Chapter 604 Never Forget To Confess
Craven teased, “Is this the prerogative of a beauty?”
“No, because I saved Almon’s mother.”
When she was looking for a house, she happened to b.u.mp into Almon’s mother giving birth. The woman had a difficult delivery and even lost a lot of blood. Coincidentally, at that time, there were rumors in this area that there was going to be a war. Everyone was busy escaping, so they did not have the time to take care of a pregnant woman. Ji Yinbing was used to saving lives, so she knelt down beside Almon’s mother and delivered the child for her.
She was still the G.o.dmother of Almon’s sister, Sarah.
When Craven heard her say this, he could imagine how chaotic the scene was at that time. After so many years, Ji Yinbing had changed, but she had not changed. What she had changed was her appearance, and what she had not changed was her ever warm and pure heart.
Craven recognized that he had come to the right place on this long trip.
He quickly cleaned up the house.
Ji Yinbing was about to go back to her room to rest when Craven suddenly stopped her. “What is it?”
Ji Yinbing turned around and looked at Craven.
Craven said softly, “You’re single now, right?”
Ji Yinbing was stunned for a moment before saying, “Do you have a pair of sharp eyes?”
Craven only smiled. When he was done, he asked her, “Are you?”
Ji Yinbing had always been a frank person.
She nodded. “Yes.” Craven’s smile deepened. “Why did you break up?” Seeing Ji Yinbing’s expression change slightly, Craven quickly said, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked.”
“Nothing. All kinds of reasons, I guess.”

Ji Yinbing did not want to say anything more, so she quickly went upstairs. After she returned to the house, she took a shower again before lying down. There was no air conditioner in the house, only an electric fan humming. Ji Yinbing lay on the bed and fell asleep, sweating all over. She wasn’t a dreamer, but she had a few dreams tonight. She dreamed of her mother, who had pa.s.sed away many years ago. She dreamed of Ah Han, who had molested her. She dreamed of her father, who did not treat her as a human, and her brothers. Finally, she vaguely saw a young man in a white coat standing under a tree.
She could not see his face clearly. She gathered her courage and tugged at the corner of the young man’s s.h.i.+rt.
Then, the young man turned around. The face that turned around was Yan Nuo’s.
The dream stopped here.
Ji Yinbing opened her eyes and stared at the spinning fan for a long time. Why did she stop Yan Nuo among so many people?
Ji Yinbing could not sleep anymore, so she got out of bed and did push-ups and sit-ups in the living room. After dawn, she carried her bag downstairs and met Craven at the corner of the second floor. “Morning!” The sunny man whistled at her.
Ji Yinbing was wearing a light purple s.h.i.+rt and black tight pants. Her figure was graceful and she was indeed beautiful.
She smiled at Craven. “It’s a gangster thing to whistle.”
Craven followed behind her. “Only to you,” he said as they walked.
Ji Yinbing did not answer.
She bought a secondhand car. On the way there, she drove. Craven looked sideways at the side of the road. It was not a flat road. Many houses along the road had collapsed. Once the war had spread to this region, but then it had turned north.
He asked Ji Yinbing, “Were you afraid when the cannon fire came?”
“I’m afraid.”
“What made you keep holding on?”
Ji Yinbing thought for a while before saying, “Life.”
“Yes?”
“It’s every life that is unwilling to die. We who study viruses are considered half doctors, right? Aren’t doctors people who save people?” Ji Yinbing turned her head and met Craven’s gaze. She said especially seriously, “I save people and everyone who wants to live.”
“Although this place is very messy and poor, they are still qualified to live.” Just like when she was young, she did not accept her fate and vowed to make a name for herself.
Who could be sure that there was no second Ji Yinbing among the children she had saved?
Craven looked at her more fascinated.
He said, “All these years, I’ve never found a woman who fascinated me more than you.”
This was a confession.
Ji Yinbing told him expressionlessly, “I don’t plan to fall in love.”
“I understand.”
They arrived at the research inst.i.tute.
The person in charge of receiving Craven brought him to the research inst.i.tute for a walk. Ji Yinbing went straight to her research lab.
It was always easy for people in this region to suffer from all kinds of viruses. This was closely related to the living environment nearby. The natural environment here was poor, the weather was harsh, and there were more wild animals. These animals often carried all kinds of viruses.
Once they came into contact with humans, humans would be easily infected by the virus.
In addition, the medical facilities here were generally backward. Some people who were infected by the virus could only wait for death slowly. In the hot and hot weather, it was easiest to accelerate the spread of the virus.
Ji Yinbing was currently in charge of developing an antidote for a virus called ‘defeated ear disease’. People who were infected with the defeated ear virus only had ear pain at first. Within three days after the warning of the patient’s ear pain, there would be a pain in their heads like a bug biting their brains.
People infected by the virus would die of pain.
When they died, their postures were often hideous and twisted, and their faces were blurry from being grabbed by hands.
This virus research had been ongoing for two months. Ji Yinbing’s research team had encountered a bottleneck. Ji Yinbing decided to take a look at the eardrums.
She put on a mask and shouldered her bag. Before she could walk out the door, Craven caught up with her. “Where to?”
“Ah Mo Village.”
This village had the highest rate of dementia.
“Together?” Craven said. “I’m in the same group as you now.” “Alright.”
On the way, Ji Yinbing explained the progress of their research team to Craven and the current bottleneck.
“Is it because we can’t figure out the source of the virus?”
“Yeah.”
They could not find the source of the virus. It was unknown if it was produced by the human body or carried by external objects.
Amo Village was like other villages. The houses in the village were densely packed, and the children who were playing around were naked and covered their b.u.t.tocks with two pieces of cloth. It was cooler this way. Compared to them, Ji Yinbing and Craven, who were dressed appropriately and clean, looked much stranger.
As they entered the village, many people stared at them.
The adults and children stared curiously at Craven’s blond head. They knew that this was a white man. His skin color was the most contrast in the world to theirs. Craven heard them talking. He asked Ji Yinbing, “What are they talking about?” “You’d better not hear it.”
“Tell me.”
“Just like how you call them Black Ghosts, they call you White Ghosts.”
Craven fantasized for a second or two.
White ghost…
