Qiao Mei immediately took out a small medicine bottle from her pocket and poured the liquid into Li Gui's mouth when no one was paying attention. This was very pure 1,000-year-old ginseng juice. After Li Gui drank it, no matter what kind of illness she had, she would get better. The vitality that her body had lost would also be replenished in an instant. Just like Xia Mao, she would be brought back from the dead.
Xia Wen looked in from the doorway. After seeing that Qiao Mei's mood had stabilized, he went to the doctor's side and asked, "What illness does my auntie have? Is it serious?"
"Her condition was quite serious when she first came. I've already used medicine to help with her recovery, but it's only temporary. If she doesn't get better treatment after one more day, her life will be in danger. The medical equipment here is limited and I can only keep her alive over these past two days," the doctor said as he lowered his head in fear, worried that he would anger these people.
They were all ready to transfer Li Gui to the city hospital immediately with their car outside. Xia He took out 100 dollars from her pocket and gave it to the doctor. "This is payment for the medical treatment. Any extra is a token of thanks from us. I hope you can accept it."
The doctor widened his eyes and looked at the 100 dollars in front of him. He could not wait to reach out and s.n.a.t.c.h the money. He did not expect to be able to get so much money after saving this patient that day! The medicine he used cost less than 5 dollars and he never would have expected the payback to be 20 times of that amount!
"You're welcome…" the doctor said happily.
He could not even earn so much money in half a year!
If he had known that these people were so rich, he would have made the patient's condition sound more serious just now. Perhaps he would have been paid even more.
Xia Wen carried Li Gui on his back and brought her to the car. They then rushed to Xia Fang's hospital. As soon as they entered, they asked the security officers to go and get Liu Yang and Xia Fang to go to the VIP ward now. They must hurry!
After Qiao Mei arrived at the hospital, her stomach hurt a little. She slowly walked to the living room of the VIP ward and sat down, panting heavily. She reached out to touch her stomach and said, "You little a.s.shole, why are you causing problems at this time?"
"Qiao Mei, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Xia He came to Qiao Mei's side nervously and asked.
"I'm fine. I think this little fellow is feeling unhappy. It's alright, I'll be fine after resting for a while. Let Aunt take a look at my mother first," Qiao Mei said weakly.
There were no plants around here, so Qiao Mei could only rely on the little bit of energy in the bangle to maintain her strength. With the current situation, she would not be able to have any chance to come into contact with plants, nor did she have the chance to go home and absorb the essence of a few ginsengs. She would just have to endure it for now. Once this baby was born, she would give the baby a good spanking!
Liu Yang rushed to Li Gui's ward with his medical kit. Based on the nurse's preliminary examination, it seemed to be a lung problem. There were too many patients in the hospital now, so he had to quickly recall doctors who were on leave to return to the hospital so that everyone could overcome the difficulties together.
"Mei Mei! I'll go in and take a look at your mother first!" Liu Yang did not have time to have a good chat with Qiao Mei. He simply greeted her and rushed in to provide treatment.
Xia Wen cleared the room of people. The curtains of the ward were drawn and everyone sat around nervously. They did not know what illness the doctor from the clinic was talking about and how serious it was. They had never studied medicine and did not know anything about such things.
"Don't worry, I've given my mother some medicine. She'll definitely be fine," Qiao Mei said with a sigh.
"That's good. Do you still have that medicine? I thought you had given it all to my father!" Xia He said.
"There's not much left. Xia Zhe has some and my grandfather has some. What I gave my mother was actually meant for Father. I'll bring some back for Father when we get back," Qiao Mei said.
"Saving a life is more important. This thing is yours to begin with. You can give it to anyone. We're a family," Xia Wen said.
"Why isn't Aunt here yet? Wait for me, I'll go get someone!" Xia He said anxiously.
Xia He hurriedly ran out to look for Xia Fang. At a corner, the two of them almost b.u.mped into each other. Xia Fang held onto the wall and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
"Qiao Mei… Qiao Mei told me just now that her stomach hurts! Aunt, I'm worried! Go take a look!" Xia He said agitatedly.
The two of them raced down the corridor of the hospital. The doctors and nurses around looked at Xia Fang in surprise.
