Shen Jinxi fainted and was taken to the hospital. It turned out to be a relapse of anemia.
Shen Qingqing couldn't believe it, "This is impossible. I gave the child the special medicine, and the physical examination results at the time also indicated that the child's health had recovered."
The doctor carefully examined the scans and said gravely, "This special medicine is only effective in the short term."
"What do you mean?"
"It means that it can create a cured effect in a short period, but it will relapse after the term expires." The doctor was also surprised, "This special medicine even fooled me."
Simply put, this special medicine was good enough to pass for the real thing, and it was indeed effective, just for a very short duration.
A sharp glint flashed in Shen Qingqing's eyes, which then turned to worry. "It actually tricked me... Doctor, how is Xi Xi's condition?"
"If the special medicine hadn't been used, she could have held on, but since it was used, her condition has worsened." The doctor shook his head. "The child has now fallen into a coma..."
Shen Qingqing stumbled and was supported by Fu Jingshu. Her eyes, bloodshot, stared at the operating room door.
The doctor said helplessly, "We can only maintain her condition now, and we don't know if she will wake up. We have used every method available. Now, it's all up to fate."
Old Madam Fu and Fu Tingsheng wore pained expressions.
How could anyone not be heartbroken when a perfectly healthy child suddenly became like this? Just this morning, the child was still clamoring to eat sugar cakes...
When the child was pushed out and moved to a general ward, a group of people gathered by the bedside, staring at him intently.
The child, small and frail, lay on the bed with a pale face.
Chenchen, worried about his younger brother, had also come to the hospital. From the moment he saw his brother, his eyes never left him. This guardian-like posture made the adults beside him feel teary-eyed.
Old Madam Fu looked at Shen Qingqing, knowing she must be the most distressed. "Qing girl, this is not your fault. Who could have imagined that the same medicine would have a fake one?"
Fu Jingshu also nodded slightly, "That's right, and it's not entirely fake either, just that its validity period is too short. If I had managed to get it back then, then now..."
The one lying here, unconscious, would have been Chenchen.
But no matter which child it was, it was enough to break their hearts.
"I'll go find the medicine!" Fu Tingsheng gritted his teeth. After spending time with the two children, he had grown to love them, and he couldn't lose either of them.
Old Madam Fu couldn't help but shed tears. "Is this... fate?"
Shen Qingqing slowly straightened her back. "I do not accept fate."
Everyone looked at her.
Shen Qingqing looked at Fu Jingshu, her face unusually solemn, but her eyes were exceptionally clear. "I have a way to make the child wake up now, but within a month, we must find a new special medicine."
Otherwise...
Seeing her so serious, Fu Jingshu understood her unspoken meaning. Without a second thought, he said, "I support you."
Old Madam Fu and Fu Tingsheng exchanged glances.
"What if we don't find it?"
Shen Qingqing bit her lip slightly, not answering.
Fu Jingshu held her hand. "We will find it. I promise you."
After this period, they had already become a family, integrated into their very bones, and none of them could be missing. Although Old Madam Fu was filled with anxiety, she chose to believe Shen Qingqing.
"Qing girl, go ahead and do what you need to do. I support you."
Fu Tingsheng, not yet understanding why they trusted Shen Qingqing so much, couldn't help but ask, "What method do you have? Will it work?"
Old Madam Fu said, "Qing girl knows medicine, especially acupuncture."
Fu Tingsheng was somewhat surprised, but looking at the old madam and then at Fu Jingshu, he knew that both of them had full trust in Shen Qingqing. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, then you do it. Shall we wait outside?"
He and Old Madam Fu left, turning back several times.
Fu Jingshu was the last to leave, but before he did, he gently hugged her and whispered something in her ear, as tender as a spring breeze.
"I believe in you."
This sentence gave her infinite strength.
Shen Qingqing nodded. "Okay, go wait outside for me."
Fu Jingshu, with Chenchen, left the ward and closed the door. Although there were chairs nearby, they had no mind to sit down and both stayed by the ward door.
"Grandma, you sit and wait."
Old Madam Fu waved her hand. "How can I sit down at a time like this? I'm just thinking about when my great-grandson will wake up and talk to me."
A moment of silence fell upon them.
Suddenly, the old madam felt her hand being held. Looking down, she saw Chenchen.
Her nose tingled. "Good child, great-grandma knows, I still have you to keep me company. Shall we wait for your brother to wake up together?"
Chenchen nodded.
He believed in his brother and his mommy, so he wasn't afraid at all.
His brother would be safe!
The wait always felt long. After about an hour, Shen Qingqing's slightly tired voice came from inside.
"You can come in."
Everyone hurried in and saw that the child who had been unconscious just moments ago was now awake.
Although his face was still pale, his spirit seemed good, and a smile even graced his little face. "Great-grandma, Grandpa, Daddy..."
Finally, he looked at Chenchen. Before he could speak, Chenchen came over and took his hand.
The twins shared a tacit understanding, and everything was conveyed without words.
Old Madam Fu and Fu Tingsheng surrounded the child, their voices gentler than ever, afraid of startling him. Fu Jingshu, however, looked at Shen Qingqing and, seeing the fatigue and paleness on her face, took her hand.
"Are you alright?"
Shen Qingqing shook her head, a slight smile on her lips. "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"And he..."
Old Madam Fu wanted to ask, but considering the child was present, she swallowed her words and just gave Shen Qingqing a meaningful look.
When they had a moment alone outside, Shen Qingqing told them, "Find the special medicine within a month."
Old Madam Fu couldn't help but say, "A month is a bit too short. This medicine is hard to find."
Fu Tingsheng, however, said nothing more and turned to leave. "I'll handle this. Even if I have to search heaven and earth, I will find that medicine!"
"No, we will search for it."
Shen Qingqing and Fu Jingshu each made calls to Ke Lin and Lin Mo, and also informed their close friends.
Their friends were also influential.
As soon as they heard it was to save a life, everyone readily agreed.
Within three days, there was news.
"I've found out the special medicine is in Country H." The person on the phone was a friend of Fu Jingshu's, whom he hadn't contacted in many years. However, the friend was straightforward and had put in great effort to find this information. "But we don't have specific details yet, just that it's abroad. I think you might have to make a trip."
Although the information was vague, it was enough to point them in the right direction.
Fu Jingshu said in a low voice, "Thank you. I owe you one. Whatever you need in the future, just ask."
After hanging up the phone, they told their families the news and immediately packed their bags, booked their tickets. The weather on the day they departed was hazy and dull.
Fu Tingsheng saw them off with Chenchen.
"You must come back as soon as possible."
"Be careful on your journey!"
Fu Tingsheng was worried and repeatedly reminded them. Shen Qingqing knew what he was concerned about and said, "Dad, don't worry, we will definitely bring the medicine back."
