Your Beloved Sweetheart Is Online

Chapter 276 - 278 Like a Wounded Little Animal_1

"The man accelerated his pace!

The lazy smile on his face completely vanished. When he was about to reach the room in the inner house, his face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip down from it: "What on earth has happened?"

"We don’t know, Miss Chen Xing seems to be sick. We have already called Doctor Tian to come, he’s in the middle of diagnosing her." The servant was genuinely fearful.

Gu Shaocheng pushed past the obstructing servant, quickly making his way into the bedroom.

His first sight was of Chen Xing on the bed. She was curled up under the covers, like a small injured animal.

Gu Shaocheng’s heart softened for a moment, before clenching tightly.

Without wasting any time for extra words, he quickly moved to the side of the bed, slightly leaning over to look at her ashen face, "Why is your face so pale?"

He extended his other hand to feel her forehead. It was so hot it almost burnt his palm. Gu Shaocheng’s gaze deepened: "Doctor Tian, what’s wrong with her?"

Chen Xing, in a daze, saw his face swaying in front of her.

A strong sense of worry poured out from him.

In that moment, the overwhelming feeling of injustice rushed from her gut, and she restrained the tears in her eyes.

She was in so much pain that she was sweating, but she held onto his waist tightly with both hands, refusing to let go, and tears rolled down her face: "I’m itchy... I am so itchy, it hurts... it really hurts..."

Perhaps when people are ill, they are especially vulnerable and show their ordinarily hidden feelings of dependence.

It’s often said that sick people are like children, particularly overdramatic, especially in the arms of the people they rely on.

Of course, our Chen Xing was no exception.

The way she clung tightly to Gu Shaocheng, it was definitely the most dangerous weapon in the world against him. Even Gu Shaocheng himself was taken aback and unable to react. He happily sat on the bed and cradled her upper body, while his puzzled gaze fell on the red rash on her arm.

His voice was tender and filled with sympathy as he asked, "Where does it hurt? Where does it itch?"

"Everywhere itches, everywhere."

Every inch of her skin was unbearably itchy, and her head was dizzy. She felt both cold and hot at the same time and felt like throwing up. She was struggling to keep her eyelids open and to stay conscious, her lips tightly pressed together, she moaned in a very low voice. Her moaning made Gu Shaocheng’s heart go soft.

Gu Shaocheng flung open her nightgown to reveal red spots all over her body. The sight was so startling that his eyes twitched: "Why are there so many red rashes?"

He looked at Doctor Tian, his eyes deep, his expression serious: "Tell me what’s going on?"

Doctor Tian lifted Chen Xing’s eyelids, checked her over again, and asked her about any other symptoms.

Chen Xing, with great difficulty, thought for a while, "I vomited earlier, and also had diarrhea, it feels like... like nausea. Doctor, am I going to die?"

Doctor Tian furrowed his brow, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Miss Chenxing, are you on your period? Have you been using tampons?"

Chenxing, whose pale face was too weak to blush, nodded weakly, "Yes. I had my period this morning... I didn’t have any pads, a girl lent me a tampon. Is there... is there a problem?"

"It should be toxic shock syndrome."

Gu Shaocheng incredulously looked at Chen Xing who had passed out: "Poisoned? Who had the audacity to poison her?"

"It’s not poisoning, it’s toxic shock syndrome."

This is just a medical term and not about someone poisoning her, but unfortunately, it seems that President Gu interpreted it this way. He was instantly furious and wished he could grind the perpetrator to dust!
