Everyone was talking about it. Mabel's mother could not help but look worried. She looked at Fade and said, "Fade, you have helped us a lot. Why don't you leave first..."
Fade said confidently, "Auntie, don't worry! They can't do anything to me!"
As Fade said this, he asked Mrs. Yang to explain Harlem's condition further. He felt that Harlem's illness was a little odd. It did not seem like a common disease at all. Instead, it seemed to be some sort of injury.
When Fade brought up Harlem's illness, Mrs. Yang let out a long sigh. She told Fade everything that had happened.
Harlem was a laborer and his body used to be very healthy. However, a few months ago, after he came back from working in the mountains, he told her that his legs were bitten by some sort of bug and it was slightly swollen. When he got home, he just took some medicine and did not think much about it.
However, she didn't expect that Harlem would fall ill soon after getting bitten by the bug. His condition kept getting worse as the days went by and he soon became very frail.
Before this, Harlem weighed about 75kg but now he was only 40kg. He has lost nearly half of his weight.
They had visited all the doctors in the countryside, the town, and the city, but none of the doctors could give them a diagnosis. They only knew that Harlem's physical condition was constantly deteriorating and his anemia was severe. They could only provide Harlem with some medicine to temporarily relieve the pain.
After listening to Mabel's mother's story, Fade felt that it was even more strange and frowned. Then he lifted the quilt and checked Harlem's leg, which had been bitten by the bug.
Fade saw a tiny wound behind Harlem's leg. The muscles in the wound had become white and stiff, as if the blood in the muscles had been drained, which was very strange.
In such a situation, Fade couldn't help but frown and thought to himself, "That's definitely not an ordinary insect bite. It certainly does not look like a snake bite nor a scorpion bite."
As Fade was examining the wound, Mabel walked over with the medicine.
Immediately, Mabel and her mother worked together to feed Harlem the medicine.
At this time, Doctor Qi and the nurse came over with more security guards in tow.
Doctor Qi had a cotton ball up his nostril to stop the bleeding, and he stared at the scene before him. Resentfully, he said, "Go ahead and keep fooling around. There are five more minutes until the clock strikes 12! You better get your a** out of this place."
The nurse also said angrily, "Let's see what you can do when you leave this place. That old guy is half dead. If you leave now, I guarantee you he will be dead soon."
Everyone couldn't help but frown when they heard the nurse's vicious words. However, they had to admit that what the nurse said was likely to come true. This was because Harlem's condition was indeed bad and once he left the hospital, his condition would further deteriorate.
Moreover, the City One Hospital was the best public hospital in Hamlin City. Even if they wanted to find some other hospital, they might not have the same results.
For a moment, everyone looked at Mabel and her family with sympathy in their eyes.
Doctor Qi and the nurse were staring at the clock at this time as they began to countdown timer.
Ticktock, ticktock!
Everyone could feel the tug at their heartstrings with every passing second.
"There's only three minutes left!" Doctor Qi announced in a cold voice
Mabel ignored Doctor Qi and wiped the stains from the corner of Harlem's mouth.
"Two minutes!" The nurse announced with a smirk on her face.
However, Fade and Mabel remained calm by Harlem's beside. Everyone felt more and more nervous. Many people sighed helplessly at the moment and turned away. They did not want to see the moment where Harlem was kicked out of the hospital.
Harlem, who was in a coma, suddenly coughed and opened his eyes.
