Chapter 1107: Blood Curse Poison Acting Up Again?

Although the employee strike crisis was temporarily resolved, Lu Jihan did not relax because of this. He continued to stay at the company and work overtime, arranging all the response plans.

It wasn’t until he returned home that Song Yinyin and Song Dabai were already asleep, and he finally went back to the old house to rest.

Originally, he could have stayed overnight at the company, but since learning that Song Yinyin was pregnant, he insisted on going home to be with his wife and child no matter how late or busy he was.

According to Yan Xue, he inherited the good tradition of the Lu Family men in caring for their family.

At this moment, he returned to the bedroom and saw Song Yinyin was already asleep. He slowed his steps to the minimum.

He tiptoed to the bathroom for a hot shower, and when he came out, he found Song Yinyin’s blanket had fallen to the ground. He carefully covered her with it.

Just as he was about to lie down, Song Yinyin suddenly coughed lightly, opening her eyes in a haze.

"Husband?" Her voice was hoarse, a bit raspy.

Lu Jihan leaned closer and gently kissed her forehead, "Did I wake you?"

"No." She shook her head, like a little girl, wrapping her arms around his neck, "I want to drink water."

He softly pecked her lips, "Wait a moment, I’ll go downstairs to get it for you."

With that, he picked up the empty water glass from the bedside table and went downstairs. Pregnant women should ideally drink warm water, so he poured her a cup of warm water.

Just as he was about to return to the bedroom, a familiar piercing pain swept through his body.

"Ugh..."

He instinctively covered his chest while the glass in his other hand fell in response.

Crash—

The glass water cup fell to the ground and shattered instantly.

Lu Jihan looked at his empty, trembling hands, wide-eyed in shock.

What’s going on?

Why does this familiar pain feel so much like the precursor to the Blood Curse Poison’s outbreak?!

How could it be the Blood Curse Poison? Wasn’t it already detoxified? There have been no signs of the Blood Curse Poison outbreak for months.

However, the sharp pain right now is clearly a sign of the Blood Curse Poison acting up. He couldn’t be more familiar with it.

He vividly remembers from the age of eighteen onwards, every outbreak of the Blood Curse Poison in his body would pain him to the brink of losing consciousness, his skin would sting, and his body felt like it was being bitten by thousands of tiny insects. Such unbearable pain he would never forget.

And this sensation... couldn’t be mistaken.

But how could it be the Blood Curse Poison?

Could it be that he never actually detoxified?

Boom—

Upon realizing this, his face turned pale, overwhelmed not only by immense pain but more so by panic...

The first thought in his mind was of Song Yinyin and Dabai, leaving him momentarily at a loss, his forehead immediately covered in cold sweat.

"Young Master Jinhan, what’s wrong?" The butler’s voice suddenly appeared at the kitchen door.

Lu Jihan snapped back and concealed, "Nothing, I just accidentally broke the water cup."

"Oh, let me get you a new one." The butler said, quickly opening a drawer and taking out a new cup, cleaning it before handing it to Lu Jihan.

"Thank you."

Lu Jihan took the water cup and poured some warm water.

The butler looked up and saw Lu Jihan’s complexion was not good, baffled: "Young Master Jinhan, are you feeling unwell? You look pale."

"Oh, maybe it’s just that I worked too hard during the day."

"Then you should get rest soon."

"Okay."

Lu Jihan nodded and walked toward the bedroom.
