I'll do everything I can to protect you.
Almost at the same time, Adam sealed off the 'Queen's Blood-Sucking Incident' and ordered that no one was to reveal this matter. The maid who was bitten was sent for treatment. Although the others didn't show it on the surface, they couldn't help but tremble when they entered Qiao Qiao's room.
While Qiao Qiao was unconscious, Adam immediately summoned the royal family's exclusive doctors to examine her body. During this process, Adam stayed by her side.
Qiao Qiao was no different from usual when she was asleep, but no one could predict whether she would turn into a blood-sucking monster the moment she opened her eyes.
Qiao Qiao slowly woke up when it was almost noon.
Adam, who had been by her side the whole time, was beside her. "Adam …"
She muttered softly. Adam, who was lost in his own thoughts, immediately came back to his senses. He saw that Qiao Qiao was still the person he knew and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He asked with concern, "Lilith, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Qiao Qiao propped herself up and held her head. She asked with some difficulty, "Did I bite someone yesterday?"
Adam's body trembled.
Seeing his reaction, Qiao Qiao understood that it wasn't a dream. She really did bite someone last night.
"I've turned into a monster?"
She lowered her head and tightly gripped the corner of the blanket. Her voice sounded like she was about to cry.
Adam hurriedly denied it. He sat by Qiao Qiao's bed and patiently comforted her. "Lilith, don't be sad. You're just sick. The doctor will bring out the test results soon. When the time comes, we'll think of a solution together, okay?"
Qiao Qiao's teeth bit her lower lip so hard that it almost bled. She nodded gloomily, knowing that she couldn't panic now.
Soon, the doctor's test results were out.
"Your Majesty, we have the results of the investigation. You should be suffering from blood thirst. When the illness acts up, you will have a strong dependence on blood."
"Blood thirst?" Qiao Qiao was stunned.
How did she suddenly suffer from such a strange illness?
Adam couldn't help but frown. He asked, "Is this illness hereditary or acquired?"
The doctor pondered for a moment and then said, "As far as I know, this illness has never appeared in the royal family. It should be acquired."
"Is it a problem with the diet or other factors?"
Adam continued to ask.
"… We still need to observe further. This case is also the first in Country J. I need to discuss the treatment strategy with my colleagues." The case was too rare, and there were not many treatment plans that could be presented. The doctor also felt that it was tricky.
Adam had more or less expected the doctor to say this, so he didn't force him. He only ordered, "Come up with a solution as soon as possible. Also, this matter must be kept confidential."
"Yes."
After the doctor left.
Adam walked to Qiao Qiao's side and comforted her. "Lilith, don't worry. This is just a rare illness. You're not a monster. Don't feel burdened."
"Okay." Qiao Qiao tried to think positively. Her eyes were slightly red and her voice was a little hoarse. "Adam, don't tell Shaochen about this for now …"
Qiao Qiao's thoughts were simple. He Shaochen seemed to be very busy recently. He didn't even have time to call. If she caused trouble for him, he wouldn't have time to rest. So it was better not to disturb him.
He Shaochen's name was undoubtedly a minefield for Adam.
Thinking about their conversation yesterday, he felt a little stifled.
He didn't object to Qiao Qiao's suggestion. He nodded. "Okay, I promise you."
His attitude was the same as usual. This undoubtedly comforted Qiao Qiao greatly. She lowered her head again and muttered in a low voice, "Thank you, Adam. Thank you so much."
If he hadn't been by her side all this time, she might have broken down.
The maid walked in with hot porridge. Adam said to Qiao Qiao, "Lilith, you must be hungry after sleeping for so long. Eat something before you continue sleeping."
"Okay."
Qiao Qiao responded. She was actually a little hungry.
The oatmeal with coconut milk was served. Qiao Qiao usually loved to eat it. Smelling the sweet fragrance, it was obviously very appetizing. But today, when the porridge was placed in front of her, Qiao Qiao was a little disinterested. She felt that it was difficult to swallow. She tried to force it down, but it felt like she had eaten a piece of fishy fish. She immediately spat it out.
"Lilith?"
Adam hurriedly took the bowl away and gently stroked her back. "If you can't eat it, don't force yourself to swallow it."
Qiao Qiao nodded gloomily. She couldn't help but suppress her throat. Her eyes were mixed with fear as she said, "Adam, I'm thirsty …"
As if stimulated by the food just now, her body gradually surged with that sense of hunger. She knew that if she didn't control it, the tragedy last night would happen again.
Adam lowered his eyes for a moment. He went out and ordered his subordinates. "Go to the blood bank and get blood bags."
"Yes."
When he entered the room, Qiao Qiao was already curled up on the bed and couldn't stop convulsing.
"Hot … It's uncomfortable." Qiao Qiao curled up her body. Her hands tightly grasped her shoulders. Her body felt like it was on fire. She felt as if countless ants were crawling all over her body. It was very torturous. She desperately suppressed the beast in her heart. She didn't want to hurt anyone else.
Qiao Qiao didn't understand why she had become like this, but she hated it. She hated it to the core!
When Adam saw Qiao Qiao desperately trying to suppress it, he felt as if his heart had been ruthlessly stabbed.
There was still some time before the blood bags were brought over. However, Qiao Qiao couldn't hold on any longer.
He didn't know what the side effects of thirst would be. He also didn't know if Qiao Qiao's body would be affected if she didn't drink blood. However, he couldn't risk her life.
Adam didn't hesitate. He directly picked up the fruit knife on the table. Without blinking, he directly cut his arm. Blood gushed out. The bright red color splashed in the air and reflected in Qiao Qiao's amber eyes. It was as if it was going to dye her eyes red.
He walked over and pointed his arm at Qiao Qiao. "Lilith, drink it."
"What are you doing? I don't want to! "Qiao Qiao shook her head.
She didn't want to become a blood-sucking monster. She didn't want to drink human blood!
"Listen to me. You won't feel uncomfortable anymore after drinking the blood." Adam supported Qiao Qiao and guided her patiently. His voice had an irresistible charm.
Qiao Qiao struggled hard and refused to touch his hand. She desperately shook her head and said, "No, I won't drink it. Adam, don't force me!"
Adam's dark red eyes darkened. He slightly released Qiao Qiao, giving her a chance to breathe. Qiao Qiao saw Adam sucking on his wound. Then he looked at her. A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his lips. His lips were incomparably gorgeous. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he looked like a vampire in the dark.
Qiao Qiao's heart sank. She immediately realized what he wanted to do.
She even forgot about the discomfort in her body and wanted to retreat. However, Adam grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of him. Qiao Qiao's entire body was brought over.
Their lips touched.
A sweet taste filled her mouth with a faint taste of rust. The burning sensation in her body was instantly relieved.
She wanted to push him away, but Adam's strength was astonishing. He did not allow her to resist at all. He held the back of her head, not allowing her to escape.
Blood.
Bit by bit, it seeped into her mouth.
She couldn't even swallow it in time and it fell from the corner of her mouth. It went down her smooth chin and slid down her slender and fragile neck.
Her heart was clearly very resistant, but Qiao Qiao couldn't help but desire blood.
She hoped for more, a bit more.
The maids on the side saw this scene and shyly lowered their heads. However, they couldn't help secretly glancing at this fanciful scene.
After that, Qiao Qiao directly slapped Adam's face and angrily said, "Who told you to act on your own?"
Adam's face was slapped to the side. His white face instantly turned red.
He had already expected this result and was not surprised. His voice was still gentle as he asked with concern, "Lilith, are you better now?"
She was better, of course she was better.
After drinking human blood, the burning sensation disappeared. However, this was not what she wanted.
She didn't want to admit her desire for blood.
"Go away! I don't want to see you! "Qiao Qiao held her head and angrily roared as if she was about to collapse.
Tears trickled down her cheeks.
Adam calmly sat beside her and comforted her, "I won't go. You are emotionally unstable right now and easily do stupid things. I won't leave your side."
In principle, Adam would grant Qiao Qiao any request. However, above this principle, he had to protect her. Now that she had this strange illness, if it was not handled well, it would be a fatal public relations crisis. He had to stay by her side.
"What does it have to do with you whether I do stupid things or not! Go away! "
Qiao Qiao lost control of her emotions and spoke without thinking.
However, Adam tolerated her unreasonable behavior. He held her hand and did not let her move. It was as if he was taking care of an unreasonable child. He was surprisingly patient and stubborn. "I will definitely take care of your matters. No matter what your attitude towards me is, this will not change. I will not watch you hurt yourself."
"You are … really … annoying!"
Qiao Qiao did not know what to say.
Adam nodded. "Yeah, even I feel that I'm annoying."
As he agreed, he patted Qiao Qiao's back and comforted her.
Qiao Qiao's impatience was slowly controlled. Her eyes were red. She leaned on Adam's shoulder and cried. "Adam, I'm so scared. If my thirst is not cured, will I become a monster?"
Adam patted her back and said in a calm voice, "I don't know if I can cure you with the current medical technology, but I can guarantee that no matter what you become, I won't leave you, and I won't despise you."
"Are you stupid? I can suck blood! "
Qiao Qiao cried and cursed.
"Then I'll be your mobile blood bank. You can bite me whenever you want."
"Are you stupid? What if I bite you to death? "
Adam helped Qiaoqiao up and wiped away her tears. With a smile on his lips, he said disapprovingly, "I'm actually still very strong. I won't die just from being bitten by your row of little white teeth. Even if I do die, I don't care. I feel that dying for Lilith is pretty good."
Qiao Qiao was amused by Adam's words.
"Adam, you're really a fool!"
What a fool!
A hopeless fool!
Even though he was such a fool, Qiao Qiao was extremely touched. She sniffled and said, "Adam, I owe you too much. What if I can't repay you?"
"Then I'll keep owing you. Isn't there a saying that too much debt is not a burden?" Adam smiled. "Didn't I say that my life is yours? You can use it however you want. "
"Why are you so good to me?"
Qiao Qiao couldn't imagine that a person could do this for another person unconditionally.
Could there really be such a selfless person?
Adam was stunned.
As he looked at Qiao Qiao, scenes from the past flashed through his mind.
If it weren't for Luo Vino, he wouldn't have been able to survive in this world. If it weren't for Qiao Qiao, he wouldn't have been able to find a reason to live. The kindness that their family had given him was enough to be repaid with his life.
