In the hospital room, only Xiao Liu and his wife were left. Xiao Liu's wife wiped her eyes and said, "I am so scared now."

Xiao Liu waved his hand and said, "What are you afraid of? They're just a few outsiders; they can't stir up much trouble. Besides, Deputy Chief Chen is backing us, and he's not just anyone. This kind of thing is easy for him to handle."

"Let me tell you, Deputy Chief Chen will soon be promoted to the chief position. He'll definitely rise higher and higher. This time, I'm tied to him, so I'm one of his confidants. In the future, wherever he goes, I might follow. This is a huge opportunity, and I must seize it."

Xiao Liu's wife choked up and said, "But I see how painful this is for you. Last night, you tried to climb into the refrigerator. Is that something a person should do? I'd rather we have nothing than for you to risk everything to climb up."

Xiao Liu held his wife's hand and said, "I'm doing this for the future of our family. Think about where we're living now and our son. If I don't work hard, when will I be able to give you two a good life? When will I be able to buy you a big house, let you buy whatever you like, or send our son to the best schools?"

"But... I hope you stay safe; I don't want anything to happen to you." Xiao Liu's wife's eyes turned red as she said, "Even if we live a hard life, I still don't want anything to happen to you."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Xiao Liu tightened his grip on his wife's hand, but his brow suddenly furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Liu's wife asked anxiously.

"My stomach hurts a bit."

"Ah?" Xiao Liu's wife exclaimed in surprise.

"It's fine, don't be afraid. I probably just drank too much icy water last night, and now I have a bit of an upset stomach." Xiao Liu waved his hand, but his expression became increasingly uncomfortable.

"You're... you're scaring me." Xiao Liu's wife held tightly onto her husband's hand, feeling his grasp tighten as he clenched his teeth, clearly trying to endure pain.

"I'll go find a doctor, I'll go find a doctor." Xiao Liu's wife tried to get up, but her husband's hand clamped down on hers, preventing her from leaving, which made her even more anxious.

"Hoo..." Xiao Liu let out a long breath and finally unclenched his teeth, saying, "I'm... I'm okay now."

But his voice sounded incredibly weak.

"You... you're not in pain now?" Xiao Liu's wife asked anxiously.

"It's fine now." Xiao Liu's voice was a bit louder.

"I'll still call a doctor to have a look at you." Xiao Liu's wife finally managed to free her hand and hurriedly ran out to bring the doctor.

The doctor checked Xiao Liu but wasn't sure himself, and he took him for more tests, asking them to wait for the results.

Back in the hospital room, Xiao Liu and his wife exchanged a glance, and Xiao Liu's wife stammered, "Could it be... really?"

"This... seems like it's only been about five minutes."

"Seems like just an hour has passed." Xiao Liu's wife's face turned even paler.

Xiao Liu's expression equally worsened, "The cold I managed to catch yesterday, was cured by just two injections from him?"

Xiao Liu's wife's body began to tremble a little as she softly said, "Yes, he just gave you two injections, and then you were better."

"This... this..." Xiao Liu felt speechless, saying, "Well... maybe wait a little longer. Seems like another hour has passed, if it reaches two hours..."

"Impossible... if it's like this... what should we do?" Xiao Liu's wife's face turned white with fear.

Xiao Liu shook his head, saying, "It's probably just a coincidence, right? If he really had such abilities, wouldn't he be a god?"

Xiao Liu's wife's lips moved twice, wanting to say something, but nothing came out because she found the whole thing too frightening and didn't know how to express it.

Neither of them had checked the time specifically for the earlier episode, only having a general estimation, and as they felt time approaching, they grew increasingly tense. This would be the moment to confirm that fear.

"Does it hurt?" Xiao Liu's wife asked cautiously.

"No, don't be nervous. Perhaps it was just a coincidence earlier." Xiao Liu tried to sound relaxed, but his voice was dry and harsh.

Every minute or two, Xiao Liu's wife couldn't help but ask, "Does it hurt?"

"No... don't keep asking me; you're making me nervous." Xiao Liu tried to reassure his wife at first, but as she kept asking, he grew increasingly anxious and even felt like he was about to break down, speaking rather harshly.

"I am just worried about you, yet you are scolding me." Xiao Liu's wife pressed her lips together in grievance, and tears suddenly flowed from her eyes.

"It's my fault, it's my fault, don't cry. Sigh, I got scared too." Xiao Liu quickly apologized to his wife, and just as he finished, his expression suddenly changed, and he clutched his stomach.

"You... you..." Xiao Liu's wife's face instantly changed, grabbing her husband's hand.

"I... my stomach... hurts!" Xiao Liu gritted his teeth, forcing out the words.

"I'll go find a doctor, I'll go find a doctor!" Xiao Liu's wife quickly rushed out and called the doctor.

This doctor was the one who had arranged with Yue Qiang beforehand, named Lin Jinyu. Seeing Xiao Liu's wife coming to find him, he immediately left the doctor's office with her and whispered, "Do you need me to do anything else?"
