Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor
Chapter 61 Dilemmas
"Dr. Chu, please take a look! What's wrong with my wife?"
Chu Nan turned around, somewhat puzzled. He hadn't noticed anything unusual about Jiang Yingxue when he was treating her foot injury.
At this moment, she was lying on the table, her face flushed and her hands supporting her forehead, breathing so heavily that it could be heard several steps away.
"What's wrong, Madam?"
"I don't know. I was just about to offer to walk you home when she suddenly looked uncomfortable and said she felt a little dizzy, and then her face turned bright red."
Lu Baoliang stood awkwardly to the side, his chubby face full of anxiety. He didn't know what to do with his hands, looking like he wanted to go over and help but was afraid of making a mistake and worsening the condition. "Dr. Chu, please take a look, what's wrong?"
Chu Nan stepped forward to observe her for a while, then reached out and touched Jiang Yingxue's forehead. "It seems that Madam has a fever."
"Fever? She was perfectly fine just now, how could she suddenly..."
"Okay, Dr. Chu, please take my wife upstairs to rest first, and I'll go find you some fever reducer."
After finishing his sentence, Lü Baoliang left the living room to find the medicine without waiting for Chu Nan's reply.
Having no other option, Chu Nan could only ask, "Madam, how are you feeling?"
"faint……"
faint?
Chu Nan frowned. "Can you stand up?"
Jiang Yingxue didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
Chu Nan tried to help him up.
Jiang Yingxue still had some strength left, but very little. Her arms were so weak they felt like they had no bones, and she was almost entirely supported by Chu Nan.
However, after taking only two steps, she completely lost her strength and collapsed into Chu Nan's arms.
Fever can indeed make people weak, but it has only been two or three minutes since the fever started, and it is impossible for one's physical strength to be depleted so quickly.
Chu Nan felt increasingly uneasy, but given the current situation, there was no time to think about it further. He could only pick her up and carry her upstairs.
Jiang Yingxue leaned on his shoulder, her breath hot as she exhaled.
In stark contrast to her usual aloofness and deliberate distance, her current state was entirely an unconscious physiological reaction; her breathing was rapid and shallow, and her body was abnormally hot.
Chu Nan quickened his pace and soon arrived at the bedroom on the second floor.
After placing Jiang Yingxue on the bed, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
But whether it was because he was too nervous or because the ordeal had exhausted him, he actually felt a little tired.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his heart was beating much faster than usual.
"Madam, please rest well. I'll go see when Mr. Lü will bring the fever reducer."
Chu Nan walked to the top of the stairs and called out downstairs, "President Lü? Have you found the medicine?"
There was no response from the living room, the front door was closed, and the entryway was empty.
"Mr. Lü?"
Chu Nan shouted again, this time louder than before.
Still, no one answered.
The entire villa was eerily quiet, with only his voice echoing in the high-ceilinged living room.
Chu Nan took out his phone and dialed Lü Baoliang's number.
The receiver went dead; no one answered.
He hung up and dialed again, but it was still busy.
The third time I dialed, the phone was immediately switched off.
Chu Nan stared at his phone screen, a vague unease rising from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Baoliang said he was going to find fever reducers, but he disappeared. This doesn't seem like something a husband who is worried about his wife would do.
Before he could even sort out his thoughts, an unusual heat suddenly rose from his body.
Without any warning, it was as if a switch deep inside my body had been suddenly flipped.
A warm current started from the lower abdomen and spread along the meridians to the limbs.
My heart started racing uncontrollably, my fingers felt slightly numb, the sweat I had just wiped away started seeping back out, and my back felt hot in waves.
Chu Nan bit his tongue, the pain briefly clearing his mind.
These symptoms are not fever; they are more like a reaction that occurs after being exposed to aphrodisiac drugs.
He strode back to the bedroom, reached out and grabbed Jiang Yingxue's wrist, placing three fingers on her pulse.
A few seconds later, his face turned completely grim.
Jiang Yingxue's pulse was disordered and rapid, and her blood and qi were surging, just like his own symptoms.
Pork rib soup!
Lu Baoliang took back the bowl of pork rib soup with added salt!
Chu Nan stood by the bed, clutching his phone; there was no need to confirm anymore.
Both he and Jiang Yingxue were drugged, and the person who drugged them was Lü Baoliang!
From initially inviting me to stay for dinner, to "forgetting to add salt" and taking all three bowls of soup back, to "going to find fever reducers" and then disappearing without a trace, every step was meticulously planned.
Jiang Yingxue on the bed began to toss and turn restlessly.
Her brows were furrowed, her breathing became more and more rapid, her body began to curl up uncontrollably, and her fingers unconsciously gripped the sheets.
She was an ordinary person, without any internal energy to protect her body. The impact of such a potent aphrodisiac on an ordinary woman's body would be devastating.
Once the medicinal effects penetrate the internal organs, they can cause damage to the nerves at best, and at worst, cause the blood and qi to flow in reverse, endangering life.
Chu Nan took a deep breath, forcibly activating his true energy to temporarily suppress the medicinal effects within his body, and then suspended his hands above Jiang Yingxue's body, slowly channeling his true energy into her acupoints through a method of transferring energy remotely.
At this time, there should be no direct physical contact, as any contact will aggravate the effects of the medication.
Her breathing gradually calmed down.
Her curled-up body slowly stretched out, and her furrowed brows relaxed a little, but her eyes still did not regain their clarity.
Clearly, true qi can only temporarily suppress the spread of the medicine's effects; it cannot eradicate the problem completely.
The effects of this aphrodisiac are far more troublesome than those Xue Beichen used on Xia Wantang.
What's even more distressing is that while Chu Nan was treating Jiang Yingxue, the medicinal effects within his own body began to launch a fierce counterattack.
The suppressed heat surged like a wild beast breaking free of its shackles, rushing from the lower abdomen to the chest, to the limbs, and to every nerve eroded by the drug.
He groaned and braced himself against the edge of the bed with one hand to avoid falling over; his knuckles were almost digging into the wood.
He forced himself to circulate his energy through a small cycle to suppress the intense heat back to within acceptable limits.
Jiang Yingxue on the bed began to toss and turn restlessly again.
Without the suppression of true qi, the medicinal power returned with renewed force, and this time the counterattack was even more ferocious than before.
Chu Nan gritted his teeth and raised his hands again.
This time, the medicine still managed to temporarily suppress the heat, but the effects of the medicine on his body erupted again, even more intensely than before, and the heat instantly broke through the defenses he had just built.
He had to withdraw his true energy and suppress himself, while Jiang Yingxue, on the other hand, became a wild horse again.
After several rounds, Chu Nan's true energy was greatly reduced, but the two people's condition did not improve at all.
He finally understood that the effects of the drug could not be eradicated.
With my current amount of true energy, I can only weigh the two options.
You either have to do everything you can to save people, exhausting your inner energy so that you are completely consumed by the medicine, and then something uncontrollable happens.
He either had to do everything he could to protect himself, or he could only watch helplessly as Jiang Yingxue was burned by the medicine until her blood and qi reversed.
If we continue to use this method of constant suppression, our true energy will eventually be depleted.
In the end, they will still be unable to escape that one and only fate.
The lotus bud on Chu Nanqian's position has not yet fully bloomed. Once it crosses that bottom line, the backlash from the Lotus Treasure Mirror will cripple him first!
