Chapter 203: Chapter 26 Uninvited Guest

Lin Xiaoguai’s heart clenched, "How is Xiao Xue doing now?" From Brother Xiaoxi’s account, it was clear that although Xiao Xue had contracted meningitis this time, the situation was far less dangerous than in her past life, but it was still not to be underestimated. If things didn’t go well, Xiao Xue’s fate might even turn out worse than before.

"She was still okay yesterday. Although there was no improvement, there was no worsening either, but this morning she suddenly took a turn for the worse. She lay on the bed rolling in pain, clutching her head, and vomited everything she ate." Lin Xiaoxi’s voice was hoarse and unpleasant to listen to. This period had been extremely hard for their whole family. The fact that he had thought to call his younger sister was a sign of desperation. If they delayed any longer, he didn’t know if his daughter would still be alive.

[Host, she’s entered the meningitis phase after the septicemia phase already.] 001’s voice echoed in her mind.

Lin Xiaoguai felt a lurch in her heart, and couldn’t help but complain, "Brother, why did you wait until now to call me?" If he had called earlier, it would have been easier to resolve.

"I was afraid of disturbing your studies, especially since you’ve just started the new semester." Lin Xiaoxi gave a bitter smile. He regretted his hesitations now, wishing he hadn’t been so concerned.

"Wait a second, I’ll call my little aunt and ask if the city hospital has the antibiotics Xiao Xue needs."

After hanging up, Lin Xiaoguai quickly dialed the new home phone number her grandparents had in the city.

"Is it Xiuxiu? It’s your sister-in-law. I have a question for you. Can you get antibiotics for treating meningitis at your hospital?"

Since it was Saturday, Shen Xiu was fortunately at home on her day off.

"Antibiotics for treating meningitis?" Shen Xiu thought for a moment, "I think we should have them. I remember the hospital always keeps a reserve of that kind of antibiotics. It shouldn’t be a problem to get some."

Lin Xiaoguai breathed a sigh of relief, "Then Xiuxiu, please do me a favor and get some for me. My brother’s daughter has meningitis, and they’re running out of antibiotics. I’ll give your phone number to my brother so he can tell you how much they need, and after you get it, have him come to you to pick it up." Xiao Xue’s current situation meant she was in a meningitis outbreak area, and in order to prevent the spread to other areas, hospitals wouldn’t allow her to transfer to the city, so the hospital would certainly not sell the prescription drugs to her brother.

In fact, Lin Xiaoguai was lucky that Shen Xiu worked in a major hospital in the city. Otherwise, given the situation in the county, antibiotics from other hospitals would have likely all been diverted already, leaving only a large hospital like the one in the city to have a reserve.

"Is that so?" Shen Xiu was startled upon hearing this, "Sister-in-law, have Brother Xiaoxi call me immediately with the exact amounts, then I’ll go to the hospital right away to get the medicine. Since it’s urgent, I’ll personally deliver it to the county hospital; I’m free anyway."

"Good, then I’ll entrust this to you, Xiuxiu." Lin Xiaoguai didn’t stand on ceremony with her.

After hanging up, Lin Xiaoguai hurriedly called Lin Xiaoxi and gave him the home phone number in the city, asking him to contact Shen Xiu.

Once everything was arranged, Lin Xiaoguai was covered in a cold sweat and leaned against Shen Chi with a sigh of relief, "I hope it’s not too late."

Shen Chi comforted her by patting her shoulder, "Don’t worry. Since we can get the medicine, the outcome should be good."

Back at home, Lin Xiaoguai was still restless, drinking glass after glass of water, and anxiously said, "I don’t know how things are now."

Shen Chi hugged her, soothingly kissing her forehead, "Calm down, it will be okay."

Shen Chi’s words were purely for comfort, but Lin Xiaoguai suddenly remembered that she herself was a pharmacist, wasn’t she? Earth’s medicine might not be able to cure the after-effects of meningitis, but that didn’t mean that medicine from other planetary systems couldn’t. Her senses returning, she quickly recalled several formulas effective against the after-effects of meningitis, some based on traditional Chinese medicine and some on Western medicine.

With this in mind, her heart finally settled down.

"By the way, we should also get a phone installed at our place. It will make contact with family more convenient," Lin Xiaoguai suggested.

"Let’s wait a little longer." In response to Lin Xiaoguai’s puzzled look, Shen Chi softly said, "My position and military rank might be getting a promotion. Let’s see how things pan out first."

"Another promotion?" Lin Xiaoguai asked in surprise.

"What do you think I went to Myanmar for?" Shen Chi arched an eyebrow, "Without Liu Yuzhi as a stumbling block, my path is much smoother than before." Moreover, he could clearly sense the favors from above; if he believed Han Shouxin hadn’t done anything behind the scenes, he would be a fool.

However, he wasn’t so high-minded as to refuse advantages when they came his way. If there was power to be borrowed, he certainly wasn’t foolish enough to push it away.
