In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband

Xie Yanchuan sprinted all the way home, and with fewer vehicles on the road at this hour, he managed to arrive in about ten minutes.

As soon as Xie Yanchuan entered the bedroom, he saw Xu Jinzhi curled up on the bed, appearing as though she was about to pass out from pain. He quickly approached to assess her condition.

Confirming that Xu Jinzhi was in severe pain, sweating profusely, and pale but still conscious, he hurriedly picked her up and they left.

On the way to the hospital, Xie Yanchuan drove while Xu Jinzhi sat in the passenger seat, curling up in discomfort and occasionally moaning uncontrollably.

"Jinzhi, hang on, we’ll be there soon," Xie Yanchuan said anxiously, though he strived to remain calm.

Xu Jinzhi responded weakly, then fell silent.

Fortunately, the hospital was close by, and within minutes, Xie Yanchuan had brought Xu Jinzhi to the nearest emergency room.

As it was already evening, regardless of the discomfort, they had to visit the emergency department. Even at night, it was crowded.

At that moment, Xu Jinzhi had no strength left and was quietly leaning in Xie Yanchuan’s arms.

Xie Yanchuan frowned, sweating profusely in the late November weather.

Unable to bear seeing Xu Jinzhi in such pain and waiting in line, he called a former classmate to help expedite the process.

Fortunately, the classmate agreed immediately, and soon a doctor located them, leading Xie Yanchuan and Xu Jinzhi away from the emergency area.

As they walked, the doctor began asking about the situation. Xu Jinzhi had no strength to speak, so Xie Yanchuan spoke up first, suggesting, "It might be gastroenteritis."

Consequently, the doctor ordered a blood test for Xu Jinzhi.

While waiting for the results, Xu Jinzhi continued to suffer and even started to develop a fever.

Xie Yanchuan frowned deeply, wishing he could take on her pain without hesitation.

The results came quickly, confirming severe gastroenteritis. Xu Jinzhi needed an IV, so the doctor arranged a private room for her.

Throughout the process, Xu Jinzhi was in such pain that she hardly knew what was happening. It was only after the IV had been administered for a while and the pain had eased somewhat that she began to regain some vitality.

Xie Yanchuan remained worriedly by her side. Seeing her stir slightly, he hurriedly asked, "Jinzhi, are you feeling any better?"

Xu Jinzhi nodded faintly, her face pale and lips cracked.

Xie Yanchuan brought her a cup of warm water to sip.

After drinking, Xu Jinzhi still appeared exhausted, her hair messy, especially from the earlier sweating, making it look disheveled.

Xie Yanchuan said with heartfelt concern, "If you’re feeling uncomfortable, try to sleep. I’ll stay here with you, don’t be afraid."

Xu Jinzhi obediently nodded and soon fell asleep.

However, Xie Yanchuan stayed by her side the entire time, until her IV finished and her complexion no longer looked so pale. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

When Xu Jinzhi awoke again, she was momentarily disoriented before realizing she was in the hospital and recalling everything about the previous night.

She sighed softly and started looking for Xie Yanchuan’s figure in the hospital room, but it was quiet, with no one but herself.

Xu Jinzhi then sat up from the bed. Although she still looked a bit weak, her lower abdomen was no longer in pain, so sitting up was not difficult.

Just as Xu Jinzhi was preparing to get out of bed, the door to the room opened, and Xie Yanchuan came in, carrying a thermos.

Seeing Xu Jinzhi awake, Xie Yanchuan hurried in, "Awake?"

"Mhm," Xu Jinzhi nodded weakly.

"Does it still hurt?" Xie Yanchuan sat down beside the bed, reached out to support Xu Jinzhi’s shoulder, and then touched her forehead.

"It doesn’t hurt anymore," Xu Jinzhi shook her head.

"That’s good," Xie Yanchuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a short silence of two seconds, Xie Yanchuan said, "I prepared some porridge. Have some porridge."

Xu Jinzhi didn’t feel hungry at the moment and didn’t have much of an appetite, but looking at Xie Yanchuan, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse and ended up nodding.

So Xu Jinzhi got out of bed to wash up briefly, and then came back to have breakfast.

However, Xu Jinzhi didn’t have much of an appetite and didn’t eat much.

Xie Yanchuan didn’t force Xu Jinzhi; it was normal for her to have no appetite due to gastroenteritis.

After breakfast, the doctor came for a check-up and told Xu Jinzhi that she needed to be on IV for another day before she could leave.

Xu Jinzhi, actually feeling no pain at that point, thought of the pain she endured the previous night and obediently nodded.

By noon, Xu Jinzhi had finished the IV treatment, and Xie Yanchuan took her from the hospital to leave.

On the way home, Xu Jinzhi seemed to have fully recovered, regaining her vitality, and began complaining to Xie Yanchuan that she hadn’t eaten anything unclean yesterday, so how did she suddenly get gastroenteritis?

Xie Yanchuan just said that there were many possibilities that could cause gastroenteritis, and it was hard to say specifically.

Xu Jinzhi could only say it was her bad luck.

After getting home, Xie Yanchuan started preparing lunch.

Xu Jinzhi, who hadn’t had an appetite in the morning, finally felt hungry now, and for some reason, she craved some strongly-flavored dishes, although she normally ate very light foods.

Xu Jinzhi suggested two dishes, both of which were rejected by Xie Yanchuan; she needed to keep to a bland diet.

Not just for today but for the next two or three days, Xie Yanchuan cooked meals every day, all very bland foods.

After eating bland food for several days, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t taste anything in her mouth and even started to think Xie Yanchuan’s cooking was not tasty!

However, this illness brought Xu Jinzhi one good thing: she had completely lost weight!

After realizing she had lost weight, Xu Jinzhi excitedly said to Xie Yanchuan, "Getting sick wasn’t all bad, huh!"

Hearing this, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t help but frown and seriously scolded for the first time, "What nonsense are you talking?"

Xu Jinzhi also realized her statement hadn’t been well thought out and tried to appease Xie Yanchuan with a smile.
