"Chapter 55: I Have More Experience Than a Doctor"

In the middle of the night, Leng Xiyue woke up to find several men watching over her, feeling a wave of emotion.

"Xiaoyue is awake; I'll go get her something to eat," Lao Jiu said excitedly as he ran out.

"Sorry for troubling you all," Leng Xiyue said weakly.

She felt completely drained, struggling even to get out of bed. Now, not to mention returning, standing up would be a miracle.

"Xiaoyue, don't move around, lie back down. Your foot infection has caused a high fever," Hai Ge said.

Fever? Leng Xiyue couldn't believe it and touched her forehead, which indeed felt very hot.

Thinking of the serious injury on her left foot, Leng Xiyue knew without looking that it must be badly infected.

In her condition, she should be hospitalized immediately!

"Hai Ge, please take me to the hospital."

Hai Ge placed a cool towel on Leng Xiyue's forehead, "Don't worry, once the fever subsides, you'll be fine. I've taken care of them when they were sick; I have more experience than a doctor."

“……”

Knowing this man's stubborn nature, Leng Xiyue tried a different approach.

"Could I borrow your phone for a moment?"

"Sure!" Hai Ge handed over the phone without hesitation.

Leng Xiyue decided to call the hospital's emergency number herself, but just as she was about to dial, her abdomen started to hurt again, as if something was rolling inside.

Why would her stomach hurt? Wasn't it her foot that was injured?

It couldn't be the pearl causing trouble, could it?

Thinking of the pearl, Leng Xiyue regretted it deeply. She shouldn't have taken the pearl. Not only did she take the clam's pearl, but she also ate its meat, and now she was facing the consequences.

Beads of sweat dripped down, frightening Hai Ge.

"Xiaoyue, what's wrong, Xiaoyue?"

"I... I'm facing..."

Before she could finish saying "retribution," Leng Xiyue fainted again.

The next day.

At the Gong family villa.

Early in the morning, Gong Xinyi called Chen Yu and drove straight to the riverbank.

Looking at the endless expanse of water, Chen Yu felt uneasy.

"Mr. Gong, did you come here to..."

"When people die, their bodies eventually float to the surface," Gong Xinyi said with a heavy gaze, "I want to bring her back to the Gong family, to give her a proper status."

"But about these six children... Shouldn't we do a paternity test first? If they're not descendants of the Gong family, the old madam will certainly..."

Chen Yu dared not finish his sentence, but Gong Xinyi knew what he meant.

If the six children aren't Gong Xinyi's biological offspring, the grandmother definitely won't accept them, nor will she allow Gong Xinyi to bring a corpse back to the Gong family.

"Then let's do the test. Inform me as soon as the results are out. As for the old madam, let's not disclose anything about the children for now."

"Understood!"

Chen Yu turned to open the car door, but Gong Xinyi remained motionless.

He stared at the river surface, lost in thought until he began to hallucinate.

He saw Leng Xiyue dressed in a white gown, floating towards him like a fairy.

"Xiyue!" Gong Xinyi reached out excitedly.

At that moment, several ethereal figures appeared above the sea.

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, you're all here. Are you here to pick up Xiyue?"

The ghostly figures spoke in turn.

"Pick her up? Why should we? Is she a member of the Gong family?"

"You didn't even marry her, how could we welcome her?"

"Dad, Mom..."

Gong Xinyi tried to explain but was pulled back to reality by Chen Yu.

"Mr. Gong, let's go back. I'm really worried about you like this."

Chen Yu knew that Gong Xinyi had lost several family members at a young age and had suffered a significant mental shock, often experiencing hallucinations.

If he didn't bring him back to reality, he might fall ill again!

Gong Xinyi composed himself, realizing he was still surrounded by the endless river, and Leng Xiyue had not appeared at all.

Realizing his mental state was not good, he decisively turned around, "Let's go back!"
