Chapter 88 - Karma is a bitch. (1/2)

Even after drinking a few sips of water, Zeng Shihong's breathing was erratic. Watching him in this condition Xion got panicked, ”Grandpa where is your inhaler?”

He went for pant pockets of Zeng Shihong to search for his emergency inhaler. ”Dammit! It's not here… Grandpa…. ??”

Zeng Shihong was not in a condition to answer any of his questions. Breathing heavily he clutched his chest as he pointed out with his finger towards the side table of bed. Xion noticed the direction of his finger and ran towards it to get the inhaler.

With trembling hands, he pulled the first drawer, in his anxiousness Xion used so much force that the drawer comes out causing its contents to fall down on the floor.

After taking medicine he was still panting, but his struggle for breath stopped. He looked at Xion with drooping eyes, as he pushed the inhaler away from his mouth.

”No more?”

Zeng Shihong shook his head lightly, while still concentrating on his breath.

”I'll call the doctor to examine you”, he takes out his phone from his pocket, but before he could dial Zeng Shihong stopped him, ”No… No need to call the doctor, I'm fine.”
