Chapter 491: Counteract

“This is the notice of critical illness. As his family, please sign it.” The doctor took off his mask and handed the form in his hand to Qin Lan. “The patient is suffering from chronic poisoning and is already terminally ill. Family, please prepare for her funeral.”

“Poisoned?” Qin Lan was shocked. She took the notice with trembling hands and looked at the doctor in disbelief. “How is that possible? We arrange a checkup for him every month. If he’s suffering from slow poisoning, we should have known about it the last time he was checked!”

Jing Chen and Su Wan didn’t believe it either. Su Wan asked in confusion, “Doctor, could you have made a mistake?”

The doctor shook his head. “Old people are already weak in their old age. They need to pay more attention to their daily lives, especially in terms of diet. The results show that it’s because he has been consuming two types of food that counteract each other for a long time, but the details are still being tested.”

When Jiang Xin heard the doctor’s words, she clenched her fists unconsciously, and panic flashed in her eyes.

Kang Xu became sad when he heard this.

Qin Lan frowned. “Then how is my father now?”

When Jing Chen and Su Wan heard the question, they looked at the doctor with burning eyes, afraid that it would be a bad result.

“The patient is awake for the time being, but he might not last long,” the doctor said.

Hearing this, the three of them were instantly listless like deflated balloons.

Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat and tears filled her eyes. She resisted the urge to cry.

How could this be?

Jing Hai looked better after she came back. How could he be poisoned?

Jing Chen clenched his fists tightly by his sides and pursed his lips tightly without saying anything, as if he was enduring something.

He could not believe that his grandfather had been poisoned. Ever since his grandfather fell sick, every medicine or food that he had to eat had been screened beforehand.

Something must have gone wrong.

But at the thought that his grandfather’s life was about to end, his eyes gradually turned red.

“Director Zhang, the test results are out.” A nurse walked to the doctor with the report and handed it to him.

Director Zhang took the report and glanced at it before handing it to Qin Lan. He frowned and asked, “Does the patient usually consume tonics like cordyceps? Cordyceps are counteracting to dandelions.”

According to the report, in addition to the daily necessities of eating, Jing Hai’s body also contained two trace elements. Dandelion was one of the Chinese medicines that Jing Hai was prescribed.

Su Wan had just returned and did not know about this. She looked at Jing Chen and Qin Lan in confusion.

Jing Chen and Qin Lan looked at each other and frowned. They could see the answer in each other’s eyes.

Because a month ago, when Jiang Xin came to visit Jing Hai, she had brought a box of cordyceps.

Over the years when Jing Hai was sick, Jiang Xin had given him many supplements. There was no problem with Jing Hai eating them, but this was the first time she had given him cordyceps. They accepted it out of trust and would cook it for Jing Hai every day.

Unexpectedly, there was a problem with him eating it this time.

Jing Chen lowered his head and told Su Wan about this, then looked at Jiang Xin with Qin Lan.

After Su Wan heard Jing Chen’s words, her eyes widened in disbelief. She did not expect Jiang Xin to dare to lay her hands on Jing Hai! She immediately looked at Jiang Xin angrily.

Jiang Xin noticed three gazes on her. She looked up and saw Qin Lan, her son, and Su Wan staring at her. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked away.

Her heart beat quickly, and she was so nervous that she didn’t know where to look.

She had hidden it so well. How did she get discovered so quickly?

But she couldn’t be blamed for this. She could only blame this old man for being too weak. It had only been a month and he was about to die.

Who asked him not to help her marry Jing Chen?

With this in mind, Jiang Xin’s heart suddenly calmed down, and her eyes gradually became firm, no longer panicking.

Yes, she was not wrong. It was Jing Hai who was wrong.

Jiang Xin looked at the three of them standing at the door of the emergency room and asked blankly, “Auntie, Brother, Sister-in-law, why are you looking at me like that? Grandpa Jing…”

Before Jiang Xin could finish speaking, Su Wan went forward and slapped her. Before she could react, she slapped her again.
