Chapter 964: Chapter 962: Frail Heiress 7

None of the people from Ah Chen’s dorm came for breakfast; there weren’t any particularly early classes today, so everyone wanted to sleep in. Ah Chen decided to bring some breakfast back for them once she was done.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Lian Yang’s "cold" hadn’t improved, nor had any other issues arisen. No one thought anything was amiss, since it was common for a flu to last ten days or even two weeks without improvement.

Lian Yang himself didn’t feel well but was unable to do anything about it.

While others had symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and coughing, he only felt a little dizzy, so it seemed he was relatively lucky.

Recently, the flu had become quite prevalent in school, and teachers were constantly emphasizing the need to be aware of it.

No one doubted that Lian Yang was suffering from the flu.

He prepared himself for the possibility that this cold might drag on for ten days or even two weeks.

Ten days flew by, and when he woke up that morning, his head was still dizzy. Worse yet, he felt weak and unable to muster any energy. Although not severely dire, this was a feeling one could only truly understand through personal experience.

Could the cold have worsened?

"The flu’s been quite strong lately; lots of people have fallen ill. Second brother, why hasn’t your cold improved? It’s been almost two weeks, hasn’t it?" With early classes, Wu Jie had gotten up early and commented on Lian Yang’s poor complexion.

Lian Yang frowned, feeling somewhat weak himself, and hesitated before saying, "I think it might have worsened slightly."

"Why don’t you visit the medical office later?" Meng Xuan suggested.

Lian Yang nodded, never having experienced such a sense of weakness in his life, and it made him uncomfortable.

Walking felt like his head was heavy while his feet were light; he was short of breath, even considering jogging was out of the question, let alone playing basketball.

"Medicine from the medical office isn’t really helping; maybe spare some time to visit the hospital." Ah Chen proposed. "Your cold seems a bit odd; no runny nose, no coughing, no fever, just dizziness and weakness. It doesn’t look serious, but the symptoms have indeed worsened."

"The weekend will come soon; if it hasn’t improved, let’s go to the hospital for a checkup," Lian Yang said. He found the state of his body unsettling, which made him irritable and out of breath even climbing stairs, which was particularly uncomfortable.

The weekend approached, and Lian Yang’s condition hadn’t eased. The weakness was feeling especially unpleasant, prompting his decision to go to the hospital for blood tests to find out what was happening.

Of course, Ah Chen accompanied him.

In the end, the results revealed nothing amiss; no problems meant the biggest problem. He truly believed he had the flu and had been taking cold medication recently.

But now, after the blood tests at the hospital, they said he had nothing wrong, not even a cold. Wasn’t that terrifying?

Clearly, he’s been feeling muddled, dizzy, and especially weak recently.

When he received the results, he stared blankly for quite some time.

Then he described his situation to Doctor Xiang, who noticed his poor complexion and suggested some additional tests.

Lian Yang did not refuse, as a fear brewed within him for no apparent reason, and he emerged with an uncertain expression on his pale face, clutching the examination slip tightly.

Upon seeing Ah Chen waiting outside, he studied her for a few moments before quickly reverting to his usual gentle smile.

"The doctor said more tests are necessary, as it’s currently difficult to determine what’s going on."

Lian Yang held onto the examination slip tightly, not understanding the fear rising within him.

Could he really be suffering from a strange illness?

First, he had to undergo some tests.

Even if he indeed had an illness that couldn’t be cured by hospitals, his mom would find a way.

Of course, it would be ideal not to have any illness.

If he were the one assessed, for a split second, he couldn’t help but suspect whether someone had tampered with him. He glanced at Xia Chen, quickly snapping back to reality. Even if someone wanted to harm him, it wouldn’t be Xia Chen. She hasn’t even resolved the issues with her own condition; there’s no way she caused all this or tampered with anything.

Lian Yang underwent numerous tests, but results weren’t available immediately, and he had no choice but to return to school awaiting news.

He hoped the symptoms would dissipate before the test results came out.

Unfortunately, he didn’t manage to achieve that wish.

The positive news was that the symptoms had not worsened.

A few days later, all the test results were available.

No abnormalities were found!

Aside from the brain, every other area was thoroughly examined. He recalled his initial dizziness and, before the doctor mentioned it, Lian Yang spoke first, "Could the issue lie within the brain?"

The doctor naturally recommended starting with exams, as other issues wouldn’t be visible just by looking.

Lian Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the panic and unease inside him, and went for the exam.

Ah Chen stayed with him, observing Lian Yang’s series of reactions and occasionally offering comfort.

Currently, they were in line.

"If results are still inconclusive here, then let’s go to Jing City; medical facilities are better there," Ah Chen advised, "There’s no need to worry."

In half a month, they should be able to transport Lian Yang to Jing City.

Lian Yang was quite frustrated now, unwilling to speak, but thinking of his purpose, he could only reluctantly respond.

Seeing his lack of enthusiasm, Ah Chen didn’t talk much either, as she wasn’t particularly interested in conversing with Lian Yang.

Several hours later, the test results were out, still showing no abnormalities.

The doctor shook his head, asked about Lian Yang’s situation, confirming that all examinations were done, and suggested visiting a better hospital for possibly more advanced medical equipment that might identify the problem.

A person experiencing dizziness, weakness, feeling fatigued, certainly indicated some issue.

"You could try visiting a traditional medicine doctor; who knows, maybe they’ll pinpoint the issue?" Wu Jie suggested, having accompanied him with Meng Xuan due to their concern about Lian Yang’s condition.

Lian Yang considered it; since he’d already come to the hospital, he could try seeing a traditional medicine doctor.

Of course, there was no medical remedy for Lian Yang’s condition. Not just traditional medicine but even someone like Yun Xiuzhi, who practiced Gu, couldn’t immediately identify the problem.

Especially now, the child Gu had already upgraded, with Ah Chen’s direct intervention.

After examining Lian Yang, the traditional medicine doctor frowned, puzzled as to why such a robust young man had such weak constitution, as if he had been ill for a long time.

No other issues surfaced.

Lian Yang’s complexion turned paler; how could this be?

What kind of strange ailment had he contracted?

Soon, he again considered the possibility of Gu worms, wondering if he had been afflicted by Gu. His mother wasn’t the only one playing with Gu in this world; several people did. Yet, this group had its rules; they typically remained hidden and didn’t casually use Gu on people.

According to his mom, she’d long been out of touch with the clan; indeed, they might not even know she’s still alive.

Anyway, Lian Yang decided to inform Yun Xiuzhi about his condition.

"Why not go to Jing City for a check-up?" Ah Chen’s words pulled Lian Yang’s thoughts back.

Lian Yang pursed his lips, "Let’s first inform my mom about the situation."

"That’s right, such a significant matter should indeed be reported to the family." Meng Xuan replied, "I know the ins and outs of Jing City; whenever you decide to go, let me know, and I’ll help arrange everything."

Even he hadn’t expected Lian Yang would contract a bizarre ailment.
