Ye Shikai didn't want to deceive Ji Qian. The situation didn't seem as optimistic as he had expected, but he couldn't stress Ji Qian's mental state any further right now. Ji Tao's condition was very bad; even if Wuyan took a charter flight to Yanjing, the earliest she could arrive would be at night. Moreover, even if Wuyan came, she might not be able to remove the worms inside Ji Tao. But Ye Shikai could only console himself, hoping Wuyan's arrival could turn the situation around.
"Alright, you rest for a bit longer, I'll call you later." Ye Shikai said blandly. Ji Qian had no mind to rest, getting off the bed.
"Why don't you go eat something first, it's been so long since you last ate."
"Okay."
