The pet care she studied is the real animal control major, right?

Incandescent lights shone on the hospital corridor. With only a few nurses walking back and forth, the corridor was quiet and deserted.

The clock on the wall showed the time when the hospital would be closed for visiting. The nurses explained the situation to the family members who were still staying in the ward and asked them to leave so as not to disturb the patients' rest.

Hester waved goodbye to his assistant, and the only sound left in the single room was the beeping of the equipment.

In just two months, Hester had become as thin as a bamboo pole. His cheeks were completely sunken, with no flesh left. His cheekbones were prominent, and his eyeballs seemed to be popping out of their sockets.

He looked up at the ceiling and breathed hard at the oxygen in his mask.

His poor lung function prevented him from transporting enough oxygen, and his breathing became rapid.

He knew that his end was approaching.

He raised his hand tremblingly and opened the terminal.

Yue Qingyu and Gu Chunxing were together on the terminal screen. They were holding hands and basking in the sun, with smiles on their faces and looking very happy.

Ever since he learned that Yue Qingyu had become the first successfully optimized body in history, hope began to burn again in his heart, which was about to hit rock bottom.

Yue Qingyu succeeded. She could maintain a clear mind and a healthy body. This was the future he longed for.

After Yue Qingyu returned, he immediately sent a message to Fei Qixia, saying that he urgently needed to participate in the optimization experiment to save himself who was gradually approaching death.

But Fei Qixia's reply to him was that he had to wait. He had to wait for Yue Qingyu to stabilize for a period of time and make sure that everything was fine before agreeing to admit him to the laboratory.

Heath could hardly wait any longer. In the past two days, the doctors had been urging him to eat something he liked, but after leaving the ward, they kept shaking their heads.

Of course he knew what this meant, and his gradually weakened body was urging him to join the experiment as soon as possible.

He couldn't help but take off his mask and cough. Brown-black blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth and fell into the bucket beside him that was specially used for him to spit blood.

Looking at the half bucket of blood, Hester smiled bitterly.

Can he wait until Fei Qixia agrees?

He rinsed his mouth to clean the remaining stains on his lips, then sat back on the bed, lost in thought.

Suddenly, a new message notification came from his terminal. He was surprised for only a second before he calmed down again.

Every time he thought it was a message from Fei Qixia and excitedly opened the terminal to see if there was any good news, reality always gave him a blow and interrupted all his thoughts.

This time will probably be no exception.

He slowly checked the page, only to find that a dialog box of an unfamiliar contact lit up.

His originally calm heart began to beat violently again, and the numbers on the monitor next to him also soared rapidly.

Before it reached its limit and was about to issue a shrill warning, Heath took a few deep breaths to calm himself.

At this critical moment, no one else can come in and disturb him.

After he took a few deep breaths, his heart rate gradually dropped.

Although the numbers on the monitor remain at a relatively high level, they will not exceed the warning line at least in the short term.

He opened the dialog box and read it carefully.

[The shipment can be forwarded next week. I'll give you a week to handle your affairs. Also, I'll need your permission to forward a box of stuff in two days. I can't let the courier center check it. Please hand it over to Yue Qingyu after receiving it. Please help me get more alien toxin bullets before you leave. The ones sent before have been used up.]

After reading the two short sentences, he exited the dialog box and immediately destroyed the information.

It's finally his turn!

He could live! He could even live as high a quality life as Yue Qingyu!

It's destined to be a sleepless night tonight.

During the week that Li Tong and Ping An arrived, Qin Jiu went back to the orphanage every day to buy food for Xiaosha, and applied to stay overnight in the school at other times.

With Edel's connections, it was not difficult to arrange a temporary dormitory for Li Tong and Ping An.

Living in Xinghuang all the time, Li Tong can naturally have more emotional exchanges with Bai Xue and Shan Dian.

During this period, Qin Jiu also took them to Yinyue Bay to visit Mingyue.

This time Qin Jiu learned her lesson and brought some spare clothes with her early. She was not afraid even if Mingyue got her whole body wet.

The poor wolf cub was almost swept into the sea.

And Bai Xue, who had always played best with her, had already escaped to ten meters away, laughing at her mercilessly.

Qin Jiu who witnessed the whole process: ...What a pair of fake sisters!

Not long after, they boarded the interstellar train back to Ciwang Star to prepare for the start of school, and Qin Jiu also returned to Xirang Orphanage to pack his luggage.

Dean Lu did not ask her about her activities over the past few days, but just stood at the door of the room and kept looking at her.

This feeling was unfamiliar to Qin Jiu. Dean Lu had never looked at her silently with such a complicated expression. Most of the time, Dean Lu would only monitor her in a dark corner.

Qin Jiu put down the luggage in his hand, stood up and looked at Dean Lu.

"Is there a problem?"

Dean Lu struggled internally for a moment, but finally took out a letter hidden behind him.

"This is for you. It was left by Rockoff before he left."

Qin Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not immediately step forward to take it, but asked: "What does it say?"

Dean Lu shook his head and said, "I don't know. I haven't seen it."

Now it was Qin Jiu's turn to be a little surprised. According to Dean Lu's style of doing things, she must have read the contents of the letter in advance, but now she was told that she had not.

It seems that before Rockoff left, he had instructed that only he could read the letter. Dean Lu's feelings for Rockoff were not simple, and she would only obey Rockoff's instructions.

It was like the chains to tame a disorderly madman were always in Rockov's hands.

To put it simply...

Dean Lu may like Rockefeller and suffer from a serious love-brain problem.

Qin Jiu's expression was somewhat complicated.

Is she just a little bit away from becoming Dean Lu’s daughter?

She let out a light breath, went up to take the letter from Dean Lu, and placed it casually on the table.

Dean Lu asked curiously, "Don't you want to watch it?"

Qin Jiu didn't even turn his head and continued to organize his clothes: "Don't look at it now."

Dean Lu said "Oh" in disappointment, did not stay any longer, closed the door for Qin Jiu and left.

Qin Jiu slowed down her movements and heard Dean Lu's footsteps gradually fading away. She then put down her clothes, stood up, and picked up the slightly yellowed envelope.

The letter looks quite old, but the person who kept it obviously took great care to keep it, and there is not a single stain on it.

Qin Jiu slowly tore the edge of the envelope and took out a piece of letter paper with vigorous pen handwriting on it.

Qin Jiu looked at the first row, as if he was having a cross-era conversation with Rockoff from twenty years ago.

【I am glad to receive your letter. My daughter Qin Jiu.】
