Chapter 14 - It’s Only Because of Hypoglycemia (1/2)
Proofreader: Zhou Zhijie
The attending doctor who treated Xia Wanyan formerly is performing an operation. So Li Qiaosheng has to find another doctor who looks relatively free in the corridor to check Xia Wanyan’s condition.
Actually, Xia Wanyan just pretends to be ill so she feels uneasy and worried when she finds that the doctor is unknown.
“It’s no big deal. She probably gets the palpitation out of some shock. Take it easy, young man. Your girlfriend is rather healthy except that she is a little weak. Don’t worry!” This doctor is a senior who comforts Li Qiaosheng with a smile.
However, Li feels somehow uneasy on hearing the word “girlfriend” and explains subconsciously, “I’m married. And she is just one of my younger sisters.”
“Oh. Sorry to have mistaken your relationship!” The doctor feels a little awkward and is about to leave with an apologetic expression on his face.
But Li stops him, “Wait a moment, doctor. Does my sister get…”
Before the word “anemia” comes out of his mouth, Xia Wanyan’s face has already turned terribly pale out of fear.
Last moment, she is still disturbed by Qiaosheng calling her sister. The next second, she interrupts Qiaosheng’s words in panic, “Brother Qiaosheng, I ate quite little for lunch so maybe I feel so dizzy just because of hypoglycemia. Could you please go and buy me some tasty food downstairs?”
“OK. I’ll be back in a minute.”
The pampering expression returns to Li Qiaosheng’s face. After patting her little head, he turns to leave the ward.
The only difference is that the moment he steps out of the ward, his face turns expressionless. He catches up with that doctor in several long strides and continues to ask about Xia Wanyan’s illness. “Doctor, I wanted to ask you whether you found that she suffers from aplastic anemia.”
“What? Aplastic anemia? No! Your sister doesn’t have a single symptom of anemia.”
“Then why does she often feel dizzy? And her former attending doctor made this diagnosis and told us that she could only survive by getting transfusion continually. And her blood type happens to be Rh-negative so….” Li Qiaosheng’s face becomes sullen when he hears the doctor’s answer.
