Chapter 843
“I can walk by myself. I’m fine now. Instead, it’s you…”
Before Ye Xingguang could finish her sentence, Ye Junqing kicked shut the passenger door, picked her up in a bridal carry, and strode quickly into the emergency room where the doctors were already standing by.
He placed her on a gurney, shook his head, and said, “Get her checked. She fell down the stairs and was unconscious for a full two minutes, her gaze unfocused, vomiting, and breaking out in a cold sweat…”
The doctor wrote up an order and told Ye Junqing to go register. He took it and was about to do so when he caught a glimpse of her attempting to get off the gurney. Suddenly, a fierce glare shot her way, “If you dare to get down, I’ll beat you to death!”
Ye Xingguang’s foot had already touched the ground, but at his words, she quickly withdrew it.
Seeing this, Ye Junqing strode out of the emergency room to the registration desk.
Xu Ya approached the mobile bed and checked Ye Xingguang’s arms and legs to make sure none were dislocated or fractured. Then, using a special ophthalmoscope, she checked Ye Xingguang’s eyes before asking, “Besides falling down the stairs, is there anything else?”
“Dr. Xu, I’m fine now. I just suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach earlier. It was terribly painful, and then I felt dizzy and blurred; after vomiting, I felt much better.”
Xu Ya pressed her hands on Ye Xingguang’s stomach, “Where does it hurt, here, here, or here?”
“Here.” Ye Xingguang pressed the spot that had previously hurt.
“What did you eat tonight?”
“Hotpot, beer, milk, and brown sugar rice cakes…”
Xu Ya glanced at her, “Hotpot again? Have you forgotten about the acute gastroenteritis from last time? The vomiting and diarrhea?”
Lying on the mobile bed, Ye Xingguang’s concerns dwelled on Ye Junqing, whose old illness had flared up. But with the hospital busy with people coming and going, she just wanted to get the stubborn man who insisted on coming here out of the place. “Doctor, I’m really fine. Please let me go…”
In the midst of speaking, Ye Junqing had already completed the registration and returned to hand the form to the emergency room nurse, then walked towards her.
Xu Ya continued pressing on her stomach, “Does it hurt like this?”
“It doesn’t hurt.”noveldrama
“What about now?”
“Still doesn’t hurt.”
Xu Ya concluded, “We’ll draw some blood first and do an ultrasound. You have a sensitive stomach, so you should really avoid hotpot and spicy food. It could be an acute gastric spasm. Nurse, come draw some blood. I’ll write up an ultrasound order to check if there’s anything else.”
Ye Junqing stood by, his face stern and silent.
Before leaving, Xu Ya glanced at Ye Junqing, “What’s wrong with you? You look worse than she does. Lie down, and I’ll check you.”
“No need.” Ye Junqing waved his hand, his face frosty, “Just go write up her form.”
At that moment, the head nurse came over to draw blood from Ye Xingguang. Seeing the needle pierce her hand, Ye Junqing’s heart clenched as if the needle had entered his own heart. Subconsciously, he reached out to cover her eyes.
Watching her red blood being drawn, something primal stirred within Ye Junqing, like a beast longing to break out of its cage, desperate to suck in a breath. Damn it, he clenched his hand tightly, letting the pain of his nails digging into his skin provide a moment of lucidity.
