Jiang Yao glanced at Lu Xingzhi and saw that his expression didn't change at all. It was as if he didn't understand what Mr. Long meant. Jiang Yao couldn't help but admire Lu Xingzhi's endurance.
People who were usually not good with words would become especially talkative when they deliberately wanted to find a topic to talk about. The dining table was filled with the voices of Lu Xingzhi and Mr. Long. Jiang Yao became the quietest person who was only responsible for eating.
The two of them were playing Tai Chi with each other, and neither of them mentioned anything. It was obvious that they had met for the first time, but it was as if they were just friends who had gotten together to chat. Even the topic of the weather on the island could be a topic that they could talk about for five to six minutes. Jiang Yao felt bored as she listened to them.
Jiang Yao ate until her stomach was round. Lu Xingzhi was either talking to Mr. Long or putting food in Jiang Yao's bowl. The atmosphere at the dining table seemed to be unbelievably harmonious. However, other than Jiang Yao, Lu Xingzhi and Mr. Long obviously didn't touch their chopsticks.
The dishes on the table were removed, but Mr. Long didn't ask someone to send Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi away. Instead, he asked someone to serve tea. Then, he said to Jiang Yao, "Looking at Mrs. Lu's complexion, it seems that your health hasn't been very good these few days."
"A little." Jiang Yao had a helpless look on her face. "The kidnapping was a disaster that fell from the sky. Even though I came back fine, I was still injured. In addition to the previous accidents, my health hasn't been very good recently."
"But I saw that Mrs. Lu had a good appetite just now," Mr. Long said. He thought that since her appetite was good, it shouldn't be difficult for her to recuperate.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao sighed again with a sad expression. "For the sake of the child, I have to bite the bullet and endure even if I can't eat. Otherwise, I won't eat. I feel good for a while, but the child in my stomach can't do without nutrition."
Mr. Long wasn't a kind man to begin with. The reason he brought up Jiang Yao's health was to pave the way for the next topic. He didn't expect Jiang Yao's answer to be completely out of his expectations.
His expression obviously froze for a second. Then, he simply ignored Jiang Yao's health and said directly, "The patient is on the third floor. Since Mrs. Lu is already here, please go upstairs and check on the patient's condition."
Jiang Yao didn't refuse and agreed. She got up and followed Mr. Long upstairs with Lu Xingzhi.
The room on the third floor was twice as big as the one Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi stayed in. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Mr. Long and two other women who looked like nurses inside. When they walked in, the room was fully equipped with first-aid equipment. It was obvious that it was prepared for the person lying on the bed like a dead tree.
The person lying on the bed was Mr. Long's foster father, the original boss of the organization. He was about fifty years old and had been lying in bed for a long time due to his injury. He was so thin that he looked like a bag of bones.
"Foster father." When Mr. Long saw the person who came in, he first greeted the big boss and then greeted Jiang Yao. "Doctor Jiang, we meet again so soon."
