Chapter 2585: Only Adding Fuel, Not Putting Out the Fire
Zhou Si gradually woke up from the chaos. He slowly lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms.
I saw that Marcy's face was flushed and she was still wearing pajamas.
The struggle just now caused her shoulder strap to slip off accidentally, revealing a section of her fair and delicate shoulders.
This alluring look made Zhou Si's Adam's apple roll slightly unconsciously, and his heart beat faster.
He suddenly felt an unbearable heat for a moment, and his body's reaction became more obvious.
Marcy noticed his strangeness and her face turned even redder.
She hurriedly pushed him and said, "Calm down first and go with me to see Sister Tuya! She's sick and I'm afraid something might happen to her."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Si took a deep breath helplessly.
This girl only adds fuel to the fire instead of putting it out.
But, at least give her a kiss to comfort her!
But seeing her worried look, he couldn't bear to argue with her.
Therefore, I could only try hard to control my inner impulse and nodded in agreement.
The two of them quickly got up, washed up simply, and hurried to Tuya's residence.
When I entered the room, Shi Yi was already busy helping Tuya reduce her fever.
After all, he came from a tribe, so he knew a little about some simple treatment methods.
But I was worried, so I asked someone to make this trip.
Marcy is a professional doctor and knows how to take care of people.
Seeing Tuya drunk, Ma Xi asked suspiciously, "Why are you so drunk?"
Shi Yi briefly explained it and gave the recorder to Ma Xi.
Ma Xi also finished listening to the recording and was furious. "This guy is so shameless! He's still thinking about taking advantage of Sister Tuya. I won't let him succeed."
Seeing that she was very emotional, Zhou Si quickly patted her shoulder to comfort her.
After Ma Xi calmed down, she couldn't help but ask: "But, is this thing about Sister Tuya's mother true?"
Shi Yi pondered for a moment and replied, "It's almost certain. It was Ah Si who reminded me that I started investigating this aspect.
I just received some news and found that there were indeed many strange things about Tuya's mother's death.
After she became seriously ill, she was treated by a private doctor hired by the couple and was never sent to a regular hospital.
What is even more strange is that after her death, the couple simply issued an announcement to the public and hurriedly held a funeral.
The cause of death announced to the public was excessive grief and serious illness.
But according to our investigation, before this, Tuya's mother had been in good health and had no signs of illness at all.
There are so many suspicious points here that it's hard not to suspect someone else was the cause of the incident."
Upon hearing this, Marcy narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, she said, "To make someone decline so quickly, in addition to suffering a severe mental blow, they must have also suffered some unknown physical harm.
If you think about this situation carefully, there are only two possibilities. Either it is secretly controlled through drugs.
Or, they directly resort to violence and inflict physical harm.
Find the family doctor who was responsible for taking care of Tuya's mother. Maybe he can find some clues."
Shi Yi and the others had already thought of this. He said in a deep voice, "We've already sent someone to check. The family doctor seemed to have disappeared a few years ago and there has been no news of him.
I guess he was sent away or dealt with.
We are still investigating this matter.
If we can find him, maybe we can figure out what happened.”
Zhou Si took over the conversation and said, "I've also sent people to look for him, and I think there will be results soon."
After deciding this, the three of them guarded Tuya.
This high fever, like an invisible battle, lasted the entire night and only subsided after dawn.
Tuya slowly opened her eyes and gradually regained consciousness.
She knew she had lost control last night, and a surge of apology welled up in her heart. She said to Marcy, "I'm sorry for causing trouble for you. You still have to take care of me in the middle of the night."
Seeing her wake up, Ma Xi gently comforted her, “It’s all a small matter, don’t take it to heart, Sister Tuya.
But you, don't ruin your body before taking revenge.
The most important thing for you now is to rest well and recover your strength."
After hearing this, Tuya nodded solemnly and assured, "Don't worry, there won't be a next time."
Seeing that Tuya finally figured it out, the big stone in Ma Xi's heart finally fell to the ground and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she left with peace of mind and went to school.
Under Zhou Si's careful care, after a few days of rest, the wound on Ma Xi's hand gradually healed and formed a scab.
Originally, Zhou Si wanted her to rest for two days.
But Marcy insisted, and seeing that her hand was not seriously injured, he relented.
Marcy was finally able to return to the research institute.
After coordination between Zhou Si and the professor, Marcy's workload was finally reduced to normal.
As soon as Marcy arrived at the laboratory, senior Yas saw her and called her to his office alone.
He apologized for what happened before, saying, "I was inconsiderate before, and I hope my junior sister won't take it to heart.
As for the fainting that night, I am also largely responsible for causing you to have such misunderstandings.
However, I have clarified everything these days and I believe it will not cause you any trouble anymore."
Marcy acted very calm, she responded with a smile: "It's okay, senior, it was just an accident.
Besides, I don’t care what others think of me. I’ve been slandered so many times in the past that I’m used to it.
I can't control other people's views and comments, nor do I want to care too much about them.
As long as the people I care about don’t mind, that’s enough.”
Although Marcy acted so open-minded, Senior Yas still felt bad.
In order to express his apology, he finally selected two precious medicinal potted plants and gave them to Marcy as a gift of apology.
I hope this will make up for my previous mistakes.
Marcy didn't want to accept it, so she declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but I won't accept it."
Senior Ya Si was helpless, "If you don't accept it, then you can't forgive me."
When Marcy saw what Senior Yas did, she felt helpless and speechless.
Why can't I get over this?
I don't care about it, so why should he care?
Isn’t what I said unclear enough?
So, Marcy said it again in a more serious and clear tone, "Senior, it's really just a small matter, there's no need to be like this.
I didn’t take it to heart, and I hope you guys will too. Let it go!"
After saying that, she walked out.
But later, when Marcy finished her work, she saw the two potted plants that she had originally refused to accept placed on her desk.
There was a sticky note on the potted plants that read, "Since you insist on not taking them, let's just treat them as potted plants in our lab!"
Seeing this, Marcy didn't say anything else.
