"Aunt Dan." Yuan Doudou greeted her and quickly helped An Rong up so that Wang Qiqiang could carry him.
When Aunt Dan saw An and Rong, she was shocked. How could their condition be even worse than when she last came?
His face was completely bloodless, and he looked like he was in grave danger.
Yuan Doudou followed him into the clinic and went straight to the consultation room to find Li Tianlang.
She's already a regular at the clinic, so she doesn't even need to queue up to register.
Li Tianlang had just finished seeing a patient when he saw Wang Qiqiang carrying An Rong in, but his face remained expressionless.
"Dr. Li, my husband vomited blood and fainted this morning." Yuan Doudou's voice trembled; he had vomited a lot of blood.
"Put him down." There's an examination table behind him, specifically for patients to lie down for examinations.
Yuan Doudou helped An Rong down and carefully laid him flat on the stage.
"Get out of the way," Li Tianlang said calmly.
Yuan Doudou ignored his change in attitude and only wanted An Rong to wake up as soon as possible.
Just as Li Tianlang was about to sit down, he caught a glimpse of Yuan Doudou's neck. It was a hot day, yet she was wearing a thick scarf. Perhaps due to the bumpy ride, the scarf had come undone, revealing a section of fair skin adorned with dazzling plum blossoms.
Are they together?
Li Tianlang smiled bitterly. What nonsense are you talking about? They are a legitimate married couple, so it's not unreasonable for something to happen between them.
He sat by the bed and took An Rong's pulse. What a complex pulse he found. Recalling the red mark on Yuan Doudou's neck, he deduced that she had vomited blood.
The surge of qi and blood triggered the onset of the emotional toxins within the body.
They may have done it more than once. They may not feel anything the first few times, but as time goes on, their blood circulation speeds up, their physical exertion increases, and toxins travel throughout their body via the bloodstream.
Without an antidote, he might not live more than three days.
Yuan Doudou noticed his pale face and had a bad feeling.
"Doctor Li, how is my husband?"
Li Tianlang shook his head and sighed. He had no antidote, so he could only prepare some medicine to nourish the body and strengthen its foundation.
He wrote out a prescription and told DouDou to take it to get the medicine.
"DouDou, you need to be mentally prepared."
He did his best.
Yuan Doudou's nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Dr. Li, where is the antidote you mentioned before?"
Li Tianlang froze, he had promised An Rong he wouldn't tell.
"DouDou, you misheard. There is no antidote."
Yuan Doudou's vision went black, and she almost fell over.
"Watch out!" Li Tianlang reacted quickly and caught her, preventing her from falling.
"I'm fine, I'll go get the medicine." Yuan Doudou looked ashen and staggered out.
Looking at her frail figure, Li Tianlang felt a pang of heartache for her.
His inner defenses gradually crumbled; he decided to tell her about the antidote.
Yuan Doudou grabbed the medicine and immediately went to the decoction room.
"Dou Dou, how is your husband's condition?" Yin Qiao, who was preparing her medicine, asked with concern when she noticed that Dou Dou was acting strangely.
"The odds are against us."
Yin Qiao was startled; it was indeed so.
I heard that An Rong's poisoning was very strange, and even the doctor was unable to concoct a suitable medicine.
"Dou Dou, you have to be strong. Maybe we can find an antidote." Yin Qiao could only try her best to comfort her and cheer her up.
Yuan Doudou forced a pale, weak smile. She still had Anji; she had to be strong.
It's not that she can't live without An Rong, it's just that the thought of An Rong leaving at such a young age makes her heart ache.
Yuan Doudou stared at the medicine furnace, lost in thought.
In the other ward, An Rong slowly woke up.
"You're awake?" Li Tianlang asked calmly.
While Dou Dou was away, he waited for An Rong to wake up.
An Rong felt a little dizzy. "What are you doing here?"
"You've fainted, and you're now in my clinic. So why do you think I'm here?"
If it weren't for teasing him, he wouldn't want to meddle in other people's business.
The person who poisoned the body is quite prestigious in this area, and offending her will bring no benefit.
"Are you out of your mind?" Li Tianlang frowned. "Before I left, I reminded you that you couldn't have sex. Are you really going to disregard everything?"
Ripples spread across An Rong's pale face.
Are you more concerned about me or her?
Li Tianlang glared at him: "What's the difference? If you're not doing well, she won't be either. For her sake, I also hope you can be doing well."
"You came here just to say this?" An Rong looked at him meaningfully with his deep eyes.
Li Tianlang looked at the door and confirmed that it was closed.
"I want to tell her that there is a cure for your poison."
"You dare!" An Rong was so agitated that he tried to sit up, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"You are so selfish. She is your wife, and you have a son. How can you bear to leave this world and abandon them?"
He admitted that An Rong would only have a chance if he died, but he couldn't be selfish.
This is unfair to DouDou.
“Death is a relief than living in humiliation. I hope she will understand me.”
He did it all for DouDou. If he had given in to that wicked woman just to survive, DouDou would have looked down on him for the rest of her life.
“Princess Lin’an is truly sincere towards you. Why can’t you divorce Dou Dou and marry the princess? Only by living can you help her and her child.”
In Li Tianlang's view, this is the best solution.
"Li Tianlang, you are really resourceful, but unfortunately I will not listen to any of your advice. I want to go back."
He got up and got out of bed, but as soon as he was about to go out, his legs felt as heavy as lead.
"Don't bother, without the antidote, you won't live more than three days." Li Tianlang lost his patience.
An Rong stood there, leaning on the table, his back ramrod straight.
"Is it because of my impulsiveness?"
“It’s your own fault,” Li Tianlang said coldly.
An Rong smiled, a smile tinged with helplessness.
He's not a young man anymore. Three years ago, he could treat Dou Dou with respect, but this time when she came back, she had changed. She was like a poppy, constantly tempting him.
Every night was an ordeal, burning with lust. He despised himself, and he hated that person the most, yet he had become very similar to that venomous woman.
Even knowing that doing it would hasten his death, he still succumbed.
Her scent was sweet but not cloying, stirring his heartbeat.
I originally intended to just try it out, but later I realized that once the arrow is released, there's no turning back; it's impossible to stop once you start.
Only through endless depravity can salvation be found.
"I understand. As far as I am concerned, I have no regrets about dying."
He had no regrets whatsoever; if he did, it was only that he hadn't taken her hard on the very first day he returned.
Li Tianlang's face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly they seemed ready to explode at any moment.
"An Rong, why are you up?"
At the critical moment, Yuan Doudou walked in carrying a bowl.
"DouDou, I feel fine now, we can go back." An Rong said, forcing back the pain.
"Drink your medicine first, then go back."
An Rong wanted to say that drinking it wouldn't do any good, but when he met her bright eyes, he obediently took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Here's a plum for you as a reward," Yuan Doudou said with a radiant smile.
