The second dose of medicine was quickly prepared.
A nurse administered the medicine. This time, Chen Xiaoyan's swallowing reflex seemed to have recovered somewhat, and she managed to drink more of the liquid.
"The next few hours will be even more critical," Li Xu said to everyone. "If she can make it through tonight, her chances will be much greater."
Dean Sun checked his watch. "It's already ten o'clock at night. Advisor Li, you need to rest."
"I'll keep watch," Li Xu said simply. "I can't leave at a time like this."
Feng Qiang was overcome with gratitude. "Dr. Li, your immense kindness..."
Li Xu waved his hand. "It's a doctor's duty. You need to rest now, too. Take your child to the next room and get some sleep. I'll notify you immediately if anything changes."
The night deepened. Only Li Xu, the nurse on duty, and the unconscious Chen Xiaoyan remained in the emergency room.
Li Xu also told Song Sisi to go home.
"Hey, old classmate. I'm here."
Miaoli walked over.
