As Jian Yiling had no intentions to eavesdrop, she walked straight through the door.

When Zhang Xin saw JianYiling, he immediately stopped his conversation with Qin Chuan. He turned his head to mock Jian Yiling: "Dr. Jian, it seems like you're quite diligent with your visits. Are you confident about the progress you're making?"

By provoking Jian Yiling, Zhang Xin hoped to hear some update on her research progress.

However, Jian Yiling was not affected by his words.

She walked over to Qin Chuan's bed without any expression on her face. Then, she did the usual checks and monitored if there were any changes in his body.

At this stage, she and Zhang Xin could only give Qin Chuan some relatively basic drugs to delay the deterioration of his condition.

However, the effect of these drugs was very limited.

Despite her lack of response, Zhang Xin continued to speak to Jian Yiling: "Dr. Jian, if you're not making any progress in your research, you can choose to concede defeat. As long as you concede defeat and leave Mr. Qin to be my patient, I can ensure that he will live a few more years."

"I will not concede defeat. Furthermore, if you have a way to make him better, you should help him. As a doctor, you shouldn't use his health as a bargaining chip."

Upon hearing this response, Zhang Xin laughed: "Dr. Jian, you're really good with your words. All you're doing right now is reducing the embarrassment you'll be facing when you lose."

Qin Chuan warned Zhang Xin: "Mr. Zhang, please watch your words. I have no problem if you want to compete against Dr. Jian peacefully. However, I won't let you speak ill of her."

Zhang Xin laughed: "Qin Chuan, do you still think you're the respected Head of the Qin family? Initially, I only befriended you because I saw that you were somewhat capable. However, your only use right now is to be our research subject."

Previously, Zhang Xin intended to maintain a superficial friendship with Qin Chuan. However, since Qin Chuan dared to speak out against him, there was no need to act friendly with him.

"Zhang Xin, I'm not dead yet."

"Well, you're close enough to being dead. Who doesn't know that you've been screwed over by Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng?"

Jian Yiling replied, "A Sheng and I didn't completely ruin him. We only ruined his company."

In many aspects, Qin Chuan caused his own ruin and demise.

Furthermore, he most likely knew what kind of consequences he would face when he did those things.

When Qin Chuan realized Jian Yiling somewhat understood him, he smiled softly. Then he said to Zhang Xin: "Zhang Xin, if you're capable of winning against her fair and square, go ahead and do so. However, don't you dare play any dirty tricks. As long as I live, I will always choose to protect her."

Qin Chuan's words were not only for Zhang Xin's ears, but he was also making a promise to Jian Yiling.

As her friend, he would protect her to repay the debt he owed her.

Jian Yiling paused when she heard this. After a moment, she said to Qin Chuan: "I will do everything I can to extend your life."

"I believe in you."

Qin Chuan believed in Jian Yiling with all his heart and soul.

He believed that she could find a way to make him better.

Zhang Xin sneered and said: "Well, we will see when the time comes! I wonder if you'll still have such confidence in your abilities!"

After finishing her examination of Qin Chuan, Jian Yiling also left.

When she left Qin Chuan's ward, she saw that Zhai Yunsheng had also come over at some point.

It seemed like he was waiting for her.

When Jian Yiling and Zhai Yunsheng looked at each other, they didn't say anything to one another.

Instead, Zhai Yunsheng slowly lowered his head and dropped a kiss on her forehead.

Then, he took her hand and walked away.

As they were husband and wife, they didn't need to explain many things to one another. Between them, there was unconditional trust.
