The two took Ruan Tianxin to the hospital. Doctors and nurses, notified in advance, had the operating room ready. As soon as she arrived, she was taken inside.
As the operating room door closed, Shao Chen also wanted to go in, wanting to ask about the doctor inside. But two bodyguards, their arms bearing the insignia of the Royal Guard, immediately blocked him, preventing him from approaching, and stood guard imposingly at the operating room door.
Shao Chen frowned slightly, but seeing the emblem on their arms, he rationally did not cause a scene. Instead, he grabbed James and asked, "What kind of doctor is inside? Are they reliable?"
These doctors were arranged by James on the way, speaking Danish, which he couldn't understand.
James saw his eyes were bloodshot and his expression tense, his grip on his arm strong. He knew Shao Chen, like himself, was very worried about Ruan Tianxin, even more so than himself, fearing something might happen to her. The hand he was holding was visibly trembling.
As a former lover, he understood Shao Chen's worry and his feelings. He even felt he was inferior to Shao Chen, as he hadn't known that Ruan Tianxin was allergic to MSG.
However, as a competitor, he didn't want to lose to Shao Chen.
"They are the royal family's personal physicians," James said.
Upon hearing this, Shao Chen's brows furrowed further. "Are the royal family's personal physicians reliable? Are there no better doctors?"
James looked as if Shao Chen was joking. "If the royal family's personal physicians aren't reliable, where else are you going to find a miracle doctor?"
Shao Chen wanted to say that according to Chinese historical dramas and court dramas, these so-called royal physicians were the least reliable. But the mention of a miracle doctor suddenly made him remember someone.
Didn't he know a very capable miracle doctor!
How could he have forgotten!
Shao Chen released James, turned to the side of the corridor, and made a transcontinental call to Qin Beiting.
It was precisely during the lunch break in China at this time. The call was connected quickly.
"Brother Ting, I need to borrow your wife. I'll send someone to pick her up and bring her to Denmark," Shao Chen said directly, cutting to the chase.
Qin Beiting was clearly unhappy. "What's the matter?"
"Tianxin is having an allergic reaction," Shao Chen said.
Qin Beiting wasn't aware of Ruan Tianxin's condition. He thought it was just a common allergy and felt it was unnecessary for Yu He to fly all the way to Denmark. Moreover, even if it were serious, it would be too far to help.
"It's just an allergy, is there a need to make such a fuss? Have all the doctors there gone extinct?" he said casually.
Yu He, who was lying next to Qin Beiting and about to take a nap, heard "allergy." She propped herself up and asked him to put the call on speaker. When Qin Beiting answered the phone earlier, she had seen the caller ID was Shao Chen.
A normal allergy was nothing, it could be treated. But if it were severe, it could be fatal.
Qin Beiting dared not disobey her. He turned on the speaker.
"Tianxin was framed and accidentally ate MSG. Her condition looks very serious, and she must have ingested quite a bit. She's been sent to the emergency room," Shao Chen said.
His voice carried a deep, uncontrollable tremor.
Yu He knew Ruan Tianxin was allergic to MSG. When they ate out, they would always ask the restaurant not to use MSG. Even a tiny amount could cause Ruan Tianxin to break out in hives all over her body, and in severe cases, she could go into shock or even face a life-threatening crisis.
This congenital physical condition was incurable.
Yu He's expression turned serious. She snatched Qin Beiting's phone and said, "Don't rush. Switch to video and let me see her current situation."
Shao Chen quickly switched to video. "She's in the operating room now, and her bodyguards are outside. I can't get in."
"Master Shao, are you so nervous that you've forgotten who you are?" Yu He said.
Reminded by her, Shao Chen suddenly realized that he had been too worried and had forgotten about his own network and resources.
But it was also at this moment that he truly understood how much he cared about and worried about Ruan Tianxin.
It was as if all his longing for her over the past five years had been dug up at this moment, laid bare before him, leaving him no room to deny or evade the fact that Ruan Tianxin was truly important to him.
...
The next day.
Ruan Tianxin slowly woke up and opened her eyes. Seeing Yu He standing by the bedside, she was surprised, thinking she was hallucinating.
Yu He saw her rubbing her eyes. "You're awake."
"Little Hey Miao, it's really you! How did you get here? I thought I was dreaming!"
As Ruan Tianxin spoke, she tried to sit up abruptly, but felt dizzy and lay back on the hospital bed. She felt a wave of nausea in her throat and gagged.
"Don't get excited. You had an anaphylactic shock from MSG. Your stomach was pumped, and you need rest," Yu He soothed.
"Darling, you're finally awake. You scared me to death. I almost thought I'd have to bury my child," said Ruan's mother, who was beside Qin Beiting, reaching the other side of the bed and holding her daughter's hand.
She looked at the allergic spots on her daughter's face and hands that hadn't completely faded, her heart aching.
Ruan Tianxin's condition yesterday had been very serious. The doctors had even given a death notice. If it hadn't been for Shao Chen having Yu He guide the doctors through video to treat her, she might never have seen her daughter again.
Ruan Tianxin paused for a moment before recalling the events of the previous day's dance. She had been too careless, drinking the beverage given to her by Feng Anna, and had narrowly escaped death.
She didn't want her mother to worry, so she pouted and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? Your hair isn't white at all. Besides, my hair isn't black. Where would there be white-haired sending off black-haired?"
Seeing that she still had the energy to joke, Ruan's mother breathed a sigh of relief. "You're just being flippant. You scared me to death."
"Auntie, Tianxin has passed the critical period. There's no major problem. She just needs to rest well. You don't need to worry too much," Yu He added supportively.
With the "miracle doctor" speaking, Ruan's mother finally put her heart at ease. Knowing that the two best friends would have endless things to talk about, she gave them space and went back to have the chef prepare a nourishing soup.
"Little Hey Miao, do we have a telepathic connection? You knew I was in trouble and rushed over to save me?" Ruan Tianxin asked, blinking her eyes.
"Shao Chen asked me to come," Yu He explained.
"Him?" Ruan Tianxin was stunned, clearly not believing that Shao Chen would be so kind.
Didn't he wish he never saw her again?
She had told Shao Chen about her MSG allergy before. Given their bickering yesterday, she suspected Shao Chen had instructed Feng Anna to do it.
Ruan Tianxin: "He's feeling guilty about something, isn't he, and sent you over!"
Yu He: "Feeling guilty about something? What did he do?"
"Do you know how I got the allergy? I drank the cola given to me by his companion, Feng Anna, and that's what happened," Ruan Tianxin said. "I even suspect that my allergy was orchestrated by him, with Feng Anna adding MSG to the cola for me to drink. Otherwise, who would be so eccentric and bored to add so much MSG to cola? Isn't it just targeting me?"
Yu He remembered how worried Shao Chen had been about Ruan Tianxin yesterday and felt that Ruan Tianxin might have misunderstood.
"It probably wasn't. I saw how worried Shao Chen was about you yesterday," Yu He said, opening her phone and showing it to her. "Besides, look, this morning's entertainment headlines in China: Feng Anna has been arrested for intentional injury."
