CHAPTER 1170: CHAPTER 1169: SYMPTOMS OF POISONING

Normally, Xiaomei knows that Xia Jing takes great care of herself, especially since she’s over thirty and wealthy—what else would she spend her money on if not on self-care?

This type of Dead Sea mud mask is all imported and quite expensive domestically, truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Now Xiaomei sees Xia Jing’s face dark as though she had applied that layer of Dead Sea mud mask.

"I, I didn’t put on a mask, my whole body is in pain, hurry up and call an ambulance."

Xia Jing said painfully.

At this moment, Xiaomei realized that Xia Jing truly hadn’t applied a facial mask. She was dazed and hadn’t noticed, and now she saw Xia Jing’s face, which truly frightened her.

"Xia Jing, don’t scare me. I’ll immediately call an ambulance for you."

Xiaomei quickly dialed the emergency center, clarified the address, the community name, and floor number, then hurriedly got up.

Upon seeing Xia Jing’s condition now, she felt something had happened to her.

She didn’t know how Xia Jing had turned out like that overnight.

As for contacting Xia Jing’s parents or friends, she was uncertain, at most she could call her secretary Xiaofen.

Approximately twenty minutes later, knocking sounded from the door. Xiaomei quickly went over to open it, saw medical staff at the door, and said, "My friend is inside."

Two female nurses came in, saw Xia Jing on the bed, and promptly transferred her onto a wheelchair, then took the elevator down, and lifted her onto an ambulance.

Xiaomei certainly had to accompany her.

When Xia Jing was admitted to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment, the emergency doctor found this female patient feeling extreme pain all over and had a dark complexion, but couldn’t ascertain what illness she had.

Judging by the color of her skin, it looked like symptoms of poisoning.

But what exactly had poisoned her, and why had it happened?

This baffled even the emergency doctor and others present. After conducting comprehensive examinations, they found the situation worsening. The doctors realized they couldn’t treat her here and decided to transfer her to the Affiliated Hospital and Jinling People’s Hospital, the most highly ranked hospitals in Jinling for medical skills.

"Immediately transfer the patient to Jinling Affiliated Hospital for treatment; we cannot treat her here, and the patient’s condition can’t be delayed."

The emergency doctor said.

Xiaomei didn’t comprehend the situation, but now understood the doctors couldn’t pinpoint Xia Jing’s illness, leaving no choice but to transfer hospitals.

Secretary Xiaofen had just arrived, equally surprised by President Xia’s condition.

Under these circumstances, as Xia Jing’s friend, Xiaomei could only sign because Xia Jing’s family was unavailable.

And Xiaomei explained, Xia Jing was alone without a boyfriend or husband.

As Xia Jing was urgently transferred to the Affiliated Hospital, Secretary Xiaofen said, "I’ve been staying with President Xia these past few days, and I consumed the same food and drinks as her. Why is President Xia showing signs of poisoning while I’m perfectly fine?"

"Me too."

Xiaomei also found it odd.

As the ambulance rushed with the unconscious Xia Jing to the Affiliated Hospital, Xiaomei and Xiaofen were incredibly nervous, but powerless.

Upon arrival at Jinling Affiliated Hospital, the emergency doctors had received a call from the previous hospital and prepared the emergency room in advance.

When Xia Jing was brought in, the emergency personnel and doctors hurriedly took her to the emergency room.

After Xia Jing was admitted, Xiaomei and Xiaofen waited outside the emergency room; when the doctor asked for payment, Xiaofen went to pay for Xia Jing.

About half an hour later, the emergency doctor came out and asked, "Who are the patient’s relatives?"

"Doctor, I’m a friend of the patient."

"I’m the patient’s secretary."

"Aren’t the patient’s relatives here?"

"No, my friend’s identity is somewhat special, her parents are out of town, besides me, she doesn’t have many close friends."

Xiaomei said.

"Her condition is very serious; we’ve just examined and treated her, and can only temporarily confirm that she has been poisoned, but the exact poison is unknown, hence hospitalization is required for observation. However, her situation is critical, and she must be admitted to the critical care unit, which may pose a life threat."

"What? How could it be?"

Xiaomei and Xiaofen couldn’t believe it.

Not long ago everything was fine; how did Xia Jing end up like this?

Moreover, some time ago, Xia Jing had breast cancer, and Ye Qiu had just cured it. Neither could believe Xia Jing now faced a potential threat to life.

As the two almost burst into tears, the emergency doctor said, "Can you tell me what Miss Xia recently ate that might have led to these poisoning symptoms?"

Xiaomei and Xiaofen went in and detailed what Xia Jing had eaten lately.

But the emergency doctor found it odd since Xia Jing had only eaten normal food, perhaps drinking some alcohol, nothing noteworthy.

Since Xiaomei and Xiaofen were also consuming the same items, they were absolutely fine.

However, the hospital had begun analyzing Xia Jing’s blood and other tests, but the test results would need some time to be complete.

For now, Xia Jing would remain under observation while receiving simple treatment.

Given the patient’s condition, the doctor anticipated potential life-threatening situations during the treatment, thus requiring the family’s presence to sign risk agreements.

But given that the patient’s family was out of town, by the time they arrived, Xia Jing might be in further peril.

"You should notify the patient’s family promptly. If something does happen, our hospital can handle it better when her family arrives."

The emergency doctor stated, and then went to attend to his tasks.

Xiaomei and Xiaofen exited the office, their expressions even grimmer.

Regardless of the circumstances, Xia Jing couldn’t encounter danger, or who knows what would happen?

"Secretary Xiaofen, what should we do?"

"You should help contact President Xia’s family; her phone likely contains her family’s contact numbers, while I need to assist in managing President Xia’s company affairs."

Both were extremely worried, now that Xia Jing was alone with numerous company responsibilities. If something truly happened to Xia Jing, they daren’t imagine the consequences.

Now that Xia Jing was admitted to the critical care unit, only medical personnel could enter, no one else.

Thus, through the window, both women glanced inside; given the situation, Xiaofen had to temporarily manage the company affairs for President Xia, while Xiaomei quickly notified Xia Jing’s family.

After all, Xia Jing’s condition had reached a critical juncture.
