Chapter 1568: To See What Reaction She Has After Drinking It

~4 min read 716 words

Hu Wenming didn't go any further: "My aunt works at this hospital. I just came up to see if there's anything I can help with."

Fu Yan Cheng waved his hand: "Nothing to help with for now, thanks, brother."

Hu Wenming punched his shoulder: "We're brothers who've watched each other's backs — no need for politeness with me."

As he spoke, he took out the phone number he'd just written down: "This is my aunt's office number. If you need anything, just call her.

We've got things to do, so we won't go in."

Fu Yan Cheng nodded lightly: "Alright then, I won't see you out. We'll get in touch another day."

In the hospital room, Xiao Wan lay on the bed, her face pale, her eyes full of tears: "Mom, it hurts so much."

Everyone in the room wished they could take on her suffering for her.

Mother Fu's eyes were red: "I know it hurts, sweetie, but you're still carrying the baby, so we can't give you painkillers. Bear with it a little longer."

The moment Liu Chuxue walked in, Seeing Fu Yanwan spotted her and called out in a choked, soft voice: "Fourth Sister-in-law, it's so late — what are you doing here?"

Liu Chuxue stepped forward: "I wasn't at ease, so I wanted to come check on you."

She had naturally overheard the earlier conversation between her sister-in-law and mother-in-law. Reaching into her crossbody bag, she pulled out a small bamboo tube: "Mom, this is a tonic I got from a master some time ago. Ask the doctor if it can be given to Xiao Wan."

She naturally knew this would only do Xiao Wan good, no harm — but she also knew that without the doctor's approval, the family wouldn't dare let Xiao Wan drink it.

Mother Fu knew Liu Chuxue would never harm Xiao Wan, but even so, she didn't dare decide on her own when it came to a tonic.

Liu Chuxue handed the bamboo tube straight across to Ren Jiangfeng: "Jiangfeng, take this and go ask the doctor."

Ren Jiangfeng didn't want to leave his wife's side, but with his fourth sister-in-law holding the thing out to him, he had no choice but to take it: "Xiao Wan, I'll be right back."

After all, this was something Xiao Wan would be drinking into her body — it was better to let Ren Jiangfeng go ask in person.

Only, Fu Yanhong followed Ren Jiangfeng out of the hospital room as well.

The moment the doctor heard it was a tonic, her brow furrowed deeply: "I understand your intentions, but she's very weak right now — she absolutely cannot be over-supplemented."

Ren Jiangfeng still handed the thing over: "Physician, could you take a look and tell me if my wife can take this later?"

The doctor had no choice but to take it. The instant she pulled out the bamboo stopper, a refreshing, heart-penetrating fragrance drifted into her nose, soothing her spirit — and she was instantly no longer calm: "Good stuff."

She could tell the ginseng had been steamed, so its medicinal effect was very mild. As for what kind of water it was, she couldn't make out.

She dripped a drop onto the back of her hand, smelled it, then licked it into her mouth. Instantly her mind cleared, and her face was full of pleasant surprise: "Where did this come from?"

Ren Jiangfeng took the bamboo tube back from the doctor: "My fourth sister-in-law got it from someone. Can my wife use it?"

The doctor stood up at once: "Yes. With this tonic, the baby in your wife's belly should be stabilized."

Hearing this, Ren Jiangfeng flushed red with excitement: "That's wonderful. Physician, can she drink it now?"

He was far too worried about his wife: "My wife is in terrible pain right now. If it's possible…"

Before he could finish, the doctor spoke up: "Let's go, I'll come with you and see what reaction she has after drinking it."

A man who had been squatting at the door heard every word of their conversation clearly, turned, and ran downstairs.

Ren Jiangfeng's hand holding the bamboo tube was shaking. Fu Yanhong snatched it straight from his hand: "I'll carry it — don't let your shaking spill it."
