Chapter 738: Warmth in Sickness, I Love You Far More Than I Thought (1)

Yunjin Prime Manor…

After messaging Jing Hanchuan, Fu Chen turned his head to look at the person curled up on the sofa who had just finished the video call.

“What happened? Why is Miss Tang hospitalized?”

“I don’t know what she ate or touched, but she had an allergic reaction. It’s quite serious.” Song Fengwan was still a little worried. “No wonder I thought her neck was red in the video call just now.”

Fu Chen nodded. “She should be fine.”

“It seemed to have suddenly acted up in the night. Cousin was probably scared to death.” Song Fengwan’s legs were curled up, and her chin was resting on her knees. “My aunt-in-law had an attack during the night, and she left not long after.”

Fu Chen didn’t have much of an impression about this. Qiao Xiyan’s mother had passed away before Old Master Qiao. It was said that she wasn’t even thirty years old. He had only heard his parents mention that someone wanted to propose marriage to Qiao Wangbei. After all, the child was young and couldn’t be without a mother. He had rebuked them angrily.

“What illness?”

“I’m not sure about the details. I’ve never seen Auntie at all. I only saw the photos at Uncle’s house.” Song Fengwan was much younger than Qiao Xiyan. Before she was born, her aunt-in-law had already left.

“I accidentally found the photos in a cabinet. She was very beautiful.

“Anyway, I heard from my mom that when Uncle was busy with the funeral, he didn’t eat or drink for four or five days. He didn’t sleep at all either. After the funeral, he was hospitalized and almost followed her.”

Fu Chen nodded. Qiao Wangbei should love her a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have no intention of marrying someone else all these years.

At the time, he was still young, and the Qiao family was also at its peak. Even if someone went over to be a stepmother, many people would probably be willing.

“My mom said that back then, in order to woo Aunt, Uncle went to the southwest mountains all day. At the time, transportation was inconvenient, so he ran for two to three months. Grandpa even had the thought of letting him marry into another family.

Fu Chen only listened quietly…

Qiao Wangbei was born too strict and sharp. Even his natural edges and corners made people feel that he was mean. Fu Chen really couldn’t imagine what it was like for Qiao Wangbei to be in love.

Perhaps no one else in this world could make him gentle and affectionate.

In a county town in the northwest…

Actually, Tang Jingci had been hospitalized last night. The two of them had been running around outside and stayed in a farmhouse. Tang Jingci had shared a bed with the farmer’s daughter.

During the day, she had felt that her entire body was a little itchy, but she didn’t pay much attention to it. When she felt drowsy, she couldn’t take it anymore and fell asleep with her head stuck to the pillow.

In her dream, it was as if she had fallen into a swamp. Her entire body was covered in mud, and it was painful and itchy. Her mouth and nose were covered, and the more she struggled, the more painful it was. It was extremely uncomfortable.

The young lady beside her was a light sleeper. When she heard her babbling in her sleep and saw her forehead full of sweat under the moonlight, she thought that she had a nightmare and wanted to wake her up. But she discovered that her entire body was hot. When she turned on the lights, she noticed that the back of her hand was red and swollen. She jumped out of bed without even putting on her shoes and called for help.

Qiao Xiyan wasn’t asleep yet. He ran over and saw her red face, hot sweat all over her body, and scary red lumps on her neck. He immediately felt that something was wrong. He wrapped her in a coat and carried her into his car.

He first went to the health center in the village. The doctor on duty said that it might be an allergy, but he had never seen a condition so serious. He didn’t dare to give her medicine and asked him to bring her to the county hospital.

“Her condition is too serious. She’s had an allergic reaction, and it can kill her. Hurry up and drive over. Don’t waste time. I’m also worried that she has food poisoning. I’m afraid that she won’t be able to last…”

In the car, Qiao Xiyan tried to wake her up. Tang Jingci was lying in the backseat, her body limp and covered in sweat. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and she was groaning in pain.

Qiao Xiyan panicked, and his heart trembled. He wished he could suffer in her stead.

He inexplicably remembered that when he was young, his father had also carried his mother into a car in the middle of the night. Later, he returned with her because the doctor had implied that it was already hopeless and asked him to bring her back.

The doctor’s words just now were like a giant rock pressing down on him, making him unable to breathe.

It took an hour and a half to drive to the county hospital. Qiao Xiyan didn’t even know how he had driven there.

Fortunately, the doctor on duty handled this kind of situation with familiarity and immediately prescribed medicine for her, including an externally applied one. Although they didn’t work immediately, they could provide her with some relief.

Tang Jingci was not conscious most of the time.

She had no idea how much Qiao Xiyan had done that night. From her checking in and being hospitalized to her IV drip infusion, he had accompanied her every step of the way, never leaving her side.

When her condition improved, it was already four in the morning.

When Tang Jingci woke up, it was already noon the next day. Her mind was a mess, and she didn’t know where she was.
