As she descended the stairs, she was constantly struggling and pounding, until at last she truly had no strength left and finally stopped.
After that, I hailed a cab and took her to the hospital.
After a brief examination, it was confirmed that it was just an ordinary cold and fever, so they prescribed some medicine. After taking it, she fell asleep.
The next morning, when she woke up, her condition had clearly improved quite a bit, but her expression when facing me was still inconsolably severe.
Because she was feeling unwell, I didn't call for her; instead, I went off to tend to the beauty salon's affairs on my own.
That afternoon, while I was busy, I received a call from Wang Nian.
On the phone, her voice was very weak, as if she had a fever again.
Without giving it much thought, I quickly took a cab back home.
"This isn't an ordinary fever, you've been poisoned," I said.
After a quick check of her pulse, I quickly determined what her problem was.
