Chapter 11 Special Medicine
- "It's already late now, he's probably already asleep. I'll contact him tomorrow, and we can visit him together at noon," Qin Fei said after a moment of thought.
- "Alright, let's go to sleep then," Yang Ruoxi said happily, unaware of the ambiguous nature of her words.
- Qin Fei misunderstood and glanced at Yang Ruoxi's slender figure before tentatively asking, "Wife, shall we sleep together?"
- Yang Ruoxi immediately realized what she had said and her face turned red with embarrassment. She glared at Qin Fei and said, "You sleep on the floor!"
- "Oh, my dad said he wanted me to find something to do for him," Qin Fei muttered to himself. He knew that it wasn't realistic to have a baby with Yang Ruoxi tonight. He would have to take it slow and wait until Yang Ruoxi truly liked him. Then everything would naturally fall into place.
- "Don't always bring up my dad!" Yang Ruoxi's face grew even redder as she stared at him. In truth, she also felt something different about Qin Fei. It seemed like he had become more attractive. However, there was still a long way to go before she truly fell for him.
- "I'm going to take a shower and then sleep on the floor later," Qin Fei said with some frustration. He ran his hand through his hair and walked into the bathroom.
- However, when he came out after showering, the room was empty. Qin Fei couldn't help but feel suspicious. "Huh, where is everyone?"
- At that moment, the sound of an ambulance came from downstairs, instantly shocking Qin Fei. Could someone in the family be sick?
- Wearing slippers, he hurried downstairs and saw two nurses and Yang Ruoxi pushing the unconscious Yang Guoming out.
- Li Meifang was wiping her tears on the side, looking lost and distressed.
- "Wife, what happened to dad?" Qin Fei walked over and asked.
- "He had a relapse of his old illness. I'm accompanying him to the hospital. Stay at home and don't wander around," Yang Ruoxi instructed before going outside to start the car.
- Although Qin Fei had regained his normal intelligence, she still treated him like a child out of habit.
- Qin Fei was definitely worried. He had noticed that something was wrong with Yang Guoming's health a long time ago.
- He couldn't let Yang Ruoxi go to the hospital alone. As her husband, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
- "Wife, I'm the man of the house. If dad is sick, I should be the one taking care of him."
- "That's fine, let's go." Yang Ruoxi was anxious and didn't say much. She followed the ambulance and arrived at the hospital.
- After being admitted to the emergency room, several doctors pushed Yang Guoming in, while Qin Fei and Yang Ruoxi waited outside.
- After about ten minutes, a doctor came out with a frown and asked, "Are you the patient's family?"
- "Yes!" Qin Fei and Yang Ruoxi nodded.
- "The patient has atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. We need C5 monoclonal antibodies, and only the head of the internal medicine department is qualified to prescribe them. You should go find him. By the way, be prepared mentally." The doctor's tone was serious.
- "Does that mean... my... my father...?" Yang Ruoxi's body trembled, and tears started rolling down her cheeks.
- "The patient's condition is temporarily stable, but the problem lies in the medication. C5 monoclonal antibodies not only cost $450,000 per dose, but they are also not allowed for general use. If you can't obtain this medication, the patient won't last long." The doctor spoke honestly.
- "Alright, we will get this medication." Qin Fei thought for a moment and said, "It's just $450,000, which is only around three million. I just earned five million today. Besides, as long as we stabilize Yang Guoming's condition, I can go find that old man tomorrow and hopefully cure my father-in-law."
- "You don't understand, this medication... forget it, you can give it a try." The doctor shook his head and didn't say anything more.
- He knew very well that this medication couldn't be obtained just by having money. It was mainly reserved for a small number of people due to its effectiveness, and the hospital had very limited reserves.
- In other words, it was meant for important figures, and ordinary people couldn't afford it or have the qualifications to use it.
- Yang Ruoxi wiped her eyes, stabilized her emotions, and looked at Qin Fei, saying, "Um... can you lend me that money?"
- In Yang Ruoxi's mind, she had never really regarded Qin Fei as her husband.
- But now they needed money for the medication, and Qin Fei happened to have five million.
- She wasn't sure if Qin Fei would readily give her the money. After all, not everyone was willing to spend $450,000 on a single dose of a special medication. So she hesitated, afraid that Qin Fei wouldn't agree.
- Unexpectedly, Qin Fei just laughed heartily and said, "Wife, you don't need to discuss it with me. What's mine is yours. Don't just talk about five million, even if it's a billion, you can use it however you want."
- "Okay, let's go find the head of the internal medicine department," Yang Ruoxi's eyes welled up with tears, and she walked towards the office of the head of the internal medicine department with Qin Fei.
- Inside, there was a middle-aged man wearing a white coat, with slightly receding hair and black-framed glasses, giving off a rigid and conservative impression.
- When he saw Yang Ruoxi, the small eyes behind the lenses brightened up: "You... you are Ruoxi?"
- "You are..." Yang Ruoxi was stunned, she had met many people over the years, but for a moment, she couldn't remember who this middle-aged man was.
- "It's me, I'm Zhang Hua. Jiangcheng Medical University, class of 2009. We met when we had an exchange event with the police academy that year." Zhang Hua stood up and looked Yang Ruoxi up and down with his eyes.
- "Senior, it's you." Yang Ruoxi felt a bit awkward.
- It turned out that when Yang Ruoxi had just entered her freshman year, she was chosen as the most beautiful school flower of the police academy. At that time, Zhang Hua was already a senior in his fourth year. When the two schools had an exchange event, he fell in love with Yang Ruoxi at first sight. They exchanged a few text messages, and he asked her to watch a movie, but Yang Ruoxi politely declined.
- Unexpectedly, now Yang Ruoxi was in need of Zhang Hua's help, which made her feel a bit uncomfortable.
- Upon recognizing Yang Ruoxi, Zhang Hua couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. "Yes, it's been seven or eight years. We meet again, Ruoxi. You look even more beautiful than before!"
- "Thank you." Yang Ruoxi took a step back, feeling uncomfortable under Zhang Hua's gaze.
- Although she felt uneasy, Yang Ruoxi had to maintain a facade, considering that her father's life was at stake.
- However, Qin Fei was displeased. Zhang Hua's gaze was too lewd, as if he wanted to undress Yang Ruoxi. It was repulsive.
- "Director Zhang, we're here to get medicine."
- "Ruoxi, who is this?" Zhang Hua pushed up his black-framed glasses and looked at Qin Fei, who was wearing a tank top and flip-flops.
- "He is my husband." Yang Ruoxi instinctively stood in front of Qin Fei.
- "Oh... your husband." Zhang Hua's smile froze, and there was a hint of hostility in his gaze towards Qin Fei.
- "May I ask, what does our relationship have to do with getting medicine?" Qin Fei's mind was clear, and he could tell at a glance that Zhang Hua had feelings for Yang Ruoxi. Therefore, his tone was unfriendly.
- Zhang Hua inwardly snorted and paid no attention to Qin Fei. However, out of duty, he still casually asked, "So, what medicine do you need?"
- "Senior, we need C5 monoclonal antibody. My dad is sick," Yang Ruoxi gently squeezed Qin Fei's hand and spoke up first.
- She knew that Qin Fei was jealous, but she had no choice. She needed his help now, so she couldn't afford to ruin their relationship.
- "C5 monoclonal antibody?" Zhang Hua dragged out his words and sat down on the sofa with an official tone. "Ruoxi, it's not that I don't want to help you, but it's difficult to prescribe such medicine."
- "So, Senior, please help me as much as you can," Yang Ruoxi forced a smile. She had no choice but to ask for help for the first time in order to save her father.
- Usually, apart from Qin Fei, she was distant towards any other man.
- "Well... let me think of a solution." Zhang Hua opened his computer and pretended to search for it. He didn't believe that Yang Ruoxi's husband, who seemed useless, could afford such an expensive medicine.
- After a few minutes, Zhang Hua's face showed a troubled expression as he glanced at Yang Ruoxi.
- "Ruoxi, there is one dose of C5 monoclonal antibody available, but I can't prescribe it."
- "Why?" Yang Ruoxi asked, puzzled.
- "To be honest, this dose has already been reserved by a VIP. As the largest blood specialist hospital in the south, many VIPs come here for treatment every year, and C5 monoclonal antibody is the most sought-after drug. So, there simply isn't enough supply to meet the demand." Zhang Hua sighed. The information on the medicine showed that it had already been "reserved," and he didn't dare to prescribe it. Otherwise, if he faced blame later, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
- "What do we do now?" Yang Ruoxi's heart sank, and she bit her lip tightly. "Senior, is there really no other way?"
- "Well..." Zhang Hua saw that Yang Ruoxi was on the verge of tears and felt a pang of sympathy. A bold idea crossed his mind, and he said, "Then let your husband wait outside, and I'll talk to you alone."
- "Okay, wait for me outside," Yang Ruoxi glanced at Qin Fei and said.
