Chapter 113: Little Hope of Survival
I thought that after being sent to the hospital, Xia Chenge would quickly recover from her fever.
But unexpectedly, despite all efforts, Xia Chenge remained unconscious, her high fever unabated.
Furthermore, her vital signs changed drastically, and she was in critical condition!
This time, even the doctors became anxious. They conducted a full body examination on Xia Chenge but couldn’t find the cause.
After practicing medicine for many years, he had never encountered such an illness. He immediately convened a consultation with hospital experts, but they still couldn’t bring down Xia Chenge’s high fever.
Three hours later, the hospital issued a critical illness notice.
Upon hearing this news, Wei Lixin’s blood ran cold. He lunged forward, grabbed the doctor by his collar, and said with bloodshot eyes, “Are you a quack? It’s just a common fever, and you dare to issue a critical illness notice?”
The doctor was terrified by Wei Lixin’s uncontrolled outburst and was too scared to speak.
Another doctor nearby stepped forward and pulled Wei Lixin away, and the first doctor breathed a sigh of relief.
“Why can’t you even cure a high fever?” Wei Lixin angrily questioned them.
An older doctor stepped forward, his expression grave, and said, “I’m sorry, sir, we have done our best and are powerless. Please accept our condolences and prepare for the funeral.”
Wei Lixin almost threw a punch, but thankfully, those around him quickly intervened and stopped him.
“If you don’t cure her, you won’t have this hospital either!” Wei Lixin looked as if he was about to devour someone.
But no one dared to make a promise, as Xia Chenge’s vital signs were already very weak, and they couldn’t find the cause.
Seeing this, Wei Lixin trembled with anger and immediately called Wei En, asking him to contact top doctors in Country A to treat Xia Chenge.
Upon hearing the news, Wei En was stunned and couldn’t believe what he heard.
She was fine yesterday, and today she’s declared to be in critical condition?
Wei En’s first thought was that Xia Chenge had been schemed against at the Ling family yesterday.
He immediately went to find the Ling family.
When Old Madam Ling heard that Xia Chenge was in critical condition, her complexion changed drastically. She sternly questioned, “Wei En, what exactly is going on? Chenge was fine yesterday, how could she suddenly be in this state? What trick are you playing? Let Old Master Xia talk on the phone!”
“Old Madam Ling, you should ask your Ling family what they did to our Little Miss. She was fine when she returned yesterday, but this morning she has a high fever that won’t go down and has now been issued a critical illness notice by the hospital! If your Ling family is responsible, I will not let your Ling family off the hook, even if it costs me my life!”
“Shut up! Which hospital is she in now?” Old Madam Ling was furious; she would protect Xia Chenge if anything!
“First People’s Hospital.”
“Transfer her to Rende Hospital immediately. Those quacks at City One.” Old Madam Ling said, rushing out to head to Rende Hospital.
How could a young girl suddenly be in such a state?
After ending the call, Old Madam Ling called Ling Zhongjing and asked him to immediately arrange for the best doctors in Haicheng to go to Rende Hospital to rescue Xia Chenge.
Ling Zhongjing thought he misheard: “Save who?”
“Xia Chenge, Wei En said she was issued a critical illness notice,” Old Madam Ling explained.
Ling Zhongjing thought of the stunning child from yesterday and couldn’t believe it. Despite having a thousand questions in his heart, he didn’t dare to delay and arranged for doctors to go to Rende Hospital to rescue Xia Chenge.
By the time this devastating news reached Ling Hanmu, Xia Chenge had already been transferred to Rende Hospital.
He went mad, disregarding everything, running red lights and speeding to Rende Hospital.
Ling Hanmu absolutely refused to believe this was true. Last night, Xia Chenge said he would live past twenty, how could she, who was seventeen, suddenly be in critical condition?
It must be a joke, it can’t be real! Ling Hanmu desperately tried to comfort himself, but his heart was already in turmoil.
His eyes began to turn a bloodthirsty crimson again, gradually losing his reason, his expression dark and terrifying.
When Ling Hanmu arrived at Rende Hospital, anyone who saw him acted as if they had seen a ghost, scrambling to get out of his way and shrinking to the side, not daring to breathe.
“Where is Xia Chenge?” Ling Hanmu approached the information desk, grabbing the young nurse by her collar and asking coldly.
The young nurse was terrified by his appearance and couldn’t say a word, her face flushed red.
“Young Master, Young Master…” The Ling family’s bodyguards rushed over, trying to pull Ling Hanmu away to save the nurse.
Ling Hanmu immediately let go of the nurse and punched two bodyguards to the ground.
Instantly, screams erupted throughout the outpatient department, and people scattered in all directions, creating chaos.
Old Madam Ling happened to arrive at the hospital and, seeing the scene, angrily stepped forward: “Ling Hanmu, stop it!”
Ling Hanmu heard her voice and slowly turned his head to look at Old Madam Ling.
As soon as Old Madam Ling met Ling Hanmu’s crimson eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine and her limbs turn cold. Even she, who had seen many storms, felt an involuntary fear at this moment.
Because the last time Ling Hanmu was like this, he almost killed his uncle, Ling Zhongwen.
And now, with so many people in the hospital…
“Where is Xia Chenge?” Ling Hanmu asked her, his eyes devoid of emotion, as if Old Madam Ling were a stranger.
“She’s in the ICU ward on the 8th floor,” Old Madam Ling said, her voice trembling.
With a flash of movement, Ling Hanmu was already rushing towards the stairs like a gust of wind, disappearing in an instant.
After a long while, the people in the outpatient department finally came back to their senses.
They had truly thought their lives were over just now!
Ling Hanmu was truly terrifying.
Old Madam Ling took a deep breath and bowed to everyone, apologizing: “Everyone, I’m sorry! You were frightened. The Ling family will compensate you. Please forgive Ling Hanmu’s uncontrolled behavior due to his fiancée being issued a critical illness notice.”
Upon hearing this, and remembering the patient who was brought in more than ten minutes ago, with all the medical staff looking as if they were facing a great enemy, they wondered if that patient was Ling Hanmu’s fiancée.
“Old Madam Ling, was Xia Chenge issued a critical illness notice?” someone dared to ask.
Old Madam Ling had intended to keep this matter private, but Ling Hanmu’s behavior just now forced her to speak. Otherwise, if people realized that Ling Hanmu could lose control like this, it might cause turmoil in Haicheng.
Old Madam Ling nodded: “I hope that child Chenge can be strong and pull through.”
“No way, she was fine yesterday, how could she be…” The person wanted to ask more, but was suddenly covered by someone’s mouth.
Old Madam Ling shook her head and said no more, then entered the elevator with her bodyguards to go upstairs.
Everyone looked at each other, finding it difficult to process this sudden information.
When Old Madam Ling reached the 8th floor, Ling Hanmu was being gently supported away from the ICU ward.
“How is Xiao Mu?” Old Madam Ling hurried forward, anxiously asking.
“The Dean gave him a sedative, and he has calmed down now. He’s about to be taken to his room.”
“What about Chenge?”
“Miss Xia… alas, the situation is not optimistic.”
