Chapter 1025: Chapter 686 Mu Lin’s Infuriating Forgetfulness (13)_2

Just like that, only the elder Gong remained with Mu Lin, and then there was Jiang Yan, presumably sitting on the ground, not planning to get up.

At this moment, Mu Lin was unaware that her fainting this time had nearly alarmed all the leaders in B City; of course, among them were those worried, and some were happy.

After all, there were indeed quite a few people who wished for her death; now there are probably even more than before, given her current high profile.

No one expected that today, the patriarch of the Jing family would call the Research Institute to ask about the situation, and he did so personally; he inquired about the progress, and about Mu Lin’s condition, and then the person who answered the phone at the Institute hemmed and hawed, giving away signs of concern, and just like that, the news of Mu Lin being scratched by an infected patient and fainting spread.

By this time, Mu Lin had already been unconscious for five hours, prompting the elder to rush over, and he even notified that other elder.

Mu Lin felt that she really might have been too tired; this sleep, it really was a bit too long.

Opening her eyes, she made an effort to look at the hand of Elder Gong that kept holding onto hers, constantly staring at her without blinking. A flicker of astonishment crossed his face, "Grandfather, what’s wrong with you?" Why was he holding onto her hand nonstop and with such an expression at that?

It was as if... she was about to die.

She shouldn’t have had any problems.

Mu Lin guessed she might still be in a daze.

"Lin... Linlin..." the elder looked incredulously at Mu Lin. "You’re all right?"

A look of confusion spread across Mu Lin’s face as she looked at Elder Gong, "I just slept for a while." What could be wrong?

Speaking of which, what exactly happened just now? Why did her grandfather seem so odd?

Mu Lin tilted her head, trying hard to remember.

"That’s great." Suddenly, Elder Gong pulled Mu Lin entirely into his embrace, and she instinctively hugged the elder back, feeling his shaking with disbelief. Still puzzled, she gently patted his back like consoling him.

Seeing Mu Lin wake up looking no different than normal, the people beside her ran over joyfully. There did not seem to be a single place on her body showing signs of the disease, and even the wound on her hand from the scratch wasn’t inflamed!

Does this mean Mu Lin wasn’t infected, that she will be alright?

Why was this so?

However, some still felt puzzled and doubtful; an elder had said before that people who were infected would end up like them, ultimately dying.

"Girl," seeing that Mu Lin was awake, Mei Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief; the scare had given him a cold sweat, and he dared not call that old buddy, nor did he dare to inform her, otherwise, he figured he’d go insane.

Preoccupied just now, Mei Qingyuan didn’t realize that Elder Jing already knew and was going to arrive soon.

"Doctor Mu, that’s wonderful." Xiu Fan stood on the side, radiating joy all over.

Mu Lin looked baffled, slowly becoming confused; "What happened to me? Why do all of you have this... look like I’ve come back from the dead?"

"Girl, don’t you remember?" asked Mei Qingyuan.

"Remember what?" Mu Lin frowned. Had she forgotten something?

She yawned quietly; she seemed to have slept a little longer than before. She could continue working in a moment.

At this moment, Mu Lin looked somewhat cute, but unfortunately, no one appreciated it.

Elder Gong let go of Mu Lin, "Have you forgotten that you were scratched by a patient just now and then fainted?" As he spoke, he picked up the hand that Mu Lin had scratched.

Looking at the wound on her hand, Mu Lin: ...tried hard to recall.

Was that actually a thing? She really hadn’t paid much attention.

"You couldn’t have forgotten," the crowd was getting exasperated, they had been so worried just now, almost thinking she would turn into one of those people, but now it seems she won’t.

But something isn’t right. They heard that those who are infected would turn out like them! So why is Mu Lin completely unharmed?

"I remember now!" Finally! Mu Lin finally remembered the incident, "I guess I was accidentally scratched by his nail when I was giving an anesthetic just now, and then I passed out, right?"

The crowd nodded; they were relieved that she remembered, it really wasn’t easy.

Mu Lin gave a rather forced smile, "Actually, I didn’t faint; I was just sleepy because I hadn’t slept for two days." She felt a bit dizzy when she was scratched and fell over, so she took the chance to sleep, not expecting... Mu Lin never thought it would scare everyone like this.

Alright, it was her fault.

Looking at Mu Lin, the crowd: ...they suddenly felt like cursing someone, but they had just confirmed the girl was alright, and they couldn’t bear to scold her.

Ah well... let it be, as long as she’s alright.

"But girl, you got scratched, so why are you fine?" Mei Qingyuan voiced the question everyone was wondering; he had checked her over and over again, yet he couldn’t see any signs of discomfort on Mu Lin.

Could it be that contact with poisons from a young age has had its benefits?

Mu Lin frowned, explaining, "Maybe it’s because I’ve practiced martial arts since I was young, and my master used to throw me into a vat of medicine to soak, so perhaps I’ve developed an immunity to these things."

People nodded subconsciously, that made sense. Mu Lin’s explanation, Elder Gong actually knew about, he remembered Xiaoxue mentioned that his Linlin was impervious to hundreds of poisons.

Ah, how could he have forgotten such a crucial matter!

Luckily, luckily, it’s good as long as she’s alright.

Actually, Mu Lin herself never expected that not only were many poisons ineffective against her, even the substance concocted this time seemed to be useless as well.

Next moment, Mu Lin suddenly jumped down from the table, "I’ve got it!" Her face was filled with excitement, then leaving behind a message asking everyone not to disturb her, she ran into her own research room, leaving a group of people there looking at each other, utterly bewildered.

Speaking of which, this sudden change of scene — hasn’t it happened a bit too fast?
