Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1035: She’s Just a Fragile Woman (9)
In response to her words, the other side remained silent.
Su Yixia felt the ground and moved her body toward the source of the sound. Of course, those people wouldn’t keep them in the same cell. Soon enough, she encountered the obstruction of an iron bar, but that didn’t stop her from hearing Xiao Shumei’s coughing nearby.
Each cough was violent, causing Su Yixia’s expression to suddenly darken.
Could it be that this eldest sister of the Xiao Family is gravely ill and about to die?
If that’s the case, isn’t the environment here as bad as it gets? Before this, Xiao Shumei was considered an affluent lady of leisure, in excellent health, and could have lived as long as Grandma Xiao.
God, she doesn’t want to contract tuberculosis and die here like Xiao Shumei.
In the darkness, Xiao Shumei seemed to see her showing a scared expression and said calmly, "It might be difficult to wait until that day you speak of. Unless you’ve already made up your mind—"
What does she mean?
Su Yixia’s mouth twitched slightly, "Eldest Sister, I am, of course, like you. I’ve already decided to sacrifice myself for a good classmate. Even if Gu Nuan doesn’t come to save me in time, I’m ready to go down with the enemy."
Xiao Shumei seemed to squint her eyes in the darkness in response to her words.

It was near noon when they reached a fork in the road.
Neo turned around and got on his black motorcycle ride.
Xiao Yebai, holding someone in his arms, watched him start the engine on the motorcycle and ride away without looking back.
The person in his arms stayed unconscious. Yebai knew it was because the man likely injected her with some drug while tending to her wounds to prevent her from waking up when they parted.
A sigh, rare for the slightly parted lips of Xiao Yebai.
However, his noble brows and eyes remained indifferent as he looked down at her sleeping face, softly, as if swearing, "I will bring him back, for sure."
Within minutes of the motorcycle leaving, just as Neo expected, the rescue vehicle arrived.
The approaching jeep came to an abrupt stop upon seeing someone standing in the middle of the road. With an emergency brake, Zhan Dapeng leaped out from the co-pilot seat and charged forward like a mad bull, "Second Brother—"
Could it be? Is this not a dream? The brother they had been searching for all those days suddenly appeared in front of them?
Xiao Yebai turned around slowly, seeing him, and also saw the unmoving Lao Liu in the jeep.
Wei Changqing’s distant eyes seemed filled with skepticism when they met his.
Which was just a suspicion, guessing he hadn’t escaped alone and had definitely encountered that man like Lao Wu. Yet Xiao Yebai did not keep Lao Wu and didn’t notify them immediately, which left something to ponder?
Zhan Dapeng ran to his side, anxiously examining him and asked, "Second Brother, are you okay?"
Xiao Yebai firmly lifted the person in his arms. In truth, both his feet were already feeling weak.
Neo’s words were manifesting.
If he continued to sleep now, he wouldn’t know how long he’d sleep, so he had to do what needed to be done. After all, he had just promised to protect his wife and child with all his wits.
"Is Professor Tang in the car?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yebai’s words, Zhan Dapeng noticed the bandage on Gu Nuan’s neck in his arms and turned to shout into the car, "Someone’s injured!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Tang Sili stepped out of the car with a medical box.
As he approached the boss and the boss’s wife, the skilled surgeon quickly realized the boss seemed to be in a more severe condition.
"Mr. Xiao, how do you feel?"
Xiao Yebai glanced at him, "Someone said your pharmacology level is not high. How do you think I am?"
Tang Sili had already seen the needle marks on his arms, which quickly made him infer something. After all, he knew his capable boss wouldn’t be unable to escape if he were awake.
Surely, someone had administered an unimaginably large dose of drugs to Xiao Yebai.
"Mr. Xiao, do you want me to be honest?"
"Go ahead."
"I estimate that if you sleep again, you won’t wake up for a year and a half."
Zhan Dapeng’s face turned pale at this statement.
Wei Changqing approached at this moment, frowning upon hearing the news.
"How long can I stay conscious now?" Xiao Yebai seemed colder and calmer compared to them.
Tang Sili lowered his eyes slightly, "Perhaps, less than two hours."
Zhan Dapeng was anxious, "But isn’t Second Brother awake now?"
"Old Four." Xiao Yebai interrupted him; it wasn’t a time for idle talk now.
Tang Sili still needed to explain a sentence, "Mr. Xiao must have heard from the other party that using other drugs to support your consciousness would only overdo it."
Apparently, the doctor he hired wasn’t as skilled as Lao Wu.
Seeing the boss’s slight frown, Tang Sili composed himself solemnly, "If Mr. Xiao can trust me, I will strive to restore Mr. Xiao’s mind before Mrs. Xiao gives birth."
