Chapter 948 - 940: A Prescription
Xiao Yifei’s injury was very severe. He only woke up after 16 hours of sleep. When he slowly opened his eyes and hadn’t grasped what had happened to him, the nurse taking care of him said, "Doctor Xiao, you finally woke up. You scared me to death all day and night. This is the first time I’ve seen a doctor so exhausted after surgery."
Xiao Yifei listened to the nurse babbling about something, but he didn’t hear a single word she said. His head hurt so much it felt like it was about to explode, and he clearly felt his blood vessels pounding fiercely. He wanted to sit up, but suddenly realized he couldn’t muster any strength in his arm; he felt like his body didn’t belong to him.
The nurse came over to help him sit up, but he gently shook his head and refused her offer. He didn’t want anyone to see how weak he was now.
So he asked the nurse to buy him some food, sending her out of the room temporarily.
He cautiously moved his body and discovered that even moving a finger made him tremble. How did it get this serious? In his memory, his grandfather seemed to have had a similar condition, but it was nowhere near as severe as his own. He hadn’t realized the extent of harm this treatment would bring him. He really underestimated the danger of the Biwei Silver Needle; in the future, he wouldn’t easily use such a treatment method unless he could find the accessories of the Biwei Silver Needle one day.
Hu Jingtang rushed over, having specifically instructed the nurse not to inform anyone else once Xiao Yifei woke up but to notify him first. Hu Jingtang looked at Xiao Yifei lying in bed and felt that Xiao Yifei’s current situation was even worse than his own.
With nothing to hide from Hu Jingtang, Xiao Yifei weakly said to him, "This time, the damage to my body is too great. I didn’t expect it to be this severe; I feel like my body isn’t my own right now." Xiao Yifei spoke very slowly, almost letting each word fall out one at a time.
Hu Jingtang sat down by his bed, saying, "You need to properly rest for this entire week; otherwise, you really might end up with long-term repercussions. I previously prepared a prescription for you; you need to nourish your body well. I’ve also witnessed firsthand the harm of this treatment. Xiao Yifei, you truly are a good doctor."
Xiao Yifei weakly smiled at Hu Jingtang without saying anything further. Seeing his condition, Hu Jingtang said no more, quietly sitting by the bed. He had only been sitting for a short while when he felt his own body couldn’t take it.
He apologized to Xiao Yifei, saying, "I originally wanted to accompany you for a while longer, but my old bones won’t allow it. I’m now reduced to lying around all day." Saying that, he slowly returned to his room.
