Chapter 253: Chapter 246: Who Will Take Care
The woman on the bed convulsed suddenly as if she had a nightmare.
Before long, Tang Zhinian had gathered everything that Tang Yuxin requested. Who else would know better than him? His Yuxin was a Little Divine Doctor, after all. Over the years, the reason why he had been so fit and free of even the common cold was all because of her.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let his daughter examine this woman. Previously, another doctor had bandaged her wounds, saying she is in a terrible state and suggesting she should just rest. The doctor also suggested to keep food and drink at her disposal. Then wait for her to die?
With no alternative, he had to rely on his daughter. If he were held responsible for the fate of this woman who had fallen at his feet, and had to go to jail, wouldn’t his Little Yuxin be left alone?
Tang Yuxin fetched her medicine box, which Chen Zhong had left behind. It had been used for generations, and upon opening it, the faint fragrance of the wood and various herbs wafted out.
She took out a bottle from inside and pulled a pill from it.
Yes, a divine medicine that would cure the disease.
In reality, it’s not as dramatic. It’s just a health pill made following an ancient formula, much like the Chen family’s Cold Fragrance Pills. It stimulates a fragrance even in bones.
However, while Cold Fragrance Pills are consumed for their scent, health pills are consumed for their health benefits.
Especially for individuals like her, whether she wants to live or die, or is despaired, consuming the health pill may not significantly improve her health, but it can certainly maintain her existence and dispel the emotional stagnation. If consumed consistently, it can calm her emotions. Naturally, the body will also gradually recuperate.
She held a cup, dropped the pill in it, and asked Tang Zhinian to hold the woman up.
“Here, ugly woman, we have medicine for you. Be obedient and open your mouth. Drink it. If you refuse, I’ll have to insert a gastric tube directly through your nose into your stomach. It will be very uncomfortable. Do you understand? If you do, cooperate. Or else I’ll really have to insert the gastric tube.”
Tang Zhinian was dripping with sweat from this threat and couldn’t help but shiver. Does this threat sound like a fate worse than death?
Tang Yuxin held the cup to the woman’s mouth, pouring some in. To her surprise, the woman swallowed, and she even heard a swallowing sound.
Well, that’s a relief. She can swallow. Otherwise, she would really have to find a gastric tube. Any medicine she thought of could be added to it.
Thus, a cup of water was smoothly fed to her.
Tang Yuxin was in a good mood. Yes, she appreciated cooperative patients.
Right now, regardless of the unconscious woman’s will, was she just cooperating due to an instinctual fear, or was it the pressure of Tang Yuxin’s ruthless and severe medical manner?
After setting the woman down and standing up, she took a step back.
“Dad, what are you going to do with her?” She pointed at the ugly woman and asked. Surely, they weren’t planning to keep her?
If anything, they could discuss when she recovers.
Tang Yuxin didn’t mind at all. After all, she considered this a practice patient. Earlier, when she encountered such a disease, she was helpless. But now, she wanted to see to what extent the Chen family’s medical skills could reach.
So, consider her as an experimental subject.
However, there was another matter at hand…
“Dad, who will take care of her?” Tang Yuxin planned her schedule and asked, “I have classes to attend, and I need to revise. I also have to supervise the revision of two people, or even a whole group of people.”
“You cannot,” Tang Zhinian sternly replied, “You should focus hard on your studies. Our Tang family is depending on you. Tang Zhinian pinched his daughter’s face, “If you don’t get good grades this semester, how will you face your grandparents? Beware, your grandparents might rise from their graves to punish their disobedient granddaughter.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuxin wasn’t scared at all. She revered ghosts and spirits, but did not fear them.
She revered ghosts and spirits because she was reborn. She believed that something unknown was protecting her in the dark. If possible, could it be the deceased grandparents who had died many years ago were protecting her?
Now, the question was, who will take care of this woman?
Tang Zhinian pondered, looking as if in mental conflict. Finally, he gritted his teeth.
“Fine, I’ll do it. I’m not going anywhere these days anyway, and I need to accompany your revision for the end-of-semester exams.” Plus, he might as well care for this woman, who almost killed him.
He couldn’t just abandon her outside. That would be inhumane, and he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
“Oh…” Tang Yuxin replied, “You will be giving her medicine.”
She recounted it on her fingers.
Tang Zhinian nodded, “Yes.”
“Help her change her wound dressings, especially the ones on her head,” Tang Yuxin further listed.
Tang Zhinian agreed, “No problem.”
“Help her wash her face, hands, feet, and move her limbs.”
“This…” Tang Zhinian hesitated slightly. After all, he was a man, and she was a woman. But given the situation, they could have Xiangcao come over. Xiangcao had Sisi to look after. Furthermore, Zhijun would return in a few days. They couldn’t possibly separate such a couple. Moreover, it was uncertain when this woman would recover. He could surely ask to borrow Xiangcao for a few days and then return, but he didn’t know how to say it.
“Alright,” he reluctantly agreed. After all, his intentions were pure.
He reached out, picking up a cup from the table. He felt hot and sweaty, soaking his clothes.
At that moment, he truly wished that Tang Yuxin wouldn’t add anything further. The more she said, the more afraid he was. The more she said, the more nervous he felt.
But Tang Yuxin continued to count on her fingers, seemingly recalling something else.
“Dad, you also have to take care of her physiological needs.”
“What, physiological needs?” Tang Zhinian was a little confused for a moment.
She needs to eat, right? Tang Yuxin asked.
“Of course, how can one not eat?”
“And she needs to drink water, right?”
“Yes.”
“She will need to urinate, and also defecate. Oh, right, she also has her monthly cycles.”
