137 137 Allergic reaction
Tao Qi was still sobbing. “I don’t know what’s going on. I feel horrible.”
As Tan Rou took Tao Qi’s pulse, she glared at him sternly. “You’re already in this state and you’re still not saying anything. You even locked the door. Do you want us to be staring at your body tomorrow morning? Are you an idiot? How can you just endure this in silence?”
Tao Qi’s face was red with a few tear stains, and he looked very pitiful. “Am I dying? I don’t want to die yet, so stop scolding me and save me!”
Tan Rou sighed helplessly and grabbed Tao Qi’s jaw, making him open his mouth wide. After taking a closer look, she said, “Don’t worry, with me here, you won’t die.”
Tao Qi’s face was being pinched, he looked at Tan Rou in confusion.
He had been so upset that his head was muddled. He had held on to his breath and he didn’t want Tan Rou to find out about this but he was actually scared to death.
Now, although Tan Rou had scolded him a few times, Tao Qi somehow felt a lot more at ease. Tan Rou was like his backbone, making him subconsciously want to rely on her.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Tao Zheng ran in with a panicked expression. Looking at the door that was on the verge of collapse, he asked in disbelief, “I just heard a loud noise inside the room. Did you guys fight? ”
After that, he saw the scene in the room and realized that something was wrong with Tao Qi. He quickly ran into the room. “What happened to Little Qi?”
Tao Qi frowned and didn’t say anything.
“It’s an allergic reaction.” Tan Rou explained with a frown. “The situation is a little serious. Big brother, keep an eye on him. Don’t let him scratch the rash on his body. I’ll go get something from my room.”
Tao Zheng had never been in a situation like this before. He subconsciously wanted to call the ambulance but Tan Rou’s tone was firm and her expression serious stopped him. Her entire aura was different from usual and Tao Zheng subconsciously nodded in agreement. He sat down beside Tao Qi and held his restless hands in place.
Tan Rou quickly ran back to her room to get her silver needles. When she returned to Tao Qi’s room, Tao Qi’s allergic reaction was even more intense, and he was already gasping for breath.
Tao Zheng looked at the silver needles in Tan Rou’s hands. He recalled that Tan Rou had said that she knew how to concoct medicinal herbs and had sold quite a number of them, but an allergy could be fatal if it got serious. Tao Zheng was a little anxious, so he said tactfully, “Xiao Rou, I know you’re skilled in medicine, but Little Qi’s condition doesn’t allow for any mistakes. It’s not that I don’t trust you but we can’t afford to bet on this. Let’s take him to the hospital!”
Of course, Tan Rou understood Tao Zheng’s concerns. It was also fortunate that Tao Zheng was her brother and had even accepted her. If it had been anyone else, they would have scolded her for making a scene.
Who would dare allow another person who had no proper title, who had always said that she was self-taught, to waste time at this juncture?
However, Tan Rou didn’t have time to explain herself. She could only say, “There’s no time now. He won’t be able to hold on until he goes to the hospital. He’s been keeping this quiet and has already missed the best time for treatment. Trust me!”
Tan Rou looked at Tao Zheng seriously. The confidence and certainty in her eyes stunned him.
Tao Zheng had never seen such an expression on Tan Rou’s face. At that moment, the person standing before him was not only his mature and strong sister, but also a dignified and confident doctor.
Tao Zheng only hesitated for two seconds before he gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He decided to trust Tan Rou and take a gamble.
Tan Rou wasn’t someone who liked to take such risks. This matter concerned Tao Qi’s life and so Tao Zheng believed that Tan Rou would put up a show now. He swiftly carried Tao Qi in his arms and looked at Tan Rou with an especially serious expression. “What are you going to do?”
Tan Rou heaved a sigh of relief. If Tao Zheng did not believe her, she would have to do it the hard way. However, that would take up a lot of time. Luckily, Tao Zheng chose to believe her.
Tan Rou gave Tao Zheng a consoling look, then quickly took out a silver needle from her bag. The silver needle reflected a terrifying light under the bedroom light.
Tao Qi was already showing signs of fainting. His eyes were half-closed as he panted heavily in Tao Zheng’s arms, but the moment he saw the silver needles, he instantly sobered up and cowered in Tao Zheng’s arms.
“Are you going to kill me?”
Tao Qi was already having a hard time breathing. His struggle and rejection were as adorable as a kitten. Tan Rou didn’t care about Tao Qi’s resistance and kept approaching him with the needle.
Tao Qi was scared and struggled instinctively. “I don’t want it! I don’t want it!” He was already having trouble breathing, and now that he was struggling, his face was so red that it almost turned purple.
Tao Zheng’s heart ached as he hugged Tao Qi tightly. He watched Tan Rou’s movements nervously and prayed in his heart, ‘Tan Rou would have to make this work! Otherwise, he would regret it and hate her for the rest of his life!’
