899 Vera's Condition (1/4)

Chapter 899 Vera's Condition (14)

"Stop giving her unrealistic hopes."

After the video call was connected, looking at the man on the other side of the screen who was writing at his desk, Molina couldn't help but feel angry for a while, and said in a cold tone.

Hearing this inexplicable speech, Lu Zhou, who was sitting at the desk and calculating, finally put down the pen in his hand.

He raised his head and looked at Molina who was in the video call. He still didn't quite understand the situation, and said in a daze.

"Her? What are you talking about?"

Last night, I sent an email asking if there was time for a video chat, but now the video is open, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't know what she wanted to express.

Taking a deep breath, Molina continued in a cold tone.

"I'm talking about Miss Vera Puyui!"

Lu Zhou frowned, gradually realizing that things seemed a little serious.

"What happened to Vera?"

It seemed that she was hesitating whether to tell it or not, but thinking of the distressed face, she gritted her teeth, and still couldn't help breaking the agreement not to tell Lu Zhou, and told the truth.

"...She is very sick now, she has been coughing and having a fever since last week, it doesn't seem like a common cold! I don't know if there is any agreement or cooperation between you and her, I'm not very interested in asking, I just want to tell you...she is overdrawing her health!"

Staring at Lu Zhou on the screen, Molina said seriously.

"I beg you, don't push her too hard."

After dropping this sentence, Molina reached out and held the mouse, and ended the call under Lu Zhou's astonished gaze.

"Wait a minute!...Have you hung up already?"

Before he could call her to stop, Lu Zhou looked at the blacked out screen with complicated expressions on his face.

Molina's last words lingered in his ears.

What do you mean I pushed her too hard?

Lu Zhou repeated this sentence in his heart, and asked himself if he had ever done such a thing.

However, no matter how he asked himself, he couldn't remember what he had asked her to do.

Fuck!

Can you stop talking in half and finish a sentence well!

What the hell did I do?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart, but he couldn't tell where this irritability came from, and he didn't even know why he was irritated.

It seems that the dullness on Lu Zhou's face was captured through the camera, a string of colored bubbles appeared in the lower right corner, quietly reflecting a line of text.

Xiao Ai: 【Master, that... Do you need Xiao Ai to reconnect the video call? (>person<;)]

Taking a deep breath, Lu Zhou opened his mouth and finally shook his head.

"……no need."

Although Xiaoai does have this ability, there is no point in doing so at all.

Molina obviously hung up after expressing everything she wanted to say. Even if she connected the video call at this moment, it would only add some embarrassment.

After all, people's hearts are not codes, and they can't be changed with just a few beating characters.

Leaning on the office chair, Lu Zhou sighed and said to himself.

"...I really want to go to a quieter place, preferably with no one there."

There is no sophistication there, and no troubles outside of research.

There is only pure truth.

It would be great if we add a setting like endless time and space.

At least in his opinion, there is nothing happier than this.

After closing his eyes to avoid reality for a while, Lu Zhou suddenly shook his head and sat up from the chair.

no!

You can't just leave her alone!

Regardless of whether it is because of him or not, she is also the most proud student he taught...

He couldn't just watch her do some stupid things that ignored her health. After all, not everyone can be like him. Relying on the potions rewarded by the system, he has not had a serious illness in the past six or seven years, and he has exploded his liver for 72 hours in a row and is still like a normal person.

With such thoughts in mind, Lu Zhou opened the mailbox and wrote in the email carefully.

【I heard you have a cold...】

[Sorry, I am not very good at comforting people, and the suggestions I made are definitely not professional as doctors. I just want to say...]

[No matter how important the research is, I hope you can put your body first and put your work aside. Research can be done anytime, but health is only once for everyone. What's more, your body has not been very good, and you need to pay more attention. 】

[If you fall ill, I will be very sad. 】

【Also, remember to drink plenty of hot water...】

After typing the last line, Lu Zhou was silent for a while, as if he felt that the last sentence was inappropriate, he pressed the backspace key to delete this sentence, and then clicked the send button.

After finishing these things, Lu Zhou just sat in front of the computer and waited quietly.

Although he also wanted to pass this torturous time by delving into math problems, but unfortunately, with such a thing on his mind, he couldn't concentrate on the math problems at all.

In this way, time passed by every minute and every second.

Although the minute hand has just passed two grids, for Lu Zhou, the past ten minutes are as long as a century.

Looking at the mailbox that still had no reply, Lu Zhou took a breath through his nose.

He can be sure that Vera must have not slept at this time, and the computer must be at hand, so he must have seen his email.

"Did I go too far?"

"But what did I do..."

Glancing at his right hand, Lu Zhou shook his head a little irritably, driving the distracting thoughts out of his mind.

"Now is not the time to dwell on these things."

"At least, I have to find out what happened to her first!"

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou immediately opened the mailbox and edited an email again.

[…… If you are in Princeton now, please visit Miss Vera Pouy instead of me. I heard from his colleague that she has a bad cold, but I can't contact her now. 】

[If it is convenient, please bring me my greetings to her, and help me find out what kind of disease she is suffering from? please. 】

He opened the list of correspondents, and sent this email to his other favorite student, Qin Yue.

Although this man usually doesn't talk a lot and doesn't look very enthusiastic, he is actually a very enthusiastic person, and if it is his own request, he will definitely do his best to fulfill it.

What's more, besides Qin Yue, he couldn't find anyone else to ask for this matter.

After sending the email, Lu Zhou let out a long breath and leaned back on the chair, praying silently in his heart.

"I hope nothing happens..."

If she did fall ill, whether it was because of him or not, he would feel extremely guilty.

As for the more terrifying things...

Right now, he is temporarily unwilling or afraid to think about it.
