Chapter 238: 174 Snuggling in the same bed for warmth, awkward encounters (2 more updates)

Jiang Yanting had just run desperately holding Shen Zhixian, his back already covered in sweat, as he stood at the door of the examination room, his heart anxiously burning, the warmth unabated.

Yet with just a few sparse words, he was chilled to the core.

The phrase “incurable,” once spoken, always seemed linked to terminal illness, inevitably terrifying.

“This is just a preliminary diagnosis, the specific condition will only be known after a detailed examination,” Zhou Zhongqing patted his shoulder.

Though it was a preliminary diagnosis, words from an authority like Zhou Zhongqing were almost certainly accurate.

“This illness…”

“Generally, it’s major postpartum hemorrhage, accompanied by prolonged shock, leading to hypoxia and degenerative necrosis of the anterior pituitary tissue, which then induces fibrosis…” Zhou Zhongqing briefly educated him, “It’s not any kind of cancer, and as long as you take care of it routinely and take some hormonal medications, it can be alleviated.”

Jiang Yanting’s lips tightened, his expression tense, his eyes darkening, seemingly even more intense than the night.

“Such a disease manifestation includes insomnia, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting, so fainting is also normal.”

…

At this time, other doctors in the examination room also came out, and after a brief discussion of the condition with Zhou Zhongqing and finding similar hormonal medication in Shen Zhixian’s bag, the diagnosis was essentially confirmed.

Jiang Yanting thanked each doctor individually, and Zhou Zhongqing then patted his arm, “Although this disease can’t be cured, it can be controlled and eased. The most important thing is for the patient to keep a happy mood and not worry too much.”

“Thank you, Uncle Zhou.”

“She is Jiangjiang’s…”

Jiang Yanting did not respond.

“I’m not the kind of person who gossips, go see her, and it might be best to have her stay in the hospital tomorrow for a thorough examination.”

“I know.”

When Jiang Yanting entered the room, Shen Zhixian’s arm was hooked up to an IV, and she was sleeping soundly. He sat by the bed, looking at her, not able to describe what he felt.

Severe hemorrhage, prolonged shock, what on earth happened back then?

The infusion continued until after two in the morning.

Shen Zhixian was not sleeping peacefully, drifting in and out, and Jiang Yanting put her just-infused arm under the quilt, his gaze lingering on her pale face, his eyes tightening.

Obsessively thinking of the person going mad with disease right in front of him, even his usual calm and restraint had shattered upon learning of her sickness.

“Xianxian?”

Jiang Yanting called her for a long time with no response, so he could only wrap her and the quilt together and hold her in his arms, supporting her shoulders as he fed her medicine.

Her lips were pale, nearly colorless, tightly pursed, her brow furrowed, clearly in discomfort.

Jiang Yanting brought the medicine to her lips.

His voice was gentle, like cajoling a child, “Good—open your mouth.”
