138 138 Listen to Xiao Rou

Tan Rou’s heart ached for Tao Qi, but at this moment, she had to force herself to calm down and show her professionalism. She couldn’t be affected by her personal feelings. Otherwise, if she hesitated when inserting the needle, it would be easy to make mistakes.

Tan Rou looked at the acupuncture point and made a quick decision. She quickly inserted several silver needles into Tao Qi’s head and arm.

Tao Zheng’s brow furrowed, his heart uneasy.

Acupuncture was the specialty of Chinese medicine. The knowledge was profound. Tan Rou’s acupuncture must not cause any problems. However, there were no patterns or orders to how she was inserting the needle. Would this actually work?

Tao Qi cried so hard that he was almost out of breath. In his daze, he felt that he might die from Tan Rou’s acupuncture instead of his illness.

This woman wouldn’t take this opportunity to take revenge on him, right? She actually took out so many needles and was randomly stabbing him!

Tao Qi’s entire body was covered in sweat as he continued to writhe in Tao Zheng’s arms. However, his breathing was gradually weakening, and he was making a hoarse sound like an old accordion. His eyes were shut weakly.

Tao Zheng hugged Tao Qi tightly. Even though he was nervous, the needles had already been inserted, so he couldn’t let Tao Qi move around. It would be bad if it was inserted in the wrong place.

The tense atmosphere felt like years had passed. Tan Rou stared at Tao Qi closely after she finished the acupuncture, observing the changes in him.

Tao Zheng said hesitantly, “Why isn’t there any reaction? Why don’t we hurry to the hospital?”

Tan Rou’s expression was calm. “Don’t panic. It’ll be effective soon.”

Tao Zheng’s heart was burning with anxiety as he looked at Tao Qi in his arms.

Just then, Mr. And Mrs. Tao’s voice came from downstairs.

“Huh?” Mrs. Tao asked, confused. “Where are the kids?”

“Mom!” Tao Zheng shouted from upstairs. “We’re here in Little Qi’s room. He’s sick!”

“What?” Mrs. Tao was shocked and ran upstairs, followed by Mr. Tao.

At first, Mr. And Mrs. Tao were shocked by the broken door. Then, they saw Tao Qi in Tao Zheng’s arms and broke out in a cold sweat from his pitiful look.

Mrs. Tao’s tears fell immediately. She ran to the bed and shouted anxiously, “What’s wrong with little Qi? Hurry! Let’s go to the hospital!”

Tao Zheng was about to carry Tao Qi up, but Tan Rou stopped him. “Don’t, it’s best not to move him now!”

Then, Tan Rou hugged Mother Tao who was in a daze. “Mom, I don’t know what Xiaoqi ate but he’s allergic to something. I just finished performing acupuncture on him, so I need some time.”

Mother Tao was a little stunned. She looked at the silver needles on Tao Qi’s body hesitantly. She knew that Xiao Rou was skilled in medicine, but Xiao Qi’s condition. Her love for her son made Mrs. Tao’s heart very conflicted.

Tao Zheng looked at his parents hesitantly, hoping that they would try to persuade Tan Rou. At this point, it wasn’t a matter of whether he believed in her medical skills. Saving their brother was more important.

Mr. Tao was still calm. Although his eyes were filled with worry for Tao Qi, he still said calmly, “Let’s just listen to Rou. I believe in her.”

Mr. Tao already knew that Tan Rou had been acknowledged by Bai Jing and was recommended to treat Zhuang Liu.

He had a general understanding of his daughter’s skills and so he trusted Tan Rou.

Mrs. Tao glanced at Mr. Tao and remembered what her husband had told her. She felt a little comforted and let out a long sigh of relief. She looked at Tan Rou with teary eyes and asked, “Xiao Rou, how is your brother?”

Seeing that his parents had chosen to believe Tan Rou and seemed to be at ease, Tao Zheng was a little puzzled. However, since things had come to this, he could only do as he was told.

Tan Rou took a closer look at Tao Qi. Knowing that his condition was almost under control, she was relieved and explained to Mr. And Mrs. Tao, “He wasn’t feeling well when he got home, but I didn’t notice it at the time. When I realised something was wrong, this silly child had already locked himself in the room for a long time. His allergic reaction had been serious and the situation was urgent. If we went to the hospital, he might suffocate and go into shock midway. This is why I decided to go with acupuncture first.”

Father Tao frowned. “An allergy? Could it be that Tao Qi had dinner with Tan Jing and ate something?”

Mrs. Tao clutched her chest in heartache. “Where did they go for dinner? Little Qi is only allergic to mushrooms!”

Tan Rou’s eyes were cold as she frowned. “We can only ask him when he’s better or, we could ask Tan Jing.”

Just as they were talking, Tao Qi, who was in Tao Zheng’s arms, said weakly, ” No... It’s not Sister Jingjing’s fault.”

Everyone heard the voice and quickly turned to look at Tao Qi.

Mrs. Tao anxiously went over to hold Tao Qi’s small hand. “Little Qi, mommy’s here. Are you feeling better?”
