Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Rubbing Alcohol on the Body, Director Lu’s Benefit Has Arrived
Lu Hualiang’s heart tightened, and he rushed over immediately.
Xia Weibao weakly opened her eyes, then shut them again without strength.
Lu Hualiang checked her forehead, which was burning hot to an astonishing degree!
He hurriedly picked her up and ran towards the hospital.
When the doctor said she had a fever of forty degrees, his complexion changed.
“How could it be so serious.”
The doctor was scared by the fierce aura emanating from him. Cold sweat seeped on his forehead, “Director Lu, the young madam must have caught a chill last night.”
Lu Hualiang pursed his lips tightly, sitting in front of the hospital bed, holding Xia Weibao’s hand, his face was frighteningly somber.
Xia Weibao lifted her heavy eyelids slightly, then closed them again.
This act of pretending to be sick was exceedingly successful.
Suddenly, she felt a delicate hand gently grasp her other hand, then rub alcohol on the back of it.
Her Majesty the Empress was someone who had experienced the Imperial Harem, and she instantly guessed that the person holding her hand was a beauty!
Struggling to lift her heavy eyelids, wanting to catch a glimpse of the beauty’s charming face, she discovered…
There was another beauty on the side fiddling with a needle!
The Empress was so terrified that she almost rolled off the bed!
Her face filled with panic as she clutched Lu Hualiang’s arm, “No injections, no injections!”
She had experienced firsthand the power of these modern needles, inserted directly into the veins, painfully exhilarating!
Lu Hualiang felt distressed, and hurriedly pushed her back onto the bed, “No injections, it’s just an IV.”
Xia Weibao was even more terrified, trembling to her core. Was there a difference, was there really a difference!
If she had known the cost of faking sick was so severe, she wouldn’t have pretended.
Cough cough, the Empress seemed to have forgotten about the last time when Lu Hualiang had a fever and she forced him to get an injection…
“Young madam, I’ll be gentle, it won’t hurt.”
The beautiful nurse smiled at her.
Her allure was too powerful, causing Xia Weibao to be a bit distracted.
Seizing the moment, the nurse swiftly inserted the needle with a ‘pop’.
The pain made Xia Weibao burst into tears right there and then.
Her hand reflexively jerked, causing the blood to flow backward.
“What are you doing!”
Lu Hualiang roared in anger!
A chilling aura emanated from him, terrifying the pretty young nurses, making them tremble.
He quickly held down Xia Weibao’s hand, “Young madam, don’t move, put your hand down, relax.”
Xia Weibao’s eyes brimmed with tears. She also wanted to relax, but she just couldn’t do it.
Normally, she wasn’t someone who feared pain. In her previous life in the Jianghu, she wouldn’t even blink getting slashed by a sword.
But this needle, it truly was her nemesis, perhaps it was a psychological shadow.
“Take it out, take it out quickly!”
Seeing the blood still flowing backward, Lu Hualiang was furious.
The nurse realized the situation was dire and quickly removed the IV.
Blood spurted out from where the needle had been.
Xia Weibao nearly passed out from the pain.
After a chaotic flurry, they finally managed to stop the bleeding.
The Empress lay on the bed as if she had lost half her life, weak and listless.
The cost of pretending to be sick was too much to bear, and she decided she wouldn’t try it again so lightly.
What was most tragic was that, after all the commotion, the fever hadn’t subsided.
The doctors were worried sick.
A forty-degree fever, and she wouldn’t agree to an IV or get an injection, taking medicine alone wouldn’t suffice.
The fever had to be brought down quickly.
So, after Xia Weibao took her medicine, the nurse brought some water and alcohol.
Diluting it with water, they wiped down her body to physically cool her down.
Seeing the nurse come in, Xia Weibao was somewhat baffled.
In a feeble voice, she said, “What are you trying to do now?”
Don’t torture her anymore, she was at death’s door.
The pretty nurse smiled gently at her, “Young madam, I’ll help you wipe down your body with alcohol to reduce your temperature.”
Lu Hualiang looked up, a glint in his eyes, wiping down the body…
