Consort?!
As Xie Yubai's words fell, everyone in the room, except for Xie Yubai, who was unaware of the situation, was shocked.
Bìyuān couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at Xie Yubai standing by Ye Huaran's bedside.
What nonsense was this young master spouting?! Even though he had an engagement with the lady, they were not yet married. How dare Xie Yubai slander the lady's reputation like this?
He Buxian also looked as if he had seen a ghost.
The young lady had already been cuckolded by the young master, and he still wanted to marry her?!
Sure, the young lady was pretty, but among the countless charming young ladies, there was nothing particularly outstanding about her. Even if she was exceptionally beautiful, why marry her if she wasn't virtuous? It was only summer, yet he was already preparing to wear the cuckold's hat before winter came?
Compared to the shocked expressions of Bìyuān and He Buxian, Níngxiāng's demeanor was much more courageous. Her delicate face was tense, and she spoke calmly, "Young Master, please show some restraint."
Xie Yubai's eyes narrowed as he glanced over, his voice cold and harsh, "It seems that the lesson I gave earlier wasn't enough."
A sudden pain struck Níngxiāng's chest, her face turning pale. However, she still met Xie Yubai's gaze without flinching.
Níngxiāng knew very well that if Xie Yubai wanted to punish her and Bìyuān, he could have done so in the woods last night. Xie Yubai was ruthless by nature, and Níngxiāng didn't believe his actions were out of kindness.
Therefore, there was only one possibility: this ruthless businessman had truly fallen for the lady.
Only when someone genuinely cared about another person would they be constantly restrained...
Xie Yubai finally seemed to notice the stark difference in demeanor between the two maids beside Ye Huaran.
Xie Yubai's gaze was too sharp, piercing like a substance, like an arrow that could pierce through one's soul.
Níngxiāng lowered her head slightly, timely revealing a hint of timidity.
The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point.
Doctor Zhong, who was busy writing a prescription with pen and paper borrowed from the hotel, did not notice the tension in the room.
He handed the completed prescription to Xie Yubai. "The patient's sudden fainting and sudden fever are related to the shock from the fire in the woods last night. It's likely her condition is not serious, but there may be issues with her airway and throat. I've prescribed some tranquilizers, lung-clearing and throat-moistening medicine, and fever reducers for the lady. The fever reducers need to be taken immediately. After taking them, record her temperature every 3 to 4 hours. If the high fever persists, do not hesitate to urgently send her to the hospital. If the patient successfully recovers and her temperature stabilizes, then there should be no major problem. After her temperature stabilizes, she can stop taking the fever reducers, but continue taking the tranquilizers, lung-clearing, and throat-moistening medicine three times a day."
His tone was natural, as if he hadn't noticed the identity of Xie Yubai and his companions.
With this, Xie Yubai's tightly wound nerves loosened slightly.
Taking the prescription from Doctor Zhong, Xie Yubai handed it to He Buxian behind him and thanked Doctor Zhong sincerely, "Thank you, Doctor Zhong."
Doctor Zhong shook his head and began packing up his medical kit. "It's my duty."
At that moment, Xie Yubai suddenly asked, "May I ask, Doctor Zhong, what effect does inhaling a large amount of smoke have on a person's temperament?"
Doctor Zhong paused in his movements, looking somewhat bewildered as he glanced at Xie Yubai, wondering if he had misheard or if the young master was teasing him.
Does inhaling smoke affect a person's temperament?
This kind of question could be answered by anyone on the street with normal intelligence.
Doctor Zhong sensed something. After Xie Yubai asked this question, not only did Xie Yubai's face become serious, but even his subordinates and the two maids in the room also looked anxious, eager to know the answer.
Could it be that the patient's temperament had truly changed after waking up?
Doctor Zhong closed his medical kit.
After pondering for a moment, he said cautiously, "Inhaling smoke can cause irreversible damage to a person's heart, lungs, and even brain, but it definitely will not affect their temperament. Madam's injuries are not serious, and with timely treatment, the impact of last night's fire on her heart, lungs, and brain should be limited."
Doctor Zhong paused and continued, "Of course, if a person's temperament changes after waking up from an accident, it's mostly due to psychological factors. For example, if the patient experiences excessive shock due to a dangerous situation, waking up to find their temperament greatly altered due to intense stimulation. I studied psychology during my studies abroad. I may not be an expert, but I understand a thing or two. May I ask Mr. Xie, could you please tell us specifically what changes Madam experienced in temperament after waking up?"
Xie Yubai: "..."
Xie Guinian, with a serious face: My wife woke up and started hugging me and kissing me.
Doctor Zhong: I apologize for my rudeness, I take my leave!
