46 The Man Is Pretending
Seeing that everyone was speaking up for Xia Wan, the man had no choice but to help the girl up and put her in an open s.p.a.ce outside.
Xia Wan had always been observant, and she didn’t miss the impatience that flashed across the man’s eyes. However, she was a little confused. This man was the girl’s husband, yet, now that the girl was in a coma, all he did was express a little concern before quickly becoming impatient.
It seemed that this was a man who only seemed to care for his woman on the surface when he actually had his own thoughts. At this time, Xia Wan defined this man as a sc.u.mbag.
This only made her more sympathetic to the girl who had fainted. Xia Wan quickly followed her outside, and after checking her pulse, she took out a handkerchief, rolled it up, and put it into the girl’s mouth.
The man saw Xia Wan’s actions and immediately questioned, “What are you doing? Sure, my wife is unconscious, but you can’t just humiliate her.”
Xia Wan glared at him coldly. Then, before she could say anything, she suddenly started twitching all over, with the veins on her face popping.
If Xia Wan had not stuffed the food into her mouth, the girl would have probably chewed her lips to bits.
The people around them also exclaimed when they saw this. “Oh my G.o.d… this is epilepsy.”
The girl’s limbs twitched as she kicked around randomly. There was even white foam coming out of her mouth. When the man saw this, he was also shocked. If you looked closely enough, you could even see the disdain in his eyes.
When Xia Wan saw that the girl’s convulses had increased, she quickly pressed her hands on her legs. However, she had not trained much and didn’t have much strength. It was obvious that she could not hold the girl down.
She looked at the man beside her with dissatisfaction and scolded, “What are you still looking at? Isn’t she your wife? Your wife is twitching all over. Were you just pretending to be concerned about her?”
Hearing Xia Wan’s words, the man’s eyes flickered and he immediately helped to ma.s.sage her, not forgetting to explain himself. “I was just too surprised. I didn’t expect that something like this would happen to my wife. Who said I don’t care about my wife? We have a good relationship. I don’t need you to lecture me.”
Xia Wan snorted coldly and ignored him. She had taken the girl’s pulse just now and found that it wasn’t just a simple case of epilepsy, but poison. It had a slow-acting toxin that would slowly erode the body without anyone noticing.
Just as Xia Wan was confused, she saw a familiar figure rushing over. She recognized him. He was Zhou Tian, the boss who sold ginseng to her.
Zhou Tian looked straight at the unconscious woman on the ground, his eyes filled with concern as he said, “Xiao Rou, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare dad.”
Xia Wan suddenly remembered. No wonder the last time she went to the store to sell ginseng, she saw that there were many medicinal herbs in the store that were specially prepared for the body. It seemed that they were all prepared for this girl.
“Boss Zhou, is this your daughter?” Xia Wan asked.
Only then did Zhou Tian see Xia Wan. Due to the previous incident, Zhou Tian still had a deep impression of her. She was a girl who knew her medicinal herbs.
“Girl, it’s you. Sigh. My daughter’s health isn’t good. I’ve been looking for all kinds of tonics for her, and she’s been taking them for so long, yet there’s still no effect.
Xia Wan nodded and said thoughtfully, “Some medicines won’t work. Could you have used the wrong method?”
Zhou Tian’s eyes lit up when he heard her words. “Do you know how to treat her? My daughter’s illness has been lingering for a long time. Even the hospital could do little for her.
Xia Wan nodded slightly. “My grandfather used to be a village doctor in the village. He has treated similar diseases before. Maybe I can give it a try.”
“Really? I’d be so grateful if you could,” Zhou Tian said excitedly.
The man from before disagreed. “Dad, she looks so young. How can you let a little girl treat Rou? Even the hospital can’t cure her disease. What can she do? We can’t delay Rou’s treatment.”
Zhou Tian looked at the man unhappily after he heard that. He criticized, “Li Yan, how can you say that? Are you looking down on this little girl? Her grandfather is the village doctor and has seen many diseases. Besides, Rou’s illness has been lingering for a long time. Now, as long as there is a chance, I will not let it go. I will treat Rou well.”
