They had clearly heard Dr. Lo instruct the eldest son to ask if these people had any asthma medicine on them. But now, without even inquiring, he was having them sent away. Wasn’t that a bit hasty?
Upon hearing Xiang Jiechao’s reprimand, Dr. Lo frowned slightly. As he continued administering first aid to the elderly man, he gave an order to his disciple: “Xiao Xu, go ask if they have any asthma medicine.”
The elderly man’s condition was extremely critical; without appropriate medication, he might even lose his life.
If the old man’s life were to end here, none of the people present would be able to walk away unscathed.
Xu Xu rushed to his feet and hurried over to Ye Xingbei and the two children. “Excuse me”, he asked anxiously, “do you have any asthma medication on you?”
Before Ye Xingbei could respond, Xiao Shumiao nodded, speaking up first: “Of course! Whenever I go out, my mom always makes sure that I carry medicine with me! My mom is the best!”
The child tilted his head up, glaring at Ye Xingbei with glee, full of pride in his eyes.
His mom was the absolute best! In the past whenever he had an attack, no matter where it occurred, she was always quick to produce the necessary medicine just like Doraemon.
This old man’s family was so silly, with so many people, not a single one of them had an asthma inhaler!
Overjoyed, Xu Xu pleaded with Ye Xingbei. “I’m sorry to impose, but the patient’s situation is dire, could we borrow your inhaler for a bit?”
Ye Xingbei only hesitated for a moment before removing a backup inhaler from her pocket and handing it over to Xu Xu.
Although Xiao Shumiao hadn’t had an attack for quite some time, Ye Xingbei always made sure to carry an asthma inhaler. When going out for an outing, preparation was a priority, she kept the inhaler safely tucked into her pocket.
She handed over the inhaler to Xu Xu, who received it with a word of gratitude. He rushed back over to Dr. Lo to hand him the inhaler.
Dr. Lo quickly examined the inhaler, confirmed it was the correct medication, and promptly administered it to the elderly man through his nostrils.
The consequences of not promptly administering treatment to an asthmatic patient could be fatal.
However, with appropriate treatment, symptoms can usually be quickly mitigated.
Within five minutes of administering the medication, the old man’s labored breathing began to slow down, becoming more and more regular. His pale face also gradually recovered some color.
Relief washed over Dr. Lo’s face, as he couldn’t help but complement, “What a fantastic drug!”
Xiang Jiechao, seeing his father’s skin regaining a healthy color despite his eyes still being closed, was really concerned, fearing his father would wake up and see Lingyue.
He obstructed Ye Xingbei’s view of his father, and coldly told her with a straight face: “This is not a place for you. You can leave now!”
Ye Xingbei was taken aback, thinking how this man looked decent enough but was really unreasonable.
She had done them a huge favor and wasn’t expecting any reward. A thank you would have been nice, right?
Instead, this man in front of her didn’t even say thank you nor crack a smile, showing an air of superiority, as if he felt himself too important to engage in conversation with mere commoners.
You are high and mighty, you don’t deal with ordinary mortals, fine! But then you should not have used my medicine!
Ye Xingbei muttered a few complaints under her breath.
But these people were clearly no ordinary folk.
The few burly men seemed experienced, even carrying guns with them, their posture exuding a resolute and robust demeanor.
Protected by armed bodyguards, that elderly man must be no ordinary person. She should really not invite any troubles.
She nodded at Xiang Jiechao and extended her hand: “Give me back my inhaler and I will leave right away!”
