Chapter 625: Chapter 625: Unexplained Fever (1)_1

And they knew in their hearts that such a high temperature, if it continued to not come down, the patient could be in mortal danger. Even if it wasn’t life-threatening, the patient’s brain might get damaged from the fever.

In such a case, they didn’t dare to speak to the two leaders about it. They feared that by saying this, they might provoke the wrath of the two leaders.

Gao Yong was also anxious. He couldn’t let the master he had finally found be burned away by the fever. If something happened to his master, Situ Xin, his family’s Old Master would surely not let him off. They would say that having studied medicine for so many years and being unable to save his own master, what was the point of him being a doctor?

But he had already performed a full body check on Situ Xin. Apart from Situ Xin’s high temperature, nothing unusual could be found. Yet Situ Xin remained in this state, the high fever not subsiding, remaining unconscious.

"Old leader, please don’t worry. I will do my utmost to find the cause of my master’s fever," Gao Yong didn’t mention that in his heart, he had already planned that if Situ Xin’s temperature didn’t come down by dawn, he would personally call his grandfather and ask for Old Master Situ to intervene.

Gao Yong’s intentions were good, but the reality was cruel.

Situ Xin’s temperature maintained at 43 degrees, with no sign of dropping. Gao Yong watched the minute hand on the clock move forward, and when it pointed to four o’clock, looking at the thermometer he had just measured for Situ Xin, he wiped his face and said to Old Master Situ, "Old leader, you wait here, I’ll go call my family’s Old Master right away, let him come over and have a look." This was the last resort for Gao Yong.

Old Master Situ and the others had kept vigil by Situ Xin’s bedside all night.

That whole night, as Old Master Situ and the others watched over Situ Xin’s fever-flushed little face, they could do nothing but worry anxiously. Loo Yaxin and Old Madam Situ were so anxious that blisters had formed on their mouths. Old Master Situ and Situ Haotian’s eyes were full of red blood vessels.

"Why are you mentioning calling your family’s Old Master now? What have you been doing before this?" Old Master Situ, reminded by Gao Yong’s words, suddenly remembered that Gao Yong’s grandfather was a national hand, maybe he really could cure his precious granddaughter. "Hurry up and go."

When Gao Yong stepped out to call his grandfather, Loo Yaxin, watching the sky slowly brightening, said to Old Master Situ and Old Madam, "Dad, Mom, I see it’s getting light. I’ll go call my father and inform him of Baby’s illness."

Old Master Situ thought for a moment and nodded, "Go ahead." His relative, his old brother, cared for and valued Situ Xin not a bit less than he did, so it was only right to inform him of Situ Xin’s illness.

Old Master Gao and Old Master Loo almost arrived at the same time.

As Old Madam Loo came in, she grabbed her daughter’s hand with an anxious expression, asking about the condition of her precious granddaughter. Meanwhile, Gao Yong’s grandfather led by Gao Yong went to diagnose Situ Xin’s pulse.

Gao Yong’s grandfather’s hand rested on Situ Xin’s slender arm, feeling her pulse. From the moment his hand touched Situ Xin’s, his brow was furrowed, his face heavy with concern. This worried Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo, and Gao Yong.

"Grandfather, how is it?" Gao Yong asked eagerly.

Gao Yong’s grandfather shook his head, a gesture that sent a chill down the spine of everyone present.

However, Old Master Gao’s ensuing words slightly relieved the gloom for Old Master Situ and the others, "I cannot diagnose what ailment this young lady has or the cause of her persistent fever." This baffling situation left Old Master Gao full of doubts.

Xiao Muli in the hospital room, waiting for Situ Xin’s arrival, delightedly thought of how to be affectionate with Situ Xin upon her arrival, to make up for the sweet moments interrupted by Situ Jin these past days.

And every day waiting for Situ Xin to arrive had become Xiao Muli’s only expectation since his hospitalization.

But today, Xiao Muli waited a long time, watching as it neared noon, and Situ Xin’s figure had not appeared. The longer he stared at the silent door, the greater his unease grew.

"Creak" the sound of the door opening. Hearing it, joy mingled with the anxiety in Xiao Muli’s eyes, but when the door opened and he saw his grandfather, Old Master Xiao, coming in, disappointment was unmistakable on his face.

Xiao Muli’s disappointed expression was fully seen by Old Master Xiao. However, this time, he was not in the mood to joke with Xiao Muli. Situ Xin was still lying in the hospital bed with a fever. Old Master Xiao looked at Xiao Muli with a stern face and said, "Muli, you’re waiting for Xiao Xin, aren’t you? She won’t be coming today."

"Xiao Xin won’t come? Why? What happened to her?" Xiao Muli’s unease intensified.

"Xiao Xin is ill. She’s in the hospital right now." Old Master Xiao hadn’t even finished speaking before his grandson, Xiao Muli, was already getting off the bed, ready to walk out of the room.

"Where are you going?" Old Master Xiao knew what his grandson intended, but he still asked.

"To see Xiao Xin." Upon hearing that Situ Xin was ill, Xiao Muli couldn’t care about anything else. He just wanted to rush to Situ Xin’s side, to be with her.

"Get back here. I haven’t told you which hospital, which room, why are you rushing?" Although Old Master Xiao said this, he had come specifically to inform Xiao Muli about Situ Xin’s illness.

Moreover, Situ Xin’s illness had come on with a vengeance, and until the moment he came to Xiao Muli, there was no sign of her temperature dropping—a huge concern not just for the Situ family, but the Loo family as well, and the hospital’s dean, doctors, and nurses were all as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"Which room?" Although Xiao Muli was in a hurry, he could tell his grandfather had come directly from seeing Xiao Xin to notify him, so he only asked which room Situ Xin was in.
