Chapter 684: Chapter 682 Impossible_1

Hearing these words, Jiang Bai couldn’t help but pause, not responding to her but anxiously clutching her frail shoulders, "Why do you want to leave me? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, no, Bai, don’t overthink it, didn’t I say? I was just making a hypothesis!" Jiang Miaomiao quickly explained as she saw his agitation.

It was only then that Jiang Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and held her tightly in his arms, sounding a bit sad and wronged,

"Miaomiao, I don’t like such hypotheses. You mustn’t say such things again; otherwise, I’ll get very angry!"

The very reason he was created was to accompany her.

If even she wasn’t around anymore, what meaning would his existence have?

He would lose his soul, his center of gravity, everything, and there would be no more reason for him to keep living.

Jiang Miaomiao knew well what was in her heart, but could only swallow her words, "Alright, I won’t say it again, okay?"

She nodded somewhat helplessly and then muttered to herself in a complaining tone, "You’re such a liar! You just said you’d agree to anything I asked! But look at what happened!"

Humph!

Men are indeed big jerks!

"Except for this matter!" Jiang Bai added.

"Miaomiao, you said it, we are to be together for a lifetime, you can’t go back on your promise." Jiang Bai looked into her eyes, their fingers intertwined.

For some reason, he always felt there was something not quite right about her, feeling incredibly uneasy in his heart.

As if she could leave him at any moment.

Jiang Miaomiao hung her head, not responding to him.

A lifetime...

She too wanted to be with him for a lifetime...

But she couldn’t do it anymore!

"Miaomiao, why aren’t you speaking?" Jiang Bai was frantic as a flustered dog, staring at her intently, a guess looming ominously in his mind, "Miaomiao, tell me the truth, have you fallen in love with someone else?"

As he spoke, his voice began to choke up, his hoarse voice sounding as if it were forcibly squeezed from his throat.

If he had tears, he would certainly cry at this moment.

He had watched TV dramas; the reactions of people who fell out of love were similar to her current reactions.

Jiang Miaomiao was torn between tears and laughter; how could she ever fall in love with someone else? "Bai, what on earth are you imagining with that mechanical brain of yours? You... cough, cough, cough!"

She was in the middle of speaking when suddenly she began to cough violently, as if struggling to breathe.

The severe coughing made her bend over, and she swayed unsteadily, as if about to fall down at any second, a sight that was startling to behold.

"Miaomiao!" Jiang Bai shouted in alarm, hurrying to hold her and continuously patting her back.

Seeing her continue to cough incessantly, his head instantly broke out into a dense sweat from anxiety, "Miaomiao, Miaomiao, what’s wrong with you?"

Jiang Miaomiao kept on coughing, unable to answer him, and even sprayed blood on his face.

The gaudy blood, warm and with a salty tang, left Jiang Bai thunderstruck, unable to believe the sight of fresh blood at the corner of her lips.

It was just coughing, so why was there blood?

What on earth was wrong with her body?

"Miaomiao! Miaomiao, please don’t scare me, okay!" Jiang Bai’s mind was in complete turmoil, void of any calm.

Jiang Miaomiao, breathing with painful, ragged breaths, her heart pounding violently, as if she could die of sudden cardiac arrest at any moment, said, "Bai, Bai, I’m sorry, I... I might have to break my promise, I can’t be with you for a... for a lifetime anymore..."

After laboriously stuttering out these words, Jiang Miaomiao couldn’t hold on any longer; her eyes darkened, and she fainted.

She never expected her illness to strike so swiftly!

"Miaomiao!"

Jiang Bai’s eyes about to split with rage, he let out a roar and immediately carried the person to find Xia Ningxing.

In fact, there was no need for him to come over, Xia Ningxing and the others had already heard his cries of utter despair, and were now walking over.

"What happened to Miaomiao?"

When they saw that both of them were covered in blood, and that Jiang Miaomiao was still uncertain between life and death, Xia Ningxing was shocked.

The others were even more startled.

Jiang Bai was on the verge of collapse, "I don’t know, I don’t know what’s going on, Miaomiao, she just kept coughing, and then she coughed up blood and fainted."

"Miss Xia, please, you must save her, I beg you."

Jiang Bai’s voice was almost hoarse.

"Enough, stop talking, Miaomiao is my good friend, I will definitely save her. You quickly put her on the bed now, I’ll take her pulse and see," Xia Ningxing forced herself to calm down and immediately directed.

Jiang Bai hurriedly did as instructed.

The others, knowing they couldn’t help, quickly retreated to the side, silently praying for Jiang Miaomiao.

Even though they had only known each other for a short time, it was not difficult to see that Miaomiao was a good girl.

So no one wished for anything bad to happen to her.

Xia Ningxing immediately sat next to Jiang Miaomiao, took her slender wrist, and began to take her pulse.

As soon as she touched her pulse, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but furrow her brow, and what followed was that her brow creased more and more intensely, eventually forming a "川" character.

How could this be!

How could she contract such an illness!

Xia Ningxing’s fingers were trembling, and she quickly took out a pill from the box and stuffed it into her lips to wake her from unconsciousness.

After doing all of this, Jiang Bai immediately leaned in, asking anxiously and worriedly, "Miss Xia, how is Miaomiao?"

"She..." Xia Ningxing met his eyes full of worry and for a moment didn’t know how to tell him such tragic news.

"Just tell me!" Jiang Bai was nearly exploding with urgency, staring intently at her, his gaze as if to devour Xia Ningxing.

Xia Ningxing with a pained expression, "Miaomiao, she’s suffering from a disease called Gradual Death Syndrome, a complex familial genetic disorder, very rare, but with a mortality rate as high as one hundred percent."

"And this disease still remains a global medical challenge to this day, and both Ning Family and I have been committed to the research and development of medication for this disease, but without any progress. There might be a way in the future, but looking at Miaomiao’s current condition, she won’t last much longer, let alone until the day the medicine is available," Xia Ningxing’s voice was full of powerlessness.

Jiang Bai was as if struck by lightning, his eyes filled with despair, "So, you mean even you can’t save her?"

Although she really didn’t want to say these two words, Xia Ningxing still had to nod her head, struggling to speak, "No..."

After saying this, she felt as though all the strength had been drained from her body, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

She was unable to save her friend.

This time, she might truly be powerless.

Dammit!

"Mommy!"

"Ningxing!"

Chuanchuan and Lu Tingli rushed over in one quick step to support her.

"It can’t be, it can’t be..." Jiang Bai muttered in despair.
