Chapter 284 Dream?
"Okay, I'll go buy licorice right away. Tingnan, you stay by Aunt Ning's side the whole time. Doctor, do we need any other medicine? Was that drug harmful to her body?" Gao Haoran was very anxious, looking at Ning Xueyan's weak appearance, he felt like his heart was breaking.
The doctor nodded. "Her body is somewhat weak. After this ordeal, I'll prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine to help her recover."
"Thank you! Thank you, doctor! Please prescribe as much Chinese medicine as you like, even more is fine!" Gao Haoran wished he could give Ning Xueyan a thousand-year-old ginseng to nourish her.
The doctor understood the family's feelings very well, said he would consider it, and then waved goodbye and left.
Gao Haoran quickly went to the pharmacy to buy licorice and then ran to ask the doctor what to do if the person fell into a coma.
As the doctor instructed, Tingnan placed the licorice root under Ning Xueyan's tongue, and then he stared at it intently, with no one else around.
Song Yanchu told Tingnan to go back to school and come back after school. Lingling also went back, so her parents wouldn't cause trouble again. Lingling was very obedient; she said she would go back and keep an eye on things, to gather information.
Ning Xueyan didn't know when she would wake up. For the sake of her reputation, it would be better to have Tingnan and Lingling stay with her at night.
Ning Xueyan didn't wake up until the next morning. When she woke up, she saw Gao Haoran sitting upright in a chair by the bed. Was she dreaming? What was he doing here?
Before she could think further, Gao Haoran noticed that martial arts practitioners have very keen senses.
He had heard the faint sound of Ning Xueyan hitting the table yesterday. When he went to find the source of the sound, he heard Xueyan calling out "Mom" in fear.
Gao Haoran then took the opportunity to impersonate Ning's mother—an old woman's voice—which terrified everyone. This was for the best; it didn't affect Xueyan much. Otherwise, if a man appeared in her room, rumors would spread like wildfire.
Don't ask how Gao Haoran's voice is so well imitated. Don't forget that he was introduced to Nan by Liu Dayong, Nan's lip-reading master. As a good friend, he was influenced by Liu Dayong's teachings and, being smart, he learned a little bit himself, which came in handy this time.
"Xueyan, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? Here, drink some licorice water to help you detox." Gao Haoran wanted to help Ning Xueyan sit up, but then felt it was inconvenient and quickly withdrew his hand.
Ning Xueyan grabbed his hand as he tried to pull it back, and naturally took a sip from Gao Haoran's cup-holding hand. It was so sweet! Even if this was a dream, she hoped to wake up slowly.
As the pig-headed man pressed closer, she suddenly thought of this man. She blamed herself for being too reserved; she could clearly sense his affection, why didn't she ask more—did he have a family? Being with him would surely be wonderful!
"Xueyan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Gao Haoran saw Ning Xueyan looking unsteady and turned to call the doctor.
Ning Xueyan gripped his arm tightly. It felt so real; his arm muscles were so firm, and his masculine scent was overwhelming. Ning Xueyan slapped herself. "Ouch!" It hurts! It really does!
"Xueyan, what's wrong? Don't scare me, I'll go call the doctor!" Gao Haoran hurriedly grabbed her hand, completely frightened. Last night, Tingnan and Lingling stayed with him at the hospital, and he sat in the corridor all night without sleeping.
In the morning, Ting Nan and Ling Ling went to school. Song Yanchu came to relieve them. Seeing that Xue Yan was still asleep, he went to buy breakfast. There was no one else in the ward at this time, so he had to go and call the doctor himself, but Ning Xue Yan wouldn't let go of him.
"Gao Haoran?" Ning Xueyan called out tentatively.
Gao Haoran quickly replied, "Yes! It's me, I'm here. Xueyan, don't be afraid, it's alright, we're at the hospital now."
Ning Xueyan had just woken up, and her eyes were only on Gao Haoran. Only then did she look around. The walls were white, and the white sheets were printed with red and white crosses.
"What's wrong with me? Where is my mother?" Mother remembered hearing her mother's voice before she fell into a deep sleep.
