Chapter 89

Chu Yan’s face turned pale with terror as she backed away.

“I’ll go find another doctor to help you,” she said, turning to run away.

She had heard that her mother was promiscuous and had contracted a venereal disease, which was contagious.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have dared to come close to her mother.

Chu Yan thought to herself that her mother was a useless, good-for-nothing person, with no redeeming qualities.

Ignoring Chu Lan’s pleas for help, Chu Yan quickly ran out of the room.

As soon as she was outside, she took a deep breath of fresh air.

After a while, she calmed down and thought clearly.

Since Lan Yu cared about Chu Lan so much, he wouldn’t ignore her.

So, Chu Yan took out her comms device and contacted Lan Yu.

When the call connected, Lan Yu was wearing a face mask, which startled Chu Yan.

“Yan Yan, how was your visit with your mother?” Lan Yu asked directly.

Chu Yan had told him earlier that she was going to visit her mother and asked him to cover for her with their family.

“I saw her, but…” Chu Yan made a difficult expression.

“What’s wrong?” Lan Yu immediately sat up, looking anxious, and removed his face mask.

“You should come see for yourself, Dad,” Chu Yan said, not knowing how to explain.

Lan Yu’s face flickered with hesitation.

His wife had warned him, but Chu Lan’s situation…

“Okay, I’ll come right away,” Lan Yu finally decided.

He hung up the call, quickly got ready, and left the house.

Fifteen minutes later, Lan Yu arrived at Chu Lan’s residence.

“What’s wrong with your mother?” Lan Yu asked anxiously as soon as he saw Chu Yan.

“She seems to have been poisoned,” Chu Yan said, glancing away for a moment.

The doctor had said earlier that Chu Lan had a venereal disease, but he hadn’t done a thorough examination, so his diagnosis might not be accurate.

Moreover, regardless of whether Chu Lan had a venereal disease or not, Chu Yan wanted to push the blame onto Chu Ning, making her father dislike Chu Ning even more.

“How can this be? What happened?” Lan Yu became even more anxious and rushed into the house.

Chu Yan followed him, explaining, “It’s because of Chu Ning. Mom went to confront her about bullying me, and when she came back, she was like this.”

Lan Yu’s expression turned furious.

When he saw Chu Lan, he was shocked by her condition.

Chu Lan’s body was covered in blood, with not a single patch of unbroken skin, and some areas had flesh exposed.

Lan Yu’s eyes widened in shock.

Just then, Chu Lan called out to him.

Lan Yu immediately forgot about everything else and rushed to help Chu Lan.

However, as soon as he touched her, Chu Lan began to rub against him, causing Lan Yu to become contaminated with her bodily fluids.

Chu Yan watched the scene, taking a step back.

This was bad; her father might get infected too.

Lan Yu noticed Chu Yan’s reaction and told her, “What are you doing just standing there? Yan Yan, come help me support your mother. We’ll take her to the hospital together!”

But Chu Yan didn’t dare to get close.

Instead, she took another step back.

“Mom is not in a condition to be moved. Dad, do we have a family doctor we can call?”

“Why don’t you call Grandma or Auntie to ask them to send our family doctor over?” Chu Yan suggested.

Lan Yu suddenly realized what to do.

“Yes, that’s right! I’ll contact our family doctor now!”

He immediately took out his comms device and contacted the family doctor.

The doctor answered and, after seeing Chu Lan’s condition, said that he would bring some medicine to examine her and determine the cause of her illness.

Lan Yu waited patiently to take care of Chu Lan, while Chu Yan paced anxiously outside, waiting for the doctor to arrive.

A few minutes later, Lan Yu began to feel an itching sensation on his skin, just like Chu Lan.

As the itching grew stronger, Lan Yu realized that he must have been infected by Chu Lan’s disease when he helped her scratch her skin.

“Yan Yan, come help support your mother. I need to go wash my hands,” Lan Yu told Chu Yan.

But Chu Yan didn’t dare to get close.

“Dad, please wait a bit longer. The doctor will be here soon! I’ll go to the door to greet him,” Chu Yan said, hurrying away.

She had seen her father’s skin start to itch, and he had already scratched himself several times.

He might be infected too.

This thought made Chu Yan’s scalp tingle with fear.

She hoped the doctor would arrive soon.

The family doctor was skilled, and perhaps he could diagnose Chu Lan’s illness.

As Chu Yan waited anxiously, the doctor finally arrived.

“Quickly, the patient is inside. Please hurry and take a look,” Chu Yan urged the doctor.

But the doctor stopped and said, “Wait a minute. From what I saw in the video call earlier, the patient’s skin looks abnormal. It’s possible that she has contracted a severe infectious disease.”

“To be safe, I need to wear protective gear first,” the doctor said, taking out a set of protective clothing from his bag.
