368 Big Brother's Secret

Tan Rou had to go to the library this weekend, so Mother Tao asked Tao Zheng to drive her. Coincidentally, he had bought a new car a while ago, but Tao Zheng had something else to do, so Mother Tao assigned this task to Tao Zhi.2

 Tan Rou also wanted to get closer with her big brother, so she walked towards Tao Zhi and smiled.

 A drop of sweat appeared on Tao Zhi's forehead as he stammered, "I..." I... I haven't been back for a long time, so I don't know the way."

 "It's fine, Xiao Rou knows the way.""

Tan Rou was a little puzzled. Could it be that her big brother was unwilling to send her?

"It's okay. I'll take the bus myself," Tan Rou said considerately.

 Mrs. Tao frowned. "It's getting cold. It's too cold to wait for the bus!"

 "Then I'll send her there." Tao Qi raised his hand and asked, "I don't mind going there with my sister!!"

 Tan Rou laughed. "If I go alone, I'll be alone in the cold wind. If we go together, we'll become two popsicles in the cold wind."

 "I'll go…" Tao Zhi stood up and said, "Give me the car keys. I'll send her there."

 Tan Rou didn't want to make things difficult for him. "I can take the bus."

 "Let's go!" Tao Zhi got up from the ground.

Tan Rou was still observing her brother's expression and movements as she walked to the car. She noticed that he had a firm expression on his face and his movements were very stiff. His arms were even trembling slightly.

Tan Rou was puzzled. Was her brother so afraid of her? Why did he shake so much while driving?

Sitting in the car, Tao Zhi kept persuading himself not to be nervous, not to care about the pain in his hand, not to…

 "Big brother, what's wrong? Why are your hands shaking?" Tan Rou asked.

 "I...."

 Tao Zhi didn't know how to tell his sister. He was afraid that his family would worry about him. After all, he didn't leave his job voluntarily. He was forced to leave.

At first, he didn't like this confidential job, but as he did it, he started taking a liking to it. He also was very happy to see what he had personally benefiting mankind but...

 Tao Zhi looked at his trembling hands on the steering wheel, and the pain in his heart surged.

 "Big brother." Tan Rou boldly placed her hand on the back of Tao Zhi's hand. "Why are you shaking?"

 "Nothing?" Tao Zhi quickly withdrew his hand.

 "Big brother, did you injure your hands?" Tan Rou asked in a deep voice.

 Tao Zhi looked very flustered. "It's nothing."

"Don't lie to me," Tan Rou grabbed his hand back. "I'm a doctor. You saw it when I checked Grandma's pulse. You can't lie to me."

 Tao Zhi put his hand back and admitted, "I did."

 Tan Rou's expression turned ugly. "What happened to your hand?"

"It was an accident." Tao Zhi lowered his head and said, "When I was working, the chemical leaked and got on my hands. My gloves didn't work, so I have lost all sense of touch on my hands. I recovered a little, but I couldn't pick up anything delicate anymore."

 Tan Rou was puzzled. "Why didn't the gloves work? The tools used in a chemical factory should have been up to standard. How could there be useless gloves?"

"My gloves were… they were replaced." Tao Zhi frowned and said, "Although the gloves I used were exactly the same as the previous ones, they reacted with the chemical. The gloves melted when it came into contact with the chemical.

 Tan Rou closed her eyes. "Brother, do you believe me?"

 Tao Zhi smiled bitterly. "Of course I believe you. You're my sister. Who else should I believe if not you?"

 "I'll help you with it. If you trust me, let me treat you," Tan Rou said firmly.

 Tao Zhi was tongue-tied for a long time.

Tan Rou thought that he didn't believe her. She quickly said, "Brother, I've been treating mom and grandma. There are also a few friends of mine who are also gradually recovering under my treatment."

 "No." Tao Zhi shook his head. "It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that the doctor said that my hand can't be saved. You don't have to waste any more time."

 "I can do it." Tan Rou smiled. "It's just a hand injury. I can treat it. Let me help you."

 Tao Zhi looked at his sister's determined gaze and nodded.
