Warmth typed the last word on the keyboard. His tensed expression finally relaxed a little.

"Phew … It's finally better now that you've starved me to death …"

After keeping the documents, he covered his stomach and looked out the window. It was already pitch black outside. Even the Tang clan office building across the street only had a few lights left.

It was almost 11 o'clock, no wonder she was so hungry. Today, after getting up, she had eaten two pieces of cake, a cup of milk, and a pot of tea on the table. Other than that, she hadn't eaten anything!

He didn't think much of it before when all his attention was on the script, but now he looked at his hands that were shaking with hunger and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

She remembered the last time she was hungry and trembling when she was studying abroad. At that time, she didn't have much money on hand, and the cost of working was very low, so she was worried that she wouldn't be able to save enough money to pay for the tuition fees for the next semester. Therefore, she only ate one meal a day, and it wasn't even proper food.

During that time, her hands were shaking almost every day. It was only after she found the second part-time job with a relatively high salary and the school's research department's subsidy that she could have a better life.

She didn't expect that after so many years, she would once again experience the feeling of her hands shaking from hunger.

She was afraid that she was too weak to hold the spatula, so she directly opened the refrigerator. She wanted to find something edible to put on her belly first so that she could at least stop shaking her damn hand.

However, the fridge was filled with ingredients that needed to be processed. The only things that could be eaten directly were the lactic acid bacteria beverages that were half drunk from the refrigerator and the ice beverages that he drank from his mouth.

Nikki hesitated for a moment before taking out her drink. It was sweet. When one was hungry, eating something sweet was the best way to relieve the hunger.

The moment the sour, sweet, and cold lactic acid bacteria reached her stomach, it stimulated her whole body to go cold. But fortunately, her hand stopped shaking after the bottle went down.

She looked down at the time on her watch. It was past eleven o'clock, and at this time of day, in a business center full of office buildings, perhaps only a convenience store opened twenty-four hours a day would be able to find food.

Nikki remembered that there was such a convenience store on the first floor of the Tang Mansion.

She didn't waste anymore time, picked up her purse and left. After going downstairs, she headed straight for the convenience store.

Although the convenience store was open 24 hours a day, there were very few customers at night, so most of the products sold during the day were out of stock at night.

At first, Nikki wanted to buy some food to eat, but after drinking the hot soup, she felt warm all over. When she arrived at the convenience store, she found that there was only a string of fish balls left, and the soup was spicy.

He had no choice but to buy the last string of fish balls. The employee felt embarrassed and passionately filled him with spicy broth. Then, he took two rice balls from the freezer in the convenience store. That way, he could barely handle a meal.

After returning to the apartment, she heated up the rice ball slightly and wolfed down the food. Then, she drank the entire bowl of hot and spicy soup. In the cold winter night, Su Tong started to sweat profusely.

After eating and washing up, she felt completely relaxed. Not long after lying down on the bed, she fell asleep, but after sleeping for a while, she felt a wave of discomfort in her stomach. Her entire stomach was burning up, and she curled up into a ball, pressing her hands against her stomach, hoping to alleviate some of the symptoms.

He took out his cell phone and checked. It was 3 AM in the morning. It would be daybreak soon. When the pharmacy downstairs opened, he could buy some stomach medicine at any time.

She closed her eyes, and shrunk herself down to the size of a shrimp. She had thought it would be easier to fall asleep this way, but the burning sensation in her stomach was really annoying. It was not that painful, it was just that she felt uncomfortable.

She tossed and turned the bed, trying her best to think of a way to fall asleep, but no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep. Listening to the alarm clock on the bedside, she felt that the time was extremely hard to bear, and after tormenting herself for a long time, she once again took out her phone to check the time, but it was only half an hour.

Covering her stomach, she bent over and got up from the bed. Supporting herself with the banister, she walked down to the living room with much difficulty. After turning on all the lights in the room, she went to the kitchen to heat up some hot water for herself, hoping that drinking some hot water would relieve the discomfort in her stomach.

He leaned against the wall of the kitchen and waited for the hot water to boil. He first poured a cup of hot water onto the counter, then found a hot water bottle and poured the rest of the hot water into it. Finally, he placed the hot water bottle over his stomach.

The air in the hot water bottle was much more comfortable. He let out a long breath, hugged the hot water bottle in one hand, and the teacup in the other. He then sat down on the sofa in the living room.

She wrapped her legs around the sofa and pressed a pillow against the hot water bottle. This way, by pressing her elbow against the pillow, she could ensure that the hot water bottle didn't fall off.

After drinking a few sips of hot water at the beginning, Su Wen felt much more comfortable, but after a while, she felt the burning sensation in her stomach become even more intense. Furthermore, she also felt nauseous, after retching once, her stomach felt as if there was acid in it that could flow out from her mouth at any time.

She quickly put the teacup in her hand on the tea table, and then pulled the trash can over to the side, just in case she needed something in the future. After doing all this, she leaned against the armrest of the sofa, and then she laid down on the bed. Luckily, the air conditioner in the room wasn't too cold, otherwise she would have caught a cold after lying on the sofa for a while.

She wanted to find someone who could give her the medicine, but after a few rounds, she was unable to find anyone. It was either too far away, or their relationship was not good enough, and in the middle of the night, she had to dig someone out of the bed to give her the medicine. Without a certain level of friendship, she was too embarrassed to open her mouth.

There were only a few people she knew in this city.

A Hua was her editor. For the past few years, everyone had worked together and felt pretty good, but their relationship was mostly online and on the phone. In real life, they only met once every year at the annual meeting.

Web Site Operation Little Liu? Forget about it. They had only known each other for a few days, and they hadn't even spoken a few words. He was still a man, it would be nonsense for him to deliver medicine in the middle of the night.

Professor Chen? Who would get their master to deliver medicine in the middle of the night? Besides, Professor Chen was already so old. Most importantly, other than this teacher and student duo, they had no other emotional basis.

Apart from the three of them, this was the only person she knew in this city.

As she thought of this, Nikki unconsciously looked across at the Tang Dynasty building. Her finger hovered over Tang Banyeng's name for a moment, but after a few moments of hesitation, she still tossed her phone onto the tea table.

Forget it, it's just that my stomach is a little uncomfortable, it's not a big deal. It'll be over after a while, why bother others?

Nikki held the thermos tighter and laid on the sofa, trying to comfort herself. Soon, soon, it would be four o'clock and the pharmacy would open in a few hours.

However, Warmth had not expected that she would actually boil herself into an acute gastroenteritis after enduring so much.

When Tang Baifeng looked over from his office and saw that Nikki was lying on the sofa motionlessly for a long time, and no one answered the phone, he realized something was wrong. He quickly ran to the apartment building across the street and found the manager to force open the door, but he was already unconscious on the sofa.

Tang BIngfeng couldn't wait for the ambulance to arrive. He personally carried the man and ran down the stairs. He ran through who knows how many red lights before he sent the man into the emergency room in the shortest time possible.

Outside the emergency room, Tang Bainfeng paced back and forth anxiously.

"Can this woman take care of herself or not? Why does she keep making trouble for me?"

As he muttered these words, the moment the doctor came out of the emergency room, Tang Bainfeng immediately went forward to greet him.

"Doctor, how is it?"

Nothing serious, it's just an acute gastroenteritis caused by improper diet. It might be a little cold, but the patient has a fever, and has now been given an anti-fever and anti-vomiting needle. She will stay in the hospital for a day to observe. After which, pay attention to rest and balanced diet!

With that, the doctor turned around and left. The doctors in the emergency department were usually very busy, so where would they find the time to stay here all the time?

It wasn't easy to enter the emergency room, but a nurse was soon pushing the still unconscious Nikki out of the emergency room and into the ward to observe her condition. Since she was only staying there for a day, Tang Bainfeng didn't ask the nurse to arrange another ward, but rather allowed the nurse to push her into a normal ward for two.

When Tang BIngfeng followed the nurse into the ward, he discovered that there was an old woman in her fifties already there. When she saw them enter, she even greeted them warmly.
