During this period, Xia Shige has been quietly observing the desert vines that have sprouted from the ground. Currently, only a few vines have grown in the community. Because everyone goes out early and returns late, avoiding going out when the sun comes out, no one pays attention to these vines.

Today, Tang Shiqi came to visit Xia Shige's house. The two were chatting, and Tang Shiqi frowned and stared at her right hand from time to time.

Xia Shige followed her gaze and saw that Tang Shiqi's right hand was slightly swollen and the color was slightly purple.

With the experience of her previous life, Xia Shige felt that Tang Shiqi's hand looked like it was stabbed by a desert vine. She asked anxiously, "Shiqi, what happened to your right hand? Did you touch any unfamiliar plants before you entered the door?"

Tang Shiqi only felt that her right hand was burning, painful and numb, and it was difficult to bend it.

She frowned and thought for a moment before answering, "I sorted out the succulents in the room before I left. It seemed that there was a vine that I didn't recognize in a pot of succulents. I thought it was a weed seed that fell in, so I pulled it out."

Tang Shiqi didn't feel anything at the time, but her hands had been a little numb from the beginning, and she thought it was an illusion. But now her hands were getting more and more swollen, and the numbness and pain were getting stronger and stronger.

After hearing what Tang Shiqi said, Xia Shige secretly felt bad. She stood up and said to Tang Shiqi, "This vine is poisonous and covered with tiny thorns. You must have been injured. We have to go to the hospital now."

Then Xia Shige paused again and said with some embarrassment: "But public hospitals are generally full nowadays..."

The high temperature lasted for several months, medical equipment and medicines were in short supply, and hospitals were overcrowded. Many hospitals were paralyzed and had no ability to accept patients.

"It's okay, we can go to a private hospital I know." Tang Shiqi said as she opened the navigation on her phone.

Tang Shiqi was embarrassed to trouble Xia Shige and planned to ask her bodyguard to take her home. However, Xia Shige was worried about Tang Shiqi and she also wanted to confirm whether the hospital had any effective medicine.

Xia Shige followed the navigation and drove to a private hospital.

There are a lot of security guards at the entrance of private hospitals. They strictly check the information of everyone going out before letting them in to prevent anyone from breaking in.

The doctor rushed over and knew the cause as soon as he saw Tang Shiqi's hand. "You also touched the vines that have grown recently, right? There are thorns on the vines. If you touch them, they will pierce your skin. These thorns will stay in the skin and cause local paralysis and swelling. You need to use a newly developed special medicine for the thorn-dissolving injection."

Recently, vines have sprouted in every corner of the world. Many people are curious about how such plants can grow in such hot weather. They touch them out of curiosity, but get pricked by the almost transparent thorns on them without noticing.

Once this small thorn enters the human body, it cannot come out and remains in the skin like fiberglass. A special injection is needed to dissolve the thorn.

The doctor treated Tang Shiqi's wound, and Xia Shige took the receipt and planned to get medicine for Tang Shiqi.

Just as she was walking towards the pharmacy, someone suddenly stopped her from behind.

"Shi Ge?"

Xia Shige turned around and saw Xu Yilan and Lu Sixue.

Xu Yilan saw that she was a little surprised and asked, "Shi Ge, why are you here? Did you come to visit your father because you got the news?"

Lu Bo was worried about Lu's health day and night. It was already October and the situation showed no signs of cooling down.

Lu Bo was so anxious that he fell ill. He was sent to the hospital for examination and it was found that he had cerebral thrombosis.

Xia Shige said expressionlessly: "I don't have a father. My mother raised me alone. Madam Lu, please come on."

Xu Yilan's face turned pale when she heard that. She stared at Xia Shige with wide eyes in disbelief, "Why, what are you talking about me? I'm your biological mother!"

Lu Sixue rolled her eyes, pretending to be sad and whispered, "Shi Ge, you don't know that Dad has been ill these days and has been bedridden. After all, you are Dad's daughter, you must be very sad to know that Dad is ill. You have not been by Dad's side for so many years, why don't you go home and take care of Dad these days."

The Lu family has been short of money recently, so Lu Bo gritted his teeth and cut down on the number of employees in the villa, leaving only a nanny to cook and clean, a driver to drive, and a few bodyguards.
