All the servants in the Hu family felt that the Hu family was acting very strangely today. First, the old master's courtyard, which was usually tightly closed, was actually open, and openly at that. The young mistress personally sent a team of people to clean up the courtyard and to stay there permanently, becoming people around the old master and mistress. Another strange phenomenon was that—this phenomenon was mentioned by the people serving the old mistress—it was said that the old mistress had a particularly strange arm, as if half of the flesh had been cut off by someone.

This matter is extremely strange. In fact, everything in the Hu family is strange, but those who are servants dare not speak up. They pretend not to have discovered anything and silently do what they are supposed to do.

"Why hasn't Second Master woken up yet?" Lu Ying paced back and forth in the room. Xia Donglai stood expressionlessly by the bed, and Bai Nuo sat on the bed. Everyone was staring at Hu Mingmei, but even after they had been watching for a long time, Hu Mingmei showed no signs of waking up.

"Old man!" Lu Ying couldn't take it anymore and stopped in front of Doctor Sun. "Say something! How is Second Master?"

Why hasn't he woken up yet? Could it be that he was given the wrong medication?

Dr. Sun, who had been writing his notes with his head down, looked up at the bed when he heard Lu Ying's words and said uncertainly, "Logically, he should be awake by now."

"Logically speaking?" Lu Ying exploded upon hearing this. "Old man, are you reliable or not? Give me a straight answer! What do you mean by 'logically speaking'? You dare to give Second Master something you're not sure about?" Isn't this going to kill him?

Hu Mingmei was lively and energetic before taking the antidote, so why did she become so ill after taking it?

Doctor Sun was also very nervous and did not dare to answer Lu Ying's question. He stood up, walked to the bedside, and said to Bai Nuo, "Young Madam, please step aside so that I can take the Second Master's pulse."

Bai Nuo calmly stood up and politely said to Doctor Sun, "Dr. Sun, thank you for your trouble."

Doctor Sun shook his head. "It's my duty. Madam, you don't need to be so polite."

Doctor Sun sat down and took Hu Mingmei's pulse. Although Lu Ying was somewhat dissatisfied with Doctor Sun, she still knew his medical skills and did not disturb him.

Not only did Lu Ying remain silent, but Bai Nuo and Xia Donglai also kept quiet; the entire room was eerily quiet.

The three men held their breath and waited, and time seemed to drag on endlessly, as if thousands of years had passed. Finally, Doctor Sun finished taking the pulse and stroked his beard in deep thought.

Seeing his deadpan expression, Lu Ying felt extremely irritated and started pacing back and forth. She had only taken two steps when Xia Donglai grabbed her arm.

Lu Ying gave Xia Donglai a strange look, as if to ask, "Why did you pull me aside for no reason?"

Xia Donglai didn't speak, but just gestured with his lips. Lu Ying looked in the direction Xia Donglai gestured and saw Bai Nuo standing there calmly. Lu Ying remembered that since he came back, Bai Nuo hadn't said a word, just looking at Hu Mingmei, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

Lu Ying opened her mouth, but ultimately did not call out to Bai Nuo.

“This medicine is for Second Master’s illness, but his pulse is very chaotic, as if someone is fighting inside his body,” Doctor Sun said at this moment.

This was as vague as saying nothing at all, leaving everyone confused. Lu Ying finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Old man Sun, what do you mean by this?"

Ignoring Lu Ying, Doctor Sun stood up and bowed to Bai Nuo, saying, "Young Madam, I'm truly sorry, but right now, besides waiting for the Second Master to wake up on his own, I have no other options."

It's not that Doctor Sun can't intervene with external force, but Hu Mingmei's body has become a battlefield at this moment, and if he intervenes, it will probably cost him his life.

Bai Nuo nodded, indicating that she understood. She said softly to the three people present, "I understand. You three should go back and rest first. I can take care of things here."

"You should get some rest!" Lu Ying said. Bai Nuo was feeling the worst at this moment, and Lu Ying and the others didn't know what to say, so they could only tell Bai Nuo to get some rest.

Night fell quickly, and soon it was midnight again. Hu Mingmei still hadn't woken up. Bai Nuo looked at his serene face and murmured, "Wake up soon, don't leave me and the baby. We need you."

As she spoke, Bai Nuo couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Don't cry!" The voice rang clearly in her ears. Bai Nuo was stunned. Through her teary eyes, she saw Hu Mingmei looking at her tenderly.

"Waaah..." Bai Nuo couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself onto Hu Mingmei, sobbing and complaining, "You scared me to death."

"I'm sorry, I made you worry!" Hu Mingmei looked down at Bai Nuo and saw her lying on him, sobbing like a helpless child. His heart ached for her, but Bai Nuo seemed to break down when she cried, so Hu Mingmei couldn't bear to let her hold it in and could only let her cry.

His daughter was terrified.

"How could you be so mean?" Bai Nuo lightly punched Hu Mingmei, then climbed off him and asked, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Much better!" Hu Mingmei nodded, carefully examining her body and feeling much more relaxed than before. "What medicine did Dr. Sun give me?"

"Dr. Sun gave you the antidote!" Bai Nuo said, looking at him. Seeing that Hu Mingmei wanted to get up, she quickly helped him up and put a pillow behind his back, looking at him with tender eyes. "But there's only half the antidote, given by that old woman!"
