Chapter 22 Cheng Yaojin appears halfway

"Excuse me, parents, which one of you has Bartter syndrome?"

When these words were spoken, Feng Jin and two female colleagues opened their mouths wide: Is it possible to ask such a direct question?

But when they heard this question, Zhao Shuchan and his wife stared at each other for a full half minute.

In the end, Wang Shifeng couldn't stand the pressure and admitted with a sigh of relief: "It's me. I have hereditary Bartter syndrome."

"That's right, then."

Silence nodded slightly.

"I noticed that your daughter fainted easily just now, and drank and urinated frequently. Looking at her face, her nose was pale and dull, her philtrum was hollow and yellow, her cheeks were slightly red, and her development was consistent with the description of Bartter's syndrome in medical books."

"This disease is usually inherited from parents. If one of the parents is a carrier, there is a 20% chance that the child will be a patient."

"The main clinical manifestations are hypokalemia-type syncope, polydipsia and polyuria. If you don't pay attention, it will develop into nephritis."

Having said this, Shen Mo paused.

"If we delay this further, it may lead to late-stage renal failure."

When Zhao Shuchan heard the words “late-stage renal failure”, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted on the spot.

Her face was pale, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away. She held on to Shen Mo's arm tightly and managed to sit up.

"Young man, no, doctor, what should I do...save my daughter..."

In panic, she was already at a loss for words.

Suddenly, she grabbed a pillow beside her and threw it at Wang Shifeng, "I asked you to go for a premarital checkup, but you tricked me into not going. Liar, liar!"

The latter dodged subconsciously, looking extremely embarrassed.

When parents have a bad relationship, the children are the ones who suffer the most.

The girl Xiaoyu looked at this scene and closed her eyes in boredom.

With Feng Jin's help, Shen Mo wrapped an ice pack around Xiao Yu's ankle, and then instructed: "You can apply a hot compress appropriately after 24 hours."

"For three days, it is recommended to lie flat with your feet elevated above your heart to help the swelling continue to go down."

"You can also gently massage with safflower oil, or you can come over for a massage."

What Shen Mo talked about were all common massage knowledge, which Feng Jin and the other two female colleagues were already familiar with.

But to Zhao Shuchan and his wife, it sounded like an imperial decree, and they nodded hurriedly.

Zhao Shuchan no longer paid attention to her husband and turned to look at Shen Mo expectantly.

"Doctor, what about that disease?"

Shen Mo did not correct her mistake in addressing him, but recalled the records in the medical book.

"Bartter syndrome is a genetic disease that is currently difficult to treat surgically. The key is whether it is discovered early."

"Once it develops into nephritis or renal failure, it will be very troublesome."

"Your daughter's condition is currently in the early stages and requires appropriate medication and diet control. I suggest you go to a large hospital for a checkup."

Hearing that it was still early days, Zhao Shuchan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The couple have been living separately since Wang Shifeng cheated on his wife two years ago.

In the past two years, Zhao Shuchan has been frantically busy with work in order to forget her hatred for her husband, but she has also neglected to care for her daughter.

On their daughter’s sixteenth birthday, the couple managed to get together and go shopping with their daughter.

If my daughter hadn't sprained her ankle and hadn't been lucky enough to meet Shen Mo, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuchan couldn't help but cast a look of deep gratitude towards Shen Mo.

"Doctor, thank you so much, you saved my daughter's life..."

Her tears were streaming down her face and she wanted to kneel down to express her gratitude.

This beautiful woman who still has her charm disregarded her status and image for her daughter, which moved Feng Jin and others.

Shen Mo quickly jumped up from his seat and went forward to support Zhao Shuchan. "Auntie, don't be like this, it's just a small favor!"

Zhao Shuchan wiped away her tears and gestured to her husband beside her.

Wang Shifeng was stunned for a moment, then he understood and handed over the bag he was carrying with some hesitation.

Zhao Shuchan took out a wad of money from his bag. It looked to be about 10,000 yuan thick. "Thank you, young man. This is all I have with me. Please accept it."

"Ah this..."

Shen Mo quickly declined.

But Zhao Shuchan was determined and insisted that he accept it.

Wang Shifeng watched his wife give all the money in her bag to Shen Mo. The corners of his mouth twitched and his face turned red.

He was extremely reluctant and wanted to say something, but in the end he held it back.

Outsiders, seeing his elegant clothes, refined appearance, and slicked-back hair, would think he is a successful person.

Only he himself knew that his business had been going downhill since his wife discovered his cheating two years ago and the couple separated.

He originally came from a poor family in another place. After he was admitted to university in Hangzhou, he met Zhao Shuchan, a local rich girl.

Zhao Shuchan comes from a wealthy family. His father and several uncles and brothers run a building materials company, and his mother is a doctor in a Grade A hospital.

Wang Shifeng went to great lengths and finally caught up with Zhao Shuchan.

It was also with the help of his wife's family that he was able to buy a house and settle down in Hangzhou and start a considerable business.

At the beginning, he behaved himself, especially in the few years after his daughter was born, he tried his best to be a good husband and father.

Unfortunately, as his career grew and his social engagements increased, he finally couldn't control his restless heart and started keeping a mistress outside.

Of course, he would never divorce Zhao Shuchan.

In his eyes, Zhao Shuchan was beautiful and gentle, her family was rich, and she was a good and virtuous wife.

However, for a successful man like him, he dare not have three wives and four concubines like in ancient times. At least the red flag is flying at home and the colorful flags are fluttering outside. Isn't it normal?

But he overestimated his ability to have two relationships at the same time and underestimated his wife's determination.

After Zhao Shuchan discovered that he had cheated on her, she separated from him immediately, and it has been two years since then.

When his father-in-law's family found out about this, they immediately stopped supporting his business.

Although he chose to cut off his own arm and gave the mistress a breakup fee, he turned around and knelt down to beg for forgiveness from Zhao Shuchan.

But in the past two years, his business has continued to lose money, his assets have shrunk a lot, and he lives a tight life.

On his daughter's sixteenth birthday, he cried and begged his wife, and finally got the chance to spend time with his daughter, hoping that his wife would change her mind and help him with his career again.

"After all, I am Xiaoyu's father!" He planned it well.

This time, when the family of three celebrated their birthday, he put on a brave face and spent his limited money to act like a good husband and father.

This time, Xiao Yu sprained his ankle and came to "Daoyuan" massage parlor for a massage. After being massaged by Feng Jin until he fainted, he was actually very excited inside.

He knew that Xiaoyu would never have any major accidents.

But this did not prevent him from having already decided to extort some money from the massage parlor.

This way, he can give himself a break financially.

But man proposes, God disposes. He never expected that Shen Mo would suddenly appear on the road.

Not only did she save her daughter, she also helped heal her sprained ankle, thus thwarting his plan to extort money.

In the end, he was forced to mention his Barthes syndrome in front of his wife, making all his efforts to manage his image in recent days go to waste.

This brat is so annoying!
What’s even more infuriating is that the wife actually gave all the more than 10,000 yuan in her bag to this enemy.

It seemed like fire was coming out of Wang Shifeng's eyes!
