Chapter 1478: Chapter 1478: Competing to See Who Is More Ruthless (2)
Xiaohe squinted her eyes and said softly, “Miss Du, it’s time for your injection.”
Du Qingyu instinctively replied, “I don’t…” She wanted to say that she wasn’t sick and didn’t need an injection.
To prevent any mishaps, the only person who knew she wasn’t sick was the attending physician. Perhaps the doctor wanted her “illness” to seem more real, which is why he sent the nurse to give her the injection?
So, she swallowed back the words she hadn’t yet spoken.
Xiaohe didn’t have much patience. She grabbed Du Qingyu’s arm, found the right spot, and injected her as quickly as possible. After completing her task, she stepped back two steps, speaking rigidly, “Miss Du, please rest well in the hospital. This illness won’t let you leave the hospital anytime soon.”
Perhaps, from now on, the hospital would become Du Qingyu’s home.
Du Qingyu impatiently dismissed her, “I know, leave then.”
Ice-cold amusement flashed in Xiaohe’s eyes as she turned and exited the ward. After leaving the ward, she called Ye Qilan, “The task Mr. Ye entrusted is done.”
Ye Qilan smiled faintly, “When you handle things, I have peace of mind.”
Next, let Du Qingyu stay at the hospital for a good while. Maybe she won’t ever get out in her lifetime.
Shortly after Xiaohe left, Du Qingyu started to feel unwell. She couldn’t stop coughing, then developed a high fever and had difficulty breathing. She hurriedly pressed the help button, and by the time the doctor arrived, Du Qingyu had fainted, losing consciousness.
Du Qingyu gradually awoke, finding her limbs stiff and her mouth dry. She struggled to get up and tried to speak, realizing that her throat was extremely hoarse.
“Doctor, what’s happening to me?” she asked in a raspy voice, her throat feeling like it was on fire.
The doctor looked at Du Qingyu uneasily, “Miss Du, your symptoms are similar to a cold, yet not entirely. We’re still conducting tests. As for what illness you have, we’ll need more thorough examinations to know.”
“A cold requires more thorough examinations? Do you know how valuable my time is? I don’t have time to linger in the hospital!” Du Qingyu was exasperated, but her voice was hoarse, lacking authority. Her shouting made her throat feel a sweet, metallic taste.
She had the doctor bring a basin, then coughed up a lot of blood. Her face turned pale, “What, what illness is this?”
Previously, she was perfectly fine, how could she suddenly catch a cold? She hadn’t even left her bed, hadn’t been exposed to cold wind, didn’t feel cold at all, it couldn’t be that she just randomly caught a cold!
Afraid of offending Du Qingyu, the doctor quickly replied, “I’ll conduct a full examination on Miss Du soon, we’ll find out the cause quickly. Miss Du, please don’t worry, it won’t be serious.”
Du Qingyu felt frustrated, not wanting to offend the attending physician, she softened her tone, “Then, I’ll trouble the doctor.”
“No trouble at all, it’s what we should do.” After saying that, the attending physician started to conduct a full examination on Du Qingyu.
As half a day passed, the initial test results came out. At the sight of the results, Du Qingyu was somewhat enraged, “After all these tests, you say it’s a viral cold? Are you sure a cold can cause you to cough blood?”
To be precise, she wasn’t vomiting blood but coughing blood. Her condition didn’t seem like an ordinary cold at all.
“After our examination, Miss Du indeed has a viral cold. We’ll start medicating Miss Du now. By tomorrow, her cold should be cured,” the attending physician replied, anxiously sweating.
