We are from the future ark

"I will save you...I will."

"So, please... don't leave like this."

I still have...many, many things I haven't said to you.

Please, hold on...

Chapter 73: Chen Qi falls ill, and everyone is worried

The pains... I couldn't feel anything except the pains in my brain.

There were also hallucinations... fragments of memory... It was as if extremely short videos kept flashing in front of him, and before Chen Qi could finish watching them, they quickly flashed to the next one.

It was fine at first, but as time went on, these memory fragments flashed by faster and faster, so fast that Chen Qi had no time to see it all clearly, and was left with only a head full of pain.

These scenes...are not all his memories. Most of them are what Chen Qi remembers and has seen.

"Texas...are you still alive?"

"You have already become a monster."

"Hahahahaha! I am the Flame Demon!"

“…I’m sorry, Ghost Shark.”

——The memories, scene after scene, were replayed in his mind, like an endless loop of chaotic and confusing noises, constantly echoing in his ears.

These were not his memories, but now they were constantly tormenting his brain.

——But he couldn't get rid of these memories at all.

He could only endure it silently. This was not the first time he had encountered such a situation, so Chen Qi did not have any inner feelings.

Waiting, letting these things echo in my ears, emptying my mind, not thinking about anything...

Waiting... for my consciousness in reality to gradually recover, so that I can break free from these tortures.

Just...wait...

Even, just falling asleep like this...maybe it's not bad.

Even such a self-destructive thought appeared in his mind, but Chen Qi himself didn't know that he couldn't fall asleep like this. His body and mental strength would not let him die like this, and even his obsession would not allow him to fall asleep like this.

He still has a lot of things to do... and many, many things that he is still worried about.

Just falling asleep like this... He was unwilling and worried.

At least...after he has done everything and arranged everything...he can then think about death.

……

“——Wu?”

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, accompanied by a slight cry, Chen Qi finally woke up slowly from the seemingly endless torture.

He didn't know how long it had been, he just felt that everything in front of him was so hazy, as if his pupils had become nearsighted, and a thick layer of fog blocked his vision.

The lingering sound is still in my ears, and I can't get rid of it, but it is much better than the initial feeling.

"Chen Qi?!"

However, just when he regained some consciousness, a voice with a hint of crying suddenly exploded in his ears, which immediately attracted Chen Qi's attention.

It sounded familiar... Even if he couldn't see it clearly, Chen Qi could still recognize it.

"...Ifrit, so noisy."

"Okay, okay, I won't argue anymore..."

Ifrit tightly grasped Chen Qi's slightly rough hand, his pupils red and swollen as he looked at Chen Qi, whose body was full of infusion tubes and sensor tubes, with undisguised heartache.

But unfortunately, Chen Qi can’t see clearly now.

"This... should be Rhodes Island, right?"

"How...how long have I slept?"

"It's been two whole days." Ifrit held Chen Qi's hand and said slowly, "We were all so worried. We thought you wouldn't wake up."

"… You won't die, don't worry."

Chen Qi said this, but he still had no strength in his body, so he gave up trying to get up.

He is in a very bad condition now, and he will probably survive in this state for the next few days.

He didn't feel thirsty or hungry, as there was nutrient solution all around him, providing the energy needed to maintain the basic functioning of Chen Qi's body. Moreover, with Chen Qi's current physical strength, it was even a question whether he could open his mouth to eat.

I guess I can only eat dirty food these days.

"Chen Qi?!"

Suddenly, the door of the room was opened again, and a swarm of people rushed in, and then came to Chen Qi's side very quickly and quietly.

"Chen Qi, are you okay?!" He sounded quite worried, and even his fear could not be concealed... Is it Lappland?

"Chen Qi..." The other hand was suddenly gently grasped, with a slightly worried tone... Was it Skadi?

"...I'm glad you're okay." This voice...is it Sister Jessica?

"You all...are here."

Although the scene in front of him was still blurry, Chen Qi still recognized them one by one. However, at this moment, he didn't even have the strength to force a smile.

"——He hasn't fully recovered yet. You guys, don't disturb him for now."

At this moment, a cold voice came slowly. Unknowingly, behind everyone, Kal'tsit had appeared at the door of the ward.

Beside her, there were two figures, one red and one white. Froststar and Red both followed behind Kal'tsit with worried looks on their faces.

"Go out first. I have something to tell him." Kal'tsit said calmly to the group, "You can take turns to take care of him during this period. There's no need to worry too much."

"Froststar, take them away first. Hong, you guard the door."

Kal'tsit's faint voice slowly fell. After looking at each other, the girls chose to leave the ward even though they were still worried.

The originally crowded ward suddenly became much quieter. As the door of the ward slowly closed, Kal'tsit's expression finally relaxed, and she said coldly to Chen Qi:

"From today on, you are strictly prohibited from participating in any scientific research or the preparation of medical drugs."

"Don't try to refute me. This is an order. I have no intention of negotiating with you."

Kal'tsit's attitude became tougher than ever before. She usually treated Chen Qi gently, but this time, she was extremely unreasonable.

After witnessing Chen Qi's coma this time, Kal'tsit figured out a lot of things - this child must be kept under close watch.

In the past, she thought that this child was calm and would not do anything reckless, so she let him go after trying to control him became useless. However, what happened that day made Kal'tsit completely change his mind.

——This child is an idealist who is willing to burn himself out for others. He doesn’t even realize it. This is the most terrifying thing.

A person who thinks he is not a pushover, but is actually a pushover to the point where he is almost hopeless. Kal'tsit has never seen anyone with such an awkward personality.

If we don't keep an eye on this child, he might really die one day.

This kind of thing...is absolutely not allowed.

"From today on, your task is to recover from your injuries. I will send people to do the scientific research and medical work."

"——Rhodes Island has not yet fallen to the point where it needs a child to burn his life to survive."

"As long as I am still here, Rhodes Island will not need you to do this."

As Kal'tsit said this, she gradually found that she could no longer maintain such a stern tone, and finally chose to give up helplessly.

At this moment, the outside of the ward became turbulent again.

Next to the large transparent glass on one side of the ward, an agile figure flashed by, and soon Chen Qi and Kal'tsit were seen at the other end of the ward.

"Chen Qi?!"

An anxious voice suddenly rang out, and the next moment, accompanied by the sound of something flashing outside the ward, a heroic female police superintendent came into the ward.

"Chen Qi, are you awake? I heard from Tallulah that you were injured? Are you okay?"

"...The condition has been brought under control." Kal'tsit frowned slightly and looked at Chen in front of her, and replied calmly:

"Officer Chen, please remain quiet. Chen Qi needs to rest now."

"--I know."

However, Chen's attitude towards Kal'tsit seemed a bit cold. After replying faintly, he looked at Chen Qi, who was now covered with infusion tubes and detector tubes, and there was an undisguised heartache in his eyes.

To be honest, when Tallulah came to Longmen and told Chen about this, Chen's mind went blank and he dropped all his affairs and rushed here.

Before Ifrit, it was Aunt Tallulah who had always taken care of Chen Qi. It was not until Ifrit came to take over the shift that Tallulah had time to inform Chen about this matter.

However...Chen Qi's injuries now made it difficult for Chen to calm down.

"…Doctor Kelsey, do you suggest we talk together?"

Chen exhaled slowly, and then spoke to Kal'tsit calmly:

"There are some things I want to talk to you alone."

"...please."

Kal'tsit frowned slightly and then replied calmly, but the trace of sadness between her brows did not dissipate for a long time.

Chapter 74: Chen and Kal'tsit's Communication, Chen's Decision

Chen Qi was temporarily handed over to Hong's care. After Kal'tsit gave some special instructions, she looked at Hong nodding frequently and was a little worried about how much the child had listened.

However, considering the already excellent relationship between Hong and Chen Qi, Kal'tsit had nothing to worry about.

After explaining everything, Kal'tsit took Chen to a relatively private place - her own office.

After setting a do not disturb command at the sensor door and making sure that no one would come to disturb her, Kal'tsit turned to Chen and said:

"Officer Chen, if you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me."

"——Don't think that I don't know anything, because Xiaoqi, I have remembered a lot of things."

Chen never beats around the bush when he speaks. His straightforward speaking style makes Kal'tsit hope that Chen Qi can learn a little from him and say less annoying words in the future.

However, Chen's straightforwardness also has other problems, such as words that go straight to people's hearts.

"I know you are Xiaoqi's biological mother."

"You and that doctor are Xiaoqi's biological parents in the true sense. I know this very well."

"...You know everything?"

Kal'tsit was slightly startled by Chen's words. After a long time, she recovered and said calmly:

"Although I have no memory of the future, I do not deny this."

"During this time, I have always treated him as my own child. As for the doctor...even though he doesn't know yet, he should have guessed something."

"'Treat him as your own child'——?"

However, when Kal'tsit said this, Chen's brows slightly frowned, and his tone was full of undisguised doubt.

This made Kal'tsit frown slightly, and asked coldly: "Are you questioning me?"

"That's right." Chen did not hide his emotions at all. The two girls were of similar height and were equally impressive.

Chen and Kal'tsit both hold very high status in society. One is the only two senior police superintendents in Lungmen, and the other is the real top executive of a pharmaceutical company. Both are very strong women in normal times, and in this confrontation, neither of them is willing to give in.

"Excuse me, Dr. Kal'tsit, I don't see the responsibility you should fulfill as a biological mother." Chen's indifferent voice revealed her truest thoughts at the moment:

"I only saw a senior executive of a pharmaceutical company exploiting my child. The amount of work he was doing could overwhelm two or three people, and now he fell ill right in front of me."

"——He is no longer your child, Officer Chen." Kal'tsit finally lowered her expression and replied coldly: "Just before Chernobyl, you announced that you had severed your adoptive mother-son relationship with him."

"So what?" Chen smiled coldly, and said without showing any weakness: "Xiao Qi still regards me as his mother. Lao Wei once told me that he called me 'Mom' in front of Lao Wei."

"Besides, if it's for Chen Qi, what does it matter if I break my promise?"

"My reputation is nothing compared to my child."

"..." Kal'tsit did not respond after hearing this, but her tightly clenched fists revealed her feelings at the moment.

She didn't want to show weakness, but she couldn't refute a single word Chen said at the moment.

Almost a year has passed since Chen Qi came to Rhodes Island, but... has she done anything to Chen Qi?
