Wang Meng was taken aback at first, then looked at Cao Kun with a confused expression.

In reality, his understanding of Cao Kun was quite limited, even to the point of being superficial.

If it weren't for the introduction by the old man Zhang Zhanxi, it would have been extremely difficult for Cao Kun to subdue him.

Although Cao Kun had been kind to Xiaoya and himself, this matter concerned Xiaoya's life, and there was no room for carelessness.

Wang Meng really didn't want to take any risks, after all, his wife had passed away long ago, and Xiaoya was their only bloodline.

He would never allow Xiaoya to be in even the slightest danger.

Before Wang Meng could say anything, something suddenly appeared in Cao Kun's hand—a strangely shaped pill.

The pill was covered in a mixture of black and red, shimmering with a mysterious luster, exuding an extraordinary and enigmatic aura that instantly drew the attention of everyone present.

That's right, it's the Dragon Tiger Pill!

The miraculous effects of Longhu Dan need no further explanation; Cao Kun himself has personally experienced them.

He only ate three pills, and his body quickly returned to its peak condition. He even had enough energy to go seven times a night without any problem.

Even the diluted Dragon Tiger Wine has miraculous effects in preserving youth and maintaining a youthful appearance.

The astonishing changes in Hu Hong and Lao Zhang are irrefutable proof.

Giving Xiaoya the Dragon Tiger Pill at this moment is like prescribing the right medicine for her condition.

Cao Kun thought and thought, but he really couldn't think of anything that could save Xiaoya better than the Dragon Tiger Pill.

This is a whole Dragon Tiger Pill! Maybe if Xiaoya takes it, she can recover her health immediately.

The doctor's face instantly turned grim, and he said loudly, "I knew you were going to bring Chinese medicine. Let me make this clear, I absolutely disagree!"

As he spoke, he turned urgently to look at Wang Meng, his expression serious:

"Mr. Wang, this is your own daughter. I must remind you that her physical condition is extremely fragile and she cannot withstand any harm!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Meng's expression froze, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

He knew the doctor was right, but Cao Kun's consistent performance made him unable to help but harbor a glimmer of hope.

Qian Xining, disregarding the fact that she was being led by Cao Kun, instinctively gripped Cao Kun's hand tightly and said worriedly:

"Perhaps we should reconsider. Xiaoya's body is really too weak. Giving her Chinese medicine at this time is too risky."

Cao Kun held Qian Xining's soft little hand, thoroughly enjoying this rare moment of contact.

He didn't say anything, but just silently watched the time tick by, second by second.

After a while, Cao Kun said seriously:

"This pill was brought from my hometown. It has the miraculous effect of nourishing the body and strengthening its foundation."

"It's incredibly effective for Xiaoya's symptoms; just one pill is enough to make her recover immediately."

Upon hearing this, Wang Meng became even more conflicted.

Although he had only met Cao Kun once or twice, he was always very good at judging people.

In his eyes, Cao Kun was by no means the kind of person who spoke carelessly.

Based on his understanding of Cao Kun, he knew that once such a person spoke, it was usually after careful consideration and he rarely made a mistake.

But this time it concerns the life and death of his daughter Xiaoya, and even if there is only the slightest risk, he dares not make a decision easily.

The doctor scoffed, "Hmph, you say your pills are good, but do you even know what's inside?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Meng turned to look at Cao Kun, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Cao Kun shook his head. He had no idea what the ingredients of the elixir were, but he didn't want to make it up, so he could only shake his head.

The doctor said, "Sir, I understand your feelings for Xiaoya, but this is medicine, not some kind of nonsense!"

"You can't even clearly state the ingredients of the medicine, how can I dare let you give it to Xiaoya? She's so weak, if she gets sick from it, it'll be too late to save her!"

When Wang Meng heard the doctor say this, his eyes immediately dimmed.

He understood Cao Kun's feelings for Xiao Ya, but the doctor was right; one could never be too careful when administering medication.

The sounds of an argument inside the ward drifted outside and attracted attention.

"Ahem... What's wrong? Why are you making a scene in the hospital? Don't you know you're disturbing the patients' rest?"

An elderly man with a white beard, wearing a white coat and leaning on a cane, slowly pushed open the door and entered.

He wore thick glasses and looked somewhat dissatisfied.

Upon seeing the elderly man, the doctor immediately greeted him respectfully, "Dean, what brings you here!"

He introduced himself to everyone:

"This is Director Huang of our children's hospital. He is a master of traditional Chinese medicine and a pioneer in the field of pediatric diseases in my country."

"The dean has led his team to overcome countless difficult and complicated diseases, and also has profound expertise in Xiaoya's condition."

A glimmer of hope ignited in Wang Meng's eyes.

Everyone quickly explained Xiaoya's critical condition to the dean in detail.

After listening, Dean Huang pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Let me take her pulse."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately and consciously made way for them.

Dean Huang walked steadily to the bedside, slowly extended his fingers, gently placed them on Xiaoya's pulse, and began to focus on taking her pulse.

Cao Kun held Qian Xining's small hand tightly and refused to let go, then retreated with her to the back of the crowd.

Qian Xining noticed Cao Kun's actions, her face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously tried to pull her hand back, but Cao Kun only gripped it tighter.

She looked around and saw that Dean Huang was taking her pulse. Feeling too embarrassed to disturb him, she had no choice but to give up.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Dean Huang.

Dean Huang's expression grew increasingly solemn, and as the pulse-taking process continued, his complexion became increasingly grim.

Everyone's hearts sank as if gripped by an invisible hand, the atmosphere in the ward so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

After a moment, Dean Huang spoke slowly, his tone heavy:

"Xiaoya's condition is indeed difficult to treat. I came up with several prescriptions in my mind, but none of them worked."

He sighed deeply, shook his head, and looked at Xiaoya with great affection: "Her body is too weak to withstand any medicine."

He paused, then continued:

"The situation is very troublesome. Xiaoya can only rely on her own body to resist, but she cannot absorb the medicine's power. She will only become weaker and weaker over time. It's a vicious cycle."

Dean Huang's words were like a death sentence for Xiaoya, and the atmosphere in the ward plummeted to freezing point.

Everyone was in low spirits. Wang Menghu's eyes were filled with tears, and his body trembled slightly as he struggled to hold back his tears.

Qian Xining's eyes were slightly red, and she felt extremely sad. She unconsciously tightened her grip on Cao Kun's hand.

Xiaoya remained as calm as a still pond, lying on the hospital bed without uttering a word, as if she had accepted her fate.

After a moment, Wang Meng sighed, "So be it, so be it, perhaps this is fate."

This towering man appeared utterly dejected at this moment, as if all his strength had been drained away.

He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said in a low voice, "I've wasted everyone's time. Please leave. I want to spend the rest of the time alone with my daughter."

After saying that, he turned around. Under the hospital room light, his tall figure looked particularly lonely, exuding an indescribable solitude.

Cao Kun, unwilling to give up, spoke up:

"Wait! Since Xiaoya's condition is so difficult to improve, why not try my elixir as a last resort?"
