovered that the incubation period of the disease is three to seven days.

If the virus doesn’t erupt within these days, it proves that it’s truly not there.

That village has now been sealed off too.

Even with this lockdown, it’s to no avail.

Because the two people sick in Ji Village not only went to that village but also attended a market gathering.

This vastly broadened the scope.

Now it’s beyond what these few experts can handle.

They must request national assistance.

An Zhiyuan felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

He never expected this epidemic to become so serious.

At this rate, Bai Xiao’s situation—if Bai Xiao herself cannot cure it—we have no idea when experts might develop a vaccine.

If the virus truly continues changing in countless ways, it’s doubtful whether Bai Xiao can hold on until that day comes.

He’s not an expert nor a medical scientist—researching technical aspects isn’t his forte.

If Bai Xiao were just an ordinary patient, then like everyone else, he would only be able to stay by her side and care for her without any other means.

But Bai Xiao is different—she can heal herself.

An Zhiyuan understood that Bai Xiao now lacks energy, like a battery devoid of power.

He must replenish her energy, to give her the strength to fight the viruses.

Just like he’s often done before.

This is the only way he knows to help Bai Xiao solve these issues.

He fed her warm chocolate spoonful by spoonful, with a towel under Bai Xiao’s neck, An Zhiyuan talked to her somewhat ramblingly, "Xiaoxiao, I’m right here, by your side. I know you can hear me.

If you can hear, you must get better soon. Remember our vow, through thick and thin, never apart. This time, it’s your turn and I to face it together. I believe you can get through this.

We have decades ahead to spend together. Whatever you lack, tell me, and I will do it for you. Let’s fight this virus together; nothing is insurmountable. You once helped me fight landmines—I nearly died.

What is this illness now? It’s nothing for you, right? You’re my wife, and I know my wife is the most capable."

While wiping off the brown stains by Bai Xiao’s mouth, watching Bai Xiao’s unresponsive, pale face, he turned his head, as if fearing that Bai Xiao would see his sadness.

Turning back, he was all smiles, "Xiaoxiao, wake up, I’m right here, not going anywhere, not leaving your side. If you don’t want to come back, then I will stay with you, not going anywhere, for as long as you want to sleep."

His Xiaoxiao was tired. All along, his Xiaoxiao was like a busy little bee. Though she can’t save the world, she’s no superhero, yet everyone around her benefited because of her. From the moment he met her, she strove for everyone around her.

Including him, her husband.

He considered himself quite the man, always wanting to protect his wife, but each time there was a life and death situation, it was this woman who, without regard for anything, came to save him.

He felt ashamed.

This time it was his turn to guard her.

After giving her a cup of chocolate, An Zhiyuan set two charcoal braziers burning in the room. Although the temperature here isn’t low, as it’s autumn, only at night does it get two degrees cooler. During the day, short sleeves are still necessary.

Yet An Zhiyuan still lit the braziers.

He fetched hot water, wrung a towel to make a warm compress, and gently wiped her skin, constantly massaging her muscles with his sturdy hands to speed her blood flow.

After over an hour of effort, An Zhiyuan finally noticed that Bai Xiao’s face seemed to gain a slight flush.

At least it wasn’t as ghostly pale as before.

He covered her with two quilts.

An Zhiyuan sat by her side, holding her fingers.

His Xiaoxiao, wake up.

He’d trade thirty years of his life for her smile.

If he had known that Bai Xiao’s departure would be a farewell of life and death, he wouldn’t have let her go.
