XH 196 - Honorable father can protect us all!

Noticing that Duan XiYing was following her, Xiao Hua quickly stopped her. "XiYing, please stay behind and keep an eye on the patients. If something dangerous happens, bring the doctors away, please!"

Duan XiYing frowned, naturally not pleased with Xiao Hua's request.

"If things get too much for you to handle, disregard everyone and run by yourself," Xiao Hua said firmly, her eyes flashed with determination.

Being with Duan XiYing for months, she had yet to witness her being back to the corner whenever the inner maids spar with each other. Even the strong and capable An Jing could never defeat Duan XiYing most of the time, ending with a draw.

Not only that, even Eunuch Lau Liu showed great respect to Duan XiYing and even called her 'lady'. Plus, the Third Prince seemed confident that she would be safe if Duan XiYing was with her.

That was why Xiao Hua was not very worried about letting Duan XiYing stay behind to keep an eye on the patients and the doctor's safety.

"If it's as dangerous as Xiao Hua says, XiYing won't leave Xiao Hua," Duan XiYing rebuke sternly, the sharp glint in her eyes finally showed that she was older than she appears.

"I just need to talk to Doctor Bai for a while and will return quickly. Da Bei will be with me so I will be fine!" Xiao Hua's eyes shifted to Hao Li, who happened to turn around and saw her. "XiYing, please. I'm sorry for troubling you, but it's urgent for me to speak with Doctor Bai and Hao Li is looking at me right now!"

"Da Bei," Duan XiYing called and Da Bei landed on the ground before Xiao Hua with a soft thud. "Protect Xiao Hua." If Xiao Hua's fear had not been replaced with determination, she would never agree to this.

Da Bei nodded seriously and Xiao Hua smiled in relief. "Thank you, XiYing! And beware of bugs inside the patients' body!"

Duan XiYing nodded, her eyes shined like a predator. So that's what frightened her little miss.

"Miss Bai! Where are you going?" Hao Li yelled when he saw Xiao Hua running away.

"Xiao Hua wants to talk to Doctor Bai. Xiao Hua will be back soon," Duan XiYing explained and without waiting for Hao Li's reply, she went to examine a patient, looking for the bugs that Xiao Hua had mentioned. Her fingernails tapping onto each other, ready to stab any bugs if they crawled out of the bodies.

Left alone with no further explanation, Hao Li sighed and decided to let Xiao Hua off. That girl must have gotten scared and went to cry for her father.

Doctor Shen gazed at Doctor Bai alike to a fanboy meeting his idol. Even amidst the gloomy, moist, and dark environment, Doctor Bai was like a glowing light!

"You found the cure?" The head warden asked with joy lit in his eyes. His eyes darted between the dead guard and Doctor Bai. The dead guard originally has vivid green skin but after Doctor Bai applied the cure, the green color slowly disappeared!

Since the Gu Dan spy's body was exploded into small pieces, it would be hard for Doctor Bai to conduct an investigation on it. With no other choice, they allowed the dead guard to be tested.

The head warden was a tough man with a steel heart, unsympathetic to the prisoners and well known as the devil towards the prisoners. In contrast, he genuinely cared for his own men working under him. He had gone personally to inform the dead guard's family of his demise and asked for their understanding to allow his body to be examined.
