Chapter 843 - 824: Admit Her to the Hospital Immediately
Qin Mobai insisted on bringing Lou Xi to the hospital for a check-up.
Only by identifying the cause of Lou Xi’s discomfort through both Western and Chinese medical methods could they tailor the treatment and help her recover quickly.
"Didn’t Doctor Wei examine me yesterday? Why do I need to come to the hospital again?" Lou Xi murmured, her irritability, which had been building since yesterday, was so pronounced that she was easily angered.
"A thorough check-up is good for your health."
Unable to argue with Qin Mobai, Lou Xi could only comply with his arrangement and go for the check-up.
The hospital, usually bustling, was unusually quiet today, as if someone had cleared the way on purpose.
No doubt about it, Qin Mobai surely had the place cleared, so Lou Xi’s examinations could be completed quickly, leaving them to just wait for the test results.
The blood test results would be ready in half an hour, but other tests would take three days to a week.
However, the blood work alone revealed something unusual.
"Mrs. Qin’s white blood cell count is low, and her blood clotting ability is poor. Also, has Mrs. Qin been taking sedatives for a long time?" the doctor asked Lou Xi while holding the blood test report.
"No," Qin Mobai answered for her. He knew Lou Xi could sleep well without sedatives, so it was absurd to suggest she was taking them.
"But some of her indicators are off. Specifically... we’ll need to wait for the other reports before we can conclude," the doctor said, preferring to wait for all the results before consulting on Lou Xi’s condition.
Suddenly, Lou Xi remembered something serious, "A few days ago, Xi Siwei injected me with something..."
"What did he inject? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?" Qin Mobai frowned, visibly tense.
"I thought it was just a simple sedative, I didn’t expect anything else..."
"You thought?" Qin Mobai retorted, agitated, even alarming the doctor sitting in the chair. Qin Mobai seemed somewhat terrifying.
Lou Xi bowed her head, unsure of how to respond to Qin Mobai.
What she didn’t know was that, every night when she succumbed to sleep, a bodyguard would sneak into her room and give her an injection in her arm.
She always thought Xi Siwei only gave her one shot and that it wasn’t serious.
Little did she know...
Qin Mobai, likely stifled with anger, stopped speaking to Lou Xi.
He turned to the doctor, "Arrange for her to be hospitalized immediately. Get all the reports as fast as possible, and arrange for specialists to consult on her case. If she suffers any loss, this hospital better be prepared to shut down."
The doctor, shocked by Qin Mobai’s sudden aggression, became nervous, "We’ll arrange for Mrs. Qin to be hospitalized right away!"
In just over ten minutes, Lou Xi was moved from the doctor’s office to a special care ward, and due to her low white blood cell count, stem cell transplants were scheduled immediately.
When the needle pierced Lou Xi’s arm, she recalled the sensation of Xi Siwei inserting the needle that day—it hurt.
Involuntarily, she clenched her fist.
The nurse’s hand trembled, and the needle missed its mark, causing blood to seep from the punctured skin, intensifying the pain in Lou Xi’s hand.
"I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional," the head nurse quickly apologized.
Qin Mobai, already frustrated, became even more irritated seeing the nurse hurt Lou Xi’s hand.
"Sorry, it was my fault for clenching my fist," Lou Xi apologized to Mayor Hu before Qin Mobai could speak.
