Upon hearing the nanny’s description, Yuexue’s condition appeared extremely urgent, and Shen Heyu couldn’t bother with anything else, driving straight to the hospital with the gas pedal floored.
When she arrived at the hospital, Yuexue’s examination had already concluded, and the doctor had just come out of the ward, encountering the anxiously pale-faced Shen Heyu.
Shen Heyu glanced sideways at Yuexue lying in the bed and asked the doctor, "Doctor, how is Yuexue’s condition?"
The doctor adjusted his golden thread glasses and took a deep breath, sizing up the young and beautiful woman before him, and spoke in a grave tone.
"You must be the patient’s mother," he said. "This is something I need to discuss with you in detail; please trouble yourself to come to my office."
Shen Heyu followed the doctor to his office, and upon entering, she quickly inquired about the issue closest to her heart, "Doctor, how could she suddenly faint ? And why isn’t she waking up at all?"
"From my observations, your daughter appears to have been poisoned with a type of poison that is unheard of before. I have a senior colleague who is a doctor in the Beautiful Country, and I asked her about this poison. She said it was a new type of poison researched in some underground laboratory in the Beautiful Country."
The doctor’s expression was very solemn. Seeing her reaction to his words, Shen Heyu’s body trembled, and she almost fell over, but thankfully, the doctor quickly steadied her.
"Is there an antidote for this poison? What exactly needs to be done to cure her completely? I’ll pay any price, I must save her," Shen Heyu clutched the doctor’s wrist, her heart clenched tightly as if in a vice, and she had trouble breathing.
After pondering for a moment, the doctor helped Shen Heyu to sit down on the sofa next to them.
He poured a cup of coffee for Shen Heyu, who after receiving the cup, placed it on the coffee table. Her gaze followed the doctor closely, who looked refined and distinguished.
"From what I know, there indeed is an antidote for this new type of poison, but the antidote is very unique."
"Please be more specific. Why is the antidote so special? No matter how expensive it is, I must find it," Shen Heyu anxiously implored the doctor. Her daughter’s life was at stake; even if it meant plucking the moon from the sky, she was determined to do it.
Seeing Shen Heyu’s worried expression, the doctor sighed slowly. "The uniqueness of the antidote lies in the fact that during its creation, a few of the same ingredients used in the poison must be incorporated. We have no idea which components of the poison these ingredients are, nor can we easily create the antidote even if we knew them."
"So, what are you implying? Are you saying there’s no hope for my daughter?" The news struck Shen Heyu like a bolt from the blue. Noticing her pallor, the doctor quickly clarified.
"That’s not what I’m saying. If there were enough time, of course, the antidote could be formulated, but your daughter is too young, and the dosage of poison too high. In less than a month, the toxins will wreak havoc on her body, and she will be in agony. We simply don’t have the time to develop an antidote."
Upon hearing this, Shen Heyu’s eyes moistened, tears threatening to spill over. The doctor took out his handkerchief and offered it to her.
Seeing she hadn’t accepted the handkerchief, he placed it within her reach with polite persistence, then he comforted Shen Heyu in a gentle voice.
"I know that speaking such words at this time may seem cruel, but these are facts you must face. Right now, the only thing you can do is find out who poisoned your daughter. Maybe they have the antidote."
"This poison isn’t circulating in the market; it’s a new poison researched by some underground lab in the Beautiful Country. Very few people are aware of this poison, so whoever poisoned your daughter must have obtained it through some means."
"And I guess the person who poisoned your daughter definitely has some ulterior motives. Don’t worry, with the high cost they’ve incurred, they definitely intend to gain some benefits either from you or from someone close to you."
The doctor’s words made sense, and his reminder made Shen Heyu think of someone.
No wonder he had so unusually sent Yuexue back to her, because he knew that he had an even more reliable way to control Shen Heyu.
At a time , Shen Heyu had no time for tears. She held her tears back and stood up to sincerely thank the doctor, "Thank you for the reminder, doctor."
"Gu Siyu." The doctor revealed a name.
Shen Heyu was startled for a moment. Seeing her bewildered look, the doctor smiled and raised his hand to point at the nameplate on his white coat, "My name."
"From now on, I am your daughter’s attending physician. Moreover, I am quite interested in this new type of poison. Rest assured, I will do everything in my power to manage your daughter’s condition. We will be in contact for a long time to come. If you don’t mind, we could exchange contact information, and you can reach out to me if you need anything."
Shen Heyu took out her phone, and they exchanged phone numbers.
"Doctor Gu, I’ll leave my daughter in your care then."
"I now know your daughter’s name, but I still don’t know yours. Could you tell me your name?" Gu Siyu smiled as he looked at Shen Heyu.
"Miss Shen, I know you have other urgent matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you any longer. I wish you the best of luck," Gu Siyu said with a smile, nodding to Shen Heyu.
Shen Heyu then turned and left his office. She went straight to the Chen Group, seeking to settle the score with Chen Wenzhou.
Chen Wenzhou seemed to have anticipated that Shen Heyu would come to confront him, so her approach was unobstructed. His secretary, upon seeing Shen Heyu, even thoughtfully guided her to Chen Wenzhou’s office and brought her a cup of coffee.
"No need, I’m not here to drink coffee today. President Chen, there’s something we need to talk about seriously."
Knowing that the bastard had poisoned Yuexue, Shen Heyu felt an urge to kick him off the top floor of this skyscraper, but she couldn’t afford to do such a thing now as she didn’t want to provoke him.
Chen Wenzhou, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, listened to Shen Heyu’s voice. Through the reflection on the clear glass, he carefully observed the expression on Shen Heyu’s face.
He chuckled, "Why would Miss Shen be here at this time? If I remember correctly, today should be the day you and Lu Yi are getting your divorce certificate, right?"
He continued to talk nonsense with Shen Heyu, but she was in no mood for idle chatter.
"Give me the antidote."
