Chapter 117 How to cure it?
When Shen Xi heard the words "anorexia" and "insomnia," she was stunned for a long time. She just couldn't reconcile these two words with the tall man in front of her.
How could a man who smiles at Shen Xi every day have such severe anorexia and insomnia?
Shen Xi looked up and examined Jiang Ci's face so carefully for the first time. She could only say that he had good genes. Even though he had insomnia, there were no dark circles under his eyes. There were only light blue spots, which could only be seen if you looked closely.
She couldn't help but think that she seemed to have never sat down and had a proper meal with Jiang Ci, very rarely.
Their schedules rarely overlapped. When Shen Xi woke up in the morning, Jiang Ci had already gone to work early. He rarely came back at noon, and usually ate dinner out.
This reminded Shen Xi of the few times they went out to eat together, but they missed it because Shen Xi fainted and was hospitalized.
Jiang Ci felt a little guilty under Shen Xi's scrutinizing gaze. He met Shen Xi's eyes, then slightly looked away, glancing at the wall behind her.
"you……"
"The young master is out!!"
Jiang Bei spoke up, instantly interrupting Shen Xi's next question.
Xiao Jiangdu was wheeled out on a stretcher by a group of doctors. Old Yan took off his mask, his face cold and stern, yet also weak. "Xiao Jiangdu was indeed poisoned. Jiangbei said it was poison, which is correct, but not quite right. Poison itself generally refers to a kind of deadly poison."
“Poison can be detected in Xiao Jiangdu’s body, but we can’t tell what kind of poison it is. We can only see from the instruments that the poison is slowly invading the child’s internal organs, and the child will only get more and more uncomfortable. I have already taken his blood and will immediately organize some experts in this field to do some research.”
He emphasized, "Until there are clear results, you should not move his body frequently, in case the poison spreads faster."
Jiang Bei's eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "Master, how can there be an illness in this world that you can't cure?"
Yan Kaihua looked at him with a distressed expression. Just because he knew a lot didn't mean he was the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. There were plenty of strange and unusual diseases in this world.
Hey, it seems that this girl Shen really treats Xiao Jiangdu like her own child. She hasn't recovered for a while and keeps holding the child's hand.
"Old Yan, how can we alleviate his current pain?"
Shen Xi's voice was hoarse. She looked at Xiao Jiangdu lying on the hospital bed with heartache. His little face was still red, his eyebrows were still delicately furrowed, and his lips were trembling slightly, as if he was enduring some great pain.
Jiang Ci turned to the side, his fists clenched tightly. His pupils were dark and deep, like a muddy swamp, from which one could easily sink.
"Mr. Yan, thank you for your help. Some of the foreign experts I invited are on their way..."
Before he could finish his pleasantries, Yan Kaihua sighed and said, "Kid, there's no need to be polite with me now. I may be old, but I'm not some old-fashioned stubborn person. Some foreign experts might be able to break out of our diagnostic model and make some new discoveries."
He put his aged hands behind his back and said, "Boy, investigate the people around you thoroughly. Your son has suffered too much this time."
After saying this, Yan Kaihua took a deep look at Jiang Du on the hospital bed, then turned and left the ward to study the patient's condition.
Shen Xi looked down at the child's face. The flush on his face gradually faded, replaced by a paler, weaker look. Beads of sweat still clung to the child's forehead.
Jiang Ci filled a basin with hot water and gently wiped the child's cold face with a warm towel, as if he had broken some precious treasure.
He looked at the child lying on the bed, oblivious to everything, and slowly said, "Jiang Du, you are six years old this year. Time flies. In the blink of an eye, you have already grown from a toddler learning to speak to a child about to enter primary school."
Jiang Ci stroked the child's tiny hand, "You were born in a snowy winter. The doctors said it was the fastest delivery they had ever made, like a blessing sent from heaven to your mother. But unfortunately, you weren't feeling well at the time, and I stayed by the door of the intensive care unit. Even when I felt a little better, I insisted on going there to watch over you."
"You are a resilient child. Later, your health gradually improved, and you grew up very healthily."
Jiang Ci's expression was gentle, his eyes filled with endless tenderness. He gently poked the child's tightly clenched little hand again and again.
"Jiang Du, let's get through this together, okay? Mom and Dad are still here watching over you."
The setting sun, its light flickering, gradually rose from the east, its faint warm glow passing over the windowpane, causing the curtains beside it to sway like ripples on a lake.
When Jiang Ci said those words, Shen Xi turned her back instantly, tears streaming down her face. She kept wiping away her tears, but she couldn't stop them.
She bit her lip, the bloodshot veins in her eyes bursting open and spreading across her entire eye sockets. She forced back tears, slowly walking to the bedside, refraining from looking at the child on the bed, her voice trembling slightly.
"Jiang Ci, when will those doctors arrive?"
Shen Xi can only pin her hopes on those masked doctors, perhaps they know about this kind of poison.
The man stood up, took out a tissue, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"At the latest, my private jet will pick them up this afternoon. The people coming are all Chinese Americans who specialize in pharmacy and are knowledgeable about various poisons around the world."
however,
In a moment that Shen Xi didn't notice, the woman's tears streamed down her face and dripped quickly onto the child's hand.
The little boy raised his index finger slightly, but only for a moment, before lowering it again.
The cardiac therapy machine was beeping.
Hua Lan and Jiang Hui arrived quickly, and Jingxu was put on the hospital bed in less than an hour.
The entire Jiang family has arrived.
The procession was quite grand, with a dignified old man leading the way, pushing a white-haired, graceful and kind old lady.
Hua Lan and Jiang Hui walked behind them, with Jiang Li and Zhou Li following behind.
The group reached a consensus, glanced at the child, and silently gathered outside the ward.
Grandma Jiang sat in her wheelchair, a small blanket always covering her knees. She looked at Shen Xi with kind eyes.
"Your name is Shen Xi, right?"
"Yes," Shen Xi replied, neither humble nor arrogant.
The old lady spoke slowly, and she stirred.
“Child, I’m sorry, this old woman is old and frail. I’ve been bedridden for years and haven’t been involved in the Jiang family’s affairs much. I’ve only seen you young people a few times a year. You’ve been married into the family for so many years, and I haven’t given you anything.”
“You’re a good child, so let’s not rush things. Xiaoman is a lucky child, and we’ll get through this together.”
Grandma Jiang adored Shen Xi, primarily because she was the daughter of the Shen family and the granddaughter of her old friend. Secondly, the child had clear eyes and remained composed and respectful even when facing them, demonstrating good character.
Shen Xi opened her mouth: ...
"My daughter-in-law is certainly good, but Mom, why don't you ask about Xiaoman's situation inside?"
Hua Lan was a little anxious. Although...but...she stood next to Shen Xi as soon as she arrived.
All eyes immediately turned to Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci rubbed his throbbing temples. "When you arrived, Jiang Bei had already told you about the situation. Jiang Du was indeed poisoned, and it's a difficult poison to cure. Xu Heyou is now on his way back to China with a foreign medical team."
Old Master Jiang kept his joy hidden, his mere presence exuding an invisible pressure. He spoke slowly and deliberately.
"I'll investigate the person."
Well, Jiang Hui originally thought that if that bastard dared to poison Jiang Du at home, he would find him, tear him to pieces, and throw him into the underground fighting arena so that those people would teach him a lesson.
Now, Jiang Ci's grandfather, Jiang Hui's father, has made his move. This old man is even more ruthless than him, so it seems we don't need him to arrest anyone.
"Wait a little longer... wait a little longer, they'll be here soon."
No one knows who suddenly said that, and everyone present fell silent.
Everyone present watched Jiang Du grow up. Jiang Du grew up in the old Jiang family house and brought a lot of vitality to the lives of Grandpa and Grandma Jiang. Hua Lan doted on this grandson like a treasure.
Every time Jiang Li came back, she would first look at Jiang Du and coax the little guy to call her "Auntie" pitifully.
When Jiang Du was three or four years old, Jiang Ci's illness improved, so he personally took Jiang Du back home. He took care of all of the child's daily life, including food, clothing, and education. Even when he was away on business, he would always call the child and bring back gifts.
Zhou Li was always a good brother to Jiang Ci. Even when Jiang Ci took time out for a meal, he would bring his child along. Sometimes when he went out with Zhou Li and Sheng Shen, they would take turns looking after the child.
In this situation, everyone is outwardly comforting each other, saying things like, "It's okay, it's okay, the child will get better."
But no one knew what would happen next. However, most of the people here had been through too much and no longer showed it on their faces.
Jiang Li's gaze remained fixed on Shen Xi across from her; her eyes held no malice, only pure curiosity.
After all, back then, that fake Shen Xi boasted in the mall that she was the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and who dared to contradict her?
Unfortunately, Jiang Li happened to be there that day; it was she who signed the bill.
However, Shen Xi back then was completely different from Shen Xi now.
