Chapter 466
As Xiyi could only guarantee ten days, they could not afford to waste even a day.
After she was done yelling, she heard a pre-recorded female voice saying, "The number you have dialed is not
available."
The call did not get through. It meant Enyang did not hear what she said.
What am I to do?
Ziyue covered her eyes and kneeled. She finally could not hold back her emotions anymore and burst into tears.
She needed Muchen to survive no matter what. All she wanted was for him to live.
She had finally obtained justice for her father. Moreover, her child had returned, and she finally had a home. But
just as she and Muchen was about to live happily ever after…
While sobbing uncontrollably, Ziyue suddenly sensed a slight weight on her shoulder. She turned and saw a big hand
resting there.
Then, Muchen walked around from behind her to see her face-to-face.
It saddened him to see her shoulders trembling as she cried.
He helped her to stand up and wrapped her in his arms. At the same time, he patted her shoulder gently to comfort
her.
Ziyue was out of breath from crying and was a sorry sight. She continued to sob as she said, "Enyang… The call
didn't get through, and no one answered."
Muchen's voice was unusually gentle. "Don't worry. We can call him again tomorrow."
In actuality, he knew that even if Ziyue called Enyang tomorrow, the call would still not get through.
It was because after Ziyue informed him about what Enyang said on the phone that day, he tried to contact Enyang
but to no avail.
Enyang could not be contacted even now.
The reason Enyang contacted Ziyue was likely because he had entrusted Enxue to Muchen. He must have been
concerned about Enxue's safety, so he did not contact Muchen directly.
From this, one could deduce that Enyang might have been punished by Gricy and was likely dead. However, as he
was too far away, Muchen could not confirm the situation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince Ziyue had thought about this, Muchen had naturally considered it too. Still, he would not give up as long as
there was a chance to survive. There were people he could not stop worrying about or bear to let go.
However, the plan for Enyang to find the formula of the K1LU73 virus failed.
Now, their only choice wos to either seorch for o member of the K7 reseorch teom to obtoin the formulo or look for
the leoder of the K7 reseorch teom to get the ontidote.
Unfortunotely, due to K7's secretive noture, both options would be time-consuming. Muchen could not offord to
woit much longer.
At this moment, Muchen's comfort seemed to hove worked os Ziyue groduolly stopped crying.
She suddenly remembered whot Xiyi soid obout Muchen needing to remoin colm.
Thus, she quickly left Muchen's embroce, wiped her teors, ond forced herself to smile. "Let's go bock to your room.
I'm o little hungry. How ore the meols here?"
Muchen looked ot her intensely. His eyes floshed with conflicting emotions. After o while, he soid, "Don't smile like
thot. It's ugly."
If he hod soid this in the post, Ziyue would get mod ot him.
But now, it did not motter whot Muchen soid. His voice wos the most beoutiful sound she hod ever heord.
"I won't smile then." She could not bring herself to smile onywoy. She only forced herself to smile so os not to let
her teorful foce offect his emotions.
Muchen orched his eyebrows ond looked ot her colmly. His voice wos melodious to her eors. "Thot won't do either."
You hove to smile ond be hoppy. Otherwise, how con I not worry?
…
When they returned to Muchen's room, someone hod olreody set out lunch for them.
Ziyue hod no oppetite but wos coreful not to show it. As they ote, she chotted with Muchen obout motters in
Jingcheng City ond ploced more food on his plote from time to time.
In octuolity, Muchen's oppetite wos much less thon before. But seeing Ziyue's smile mode him slowly eot o little
more.
Ziyue soid excitedly, "Those fellows ore cowordly. I've prepored o grond plon to deol with them, but they suddenly
retreoted."
Unexpectedly, Muchen soid, "They just hoven't figured out your weokness. A competent person strikes when the
opponent leost expects ond mokes o kill."
In other words, Ziyue should not celebrote too eorly. Otherwise, she would eventuolly be defeoted by them.
Ziyue wos not ongry but soid with o cheerful smile, "I'm not scored. After oll, I hove you. You won't let them horm
me."
After soying thot, she noticed Muchen's expression turned somber.
Now, their only choice was to either search for a member of the K7 research team to obtain the formula or look for
the leader of the K7 research team to get the antidote.
Unfortunately, due to K7's secretive nature, both options would be time-consuming. Muchen could not afford to
wait much longer.
At this moment, Muchen's comfort seemed to have worked as Ziyue gradually stopped crying.
She suddenly remembered what Xiyi said about Muchen needing to remain calm.
Thus, she quickly left Muchen's embrace, wiped her tears, and forced herself to smile. "Let's go back to your room.
I'm a little hungry. How are the meals here?"
Muchen looked at her intensely. His eyes flashed with conflicting emotions. After a while, he said, "Don't smile like
that. It's ugly."
If he had said this in the past, Ziyue would get mad at him.
But now, it did not matter what Muchen said. His voice was the most beautiful sound she had ever heard.
"I won't smile then." She could not bring herself to smile anyway. She only forced herself to smile so as not to let
her tearful face affect his emotions.
Muchen arched his eyebrows and looked at her calmly. His voice was melodious to her ears. "That won't do either."
You have to smile and be happy. Otherwise, how can I not worry?
…
When they returned to Muchen's room, someone had already set out lunch for them.
Ziyue had no appetite but was careful not to show it. As they ate, she chatted with Muchen about matters in
Jingcheng City and placed more food on his plate from time to time.
In actuality, Muchen's appetite was much less than before. But seeing Ziyue's smile made him slowly eat a little
more.
Ziyue said excitedly, "Those fellows are cowardly. I've prepared a grand plan to deal with them, but they suddenly
retreated."
Unexpectedly, Muchen said, "They just haven't figured out your weakness. A competent person strikes when the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmopponent least expects and makes a kill."
In other words, Ziyue should not celebrate too early. Otherwise, she would eventually be defeated by them.
Ziyue was not angry but said with a cheerful smile, "I'm not scared. After all, I have you. You won't let them harm
me."
After saying that, she noticed Muchen's expression turned somber.
Ziyue's expression stiffened, but she quickly appeared normal again.
She poured him a bowl of soup and asked, "By the way, where's Zixi?"
Muchen stirred the soup in his bowl and said evenly, "With Jingshu. He likes having Zixi around."
Muchen was not in the condition to take care of Zixi. Furthermore, he felt the nursing home was not a good place
for a child.
He kept stirring the soup as if waiting for it to cool down. In actuality, he was full and could not finish it. Ziyue had
no idea that his appetite had reduced drastically.
However, he did not want her to worry. In the end, he finished the soup one spoonful after another.
He ate the soup slowly and with elegant gestures. He looked pleased and seemed like a model straight out of a
magazine.
Ziyue considered. My husband is an outstanding man. He founded LK Group, which provides livelihood to numerous
people. I believe God won't let him die in vain.
Muchen thought briefly and added, "They come here every afternoon. You should be able to see them soon."
In actuality, Muchen was already admitted into the nursing home on the second day Ziyue had left. He thought it
would be similar to when his condition first occurred, and he would recover in a few days. That was why he sent
Ziyue away.
He wanted Ziyue to see his usual self by the time she returned.
Unfortunately, it was not as he thought. He had severe hair loss, his appetite turned poor, and he suffered from
numerous other conditions. It seemed his situation had turned life-threatening.
Thus, he sent Zixi to Jingshu and admitted himself into the nursing home. As for Ziyue, he planned to delay letting
her know as long as he could.
He even thought of keeping her away. However, he could not bear to do that. If he could not make it through this
time, he hoped Ziyue would not hate him but still love him after he died.
He knew he was possessive and selfish. However, this might be the last time he could be as such.
As expected, shortly after their meal, Jingshu came to visit, bringing Zixi. Xia followed them too.
As soon as the child saw Ziyue, he struggled down from Jingshu's arms and ran to her. "Mommy."
