Chapter 1168 - 1168 Private Clinic
1168 Private Clinic
Tan Jing would often fall into bouts of madness and convulsions. She would also say things that they could not understand, and even spout nonsense and dance around. Sometimes, she would even hurt herself.
During this period of time, they had been injecting Tan Jing with sedatives. However, if they continued to increase the amount, Tan Jing’s body would not be able to take it. Yet, there was no other better solution.
“I want to see my family members! I want to see them! Why don’t you allow me to see them!” Tan Jing suddenly struggled and shouted loudly.
“Doctor! Doctor!” The nurse quickly called out to the doctor for help.
The doctor injected Tan Jing with a tranquilizer and four doctors and nurses held down on each of Tan Jing’s limbs. They only heaved a sigh of relief when Tan Jing gradually stopped moving.
“This can’t go on every day. If this continues, even a normal person will be tortured to death,” the nurse said as she looked at Tan Jing. In her heart, she pitied Tan Jing. It was too much for a woman to have to endure such pain.
“Speak less! Don’t you know her background! How many lives do you have to lose?” the doctor reprimanded her softly.
The nurse quickly closed her mouth and packed up the equipment before walking out quickly.
This was a private clinic. The doctors and nurses were very discreet and no one could get any information about any families out of them. Moreover, they had clinics in many locations in the capital. Each clinic only took care of one particular family and all the administration matters were handled by a mysterious person.
Until now, no one had been able to find out who the owner of the clinics was. People only knew that the owner was a highly skilled medical professional and nothing else. They did not even know if the owner was a man or a woman.
At night, the Xia family could finally have some peace! However, Xu Lan and the rest still felt targeted.
Xu Lan and Liu Fen were overwrought with having to cook for the entire family every day. Before Cheng Gu was caught, no person unrelated to the Xia family was allowed to enter the Xia family residence.
Feng Hua had to take care of Qiao Mei and Xia Jun’s helper had to wait upon the two elderly men. The two women were the only ones left to handle all the household matters at home. No one else had the time.
Xia Wen was currently feeling depressed and was absent-minded in everything he did. It was already a blessing if nothing happened to him!
Xia Zhe and Xia Mao had gone on a mission to capture Cheng Gu and would likely not be back for the next two days. They all heard from Xia Xiu that there was already some progress. Xia Mao wanted to capture Cheng Gu in one fell swoop and Xia Zhe wanted to personally take revenge for Qiao Mei.
As for Xia He… Xia He was still sulking in her room! She could not go to work now, nor could she go out or to visit Qiao Mei and the two children. At home, Xu Lan complained and criticized her every day. It was so intolerable!
“Why aren’t you coming down to eat! It’s already so late! Don’t you know how to come down and help me and your second aunt-in-law! You only know how to stay in your room!” Xu Lan shouted at the top of her lungs towards Xia He’s bedroom.
Xia He covered her ears impatiently. She was not allowed to talk about Xia Wen’s issues nor interfere with Xia Zhe’s matters. Then what else could she do at home? She might as well go and become a nun! It would be more peaceful and quiet!
“Are you coming out or not! The food will get cold soon!” Xu Lan shouted again.
Xia He walked out of the room unwillingly. There were only three of them eating together today. Xu Lan had placed Xia Wen’s portion outside his room. He had locked himself in his room and there was nothing they could do about it.
“Is Eldest Brother still unwilling to come out and walk around? How long is he going to lock himself up like this?” Xia He asked.
“Your eldest brother will probably need a week or two. He needs to figure it out for himself. There’s no other way,” Liu Fen said with heartache. Over the past few days, Xia Wen had lost weight. The dark circles under his eyes had become more serious and he looked much more haggard. He did not look like that young and energetic young man of the past.
“Then what about Qiao Mei? When can I go and see her?” Xia He asked again.
“You have to wait until Xia Zhe captures the culprit. If they can’t catch the culprit, Qiao Mei and the children won’t be able to come out for the rest of their lives. Otherwise, their lives will be in danger,” Xu Lan said jokingly.
During this period of time, Deng Fan would call Xia He from time to time. At first, Xu Lan would still pick up the phone to ask who it was, but later on, she made Xia He responsible for picking up phone calls. She did not want to listen to young people whispering sweet nothings to each other every day. It was way too annoying.
