He then turned to the private doctor beside him.
"What's going on? Why isn't the painkiller working today?"
"This!"
Despite his extensive experience, the private doctor had never encountered such a situation before.
The dosage of the painkiller was already close to double that for a normal person.
If they increased it further, they might be able to keep the small, pitiable girl quiet.
But no one could guarantee that she would wake up in one piece.
The private doctor brought over the equipment and began to examine it.
Instantly, he felt as if his mind had been struck by lightning.
Qin Nuannuan's condition was worse than it had been on the previous few occasions.
Although he had observed a few days prior that
this severe pain occurred every few days.
And each subsequent episode was several times more intense than the last.
This was clearly a precursor to a major problem.
But unfortunately, the private doctor hadn't taken it seriously at the time. Now,
it was too late!
The Qin family was wealthy.
They could buy anything with money.
This naturally included the medical equipment used to sustain life.
However, in the current situation, what they had on hand was definitely not enough.
The private doctor was, after all, human.
In such circumstances,
his first reaction was self-preservation.
He couldn't afford to be implicated because Qin Nuannuan's condition had suddenly exceeded expectations.
Realizing that this situation was beyond his ability to resolve quickly,
the private doctor's demeanor changed immediately.
He glanced at Qin Qiong beside him and said with a worried expression,
"Mr. Qin, the medical equipment here is limited. We'll have to send Miss to the hospital."
The private doctor's words were like a royal decree, a divine sound from beyond the heavens, to Qin Qiong at this moment.
Hearing this, Qin Qiong dared not delay. "Someone, take Miss to the hospital. Arrange the best for me."
He then looked at the private doctor.
After all, this person had been in this profession for a long time, and Qin Qiong understood that he could facilitate things.
One of the leading security guards immediately prepared to act.
But at that moment, the private doctor stopped Qin Qiong.
"Taking her yourself is too risky."
"Then what should we do?"
Qin Qiong was stunned. She was like an ant on a hot pan.
"Of course, we should call an ambulance."
With that, the private doctor immediately asked a nurse to make the call.
"Mr. Qin, an ambulance also has emergency equipment that can save lives."
After the explanation, the increasingly questioning look on Qin Qiong's face was temporarily suppressed.
However, the distress on her face had not disappeared.
But Qin Nuannuan could no longer bear it.
She had been struggling just moments ago, her consciousness still relatively clear.
Now, she had fainted completely.
What was most heartbreaking was that
even so, the nerve pain throughout her body had not subsided.
The pain, coming in waves like the ocean's tide, was relentless, causing her muscles to tremble uncontrollably.
"Doctor, is she really going to be alright?"
"She'll be fine. Don't worry, the ambulance will be here soon."
The private doctor appeared extremely calm on the surface.
However, his heart was pounding uncontrollably.
Less than three seconds after he said this,
the scene before him caused a cold sweat to break out on his back.
From the corner of Qin Nuannuan's mouth, curled up on the ground,
a bit of pale white saliva slowly dripped out.
The nurse standing beside them was instantly dumbfounded.
She cautiously tugged at the doctor's sleeve, about to say something.
However, the doctor stopped her with a look.
At this point, any further words would be his responsibility.
The private doctor was eager to avoid such a burden.
However, the doctor's concealment could not escape Qin Qiong's eyes.
Qin Qiong was not blind.
She had also noticed this phenomenon.
She quickly asked, "What do we do now?"
Foaming at the mouth was no small matter.
Qin Qiong's heart felt as if it were about to shatter.
"This... let's wait until the ambulance arrives," the private doctor said in a low voice.
What else could he do?
The private doctor's heart was in turmoil.
He could only maintain a pleasant attitude and a calm demeanor, leaving things to fate.
At this moment, he could only hope that the ambulance would arrive sooner.
Qin Qiong wanted to say more, but she was not a doctor and was unsure.
However, before she could ask further,
a somewhat unfamiliar voice suddenly echoed from the hall.
"Madam, this situation is not suitable for delay. The ambulance will take at least eight minutes to get here. But judging by the current situation, even five minutes might be difficult."
"Who?"
Qin Qiong's already frayed nerves tightened abruptly.
This was outrageous.
Wasn't he cursing her daughter to die sooner?
Following the sound, Qin Qiong saw the person she disliked the most in her eyes.
Lu Feng.
"What are you talking about, you brat?"
Qin Qiong shouted angrily.
Lin Mei, seeing this, quickly pulled Lu Feng's arm.
"Lu Feng."
She looked at Lu Feng with eyes full of worry.
Qin Qiong had completely lost her composure.
Moreover, anyone in such a situation would react similarly.
Wasn't Lu Feng adding fuel to the fire?
Lin Mei worried that this fire would erupt into a pillar of flame.
And then, it wouldn't be something that could be extinguished with a few words.
However, Lin Mei's words were met with only a brief reply from Lu Feng.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Given Qin Nuannuan's current state,
although he had no interaction with Qin Nuannuan,
Lu Feng felt a pang of sympathy in his heart.
This was what was called compassion.
The ability to empathize and understand what others are thinking.
However, objectively speaking, this unfortunate situation presented him with an opportunity.
Lu Feng was seizing this opportunity.
Lu Feng moved his jaw.
"Mr. Qin, this is what Traditional Chinese Medicine calls invasion of evil toxins, or nerve pain. It's mainly caused by the original illness and prolonged external treatment."
This was also a significant weakness of Western medicine.
Western medicine, whether through drugs or technical means, could achieve rapid and immediate results.
The effects were immediate.
However, this method of treatment was forcibly external.
The damage to the human body was not to be underestimated.
For chronic illnesses like Qin Nuannuan's,
if this method were relied upon for a long time,
the side effects of external intervention would continuously accumulate in the patient.
This accumulation, day by day, would not show any noticeable changes.
But like a thermos filled with hot water,
over time, a layer of brownish-yellow scale would be found inside the kettle.
This was the same principle.
Qin Qiong was taken aback by Lu Feng's words.
What this young man was saying did indeed make sense.
This was beyond her expectations.
However, he was an outsider, after all.
And he was from the Lin family, so the tension in Qin Qiong's heart did not ease at all.
"I don't understand what you're saying, and I don't want to. But I advise you to stay away. We haven't settled our accounts yet!"
Qin Qiong stared intently at Lu Feng.
