Hearing this, Nuannuan frowned and walked into the room.
Elder Hong paused momentarily when he saw Nuannuan before making way for her. After all, he had witnessed the Nangong family’s young miss’ miraculous medical expertise.
Nuannuan approached Chi Zeyao’s bed and pretended to check his pulse by holding his hand, but in reality, she was observing his physical condition.
Although Nuannuan had stabilized his conditions after their last acupuncture session, his illness had probably acted up again because he had been too tired in the past few days.
The first-aid doctor just pushed a wheeled stretcher over. Just as he was about to move Chi Zeyao, he saw Nangong Nuannuan blocking their way. At this moment, sending the patient to the hospital as soon as possible was a life-saving measure.
Therefore, even though he had to deal with someone from the Chi family, the doctor’s tone was filled with urgency. “Please make way. The patient needs to be sent to the hospital immediately.”
After taking a good look at Second Uncle Chi’s condition, Nuannuan raised her head and looked at the doctor. “Did you bring anti-inflammatory medicine? You should have some cephalosporins in the ambulance, right?”
The doctor frowned. “Yes, we have it. What are you planning to use it for?”
Nuannuan listed a few more types of medicine. “Do you have any of those?”
“Yes, but what do you want to do with them?” the doctor asked persistently.
“He doesn’t want to go to the hospital, so I’ll give him an IV here.”
“This is ridiculous! Do you know that he’s suffering from acute kidney failure, and he needs a kidney transplant immediately? If we delay his treatment, or if you give him the wrong medication, his condition will worsen. He’s already running a high fever, and his life’s in danger. How can you give in to his wants just because he doesn’t want to go to the hospital?”
Even though he knew that this was a wealthy family, as a professional doctor, he was adamant in telling Nangong Nuannuan off.
“Don’t worry, Doctor. This is my second uncle. His life isn’t a joke to me.”
After saying that, Nuannuan turned to look at Chi Zeyao, whose cheeks were red from the fever but his eyes were still clear. “Second Uncle, do you believe me?”
“Yes, I believe you.”
The doctor wanted to speak again, but Elder Hong spoke.
“Don’t underestimate this Miss Nangong. Even the director of the Military Medical University is impressed by her medical skills. So, just do whatever she says.”
Elder Hong was a senior professor and expert in the Emperor District Military Medical University. His words were undoubtedly an imperial edict to these doctors in the Military Medical University.
The doctors looked at Nangong Nuannuan in bewilderment and obeyed Elder Hong’s order.
Old Master Chi walked in anxiously. All of a sudden, he looked as though he aged ten years more than he actually was.
“Little Girl, your second uncle…”
Looking at the tears in Old Master Chi’s eyes, Nuannuan quickly stood up and held Old Master Chi’s hand. “Grandpa, to tell you the truth, when I performed acupuncture on Second Uncle the last time he had a fever, he was already showing symptoms of acute kidney failure. You’re aware of Second Uncle’s internal injuries. Normal human organs will age and even be damaged when they reach a certain age, let alone someone like Second Uncle who has suffered serious internal injuries.”
As Nuannuan spoke, a look of despair flashed across Old Master Chi’s eyes. His hands were trembling uncontrollably. Nuannuan held onto Old Master Chi’s hands tightly and tried to comfort him. “Grandpa, with how advanced medicine is right now, even if his kidney is failing, the problem can be solved as long as we can find a suitable donor.
“Moreover, Second Uncle is suffering from acute kidney failure, which meant that his kidney hasn’t failed to the point of being completely dysfunctional.. Once we suppress his acute symptom, Second Uncle’s kidney can still be functional for a while.”
