Chapter 209 A Deadly Illness



It's normal for people to get fevers and colds, but Grandma Zhang is old and has some underlying health conditions. This isn't the worst of her fever yet; tomorrow will be the most dangerous time.

It was getting late, and since Grandma Zhang's fever wasn't too high, Mr. Luo got her some medicine from the village doctor and gave it to her.

The original book says that Mr. Luo originally planned to wait until tomorrow, and if Grandma Zhang's condition did not improve, he would ask the village officials to allow them to go to the county for medical treatment. However, unexpectedly, in the early spring when the weather was just starting to warm up, a strong cold front suddenly struck, bringing a blizzard. After the heavy snow, there was thick snow everywhere, and the oxcart could not reach the county town. The village doctor could not cure Grandma Zhang's illness, and Grandma Zhang's condition was delayed.

When Luo's mother saw Luo Jingyan arrive, she said anxiously, "Jingyan, your Grandma Zhang caught a cold last night and started having a fever this morning. Your father went to the village doctor to buy medicine, and the fever subsided when she took it. She was fine at noon, but the fever started again in the afternoon. She took the medicine half an hour ago, and the fever went down a little. I don't know if the fever will come back tonight."

I've already spoken with your father and asked your grandmother Zhang for her opinion. If she's not better by tomorrow, it means the medicine prescribed by the village doctor isn't working, and we'll take her to the county hospital to have a doctor there take a look.

Luo Jingyan thought to herself, "If I wait until tomorrow, it will be too late."

In order to save Grandma Zhang's life, Luo Jingyan decided to take Grandma Zhang to the hospital today.

Although she had spiritual spring water in her space, which could not only strengthen the body but also have a certain effect on treating diseases, she could not guarantee 100% that the spiritual spring water would definitely save Grandma Zhang's life. After all, spiritual spring water was neither a magic pill nor a panacea.

If she couldn't save Grandma Zhang, it would cost her a life. Human life is at stake, and she couldn't take the risk without being 100% certain.

Therefore, we must not be careless in this matter; going to the hospital is the safest option.

She went to the kitchen and poured half a bowl of hot water. When she brought it to Grandma Zhang, she added half a bowl of spiritual spring water to the bowl, hoping that the spiritual spring water could at least alleviate Grandma Zhang's condition.

"Mom, fever and colds are caused by viruses invading the body and causing infection. Make Grandma Zhang drink more water. Water can increase the body's circulation and help Grandma Zhang expel the virus from her body. As the number of viruses in her body decreases, she will gradually get better."

"Okay, sure."

Luo's mother helped Grandma Zhang sit up halfway, let her lean against the wall, and put a pillow behind her.

Grandma Zhang felt dizzy, but she still knew who was around her.

Luo Jingyan held the water to her lips: "Grandma, drink more water, it'll be good for your health."

Grandma Zhang nodded, took the bowl from Luo Jingyan, and drank all the water in it. Luo Jingyan then took the bowl back.

Grandma Zhang looked at the mother and daughter in front of her, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Siqi, Jingyan, thank you so much, and Zhenhua too, thank you for taking care of me. My old bones are most vulnerable to illness. Before you came, my husband had already passed away, and every time I was sick, I had to bear it all by myself. Now that you've come to take care of me, I'm truly grateful."

“Auntie, you’re being too polite,” said Mrs. Luo. “When Zhenhua and I came here, you were the first person we met, and you were the first to help us. You’re a good person. We’ve been together for so long, and I’ve come to see you as my mother. No matter how you see me, that’s just how I feel.”

At this moment, Mr. Luo walked over and said, "Auntie, you are really too kind to us. Not only Siqi, but I have long regarded you as my own mother. Siqi and I have no parents, and being with you is like going back to our childhood."

"Yes, that feeling is very warm."

Grandma Zhang felt a lump in her throat when she heard their words. She never imagined that after raising five children in her lifetime, the people who would stay by her side and take care of her when she was old and sick would be people who had no blood relation to her at all, and who would treat her as their mother.

She grabbed Luo's mother's hand and held it tightly in her palm, then looked at Luo's father.

"Thank you all. With you, Jingyan, and Xiaotian here, I can enjoy the happiness of having my children and grandchildren around me."

Mr. Luo suddenly had a brilliant idea and said, "Auntie, since we all want to treat each other as family, if you don't mind, how about you become my godmother?"

Luo's mother also agreed with Luo's father's suggestion: "Now that you've become our godmother, we're truly a family from now on."

Luo's mother then discussed it with Luo Jingyan: "Jingyan, what do you think? Do you agree to this?"

Luo Jingyan shook her head: "I have no objection."

“Xiao Tian won’t have any objections either.” Luo’s father had already made the decision for Luo Changtian. He said to Grandma Zhang, “What about you? Do you agree? If not, you can pretend I didn’t say anything, hehe.” He smiled mischievously.

Grandma Zhang quickly said, "What do I have to complain about? I'm more than happy that you're willing to recognize me as your godmother and godmother. I'm just afraid that you'll look down on me. I'm an old woman, and I'm afraid I'll be a burden to you."

Mr. Luo said, "What do you mean by being a burden? Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. You will be our treasure from now on."

When Mr. and Mrs. Luo came here, in addition to being able to reunite with Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian and enjoy the joy of family reunion, Grandma Zhang's interactions with them also gave them a lot of warmth. A warm atmosphere is often a good medicine for healing psychological trauma.

Grandma Zhang nodded, a smile appearing on her lips: "As long as you don't mind me, I have no objection."
