Jing MO approached cautiously, grabbed Gao Xin’s arm, and pulled her up from the ground. Then he pushed her toward her manager Zhou Ping and said, “Take her to a safe place.”

Having done that, Jing MO turned around swiftly and joined Xia Xin in facing the tiger.

Anxiously, Xia Xin said, “This place is dangerous. You shouldn’t stay here.”

Jing MO frowned and said, “You know it’s dangerous, yet you still came here.

Are you only interested in dangerous places?”

Xia Xin pursed her lips and thought this wasn’t the time to bicker.

The tiger let out an unhappy roar, and Xia Xin refrained from speaking any further, focusing her attention on the tiger.

Currently, controlling the tiger was crucial. While her Beast Language System could control young animals, she wasn’t sure if it would work on a tiger. At this point, it was a desperate measure.

Xia Xin struggled, attempting to use her ability to control the tiger through her mind. However, it was evident that she had failed. The tiger continued to approach slowly. Jing MO grabbed Xia Xin’s wrist and instructed, “Listen to me. When I count to three, run with me!”

Sweat formed on Xia Xin’s forehead. She now realized that controlling animals was truly exhausting. She was concerned that her strength might give out. If she slowed them down, Jing MO might be harmed. She said, “Don’t let me hold you back. If there’s real danger, make sure you escape quickly!”

Jing Mo t s tone was resolute and said, “I’ll never leave you behind.”

Seeing how determined Jing MO was to stay, Xia Xin was torn between hoping to control the tiger and ensuring they both remained unharmed.

With a deep breath, Xia Xin closed her eyes, focusing her attention and making a concentrated effort to control the tiger mentally.

Although the control was weak, it was effective enough to slow the tiger’s approach significantly. Finally, the tiger started struggling but was unable to move forward anymore.

Just in time, the tiger keeper arrived with capture tools. They quickly put an iron muzzle on the tiger to prevent it from biting and used the tools to restrain it, successfully capturing the tiger.

Others turned to Xia Xin and asked, “Are you okay?”

Sweat covered Xia Xin’s forehead, her lips turned pale, and she panted. She answered weakly, “I’m fine for now.”

The tiger keeper couldn’t help but admire Xia Xin and praised, “Xia Xin, you’re truly brave to endure in front of a tiger for so long.”

Growing weaker by the moment, Xia Xin lacked the strength to continue the conversation. A faint smile tugged at her pale lips before she collapsed backward. Luckily, Jing MO caught her in time.

Worriedly, Jing MO held Xia Xin and immediately started running towards the exit of the zoo. As they ran, he scolded her with an affectionate tone, “You’re always like this, rushing forward in every situation. Aren’t you afraid of getting hurt? Don’t you know that if you’re hurt, the people who care about you will worry about you?”

However, Xia Xin couldn’t reply. She had already fallen asleep again.

Once again, Xia Xin was rushed to the emergency room. The doctor, having seen this situation before, looked at Jing MO helplessly and asked, “What happened this time?”

Jing MO looked at Xia Xin’s pale lips and thought for a while before responding, “Probably just shocked.”

The doctor seemed exasperated by Jing Mo’s answer and asked, “Is this girl in a high-risk profession? She falls ill every few days. As her boyfriend, you should take care of her and advise her to change her job instead of letting her get hurt!”

Jing MO didn’t argue. He urged the doctor to start the treatment.

The doctor said, “I understand you’re worried sick, but you’ll have to wait for the treatment. It takes time, and I need to listen to her heartbeat and check for any unusual sounds in her chest first.”

The doctor slowly took off his stethoscope, listening to Xia Xin’s heartbeat and checking for any abnormal sounds in her chest. Then he looked at her pupils and concluded, “It’s probably due to excessive fright combined with exhaustion. That’s why she fell asleep again.”

“Um… how long will she sleep this time?” Jing MO asked.

“It’s hard to say. It depends on her recovery speed,” said the doctor.

With a helpless look at Xia Xin, Jing MO picked her up and carried her into the ward.

Xia Xin slept for a long time this time—a whole day and night. Jing MO had spent a whole day and night in her ward. When he saw Xia Xin waking up, his emotions were complex. He said, “Sleeping beauty, you finally decided to wake up.”

Still a bit dazed, Xia Xin looked at Jing MO with vacant eyes. She tried to move, only to find an IV needle in her hand.. She asked blankly, “Is it serious? Why am I hooked up to an IV?”
