Chapter 490 - 490: A Twisted Heart – Part 2
However, he could tell that Old Master Lu intended to stand up for Nan Yan.
Nan Yan’s maternal grandfather seemed genuinely fond of her.
In light of this, Sun Chan warmed up to Old Master Lu and asked, “Do you want me to accompany you?”
Old Master Lu hesitated for a moment.
Bringing an outsider along might not be suitable for disciplining his daughter, but since Sun Chan had offered, he nodded and said, “If Elder Sun is willing to join me on this trip, then let’s go together.” So, Sun Chan followed Old Master Lu, and the two of them went to the An family’s residence.
At the An family’s residence.
Since drinking the glass of water given to her by An Muyao, Lu Lehua had been in a deep sleep in her bedroom. The An family’s servants were all on edge due to the recent events in the household.
Additionally, An Muyao had ordered them not to come near the main villa, so they were unaware of all the recent developments.
Old Master Lu searched for Lu Lehua for a while and began to think she wasn’t at home until the housekeeper informed him that Lu Lehua had returned and hadn’t left the house since then. “The young miss said she was emotionally distressed, didn’t want to see anyone, and has no appetite. She’s been locked in her room all this time.”
Old Master Lu and Sun Chan went upstairs together and knocked on the bedroom door. However, there was no response even after they knocked for a while.
“Are you sure she hasn’t left the An family?”
“No, I just asked the gatekeeper, and he only saw the madam return, not leave.”
“Go get the spare key.”
“Yes, Mr. Lu.”
The housekeeper hurried to fetch the spare key and returned with it.
Since it was the bedroom, the men couldn’t enter directly. They called for a female servant to check if Lu Lehua was inside.
The female servant entered the room, saw Lu Lehua lying on the bed, and softly called out, “Madam.” But there was no sign that Lu Lehua was going to wake up.
She then raised her voice, but there was still no response.
She hurriedly used her hand to push at Lu Lehua’s body but couldn’t wake her up. Then she called out, “Madam is here, but something’s not right. No matter how I call her, she won’t wake up!”
This statement made Old Master Lu, who was waiting outside, quite anxious. He didn’t care about the fact that this was his daughter’s bedroom, and she was sleeping. He strode inside.
Sun Chan considered for a moment and then followed suit.
“Lehua?”
“Lehua?”
Old Master Lu called out several times, and his expression suddenly changed. “Quick, call 911 for an ambulance!”
Despite his anger towards his daughter, she was his own flesh and blood. He couldn’t just ignore her.
“I’ll check on her.”
Sun Chan volunteered and walked to the bedside. He placed Lu Lehua’s hand flat on the mattress and placed his fingers on her wrist.
Old Master Lu asked nervously, “Elder Sun, how is my daughter?”
Sun Chan let go of her hand and had a somewhat unsurprised expression. “She’s been poisoned.”
“Poisoned?”
Old Master Lu was taken aback for a moment but quickly thought of An Muyao. Without a doubt, that heartless woman had poisoned Lu Lehua!
“Is the poison strong? Is she in danger? She’s unconscious now, what should we do?”
“It’s not a life-threatening poison, it just causes her to fall into a deep sleep, but if this continues, without eating or drinking, she’ll eventually starve to death. ”
“Provided she isn’t detoxified.’
Old Master Lu’s face turned pale, and he quickly said, “Elder Sun, please save my daughter!”
Sun Chan said, “Detoxifying isn’t difficult. I’ll wake her up first, and you should have the kitchen make her some porridge to replenish her strength. She hasn’t eaten for two days, and her stomach is weak.”
“All right. Housekeeper, go instruct the kitchen to make porridge.”
Sun Chan was Hua Shifang’s junior and also a highly skilled physician.
Since there were no silver needles available, he had a female servant find a few sewing needles, sterilized them with fire, and used them for acupuncture.
With the first needle insertion, Lu Lehua woke up, screaming in pain due to her weakness.
Then she opened her eyes in confusion and asked, “Where am I?”
