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.
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.”
