Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

While it was still raining outside, Tao Jiuxi had some rare free time and was finally able to relax a little.

She planned to have a good rest to relieve the fatigue accumulated over the past few days.

However, just as she fell asleep, a sharp pain suddenly surged from her abdomen like a surging tide. The pain was like a tidal wave, spreading rapidly throughout her body. Her face instantly turned pale as paper, beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, and her body involuntarily curled up.

She endured the severe pain and struggled to get up: "Jiang Shun... come in for a moment."

At this time, Jiang Shun, who was guarding outside the door, pushed it open and walked in. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his expression was painful.

"Jiang Shun, do you have abdominal pain too?" Tao Jiuxi asked in a trembling voice, holding the edge of the bed weakly.

"I just feel a little uncomfortable. Is the girl feeling uncomfortable too?" Tao Jiuxi gritted his teeth and nodded.

Seeing this, Jiang Shun immediately cheered up and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, which contained detoxification pills.

"Girl, if we both feel unwell at the same time, it means we are poisoned." Jiang Shun's voice was hoarse due to pain, but his tone was very urgent.

Tao Jiuxi quickly reached out and took a detoxification pill and swallowed it, and Jiang Shun also took one.

"How much medicine is left?" Tao Jiuxi asked weakly, feeling his strength gradually draining away with the pain.

"There are only four or five left." Jiang Shun looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand with a frown.

"Go see if anyone else has been poisoned? Distribute the medicine to everyone and send for a doctor first. I'm dying. I'll just lie down first." Tao Jiuxi said, then she leaned over the edge of the bed. The pain in her abdomen felt like a knife was stabbing her, and she almost fainted.

Tao Jiuxi continued to explain with concern: "Send a signal to Ayi, I'm worried that someone will take advantage of our poisoning to attack us. You don't have to guard me, I'll just hide for a while..."

Although he took the antidote pill, the poison seemed to be extremely toxic and the abdominal pain symptoms did not ease at all.

Tao Jiuxi felt her vision go black, and she nearly fainted from the pain several times. As her consciousness gradually faded, she relied on the last bit of clarity and used all her strength to hide herself.

After seeing the signal flare, Shen Zhiyi rushed over anxiously.

When he rushed to the inn, many people in the inn had already suffered from abdominal pain. At this moment, Jiang Shun was still staying where he was, and the doctor had not arrived yet.

Ji Qingyi immediately asked Jiang Shun to help him back to his room, while Shen Zhiyi quickly pushed the door open and entered Tao Jiuxi's room.

The room was empty.

"Ah Xi?"

He looked around and found that the window was locked from the inside, and Jiang Shun was guarding outside the door. Tao Jiuxi must still be in the house.

Shen Zhiyi searched everywhere anxiously and finally found Tao Jiuxi, who had fainted from the pain, under the bed. The space under the bed was extremely narrow. If Tao Jiuxi was not petite, she would not be able to hide there at all.

Shen Zhiyi carried Tao Jiuxi out from under the bed with heartache, his eyes full of worry, wondering why Tao Jiuxi was hiding under the bed.

Obviously, Tao Jiuxi's symptoms are much more serious than Jiang Shun's.

"Axi, can you hear me? Axi? I'm back." Shen Zhiyi's voice was trembling and full of anxiety, but the person in his arms did not respond at all, as if he had fallen into an endless sleep.

Shen Zhiyi's heart suddenly became flustered. He called out softly, and there was a plea in his voice, as if he was pleading with God, begging Tao Jiuxi to open his eyes and break the suffocating silence.

At this moment, Tao Jiuxi's consciousness seemed to be pulled back to the nightmarish hospital in his previous life.

She lay on the ice-cold hospital bed, and the air around her seemed to be condensed with the breath of death.

Instrument tubes of varying thickness were inserted into her body, each one seeming to suck her life force away. The heartbeat recorder nearby emitted a monotonous, cold sound, repeating over and over again, like a relentless countdown, each beat pounding at her fragile heart.

She curled up in a ball on the narrow hospital bed, her body twitching slightly with pain. Loneliness, fear and despair surrounded her like a thick black fog.

In this dark abyss, she seemed to vaguely hear someone calling her. The voice was very distant, weak but persistent.

After an unknown amount of time, in this seemingly chaotic world, Tao Jiuxi vaguely felt Shen Zhiyi's breath.

She used up every bit of her strength before slowly, slowly opening her eyes. The blurry figure of Shen Zhiyi came into view. Tao Jiuxi felt cold all over and in pain: "Ayi, it hurts..."

Tao Jiuxi's voice was weak and hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat with difficulty.

"I might... die again..."

The pain at this moment was exactly the same as the agony she remembered experiencing when she was struggling to survive a terminal illness in her previous life. Every inch of her skin and every bone felt like it was being burned by fire.

"You're awake! You're awake. It's okay, it'll be okay." Shen Zhiyi saw Tao Jiuxi wake up, his eyes were sore, and he excitedly held Tao Jiuxi's hand.

After Ji Qingyi entered the room, he saw Tao Jiuxi, whose face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were filled with pity. He even dared not look directly at her pained expression, as if his heart would be crushed by the pain if he lingered on her for another second. He immediately turned around and hurried out to find a doctor.

"Jiang Qu has gone to the boat to get the detoxification pills prepared by Miss Xue. You just hold on for a while." Shen Zhiyi suppressed his inner panic and gently stroked Tao Jiuxi's back, trying to give her some comfort.

As soon as his hand touched Tao Jiuxi, he found that her whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and the wet clothes were tightly stuck to her back.

Tao Jiuxi's eyes began to blur. The intense pain made it difficult for her to distinguish between reality and dreams. In her eyes, she seemed to be lying on that cold hospital bed, surrounded by a dead white silence.

"Ayi, I'm so scared. In my previous life... I also died of this kind of pain..."

Shen Zhiyi heard the words "again" and "previous life" in Tao Jiuxi's words, but he had no time to think about it at this time.

"You won't die." Shen Zhiyi hugged Tao Jiuxi tightly, but his hands were shaking uncontrollably. Although his voice was firm, there was an unspeakable fear in his heart.

"I... am in pain, Ayi. In my last life, I was lying in the hospital alone, always in pain. The pain made me vomit every day... every day. Later... Later, the money was all gone, and I couldn't continue with the treatment... So I..." Tao Jiuxi's eyes were filled with deep despair. Memories came flooding back like a tide, making her already fragile nerves almost collapse.

"I'll go back... and wait to die... There was no one around me at that time, and I was so scared. Now... now... I'm going to die again..." Tao Jiuxi's voice became lower and lower, and every word sounded like the last sigh of his life.

"You won't die this time. You will be fine."

Shen Zhiyi gently stroked Tao Jiuxi's sweat-soaked hair. His eyes always stayed on Tao Jiuxi's face. Watching her face grow paler and paler, like a flower rapidly withering in the cold wind, fear tightly wrapped around his heart like an icy poisonous snake.

"Ayi, God gave me another chance to live, even though it was only for a short year, but... I met you and my sister. This journey was not in vain..."

Tao Jiuxi endured the pain that felt like a thousand arrows piercing her heart. She knew that she didn't have much time left, and every word she spoke was like a fight with death. But she still wanted to seize this last chance, say a few more words to Shen Zhiyi, and pour out everything hidden in her heart.

"Ayi, we... where we live, people say 'I love you'. It's been so long, and I've never said it to you."

"Don't talk now. There's plenty of time later. You're in pain now. Don't talk anymore. Jiang Qu will be here soon."

"Where's the doctor?! Why hasn't the doctor come yet!" Shen Zhiyi shouted loudly outside.

The guards outside replied in fear: "We've sent someone to invite them."

"Go again! Look again, find them all!"

After saying that, he looked at Tao Jiuxi again: "Let's talk about it slowly later. Don't say it today, don't say it today." Shen Zhiyi's voice trembled a little. He didn't dare to think about the terrible result. He was afraid that Tao Jiuxi would say everything he wanted to say and tell his secrets, and then leave him, forever.

Tao Jiuxi only felt that her strength was being drained from her body bit by bit, as if an invisible black hole was devouring her life.

Everything around became blurry, and Shen Zhiyi's figure in sight gradually became hazy.

She took her last breath and used all her strength to say: "Shen Zhi...Yi, I love you."

As soon as the words fell, Tao Jiuxi fainted again, and his body fell limply into Shen Zhiyi's arms. Shen Zhiyi felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and every beat was accompanied by a tearing pain.

At this moment, the doctor arrived late.

"Doctor, please take a look at her!"

The old doctor looked at the man in front of him and saw that his eyes were red and bloodshot like spider webs. It was a look of fear, despair and anger. The doctor couldn't help but feel scared. He hurriedly put down the medicine box and reached out to take Tao Jiuxi's pulse, his hands trembling slightly.

When his fingers touched Tao Jiuxi's slender wrist, the doctor's brows frowned instantly.

The pulse is loose and rootless, disappearing at the slightest pressure. It feels like touching a breeze that could vanish at any moment, or like a candle flickering in the wind. This pulse pattern indicates the dispersion of vital energy and the decline of the qi of the internal organs, which is an extremely ominous sign.

"I'm afraid the girl is..."

The doctor looked embarrassed and spoke in a somewhat dry voice, but was rudely interrupted by Shen Zhiyi before he could finish his words.

"Continue the diagnosis!"
