Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045: Helpless

"..." Bai Junjun.

"..." Li Wenli.

The two exchanged a guilty glance, noticing that the sky outside was gradually lightening. They figured plenty of people were likely already awake by now.

If others saw them soaking wet, what would happen if someone overthought the situation?

Especially Lady Lin—she’d definitely find a way to tease them.

Though they enjoyed observing drama, it didn’t mean they wanted to be the focus of it themselves.

Bai Junjun cleared her throat and said, "Master, you take his pulse first. We’ll go change clothes and come back shortly."

"Hurry now, don’t catch a chill."

Mr. Dan He didn’t think much of it, simply waved his hand, urging them to quickly change their clothes.

However, the commotion had already startled those who were alert. Wu Nuan and the Seven-Person Team woke up, and as they stepped out of their rooms, they just narrowly missed Bai Junjun and Li Wenli heading into the room. What they did see was the door to Ah Dao’s room abruptly flung open.

Curious, the group walked toward Ah Dao’s room, only to find Mr. Dan He checking Ah Dao’s pulse. Ah Dao’s flushed face clearly betrayed signs of illness.

"Brother Dao! What’s wrong?"

Xiao Chan was the first to rush in, and naturally, the others didn’t hold back either.

Wu Nuan lagged slightly behind, though her worry was no less pressing.

Miss Bai had mentioned before that there was residual poison lingering in Ah Dao’s body. It might erupt someday; nothing was guaranteed.

Though Wu Nuan hadn’t voiced this concern aloud, she had kept it in mind. During their stay here, Ah Dao had been completely fine, and gradually, she’d let her guard down. Yet, what was meant to come had finally arrived.

Looking at Ah Dao, Wu Nuan became deeply worried.

From what she knew, those who fell victim to snake poison inevitably lost all strength and died. Even if the poison transferred to someone else, it only meant the original victim escaped—the new bearer of the poison would surely perish.

Ah Dao was the first person to escape such a fate. However, now that he was showing symptoms of the poison playing out, Wu Nuan silently clenched her fists.

If someone had to die, then let it be her. After all, Ah Dao was only innocently caught up in this, and it wouldn’t be right for him to take her place in death.

While Wu Nuan was making her decision in silence, Mr. Dan He finished checking the pulse, but the seasoned master with countless remedies at his disposal could only shake his head helplessly.

"Master, what’s wrong with Ah Dao?"

By then, Bai Junjun had changed her clothes at lightning speed and returned.

Xiao Chan and the others, along with Wu Nuan, all jumped in shock at Bai Junjun’s sudden arrival. But in the next instant, Li Wenli stepped into the room as well.

The group quickly lit up with joy and shouted in excitement.

"Sister Junjun! Brother Fox! You’re back!"

The kids instantly flocked to the pair, asking after them enthusiastically. The matter concerning Ah Dao had momentarily been pushed to the back of their minds.

The duo simply ruffled the hair of these youngsters in greeting and quickly approached Mr. Dan He to ask again about Ah Dao’s condition.

Mr. Dan He glanced at the group, noticing Rabbit and other half-grown teens present. Yet, what he had to say wasn’t something suitable for children’s ears. He waved his hand dismissively and said, "You all wait outside. I have something to discuss with Fox and Junjun."

"?" Smiling Face, ever perceptive, looked at Ah Dao lying on the bed, a torrent of thoughts swirling in her mind.

For them to be excluded from the discussion, the topic must be about life and death. Could it be that Brother Dao’s condition was dire?

The thought made Smiling Face’s complexion turn pale in an instant.

Seeing the kids’ faces change, Li Wenli said, "Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything. I won’t let anything happen to Ah Dao. Now, go wait outside."

With Li Wenli’s reassurance, the group reluctantly filed out, though begrudgingly.
