Chapter 548: Chapter 548 I will not take her away_1
The doctor asked her what she had eaten the night before. Bai Lanwu, who had already rushed back, said: “We had a hotpot meal last night, although she didn’t eat much. She didn’t look like she had much appetite during the meal. How did she end up with acute gastroenteritis? I thought she was just having a common fever when she mentioned about a headache. This has now delayed the diagnosis of her illness…”
Deep down, Bai Lanwu was full of self-blame.
After reviewing the medical report, the doctor said: “It might have been caused by the hotpot meal. I’ll prescribe some IV fluids for her. Let her rest as much as possible. I am in Building 8, if anything comes up, call me directly.”
Bai Lanwu nodded: “Thank you, Doctor.”
“You’re welcome.”
It was not until the doctor was at the door of the villa that he asked Xia Ye Zhao, “Brother Xia, this girl’s health indicators, how come they’re the same as your sister? They don’t coincide with those of normal people. And she isn’t Ye Jun Qing’s official wife. Why are you so worried? It was leaked online once that you two supposedly had an affair. It’s not true, is it?”
This doctor, named Xu Ya, was a friend of Xia Ye Zhao’s.
Xia Ye Zhao had never intended to hide his sister’s existence, so he said: “Stop talking nonsense, she is my sister as well, a long-lost one. Your father once treated her illness.”
Xia Yanyan’s bone marrow transplant was performed by Xu Ya’s father, so Xu Ya also knew about the ugly mermaid of the Xia family, who had never been made public by the Xia family due to her ugly tail. This could be considered a secret history of the rich and influential Xia family.
Xu Ya figured it out in an instant: “So, she’s the one…”
Recalling his sister’s self-esteem issues due to her unattractive tail, Xia Ye Zhao interrupted Xu Ya: “I asked you to treat her to avoid unnecessary trouble. Please don’t tell anyone about her physical discrepancies with normal people for now. Just do your doctor’s job properly and treat her well.”
Xu Ya, holding his mouth for a while, then returned to normal. With both hands in his white coat pockets, he said: “Rest assured, we, the Xus, always know how to keep our mouths shut. We never blab about the secrets of many prominent families. But how ugly is your sister’s tail that your parents disliked her so much in the first place? I never thought the rumored mermaid girl was actually a fish!”
Xia Ye Zhao was annoyed, staring fiercely at Xu Ya: “Swallow back the ‘ugly’ word you just said about her, or you’ll pay for it!”
His sister Xia Ye Zhao, even if her tail wasn’t beautiful, couldn’t tolerate other people’s derogatory comments!
Besides, although the little sister’s tail isn’t beautiful, she is a beauty. Her face after she washed was divine enough to overthrow cities and nations the last time they went to an island together!
Xu Ya smacked his own mouth a couple of times, waving his hand, and left, thinking to himself, she is quite a looker, could it be just the tail that’s ugly?
After Xu Ya left, Xia Ye Zhao returned to the villa.
Bai Lanwu checked the time; with all the fuss, it was already half-past nine in the evening.
Bai Lanwu said: “Xia Ye, you can go back, I can take care of Xingguang here.”
Xia Ye Zhao replied: “It’s okay, I’ll stay here with her. These two IV bags will probably last until eleven or twelve at night. I’ll wait until she’s finished with them before I leave. You go sleep early. I’m here, so you don’t have to worry about her.”
Seeing that Bai Lanwu wanted to refuse, Xia Ye Zhao added: “Please give me a chance to take care of her. I’ve been…feeling guilty all these years. And don’t say she’s not my sister, Auntie. I won’t take away the daughter you’ve raised with much hardship.”
