He placed the person on the bed, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
The call was answered quickly, and Shen Nanxing's sleepy voice came through, "Hello."
"Come to my house."
Shen Nanxing exclaimed, "What would I do at your house?"
"Something's up."
"What is it?"
Shen Lin was getting a little annoyed because Shen Nanxing kept asking so many questions.
After telling Shen Nanxing about Ye Xinning's situation, he said, "If I don't see you in half an hour, Shen Nanxing, you're no longer in this hospital."
Shen Nanxing, "..."
Half an hour later, Shen Nanxing arrived at the Shen family home.
She arrived at Shen Lin and Ye Xinning's bedroom. Shen Lin had already dressed Ye Xinning and wrapped her in a thick quilt. The air conditioner in the bedroom was also turned up much higher than usual. Ye Xinning on the bed was pale, and the burns on her wrists were shocking. Shen Lin held her other hand tightly as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"What happened? How did someone who was perfectly fine suddenly become like this?"
Shen Nanxing walked to the bedside, his expression also becoming serious.
Hearing the sound, Shen Lin got up from the bedside. "Show her."
Shen Nanxing conducted some basic examinations, combined with what Shen Lin had mentioned on the phone earlier.
"Her coma was due to a fever; the burns on her hands are nothing, it's just..."
Shen Nanxing lifted Ye Xinning's sleeve, revealing red marks all over her body. It was obvious that she was covered in them.
She turned to Shen Lin and asked, "Did you mistreat her?"
Shen Lin frowned. "Are you crazy?"
Shen Nanxing, “…” She thought to herself, although her brother was a bit cold, domineering and stubborn, it couldn’t be domestic violence.
"She did it herself?"
"Um."
"Why?"
"I don't know." He also wanted to know why, after he had only been in the study for a short while, she had become so self-harming when he returned.
Shen Nanxing clicked his tongue, "Look at your indifferent attitude. Just now on the phone, I don't know who was so nervous, as if I would lose something very important if I arrived a minute late."
"Do you talk this much when you see any patient?"
Shen Nanxing, "..."
Why did this turn into a personal attack when we were just having a normal conversation?
How is she?
"Give me a shot to reduce the fever, and treat the burn on my hand."
"there is none left?"
Shen Nanxing asked, "Is there anything else?" Is this person hoping for something else? What kind of mentality is this?
Shen Lin didn't say anything more, put one hand in his pocket, and started to walk outside.
"Give her the injection."
Shen Nanxing called out to his retreating figure, "Aren't you going to stay here and watch over her?"
"Who is she? Why should I protect her?"
Shen Nanxing pursed her lips at the departing figure, wondering who had been so worried, holding someone's hand so tightly just now.
...
When Ye Xinning woke up, it was already the next day.
Shen Nanxing gave her the injection and then stayed by her side, sleeping by the bed while watching over her.
When Ye Xinning opened her eyes and saw that the person beside the bed was Shen Nanxing, she was first stunned, and then spoke softly.
"South Star".
Shen Nanxing opened his eyes groggily, and seeing that she was awake, he rubbed his eyes and spoke.
"Sister-in-law, you're awake."
Ye Xinning's lips were pale, and her voice was still very weak.
What brings you here?
“Last night, my sister-in-law fell into a coma, and my brother called me to come over.”
She was unconscious last night? Did Shen Lin call Shen Nanxing?
Seeing that she was reminiscing, Shen Nanxing quietly added, "When my brother called me last night, he was very anxious."
Ye Xinning simply nodded, without any significant reaction.
"Thank you, Nanxing, you've worked hard."
Shen Nanxing sensed something from Ye Xinning's attitude.
She asked tentatively, "Sister-in-law, did you and I have a fight?"
quarrel?
Ye Xinning thought for a moment, "It doesn't count as an argument."
She and Shen Lin didn't argue, but Shen Lin was in a bad mood several times yesterday, and they did have intermittent unpleasant moments.
Not considered an argument?
Why did she see that scene when she arrived?
Shen Nanxing is the kind of person who is curious and must find out the truth. Besides, what happened last night really piqued her curiosity.
"Sister-in-law, did something happen to you? Why are you treating yourself like this? Putting aside the burn on your hand, the fact that you're on your period is very harmful to your body."
Ye Xinning simply shook her head. "I'm probably just too tired."
I'm so tired, I'm resorting to self-harm?
I'm so tired, that's why I have so many red marks on my body.
This is clearly illogical.
Shen Nanxing wanted to ask some other questions, but seeing that Ye Xinning kept avoiding the topic, she knew that she wouldn't get any answers by continuing to ask about it, so she simply changed the subject.
"Sister-in-law, have your menstrual cramps gotten any better these past few days?"
Ye Xinning shook his head and said with some helplessness, "No, it's still very serious."
“A senior professor of traditional Chinese medicine has come to our hospital. When can I take my sister-in-law to see him?”
"Sure."
Ye Xinning agreed without hesitation. She also wanted to find a reliable traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take a look. Being in so much pain was quite painful, especially when there were things to deal with, it really delayed things.
"Then I'll see when it's convenient and take my sister-in-law with me."
Ye Xinning and Shen Nanxing talked for a while longer before Xi Yuan knocked on the door and came in.
Seeing how pale Ye Xinning looked, he was very worried about her. "You were perfectly fine, how did you get a fever? Are you feeling any better now?"
Ye Xinning's hand was held by Xi Yuan, and she smiled gently, "Aunt Xi, I'm fine, I just caught a cold."
"To be honest, you really don't know how to take care of yourself."
"With Aunt Xi around, it's okay if I'm a little bad at taking care of myself. After all, Aunt Xi is the only one who remembers my period and prepares heat packs and brown sugar ginger tea for me."
Seeing that she still had the energy to talk and laugh, Xi Yuan knew that she was feeling better.
"I just hope you can be more careful. You're such a powerful and capable female lawyer outside, how come you take such care of yourself?"
Xi Yuan stood up and said to them, "I'm relieved that you're feeling better. You chat with Nanxing for a while. I've made some soup for you in the kitchen. I'll go down and check if you're feeling better. Nanxing, you can stay and have some later too."
"Okay, thank you, Aunt Xi."
After having soup in the morning and performing some tests on Ye Xinning to confirm that there were no problems, Shen Nanxing left.
Before leaving, she pulled Ye Xinning aside, gave her some medicine, and whispered to her, "This medicine can remove scars, and it can speed up the fading of those red marks on your body. Remember to use it, sister-in-law."
Holding the medicine, Ye Xinning was moved and said gratefully, "Thank you, Nanxing."
"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. It's just a small matter. However, I still hope that I won't see you like this again in the future. In my opinion, you should be a flamboyant, arrogant, and stunningly beautiful legal professional."
