Chapter 282 Bloody Phlegm
Chapter 282 Bloody Phlegm
Children have simple minds. When they go crazy, they quickly forget the tasks assigned by their parents. When the desire to win comes up, they don't care who you are, they will just beat you up.
But Xu Weiwei was no pushover. Although she was not as strong as the others, she had more experience and skills, and was not at all weak against two. Plus, she had an ample supply of "bullets" in the back, and soon she beat the other side and made them flee in panic.
Seeing this, the others couldn't help but turn their attention and point them all at Xu Weiwei.
Xu Weiwei lamented that the strong are always so easy to be targeted, and she quickly ran away with her brothers.
"Stop pinching me, run! We're going to be beaten up!"
Kane saw that his sister was running too slowly, so he picked her up. In this way, a group of people staged a "chase battle" in the huge yard. Xu Weiwei laughed out loud for the first time that night.
Although they were happy, playing so crazy also had its price. Many children caught colds or had fevers after returning home. Xu Weiwei was no exception.
At night, half asleep and half awake, I felt a burst of heat, and my throat was dry and painful. Then I was awakened by the wet touch on my face. Xu Weiwei turned on the bedside lamp and found Beta lying on the bed, looking at me with worried eyes and making a soft hum in his throat.
Xu rubbed its head slightly, then rubbed his forehead against it: "Thank you, Beta."
She got out of bed and poured herself a glass of cold water. After drinking it in one gulp, she put on her coat and planned to go downstairs to pick out two pills to take.
Her footsteps were light, but the light still startled the maid on duty.
"Ms. Wei'er? What are you doing?"
"Shh - I'm a little hungry, so I came down to find something to eat. You go to sleep, don't worry about me." Xu Weiwei forced herself to be alert, acting as if nothing had happened.
Because the acting was so natural, the maid didn't suspect anything and just kindly asked, "What would you like to eat? I'll make you something hot."
"I don't have anything to eat, just something to fill my stomach."
"Well, feel free to call me if you need me."
Finally, the maid was sent away, and Xu breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a fever caused by external factors, and she could handle it herself. If the maid knew about it, she would have to alert the whole family. It was the middle of the night, and it was not good to disturb people's sleep.
Xu Weiwei took what she needed from the medicine cabinet and tiptoed back upstairs.
At 8:30 the next morning, the owners of the villa got up one after another and sat down at the dining table, but Xu Weiwei was the only one missing.
"Meilin, isn't Wei'er asleep yet? Go and see what's going on." The old lady said, looking in the direction of Xu Weiwei's bedroom on the second floor.
"Okay, I heard the lady's voice when I knocked on the door this morning. How come she isn't awake yet?" Meilin said as she strode upstairs.
"He must have been tired from playing outside last night, so he stayed in bed for a while," Mrs. Seaforth comforted him.
Meilin came to the outside of Xu Weiwei's bedroom, raised her wrist and knocked three times: "Miss, are you awake?"
After a pause, and hearing no movement, Meilin continued to shout: "Miss Wei'er - are you in there?"
With a click, the door opened from the inside. Meilin was about to preach when she found that it was Beta who opened the door, not Xu Weiwei.
When I walked in, Xu Weiwei had just sat up from the quilt, looking like she was still sleepy.
"Young lady! Wake up, stop being hysterical. The meal is ready, and everyone is here, except you. The old lady just asked, what do you want to wear today?..."
Meilin dug Xu Weiwei out of the bed while chattering, combed her hair and braided it.
"It's all right."
As soon as Xu Weiwei opened her mouth, Meilin was immediately startled. She threw her comb aside and held her little face. "What's wrong with your voice? Do you have a cold? Why is it so hoarse..."
Xu nodded slightly and admitted it.
Yesterday she had a feeling that this might not be the end. In winter, it was normal to have cold and stuffy nose symptoms after the fever subsided. It was better than letting them know that she had a fever.
"I told you! I shouldn't have let you go outside yesterday..." Meilin looked very annoyed. She quickly tidied up Xu Weiwei, then carried her to the restaurant and put her in her seat.
Under the surprised eyes of the whole family, he said: "The young lady has a cold."
"Cold? Oh..." The old lady's face was full of heartache. She held Xu Weiwei's little hand, but she couldn't bear to blame her.
"How come my brothers and I are okay?" Ryan wondered.
"You three are like little calves, what can happen? Can my sister be the same as you?" said the old lady unhappily.
"Eat first, baby, and then let the doctor come and check you out."
At this time, everyone still thought it was just a simple cold and didn't think it was serious.
Two weeks later, Xu Weiwei no longer had a runny nose, but she still coughed. It was like returning to the days of recuperation after being kidnapped, only worse than before.
Seeing that her energy and spirit seemed to be draining away with each cough, the adults finally realized that something was wrong.
It was just a dry cough before, but this time it was a heart-wrenching cough, and it was hard to stop once it started. Especially at night, it always took a long time before I could fall asleep.
Once, Meilin saw Xu Weiwei lying in front of the sink, coughing up brown sputum tinged with blood. She was so scared that tears welled up in her eyes. She thought Xu Weiwei was going to die soon, and hurried out to find Mrs. Sivers.
After coming back with a group of people with great fuss, Xu Weiwei had already washed away the bloody phlegm.
"Miss, it was right here just now! The young lady coughed up a mouthful of black phlegm! There was blood on it!"
Xu Weiwei corrected in a hoarse voice: "It's not black at all, that's too exaggerated."
Zhang Peter sighed: "How could it be washed away? Let me take it back for testing! Oh no!"
"Doctor Zhang, why is Wei'er coughing up blood? Why hasn't she gotten better after taking medicine for so long? Instead, her condition has gotten worse?"
"Coughing up phlegm is a normal reaction. She keeps coughing because there is phlegm in her throat. The mucus is irritating and she wants people to cough it out. The medicine I prescribed for her is to help the phlegm out, but the phlegm is brown and she coughs up blood..."
"This is a sign of tuberculosis, bronchitis or cardiovascular disease. Her treatment has not been delayed. It stands to reason that a minor cold should not have deteriorated to this point."
"The immunity is still too low."
Zhang Peter has been taking care of the Sifos family for so long that he is very familiar with everyone's physical condition. It can be said that the one who worries him most in this family is Xu Weiwei.
When he delivered her, he was not optimistic. But after a year away from home, she somehow recovered. Because he did not know much about it, he was still skeptical. Now it seems that it did have an impact.
No matter how much a broken porcelain plate is repaired, it cannot hide the fact that the crack exists.
