All eyes turned to Cao Kun, surprised that he was still sticking to his ideas.

Wang Meng was stunned, staring wide-eyed at Cao Kun, opening his mouth but not knowing what to say.

Although he didn't know why Cao Kun was so confident in this pill, based on his understanding of Cao Kun, this pill must have some secrets.

But he dared not gamble; his only stake was his daughter's life!

Qian Xining couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, her face full of surprise, and she was stunned for a moment.

He secretly blamed Cao Kun, feeling that he was really out of touch with the times.

At this critical juncture, why are you still so focused on selling your elixir?

Just then, the doctor standing nearby finally couldn't help but let out a cold snort:

"Hmph, of course I understand what it means to try anything as a last resort, but you can't even explain the ingredients of that pill, so who knows what's inside?"

"Xiaoya might die the moment she eats it."

"If she doesn't take the medicine, Xiaoya can hold on for several more days. But if she takes the medicine, it might be this one last thing, and everything will be over."

After saying that, the doctor looked at Wang Meng, his tone carrying a hint of coercion: "Mr. Wang, now it's up to you to decide!"

Wang Meng's expression was uncertain, his gaze shifting between the pills in Xiao Ya's and Cao Kun's hands, his mind in turmoil.

Dean Huang, who was standing to the side, was still pondering when he heard the argument and was instantly stunned.

With the rapid explanation from those around him, he quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Dean Huang, with a kind face, said gently, "Young Master Cao, could you please let me take a look at this pill?"

Cao Kun didn't hide anything and immediately handed the pill to Dean Huang.

Dean Huang took the pill and first carefully examined its color. The black and red interwoven patterns made him frown slightly.

He then leaned closer, taking a light sniff of the scent emanating from the pill, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

After obtaining Cao Kun's consent, Dean Huang scraped off a bit of the powder and, to everyone's astonishment, prepared to put it in his mouth.

The attending physician immediately exclaimed, "Dean! How can you just eat something of unknown origin like this!"

Dean Huang smiled slightly: "It's alright, I believe Mr. Cao wouldn't harm me."

Upon hearing this, the attending physician immediately fell silent.

Dean Huang pinched up a pinch of the powder and put it in his mouth to savor it.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, Dean Huang slowly opened his eyes and said helplessly:

"I'm not sure about the ingredients of this pill either. In all my years of practicing medicine, I don't think I've ever seen a pill like this before."

Upon hearing this, the doctor couldn't help but scoff, "Hmph, I knew it! Who knows where these pills came from? How can you just take them like that?"

But to everyone's surprise, Dean Huang then added:

"However... the aura emanating from this pill is extremely mild. In my opinion, it may not put too much burden on this little girl's body. Perhaps it can be a last resort."

Dean Huang looked at Xiaoya on the hospital bed, his eyes filled with pity:

"After all, in my judgment, if this little girl doesn't receive effective treatment, she might really have a hard time surviving."

The doctor's smug expression froze instantly, and his breath hitched. It turned out that the dean hadn't been on his side at all.

I felt incredibly embarrassed and wished I could disappear into the ground.

The people present looked at each other, bewildered, not knowing what to do.

Wang Meng's gaze was fixed on the pill in Dean Huang's hand, his breathing became increasingly heavy, and his chest heaved violently.

This was a life-or-death decision for his daughter, and he was torn by inner turmoil, unable to make up his mind for a long time.

The entire ward seemed to freeze in time, falling into a deathly silence, so quiet that you could hear the tense heartbeats of everyone inside.

Just then, a very faint voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.

"I want to use this elixir; I want to take a gamble."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Xiaoya who was speaking. Her big eyes were bright and sparkling with an inexplicable light.

"I want to live... I need this elixir."

Xiaoya spoke slowly and deliberately, taking a long break after each sentence.

"But..." Wang Meng hesitated, his voice choked with emotion.

"I'll speak for him! Xiaoya, even without this pill, you still have a theoretical chance of survival."

"But if you use this pill and it has no effect, or even the opposite effect, then you're not far from death!"

The doctor issued a loud warning.

"But I still want to use it... I trust Uncle Cao..."

Cao Kun retrieved the Dragon-Tiger Pill from Dean Huang, approached Xiao Ya, and smiled slightly: "Xiao Ya, are you really sure?"

Xiaoya said in a weak voice, "I've thought it through, and... this is my own choice. No matter the outcome, I won't blame you."

Cao Kun was slightly taken aback, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He was deeply moved that the little girl was thinking of him even at this critical moment of life and death.

His gaze slowly shifted to Wang Meng, who seemed struck by something after hearing his daughter's words.

At this moment, he finally made up his mind, a complex expression appearing on his face. He gave a self-deprecating laugh and said:

"I never imagined that I, Wang Meng, who has lived for over 40 years and considered myself to have survived countless battles, would be less courageous than my own daughter."

He looked at Cao Kun, his eyes filled with determination:

"Xiaoya is right. This was a matter of life and death. Mr. Cao, no matter what the outcome is today, I am truly grateful for your help."

Cao Kun nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, Xiaoya, Wang Meng, thank you for your trust. Please believe me, I will definitely be able to cure Xiaoya."

Xiaoya nodded gently, closed her eyes, and opened her mouth slightly.

The doctor wanted to say something more, but Cao Kun was unwilling to wait any longer and decisively put the Dragon Tiger Pill into Xiaoya's mouth.

With a "glug," the pill slid down his throat and disappeared instantly.

A moment later, Xiaoya suddenly let out a soft groan: "Ugh..."

Her face flushed, and her body trembled slightly, as if she were undergoing some kind of change.

The doctor's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "It's terrible! It's an anaphylactic shock! Prepare for emergency treatment immediately!"

As he spoke, the doctor rushed over to give Xiaoya emergency treatment.

Cao Kun, quick-witted and agile, immediately stopped him: "Wait a little longer!"

The doctor's eyes widened as he glared angrily at Cao Kun, shouting, "This is a matter of life and death! This is no joke! How can we wait!"

However, the next second, something unexpected happened.

The redness that had spread across Xiaoya's body quickly subsided, and her bloodless skin gradually became rosy and radiant, no longer the sickly pale white it had been before.

Her breathing became steady and strong, and her previously faint breath was now full of vitality.

Xiaoya slowly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

She slowly raised her hands, her voice trembling with excitement: "I... I feel much better!"

The doctor was stunned, his mouth agape, his face filled with disbelief: "This...how is this possible!"

As the attending physician, he knew Xiaoya's condition all too well.

In this situation, the possibility of survival was only theoretical, and he had long since given up hope.

But who could have imagined that Cao Kun's single pill would instantly revitalize Xiaoya!
