Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 89 Treatment

As soon as Chu Deng entered the ward, she heard Chu Junhai crying. Her mother, Ms. Luo Xia, was also filled with grief. She pursed her lips, quickly glanced at Chu Lin on the hospital bed, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he was still breathing.

"What's going on? What did the doctor say?" Chu Deng asked.

"I don't know if it's snake venom. He just received a general antidote. I don't know how he got frostbite. Your brother needs surgery." Luo Xia's tense nerves relaxed a little when she saw Chu Deng.

Although Luo Xia and Chu Junhai are the parents, they sometimes feel that they, as first-time parents, rely entirely on their daughter's tolerance. Chu Deng is emotionally stable and has always been reliable in her dealings with others since she turned ten. Seeing Chu Deng now is like a shot of adrenaline for Luo Xia, and her panicked heart finally calms down a lot.

Chu Junhai wiped away his tears, nodded, and poured his daughter a glass of water, feeling sorry for her rushing to the hospital right after the exam.

Chu Deng took the water glass, took a sip, and lifted Chu Lin's blanket. "Let me see his injuries."

After saying that, she activated her senses, avoided Luo Xia and Chu Junhai's gaze, and used her not-so-skilled thermal imaging vision.

Chu Lin had two small holes on his leg, which were indeed snake bite marks, but Chu Deng, who went deep into the skin to see the internal condition, discovered something unusual.

This is……

The crystalline blue light spots mixed with the thin, black liquid spread along the hole bitten by the snake's fangs into Chu Lin's blood vessels, and had already spread a little above his knee.

Chu Deng has confirmed it.

The snake that bit Chu Lin was a venomous snake that had awakened ice-type abilities.

"How is Xiaolin? I've urgently coordinated the deployment of a medical pod, and I just had someone bring him into the hospital." Jin Dahai suddenly appeared at the door, knocked, and asked anxiously.

Chu Deng was his daughter's good friend and benefactor. When Jin Dahai learned that Chu Lin was injured, he immediately prepared the best medical pod in the Jin family to help.

"Mr. Jin, this patient has been injected with a universal antidote, and we've just observed signs of detoxification. However, the frostbite requires surgery after the venom has dissipated. After the surgery, we'll have the patient lie in the medical pod, and we guarantee there won't be any scars," the vice president, who was temporarily in charge of receiving Jin Dahai, said solicitously.

"Alright, alright, once Chu Lin recovers, I'll give your hospital priority access to supplies for the medical ward." Jin Dahai made this promise, which almost made the vice president burst into laughter.

However, given that Chu Lin was still lying in the hospital bed, and the vice president was very tactful, he didn't say anything more. After receiving Jin Dahai's promise, he quickly arranged for someone to upgrade Chu Lin to a VIP ward free of charge after the surgery.

"Thank you, Mr. Jin," Chu Junhai and Luo Xia said gratefully to Jin Dahai.

"Not at all, Chu Deng has taken good care of my daughter, it's only right that I lend a hand." Jin Dahai didn't dare to accept the offer and waved his hand, saying, "You two watch the child first, I'll go check on the equipment."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Chu Junhai saw the person out of the ward, then turned around and found that his daughter was gone.

"Dengdeng said she left something in the car and needs to retrieve it. She was brought here by the Jin family's driver, who said he was worried Mr. Jin might forget it when he leaves in the car," Luo Xia said, rubbing her temples.

Chu Deng left the ward and first looked for Qingyu's location. Seeing it standing on a tree outside the ward in a daze, she stopped paying attention and went to Yuan Qifeng's car to take the flowerpot containing the little fire tree.

"Coach Yuan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. We might be delayed for a long time, so we don't need a car for now. Please tell Uncle Jin, thank you." Chu Deng dismissed the waiting Yuan Qifeng, who said he understood and watched Chu Deng's back as she entered the hospital.

While holding the flowerpot, Chu Deng infused the fire tree with fire elements to encourage its growth, and said while tugging at the branches and leaves of the fire tree, "Grow a flame fruit."

The fire tree absorbed the refined, pure fire element, comfortably shook its branches and leaves, and the branches protruding from the flowerpot began to develop.

Looking at the growing little fire tree, Chu Deng added, "Stop growing! Just start bearing fruit already, this flowerpot can't hold you!"

As the fire tree grows, the flowerpot becomes heavier and heavier. If it were allowed to grow freely, it would surely burst out of the pot and become a tree right there in the hospital corridor.

As a plant, the Fire Tree clearly cannot hear human speech and is still growing, with its roots protruding from the ventilation holes at the bottom of the flowerpot and exposed to the air.

Chu Deng stopped injecting fire element and pinched the small flower buds that had sprouted from the fire tree, flicking them repeatedly, trying to make the fire tree understand her meaning through body language.

The fire tree, its branches trembling from being flicked, took advantage of the chaos to extend a root and wrap it around Chu Deng's finger that had flicked it. It didn't use much force, but gently wrapped it around, preventing her from doing anything malicious.

After a while, it was unclear whether it understood Chu Deng's meaning. It remained unchanged, and the flower bud that Chu Deng had flicked slowly opened, and another flower bud opened. Then it controlled the two flower buds to shake against each other. In the blink of an eye, one of the flower buds withered, and a seed emerged from it. The seed gradually grew and turned into a crimson flame fruit.

Fire Tree manipulated its supple vines to pluck the Flame Fruit, coiled it around the fruit, and placed it in Chu Deng's pocket, just the right size to fit inside.

The roots that were entwined around Chu Deng shook her fingers, then loosened and shrank back into the flowerpot.

Chu Deng fed the fire elemental to the fire tree that had worked so hard to bear fruit, and whispered, "Thank you."

She took the fruit and flowerpot into the restroom, and grabbed a cup along the way. Once inside, she juiced the fruit with her bare hands, and all the juice flowed into the cup.

Chu Deng turned on the tap and rinsed her fingers, which were stained red with fruit juice.

Fire Tree twisted its branches and playfully stretched out a branch to block the stream of water flowing from the faucet, causing the flowing water to splash onto Chu Deng's face.

Chu Deng squinted at Huo Shu, who guiltily shrank back and stayed obediently in the flowerpot, not daring to move.

Chu Deng shook her wet hands on the flowerpot, dripping water droplets onto the fire tree.

"An eye for an eye," Chu Deng said with a smile.

The fire tree shook off the water droplets all over its body, and suddenly burst into flames, drying all the water off.

As an awakened fire element tree, it now dislikes water.

Luckily, no one was in the restroom, otherwise it would have startled passersby.

Chu Deng took off her coat and covered the flowerpot to prevent the fire tree from suddenly bursting into flames again.

That's what happens when you can't communicate with plants; you never know when the tree will go crazy. Chu Deng has to be careful.

With a coat covering it, even if the fire is hidden from others, she can quickly extinguish it.

However, saving Chu Lin was the priority. Chu Deng carried the Flame Fruit juice into the ward. Luo Xia and Chu Junhai were still sitting in the ward, and Chu Lin had not yet started the surgery.

As she was thinking about how to get rid of the two of them, she heard Luo Xia say, "Mr. Jin asked me to go over there. He said he wants to teach me how to use a simple medical device so that he can get one for his home."

The simplified medical device is a civilian version of the medical capsule, which, due to special circumstances, can only be operated by professionals. The Jin family has just developed the medical device and is still awaiting approval, but it has already passed national testing and will be on the market soon.

Because of Chu Lin, Jin Dahai contacted Luo Xia and said he wanted to send one to their family.

However, Luo Xia refused and instead proposed to buy it at the market price. Jin Dahai did not insist and sent a message to either Luo Xia or Chu Junhai to learn how to use it, leaving one person to watch over Chu Lin.

“Okay, then you go ahead, I’ll stay here and keep watch,” Chu Junhai said.

After Luo Xia left, Chu Deng said, "Dad, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

Her father, Chu Junhai, was easier to fool than her mother; Chu Deng easily sent him away with any excuse.

Feeling sorry for his daughter, Chu Junhai went to the door to buy snacks for Chu Deng, without considering why the usually independent Chu Deng didn't go to buy them herself and had to tell him.

The vending machine was not far from the door. Time was limited, so Chu Deng quickly shoved the Flaming Juice into her unlucky younger brother's mouth. Chaos wiped Chu Lin's mouth with a tissue, then poured some on Chu Lin's injured leg, thankfully not spilling it on the hospital bed.

After doing the good deed, Chu Deng sat obediently on the sofa, waiting for her father to feed her.
