Chapter 234 - 234: Doctor
After Lu Zhen’s temperature rose slightly, she lay down and slept.
Seeing that Lu Zhen had fallen asleep, Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to close the door, she saw Lu Zhen’s cell phone light up.
Even without looking at the content of the message, Xiaoxiao could guess that it was a message from Song Jia. She woke up Lu Zhen’s phone screen and looked at the sender. It was indeed Song Jia.
Xiaoxiao left the room and sent Song Jia a message on her phone. “Sister
Zhenzhen is already asleep. President Song, what’s the matter?”
Song Jia quickly replied, “She’s asleep so early? I saw that the temperature in
Dan City was very low today, so I asked her if her work was going well.”
Seeing Song Jia’s words, Xiaoxiao immediately felt even more aggrieved. She was not aggrieved for herself, but for Lu Zhen.
“Her scenes went very smoothly, but the actor from the same production didn’t make the cut twice. She implicated Zhenzhen and she lay in the snow for nearly two hours. I was afraid that something would happen to her just now.” After a moment of silence, he asked, “How is she now?
“She doesn’t have a fever, and her temperature has returned to normal. She’s already asleep.”
After a few minutes, Song Jia sent a message. “I just contacted a doctor I know. Give me the hotel address. I’ll get him to go over and take a look at Lu Zhen tomorrow.”
Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and said in embarrassment, “Isn’t this too troublesome?
“It’s okay. You don’t have to worry about that.”
“Alright, thank you, President Song!” The gloominess in Xiaoxiao’s heart dissipated a lot. She increasingly felt that Song Jia’s concern for Lu Zhen was definitely beyond the normal limit between ordinary bosses and employees.
“By the way, don’t say that I found a doctor. She doesn’t seem to like me asking you too much about her,” Song Jia reminded her again.
“Then I’ll say that I found the doctor myself?”
The next morning, a man in his forties indeed arrived at the hotel where Lu Zhen was staying. Xiaoxiao did not expect him to arrive so early. After opening the door, she confirmed, “Is it Dr. Liang?
“Yes, is Miss Lu awake?” Doctor Liang asked politely.
“Not yet. She said that she was a little dizzy and had slept for more than ten hours. Could something have happened?” Xiaoxiao was a little uneasy.
At this moment, Xiaoxiao was especially glad that Song Jia had hired a doctor for Lu Zhen. If not for Doctor Liang, she really wouldn’t know what to do.
After Doctor Liang entered, he moved a stool to the bed and took Lu Zhen’s pulse. A minute later, he stuffed Lu Zhen’s wrist under the blanket.
“Doctor Liang, how is it?”
“I’ll give her acupuncture first to revitalize her qi, blood, and meridians and try my best to eliminate the symptoms of her current discomfort. When I go back, I’ll prescribe some medicine and get someone to send it over. She’ll be fine after a week or two of recuperation.”
Doctor Liang reminded him again, “Be careful in the future. Don’t be in such an extreme environment again.”
Xiaoxiao felt helpless and aggrieved. “There’s no choice. She’s an actress. This situation is unavoidable.”
Doctor Liang did not speak. He took out a special acupuncture tool from his bag and prepared to start acupuncture on Lu Zhen.
Xiaoxiao was afraid of disturbing Doctor Liang, so she returned to the living room and sat on the sofa to reply to Song Jia. “President Song, Doctor Liang is already here. After taking Zhenzhen’s pulse, he’s doing acupuncture on her.”
“That’s good.” Song Jia didn’t ask further. Doctor Liang would probably report to him himself later.
After Doctor Liang finished acupuncture Lu Zhen, he packed his things and left.
The next day, a few packets of brewed Chinese medicine were sent to the hotel by the courier. Xiaoxiao poured the medicine into a bowl and heated it in the microwave for a few minutes. When the medicine was not so hot, she handed it to Lu Zhen. “Sister Zhenzhen, drink the medicine.”
Lu Zhen looked at the bowl of black and sticky medicine and frowned. “It’s not that serious, right? Can I not drink it?”
Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry and glared at her. ‘You’re not afraid of the
cold, but you’re afraid of drinking medicine? No, you have to drink it.”
Lu Zhen sighed and looked like she was ready to die. She brought the medicine over, pinched her nose, and finished it in one go.
After drinking it, Lu Zhen lay on the bed and retched. “It’s so bitter!”
“Good medicine is bitter and good for the health.” Xiaoxiao put away the bowl of medicine.
After taking two sips of hot water to suppress the urge to vomit, Lu Zhen asked, “Song Jia called the doctor over yesterday, right?” Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened slightly.. “How did you know?”
