Chapter 326 Open Your Mouth
Xu Qingsui originally wanted to extort information so that he could find out in advance about the traitor buried in the Huo Group and be prepared to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jingyu was smarter than before and didn't fall for her trick.
"Xu Qingsui, we are waiting for your good news, so please act quickly." Lu Jingyu showed an obscene smile, waved at her, and strode away into the night.
Xu Qingsui stood there in a daze for a long time before taking a taxi back home.
The next morning, she was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone. She dazedly glanced at the time and jumped up in shock, only to feel dizzy and almost faint.
The saying "her illness is as severe as a mountain falling on her" is really the most appropriate way to describe her at this moment.
She hadn't felt sick for a long time. Her whole body ached, her head felt dizzy, and her vision was blurry. However, she still remembered the time she had agreed to discuss something with Xu Wanshan.
Obviously, it was already past eleven o'clock and the agreed time had long passed.
Some of those calls were from Huo Xilin, some were from Lin Wan, but more were from Xu Wanshan.
I didn't see anyone on the other end and I couldn't get through on the phone. I guess I must be extremely anxious at this moment.
She didn't dare to hesitate and forced herself to call the other party back.
The call was picked up the moment it was connected: "Junior Sister Xu, what's wrong with you? Is there something urgent that has delayed you?"
Senior Brother Xu has always been very nice. Even when she broke the appointment, he still didn't scold her.
"Senior Brother Xu..." The moment Xu Qingsui opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was as if it had been cut by a very blunt knife. It was so broken that she couldn't hear what she was saying. Her throat was so painful that she burst into tears.
"Are you sick? Your voice is so hoarse, do you have a fever? Where are you now?"
In order not to make Xu Wanshan worry, Xu Qingsui could only say: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I caught a cold today. I'll make an appointment with you when I feel better, okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay. There's no rush for work. You should get well first. Did you go to the hospital? Is there anyone to accompany you?"
"Yes, yes. Thank you for your concern, senior brother. I'm really sorry for breaking the appointment today." Xu Qingsui said with great difficulty.
"Okay, take a good rest first, send me the address, and I'll come to see you later."
"No need, senior brother. I know you are busy. It's almost the end of the year and there are a lot of things to do. You just go ahead and do your own thing." Xu Qingsui spoke with difficulty. After saying goodbye to Xu Wanshan, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
She got out of bed with great effort. Fortunately, there was cold medicine at home. She found it in the medicine box. She was shivering with cold all over and was too lazy to boil hot water. She poured a glass of cold water, swallowed it without thinking, and went back to bed and continued to sleep wrapped in the quilt.
She heard the phone ringing in a daze. She couldn't even open her eyes and answered it. She was so dizzy that she couldn't tell who was on the other end of the phone, what they talked about, what she responded to, or when the phone was hung up. She didn't remember anything.
When she woke up, what she saw was a pure white scene. Her eyes moved and she felt that everything around her was unfamiliar. The pungent smell of disinfectant made her frown. She wanted to sit up, but her bones seemed to be crushed and she could hear a creaking sound when she moved.
She was like an aging machine that might fall apart if she moved even slightly.
When people are sick, their reactions are slow. Xu Qingsui was stunned for a long time before he realized that he was in the hospital.
I turned around and sure enough, there was a needle hanging on the back of my hand.
"Awake?" Huo Xilin pushed the door open and saw Xu Qingsui waking up. His frown seemed to relax a lot.
Seeing the person coming, Xu Qingsui was very surprised and asked quickly, "Why are you here?"
The moment she opened her mouth, she realized that she had lost her voice.
But Huo Xilin still understood what she was saying from her lip movements.
"Why didn't you call me when you were sick? If I hadn't heard something wrong with your voice, the consequences would be unimaginable." If it weren't for Xu Qingsui's weak appearance, Huo Xilin would really be angry.
Does this woman know how to take care of herself? She's only been away from him for one day and she's already in this state. How can one not be anxious?
Huo Xilin still feels scared when he recalls the time when he rushed back and saw Xu Qingsui lying on the bed, unconscious from a fever.
Huo Xilin couldn't imagine if he was careless and didn't come back in time, whether she would become stupid due to the fever, or develop pneumonia, or something even more serious.
Xu Qingsui's mouth was very dry. He wanted to speak, but no sound came out.
Huo Xilin quickly poured a cup of warm water, plugged in the habit, gently helped her up, and handed the straw to her mouth.
Xu Qingsui quickly took a sip, and the dry feeling in his throat was instantly relieved a lot as the water went down his throat.
"Drink slowly." Huo Xilin said with concern when he saw her drinking water quickly.
Xu Qingsui took several sips before he finally felt a little better.
She gently pushed Huo Xilin's hand, indicating that she had finished drinking.
Huo Xilin put her down, tucked the quilt for her, and said, "When I sent you here yesterday, you had a high fever of 39.7 degrees, which went down as soon as possible. Now you still have a low fever, and you have to continue to get injections and take medicine."
As soon as Huo Xi finished speaking, the nurse came in with medicine: "The patient is awake? Good, take today's medicine."
Huo Xilin stood up and took the medicine from the nurse. The nurse took Xu Qingsui's temperature and said, "You still have a low-grade fever. Take the medicine and wait and see in the afternoon. If the fever still doesn't go down, you need to change the medicine."
"Family members must pay attention to the patient's condition at all times." The nurse was still a young girl. When she spoke to Huo Xilin, although she tried her best to remain calm, her face still blushed uncontrollably and her tone was a little stuttering.
"Okay." Huo Xilin focused all his attention on Xu Qingsui. As for the changes in others, he had no intention of paying attention to them.
After the nurse left, Huo Xilin helped Xu Qingsui up again and helped her take medicine.
Because of his sore throat, Xu Qingsui had a hard time swallowing the medicine. His brows were furrowed and his expression was very painful.
After she finished taking the medicine, she felt an extremely bitter taste in her mouth. The unpleasant smell of the medicine spread from her mouth to her nasal cavity. Her stomach instantly churned and she felt like vomiting.
"Open your mouth." Huo Xilin suddenly said to her.
Xu Qingsui looked up at him. Although she didn't understand what he wanted to do, she still obeyed him and opened her mouth slightly.
Then, a jasmine-flavored candy melted in the mouth. The sweet taste suppressed the bitter taste of the medicine and also suppressed the feeling of nausea.
