Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 480 - 478: You Have Acute Appendicitis

What exactly brought this about?

Li Yan, knowing the result, had his face turning pale with fright.

Five minutes later, he appeared in the hospital room.

Lu Jinyang was still holding the same pose as when he left, his back view looked somewhat desolate. Hearing the sounds, he turned his head back, but quickly turned away again.

"It hasn’t even been an hour, why are you back already?"

Li Yan did not immediately respond to his question, taking slow steps forward, stopping behind Lu Jinyang.

He said, "I have something to tell you."

"Hmm."

"The extra anesthetic found in your sister-in-law, I have found the source."

At that, the previously calm Lu Jinyang suddenly stood up, eyes wide staring at him.

Li Yan continued: "It’s on the Contraceptive Ring."

With that, he took out a transparent sealed bag, in which was a Contraceptive Ring, "It’s this, take a look for yourself."

Lu Jinyang took it and examined it with a cold expression, his gaze lingering long on a particular spot, "Empty?"

"Yes!" Li Yan said: "Three substandard Contraceptive Rings are hollow, filled with anesthetic inside."

After speaking, Li Yan fell silent, waiting for Lu Jinyang to speak.

Lu Jinyang’s eyes never left the hollow Contraceptive Ring, his gaze murky and uncertain.

After a long while, he handed the Contraceptive Ring back to Li Yan, opened his mouth as if about to say something, but then he saw Li Yan suddenly looking delighted towards his back, he also turned to look and to his surprise, Xiao Qing was awake!

Somehow, despite Li Yan running first to the bedside, by the time he reached, Lu Jinyang was already sitting beside the bed holding Xiao Qing’s hand.

He: "..."

The moment Xiao Qing opened her eyes, her features twisted in pain. As she gradually gathered her senses and saw the surrounding equipment, she realized she was in a hospital.

"How are you feeling?"

The familiar, deep voice sounded beside her, Xiao Qing slowly turned her head, seeing a familiar face and a man in a white coat. He was holding a transparent bag containing something she hadn’t seen before.

"What happened to me?" she asked.

"You’re fine, just had a minor surgery, you’ll be up in a few days."

Minor surgery?

Xiao Qing frowned, clearly remembering the pain in her belly before she fainted, could it be related to her stomach?

Before she could ask, Li Yan preemptively cleared her confusion.

"Here’s the thing, sister-in-law, you had acute appendicitis and fainted from the pain, we removed your appendix, and you’ll be able to get out of bed in a few days."

"Acute appendicitis?"

Li Yan nodded earnestly, "Yes, in severe cases some people can’t handle it and faint, but don’t worry, you’re fine now."

As Li Yan spoke, Lu Jinyang gave him an inconspicuous glance but said nothing.

Xiao Qing actually believed what Li Yan said, as she felt there was no reason for a doctor like him to lie to her.

Li Yan internally sighed in relief, assured nothing major was wrong, and quickly slipped away.

Only two people were left in the hospital room.

Probably because it was Lu Jinyang’s first time taking care of someone sick, he sat there doing nothing.

Xiao Qing sighed, "Lu Jinyang, are you dumb? Don’t you know to pour me some water?"

"Oh, wait a second."

"Nevermind, I should probably avoid water for a while after surgery, I’ll just bear with it."

So Lu Jinyang sat back down, continuing to stare at Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing, feeling uneasy under his gaze, turned her face away and asked, "How is Lin Xiaoxiao? Have you heard anything about her?"
