Chapter 739: Chapter 739: Fighting Poison with Poison
Xiaobao quickly nodded his promise, “Don’t worry, Mom, I won’t do it again.”
Soon Luo Mengmeng put the matter behind her, and before long, it was time for Xiaobao’s monthly checkup.
Although he was taking medication to suppress the Despair virus, to guard against unpredictable factors such as resistance, Luo Mengmeng had to take Xiaobao to the research institute for a virus check every month.
In the past, the viral count had been very stable, but this time it was strangely diminished, as if it had come under some kind of attack.
Seeing this, Dr. Carl eagerly asked Luo Mengmeng, “Meng, have you come up with a new drug?”
“No…” Luo Mengmeng shook her head blankly.
Dr. Carl’s eyes widened, “If that’s not the case, then why is the virus in Xiaobao’s body showing signs of weakening?”
The medication she had developed previously only caused the virus to enter a dormant phase and did not eliminate it.
But this time, the virus in Xiaobao’s body clearly seemed as if it had been attacked by some medication.
Luo Mengmeng was also extremely puzzled at this point, “I don’t know either, wait a second…”
As she was talking, Mengmeng suddenly seemed to think of something and dashed outside.
She suddenly remembered the poisonous fruit that Xiaobao had accidentally ingested that day.
Could it be that the poisonous fruit reacted with the virus in Xiaobao’s body, causing this change?
To prove this hypothesis, Luo Mengmeng decided to go up the mountain to pick the poisonous fruit and bring it back to the research institute for investigation.
When Dr. Carl and Xiaobao chased after her, Luo Mengmeng had already driven off.
“Mom, where are you going?” Xiaobao immediately followed her, chasing after the car.
But at the moment, Luo Mengmeng was so focused on picking the poisonous fruit from the mountain that she didn’t notice him following the car.
Dr. Carl quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xiaobao, “Child, your mom must have thought of something important. Let’s just wait here patiently for her to return.”
“Okay, Grandpa Carl,” Xiaobao reluctantly spread his hands.
Meanwhile, when Luo Mengmeng parked her car at the foot of the mountain, she immediately bought a ticket and rushed to the place where Xiaobao had eaten the poisonous fruit last time.
Looking at the fruit tree less than two meters tall, Mengmeng tiptoed lightly and easily plucked a green fruit from the tree.
After picking five or six, she left.
By the time she returned to the research institute, Xiaobao instantly saw the poisonous fruit in her hand, “Mom, why are you picking these poisonous fruits? You mustn’t eat them!”
Xiaobao looked at her worriedly, thinking that she went out specifically to pick poisonous fruits to eat.
Luo Mengmeng lowered her gaze and touched his little head, “Mommy didn’t pick these fruits to eat.”
“Then why?”
Xiaobao looked at her with confusion.
Just as Luo Mengmeng was about to answer, Dr. Carl interjected, “Meng, are you planning to research this fruit?”
“Exactly.” Luo Mengmeng immediately nodded, “Back when Xiaobao accidentally ate this poisonous fruit, the hospital report showed no toxin from it in his body, and now that his Despair virus is shrinking, I suspect it could be because the fruit reacted with the virus.”
Mengmeng quickly shared her hypothesis.
Dr. Carl pondered for a moment before speaking, “That’s certainly a possibility.”
He remembered an ancient saying from China, “Fight poison with poison.”
