Chapter 561: The Truth of the Past

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Knowing each other’s identities, Song Fan became calm. Since he could find her, he surely knew Gu Chen’s condition was bad. He must have come to China for Gu Chen.

Song Fan stared at him without speaking. Old Mr. Brown didn’t get angry but chuckled softly, “Shall I invite you to dinner, Miss Song? Let’s have a chat.”

Song Fan nodded cautiously, following him. She wanted to see what the Brown family’s leader was up to.

Old Mr. Brown took her directly to the top floor of a five-star restaurant.

“Have a seat. I’ve reserved this entire floor, so no one will disturb us during our meal.”

He was very generous and gentlemanly handed the menu to Song Fan. “See if there’s anything you like. I can’t quite grasp young girls’ preferences.”

Song Fan pushed the menu aside. “Mr. Brown, why don’t you get straight to the point? I don’t like beating around the bush.”

She knew well that he must have a significant reason for coming to China and personally showing up, likely related to Gu Chen.

Old Mr. Brown smiled, shook his head, and clapped his hands. Someone immediately brought over a large box and placed it respectfully beside them.

Old Mr. Brown gently opened the box. Seeing the fresh snow lotus, Song Fan became excited but maintained her composure, not revealing her emotions.

“Miss Song, I know Gu Chen’s condition is very poor, so I brought the snow lotus for you.” Old Mr. Brown closed the box and pushed it toward Song Fan. “It’s yours now. I hope you can cure Gu Chen. I know only you can save him.”

Before coming, Old Mr. Brown had already investigated. Song Fan was indeed a formidable figure. With her around, Gu Chen had a chance to survive. If Gu Chen lived, he would be safe too.

He gazed at Song Fan intently, but she didn’t move, staring back at him. “Mr. Brown, what do you want me to do?”

She didn’t believe this old man was acting out of kindness. She sensed something was wrong with his condition, especially with the involuntary twitching of his forehead. She suspected he might really be ill.

“Miss Song, you’re indeed calm, as expected of the woman Gu Chen fancies. Can’t I just want to save my family out of kindness?”

He pushed the box closer. “You should know that snow lotus is hard to find. This might be the last few we have.”

Song Fan stared at the box, feeling hesitant. The snow lotus she had wasn’t enough. She and Wu Yong still needed to conduct experiments. These snow lotuses from Old Mr. Brown were indeed timely, but they were also risky.

Old Mr. Brown raised an eyebrow, smiling warmly. “I do have a reason. Gu Chen and I share the same poison, and I’ve been suffering for over twenty years.”

He pursed his lips slightly, seeming lost in memories.

“I’m Gu Chen’s uncle, his mother’s brother. We both studied medicine and participated in a support project in Africa. Unfortunately, we were injected with a virus.”

It was the first time Song Fan heard this, leaving her momentarily stunned. She had never thought it would be like this. Old Mr. Brown and Gu Chen’s mother, along with many volunteers, were captured. She only knew that Gu Chen’s mother had died early, but since he never talked about it, she never brought it up either.

Old Mr. Brown’s story occurred before Gu Chen was born. Drug dealers were conducting experiments, and they became test subjects. Among them, only Old Mr. Brown and Gu Chen’s mother survived.

“Later, we were rescued. I stayed abroad for treatment. She was already pregnant then and chose to return home.”

“So Gu Chen was poisoned from birth?” Song Fan asked quickly. She knew Gu Chen was deeply poisoned, but later, someone poisoned him again. She didn’t fully believe Old Mr. Brown’s words.

The man continued his story, whether she believed it or not. “Yes, only Gu Chen’s mother developed antibodies and survived. The child also survived but was weak.”

“However, she was too weak during childbirth, and the poison eventually took her life. But Gu Chen’s life is resilient.”

He looked at Song Fan meaningfully. “He has antibodies and you, and now he has the snow lotus.”

“If you can keep him alive, you might save more people. I know you have a healer’s heart and won’t refuse.”
