Chapter 820 - Vomited (2/2)
Xia Ruoxin stood up but was stopped by Chu Lui’s hand on her wrist. It was such a small wrist that he did not even dare to use much strength; he was afraid that he would accidentally fracture her hands.
“Don’t go.” The man’s voice was filled with too much helpless hurt. “Don’t go and don’t drink.”
Xia Ruoxin shook her head, and there was sarcasm written all over her face. What was she going to do if she did not go? Wait for her death?
She wanted to remove her hands, but Chu Lui held her tightly.
Xia Ruoxin opened her mouth, and there was suddenly a burning feeling in her stomach. Then, she puked without warning. Chu Lui hurriedly stretched out his hands and caught the residue she puked out.
Xia Ruoxin closed her eyes in pain and let her tears roll down the side of her cheeks. She continued to vomit until she puked out all the contents in her guts and the acids in her stomach.
There was a burning pain in her stomach and at the corner of her eye.
After she vomited, Chu Lui went to the washroom to wash his hands and took a hot towel over to wipe her face gently. He did not say anything the whole time and just used a hot towel to wipe her face gently and her hands. Then, he helped her change into a new set of clothes before he tidied himself.
Not long after, there was a ring at the door.
He opened the door, and a young man stood outside. He was Chu Lui’s new private doctor that just came back from his studies in Britain. His name was special and easy to remember; he was Jia Xinguo. Du Jingtang brought him back; his character and his medical skills were pretty good.
“What’s the matter?” Chu Lui asked Jia Xinguo.
Jia Xinguo took the stethoscope, and after listening half a day, he hung it back on his neck before looking up and walking out with Chu Lui.
“She’s not in a good state, and her body is terrible, but it can be fixed. However, it depends on her. Now, her gut isn’t doing very well, and she can’t continue on like this. She can’t drink alcohol all day long as it will cause gastric problems. If her condition worsens, she might have gastric bleeding which is not something that a small surgery can fix.
“Mr. Chu should know that sickness should be recuperated. Luckily, she isn’t in too bad of a state. She just needs to cut down on alcohol and regularly eat light stuff, less spicy food; then she would be fine.”
Jia Xinguo used his expertise and experience to explain it.
“Mr. Chu, I feel that her mental state is much worse than her physical condition. If you want her to recover fully, she can’t just eat medicine. It’s not my expertise, but if you wish, I can help Mr. Chu find this girl a psychologist.
“Also, I’ll put her on a drip for the next few days.”
“Sorry for the trouble.” Chu Lui sighed gently. Recently, he had been tormented quite badly, but this was good. She should rest for a few days.
Just that when Jia Xinguo held Xia Ruoxin’s arm that was as thin as her bone, Chu Lui’s heart hurt. Her blood vessels were obvious, and he could see the veins on her arms clearly.
