Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 147 - 142: Promise

Pang Xiao rushed over 15 hours after Pang Zhi’s surgery. As soon as he got out of the car, he sprinted to the outside of the ICU. When he arrived, Yiyi was keeping watch outside, and the effects of the medication on the two bodyguards had worn off, so they were dutifully standing guard outside.

Yiyi noticed that when Pang Xiao appeared, the two bodyguards noticeably stiffened for a moment. Pang Xiao only gave them a cold glance before focusing his attention on Pang Zhi inside the ICU.

The ICU was temporarily inaccessible, only visible through the window. Pang Xiao glared at Pang Zhi with bloodshot eyes, fixated on him until Yiyi reassured him that Pang Zhi’s condition was relatively stable, which slightly calmed him down.

Then he glanced around warily and quietly asked Yiyi, "Where is that woman?"

Yiyi also lowered her voice, "I left her in the car, not sure if she’s awake now. Her family will probably call the police, so whatever you do, you’d better act quickly and leave no traces. When I was looking for Pang Zhi, I had contacted a boy named Xiao Yu. He saw He Lin leave Wu City and knows I chased after her. If He Lin’s family finds him, he will definitely mention me."

Pang Xiao nodded, "You don’t need to worry about this matter. I know what to do. The car is in the hospital parking lot, right? Give me the license plate number."

He said this while taking out his personal device to send a message. Yiyi guessed he had brought people with him and was no longer worried, whispering the license plate number to him. She wasn’t concerned at all about how Pang Xiao planned to deal with He Lin.

With Pang Xiao watching over the hospital, Yiyi stayed for a while before heading back to the Tang Family. She still had Tang Family business to attend to, and it was the first time she’d been away from Tang Yuan for so long. He had cried several times, and if Pang Xiao hadn’t come yet and Pang Zhi was still lying in ICU with an unknown fate, she would have returned long ago. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Pang Xiao didn’t know she had a child, but seeing her anxious expression, he guessed she was busy and didn’t stop her, even thanking her specifically. Yiyi briefly comforted him and hurried back to the Tang Family.

Just as she got home, before entering the door, she heard Tang Yuan’s cries and rushed inside. Upon entering, she saw Zhang Xue helplessly holding Tang Yuan, trying to soothe him, but Tang Yuan wouldn’t stop crying, wailing loudly.

Zhang Xue, seeing her, rushed over as if she had seen a savior and handed Tang Yuan into her arms, "Yiyi, you’re finally back, please pacify him."

Once in Yiyi’s arms, Tang Yuan calmed down after smelling her familiar scent. With his big, teary eyes, he glowered accusingly at her. Yiyi quickly kissed his cheeks, carried him back to the bedroom, and after feeding him, a well-fed and satisfied Tang Yuan finally forgave her "abandonment," although his small, chubby hands still clung tightly to her clothes, not letting go for fear she might disappear again.

It was only after soothing him to sleep that Yiyi carefully placed him in the crib and then rushed to the kitchen. After preparing the dishes, she packed a few portions and had them sent to the hospital.

Yiyi remained busy with the Tang Family’s business but didn’t forget to keep an eye on Pang Zhi’s condition. After two full days of coma in the ICU, Pang Zhi finally woke up, but although his body was healing, he was left with severe complications, just as Pudding had previously informed Yiyi.

When Pang Zhi woke up, Yiyi immediately rushed to the hospital, just in time to see Pang Xiao with a fierce expression, pressing the doctors for solutions. She quickly stopped him.

Pang Xiao looked terrifying, evidently having been provoked by Pang Zhi’s complications. After Yiyi intervened, he kept muttering, "It’s all their fault! It’s all their fault! These two scumbags! Not satisfied with harming me, they wouldn’t even spare Xiao Zhi!"

Yiyi noticed the doctors and nurses nearby looked uneasy, fearing Pang Xiao might accidentally reveal some secrets. She quickly pulled him out.

Like a puppet, Pang Xiao let her lead him without resistance. Yiyi took him to a secluded corner in the hallway, softly advising, "Pang Xiao, get a grip. Xiao Zhi’s situation isn’t hopeless. Don’t let yourself fall apart!"

Upon hearing her words, Pang Xiao immediately regained his senses, staring at her intently, "Do you have a solution?"

Yiyi wasn’t entirely confident, so she cautiously said, "Xiao Zhi was too seriously injured this time, which affected his Superpower awakening. But if we rehabilitate his body before he comes of age, maybe the impact can be minimized?"

Everyone knew this theory, but to truly rehabilitate the body thoroughly—how challenging it was! Pang Xiao initially thought Yiyi had a special method, but after hearing her, his face darkened. "Unless we find a Third Level or higher Wood Ability User to help repair his internal injuries, Xiao Zhi’s Superpower awakening will surely be severely impacted. But how easy is it to get a Third Level Wood Ability User to help?"

Looking defeated, Pang Xiao thought about his own low Talent Level, feeling furious to the point of wanting to rush to Wu City and kill Sun Yue and Pang Xiao, the two culprits!

But deep down, he knew his current strength wasn’t enough to contend with those two, and Pang De would never allow him to do so! With Pang Zhi still gravely injured, how could he leave Pang Zhi, who needed care, to battle recklessly with Sun Yue and Pang Xiao?

Yiyi also understood that the higher level a Wood Ability User was, the harder it was to get their help. Wood Ability Users were already rare, let alone high-level ones, nearly all of whom were extremely valuable!

Otherwise, she wouldn’t risk the exposure of secrets to save Zhang Xue, a Wood Ability User. However, Zhang Xue was originally just a First Level Ability User, and to protect her son Zhang Haoyu, her ability had regressed to Basic. Even now, she didn’t dare to use too much of her ability, offering limited help.

Nevertheless, Yiyi couldn’t bear to see Pang Xiao continue in despair, so she quietly said, "I know a Basic Wood Ability User who can help repair a bit of Pang Zhi’s injuries daily. Combined with dietary therapy, it should be helpful."

"Dietary therapy?" Pang Xiao’s eyes lit up again. He looked at Yiyi intensely, lowering his voice, "You mean... medicinal meals?"

Yiyi nodded and continued, "I’ll do my best to help repair Xiao Zhi’s body. If you’re not reassured, you can try to find a Third Level Wood Ability User to assist. Either way, it’s a way forward."

Pang Xiao nodded silently, no longer as despondent as before. He cast a deep look at Yiyi and suddenly said, "If you truly save Xiao Zhi, whether he can awaken his Superpower later or not, I’ll be at your service!"

Yiyi frowned at this, feeling Pang Xiao’s promise was too heavy! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), where your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
