The doctor asked her what she had eaten the night before. Bai Lanwu, who had already rushed back, said: âWe had a hotpot meal last night, although she didnât eat much. She didnât look like she had much appetite during the meal. How did she end up with acute gastroenteritis? I thought she was just having a common fever when she mentioned about a headache. This has now delayed the diagnosis of her illnessâ¦â
Deep down, Bai Lanwu was full of self-blame.
After reviewing the medical report, the doctor said: âIt might have been caused by the hotpot meal. Iâll prescribe some IV fluids for her. Let her rest as much as possible. I am in Building 8, if anything comes up, call me directly.â
Bai Lanwu nodded: âThank you, Doctor.â
âYouâre welcome.â

It was not until the doctor was at the door of the villa that he asked Xia Ye Zhao, âBrother Xia, this girlâs health indicators, how come theyâre the same as your sister? They donât coincide with those of normal people. And she isnât Ye Jun Qingâs official wife. Why are you so worried? It was leaked online once that you two supposedly had an affair. Itâs not true, is it?â
This doctor, named Xu Ya, was a friend of Xia Ye Zhaoâs.
Xia Ye Zhao had never intended to hide his sisterâs existence, so he said: âStop talking nonsense, she is my sister as well, a long-lost one. Your father once treated her illness.â
Xia Yanyanâs bone marrow transplant was performed by Xu Yaâs father, so Xu Ya also knew about the ugly mermaid of the Xia family, who had never been made public by the Xia family due to her ugly tail. This could be considered a secret history of the rich and influential Xia family.
Xu Ya figured it out in an instant: âSo, sheâs the oneâ¦â
Recalling his sisterâs self-esteem issues due to her unattractive tail, Xia Ye Zhao interrupted Xu Ya: âI asked you to treat her to avoid unnecessary trouble. Please donât tell anyone about her physical discrepancies with normal people for now. Just do your doctorâs job properly and treat her well.â
Xu Ya, holding his mouth for a while, then returned to normal. With both hands in his white coat pockets, he said: âRest assured, we, the Xus, always know how to keep our mouths shut. We never blab about the secrets of many prominent families. But how ugly is your sisterâs tail that your parents disliked her so much in the first place? I never thought the rumored mermaid girl was actually a fish!â
Xia Ye Zhao was annoyed, staring fiercely at Xu Ya: âSwallow back the âuglyâ word you just said about her, or youâll pay for it!â
His sister Xia Ye Zhao, even if her tail wasnât beautiful, couldnât tolerate other peopleâs derogatory comments!

Besides, although the little sisterâs tail isnât beautiful, she is a beauty. Her face after she washed was divine enough to overthrow cities and nations the last time they went to an island together!
Xu Ya smacked his own mouth a couple of times, waving his hand, and left, thinking to himself, she is quite a looker, could it be just the tail thatâs ugly?
After Xu Ya left, Xia Ye Zhao returned to the villa.
Bai Lanwu checked the time; with all the fuss, it was already half-past nine in the evening.
Bai Lanwu said: âXia Ye, you can go back, I can take care of Xingguang here.â
Xia Ye Zhao replied: âItâs okay, Iâll stay here with her. These two IV bags will probably last until eleven or twelve at night. Iâll wait until sheâs finished with them before I leave. You go sleep early. Iâm here, so you donât have to worry about her.â
Seeing that Bai Lanwu wanted to refuse, Xia Ye Zhao added: âPlease give me a chance to take care of her. Iâve beenâ¦feeling guilty all these years. And donât say sheâs not my sister, Auntie. I wonât take away the daughter youâve raised with much hardship.â
