It was so weak that it was barely audible . However, at least it was still beating . His heart held on despite the reality that it really shouldn't have . Xinghe was thankful for that .
Xinghe bent down to take a close look at Mubai . She opened her lips to say, "Xi Mubai, if you can hear, please promise me that you'll hang on and not surrender . This is my only request of you, I ask that you hold on . No matter how hard it might be, please do not give up . I will not give up on you and so I ask that you do the same for me . Let's survive this together, okay?"
Xinghe's only reply was the beeping from the electrocardiogram . That was as good a promise as any for Xinghe . His heart was still beating so she knew he would hold on . She knew he was the most determined person in the whole world so someone like him wouldn't die so easily .
Xinghe held Mubai hands in her palms and she hoped that would transfer some energy to him . Xinghe stayed that way for half an hour before leaving .
When she let go of his hands, Mubai's palm was warmed and had lost its earlier chilliness . In fact, when Xinghe turned to leave, she seemed to hear a faster frequency in the electrocardiograph's beeping . Xinghe instantly whipped her head around to stare at that lifeline, however there was no discernible change .
AdvertisementNonetheless, Xinghe was sure that there had been a change .
"Lu Qi—" Xinghe yelled for Lu Qi to come give Mubai a body check . Lu Qi gave a thorough check but found nothing .
"The frequency is probably too small for me to pick up . Regardless, this is a good development . " Out of courtesy and perhaps kindness, Lu Qi went along with her .
Xinghe stared at Mubai and said, "I will come and visit him every day . "
"That might not be a bad idea . "
"Send me your research information later in the day, I will start working on the mechanical heart as soon as possible . "
Lu Qi hesitated . "But haven't you had a lot on your plate lately? Can you handle this?"
"I'll be fine, this is nothing," Xinghe answered with confidence . She was telling the truth, her mind was always in peak condition, perhaps because her brain was different from everyone else's . Her brain function was exceptionally vibrant . Others would probably be tired from brain exhaustion, but she wouldn't . As long as it was not physical labor, she wouldn't feel tired .
After Xinghe left Lu Qi's building, she returned to the Xi family's old mansion . The Xi family had received news about the things that happened at the jewelry showcase .
"What do you plan to do next?" Grandfather Xi asked Xinghe . Everyone turned to look at her, waiting for her answer .
Xinghe replied softly, "The original plan was to turn the aggression towards the Lin family after swallowing Bao Hwa, but that will have to wait for now . "
"Why?" Mrs . Xi asked .
Xinghe looked at them and explained calmly, "Because Mubai's health is more important . "
The Xi family was shocked .
"Xinghe, what do you mean by that?" Mrs . Xi started to get anxious .
