The child arrived at this crucial juncture, which was indeed very unfortunate.
However, it also gave Ni Sitian a strong will to survive. After repeated hopes and disappointments, she had already resigned herself to the fact that she wouldn't live much longer.
But things are different now. She has become very proactive for the sake of this child. Although her cumulative waking time is getting shorter, her sleep is still intermittent.
She probably knew subconsciously that she couldn't sleep for a whole day and night; the child needed three meals a day, so she had to wake up and eat no matter what, even if she had to go back to sleep after eating.
Xu Tingchuan had naturally noticed Ni Sitian's improvement, and he even had the somewhat unrealistic thought that she might just recover naturally like this.
Later, he asked Xin Zikai, but Xin Zikai did not think this was an optimistic state of mind.
After staying in the hospital for a few days, Xu Tingchuan had his stitches removed from his forehead and was discharged.
However, another bad thing happened: Ni Sitian suddenly fainted and developed a high fever that night.
Xu Tingchuan panicked and called Xin Zikai. Xin Zikai was silent for a moment before saying, "I'll go take a look."
About half an hour later, Xin Zikai arrived at Xu Tingchuan's house.
Xu Tingchuan didn't even give him a chance to take off his shoes before grabbing him and dragging him into the bedroom.
Xin Zikai is not a doctor, but he has studied toxins for many years and can make simple diagnoses.
"It's pretty much what I expected." The day before yesterday, Xin Zikai heard that Ni Sitian's sleep had become intermittent, and he thought about the possible scenarios that might happen next. He frowned and his lower lip tightened.
"What do you mean?" Xu Tingchuan could tell from his expression that things were going in a bad direction, and he was so flustered that his voice trembled.
"She has at most a week left." Xin Zikai sighed and shook his head. His antidote was not yet finished. Time was really too tight. If he had another month, just one month, he would be 80 or 90 percent certain.
"Is there really no other way?" Xu Tingchuan's face was ashen, his voice filled with sorrow and despair.
Xin Zikai remained silent for a long time. He could sense the deep sorrow emanating from the man. Although they weren't close, he genuinely wanted to help him heal his wife, but...
“Mr. Xu, there are two options now.” Xin Zikai pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, “First, she only has one week left. I can prescribe a medicine so that she can live like a normal person during her last week. You can accompany her and happily walk her final journey.”
"No," Xu Tingchuan simply couldn't accept the fact that she would die. She couldn't die, absolutely not. He couldn't lose her.
“Then there is a second option, which is a method that goes against my principles.” Xin Zikai paused, took a deep breath, and said, “Two days later, I can produce the antidote, but it can only be considered a semi-finished product. I am not sure whether this medicine will be an antidote or will directly cause her death. I am only 10% sure.”
Xu Tingchuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Xin Zikai.
“The reason I said two days later, not a week later, is because her body is not suitable for other medications right now, and she is pregnant, so it is not advisable for her to have a fever for too long.” Xin Zikai sighed slightly. “Actually, even if the time is delayed to a week later, the one I can develop is only slightly better than this, with about a 20% chance of detoxification. But if she has a fever for a week, the baby will definitely not survive, so you make the choice.”
