Chapter 247: Low Blood Sugar
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Luo Ying!” Lu Zhao climbed the stairs and reached out to catch Luo Ying, who was on the verge of collapsing.
He could not care less about the water on the ground. He knelt on the ground, hugging her with one hand while dialing Wen Yu’s number with the other.
“I…” The blackness engulfed Luo Ying’s mind, and she was rendered speechless.
An hour later.
“Anemia?!” Lu Zhao’s expression darkened dramatically as he heard Wen Yu’s prognosis from the hallway.
“Yes, she probably didn’t eat much at the annual party tonight, so she fainted from low blood sugar. I have already started her on a glucose drip and injected her with a heart stimulant. When she wakes up, her blood sugar will be back to normal, and she’ll be fine.” Wen Yu hesitated for a second. “More seriously concerning, however, is the fact that the recent examination revealed that she shows mild signs of anemia. It is peculiar, because she usually pays attention to her diet and takes iron supplements.”
Wen Yu was holding the report. The numbers on it were very detailed, but she had some doubts in her heart that she couldn’t shake.
She was very clear about Luo Yings physical condition. She had no underlying diseases that would cause her to be anemic, nor did she have any dietary issues that would cause her to be anemic. How could she be anemic after not seeing her for six months?
Wen Yu suddenly remembered the blood of the poison master’s daughter that she had obtained unexpectedly back then, and a faint suspicion surfaced in her heart. It was a bold assumption, though. Without any supporting evidence, she was afraid to say it. To confirm it, she had to return to the lab.
“I understand.” Lu Zhao nodded and stepped aside to let Wen Yu go first.
He rubbed his aching hangover forehead and became suspicious.
Luo Ying, in his opinion, had never been sick. There was nothing out of the ordinary about Luo Yings overseas schedule, according to the reports from his subordinates. How did she suddenly develop a mild form of anemia?
Lu Zhao planned to find some time to talk to Jin Shi.
This issue of anemia was not a simple one. He wanted to know what had happened to Luo Ying.
The faint vibration of her phone jolted Luo Ying awake.
The room was completely dark at this point. The bedside lamp cast a faint yellow glow, and the gaps between the thick curtains shone dimly.
She struggled to open her eyes in the darkness and saw the room’s familiar furnishings. It was Lu Zhao’s room. Did she pass out because of low blood sugar?
Luo Ying sighed as she looked down at the IV drip on the back of her hand.
Luo Ying had noticed a decline in her physical condition over the previous six months. She was more prone to illness and could not handle strenuous exercise.
These were all caused by the monthly blood draw. After all, the human body would need time to recover from a sudden blood loss. Even blood donation required a year’s wait. The monthly blood draw would undoubtedly have an impact on the human body.
Luo Ying was well aware of this. She had, however, always kept it well hidden. She paid close attention to her diet and nutrition in order to avoid flaws in front of her brothers.
The thing is, she skipped lunch yesterday and didn’t eat much at the annual party last night. She stayed up late and became irritated with Lu Zhao. She most likely fainted due to low blood sugar.
Luo Ying had figured it out before she passed out.
Lu Zhao would undoubtedly summon Wen Yu to investigate the low blood sugar, but low blood sugar was a common occurrence. He probably wouldn’t look any further, right?
Luo Ying hoped for a chance.
“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”
The phone at the bedside vibrated once more. A new call came in.
Luo Ying picked up her phone. It was a call from Chi Tong.
“Hello? Chi Tong?”
It was already the morning of the next day. Chi Min, who had no idea what had happened the day before, was hard at work. He called Luo Ying to discuss his schedule..
“I’ve gone through them. There are a few more suitable resources in my hands.
The first one is . . . ” On the other end of the phone, Chi Tong flipped through the information and spoke at length.
Luo Ying lowered her head, listening intently. The door was suddenly pushed open.
Lu Zhao had prepared breakfast and had come over with a tray by chance.
Luo Ying was already awake and talking on the phone, so he kept his mouth shut. He simply placed the plate on the table and set the small table for Luo Ying.
“I’ll pass on sports variety shows for now. I’ll set up the stage once the new year arrives. Yes, sure. Send me the script first…” Luo Ying was discussing with Chi Tong.
Lu Zhao heard Luo Yings words and immediately made the connection, though he couldn’t be sure if his suspicion was due to his recent discovery of her anemia.
Luo Ying used to love performing on stage. Why was she holding back?
She was avoiding heavy physical activity.. Was it a coincidence? Was she actually aware of her physical condition?
