Chapter 1

At the pediatric ward of the First People's Hospital of Donghai City, at 7:32 PM, in the sixth pediatric ward, a large group of doctors and nurses gathered around. On the bed lay a little boy, about four or five years old, with black hair, his eyes tightly closed, and his cheeks flushed.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man, around fifty, wearing a plaid suit, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, entered, looking anxious.

"Director Zhao!"

Everyone greeted the middle-aged man.

"How is the little boy doing?" Director Zhao asked.

"His temperature was just measured, it's 42 degrees," Liang Yan said.

"What, 42 degrees! Has he been given a fever-reducing injection?" Director Zhao asked.

"Three hours ago, he was given a compound aminopyrine injection, but the temperature hasn't come down!" Liang Yan said.

"This patient is very important; he is Mayor Gao's grandson. There can't be any mistakes. I think we should call Li Hanyan," Director Zhao said.

"Li Hanyan!"

At the mention of Li Hanyan's name, Liang Yan felt a pang of jealousy. This woman, whom she envied but had to admire, was truly remarkable.

Li Hanyan graduated from the Royal College of Medicine in the UK with a doctoral degree and has won the Royal Medical Award twice. Her medical skills are exceptional, especially in pediatrics and gynecology. In the entire Donghai City, Li Hanyan is one of the top medical experts.

More astonishingly, this highly skilled doctor is only twenty-six years old and extremely beautiful. She has a tall figure, a heart-shaped face, almond eyes, thick eyebrows, a small nose, and slightly upturned lips. Her well-proportioned figure leaves all men in awe!

Li Hanyan is very proud and rarely speaks. She is serious and meticulous in her work. In Liang Yan's eyes, Li Hanyan is a very cold and beautiful person, and her assistant, Zhang Xiaolei, is the same. Truly, like attracts like.

Half an hour later, Li Hanyan arrived, followed by her assistant, Zhang Xiaolei.

"Hanyan, I entrust this little boy to you. He is Mayor Gao's grandson. Mayor Gao called and specifically asked for you to treat him," Director Zhao said with a smile.

"I'll do my best," Li Hanyan said coldly.

Li Hanyan looked at the medical records and glanced at Liang Yan. "Doctor Liang, why did you use compound aminopyrine to reduce the fever? This drug has significant side effects and is basically banned internationally!"

"Oh, I had no choice," Liang Yan said awkwardly.

Li Hanyan examined the little boy's eyes and listened to his heart and lungs with a stethoscope.

"The respiratory system is normal, and the heart rate is normal, but the temperature is 42 degrees. How is this possible?" Li Hanyan asked, puzzled.

"Xiaolei, use ice packs to reduce the temperature, and then use a rectal suppository."

Assistant Zhang Xiaolei placed ice packs on the little boy's head, palms, and soles, and inserted a rectal suppository.

Two hours later, Zhang Xiaolei frowned, holding the thermometer. "The temperature is still 42 degrees!"

Li Hanyan was taken aback, clearly not expecting this result. She frowned. "How can this be? It's impossible!"

Liang Yan, seeing that Li Hanyan's method of reducing the temperature was ineffective, felt secretly pleased. "Hmph, you think you're so capable? You can't bring the temperature down either. Let's see how you handle this!"

Director Zhao, anxious, said, "Hanyan, what's going on? The temperature isn't coming down?"

Li Hanyan didn't speak, examining the little boy's eyes again and listening to his heart and lungs with the stethoscope. This time, she was truly at a loss. This was something she had never encountered before. All the boy's organs were normal, but the temperature wouldn't come down!

Strange!

Director Zhao looked anxiously at the frowning Li Hanyan, and almost everyone was watching Li Hanyan.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open, and a young man in a white coat, with messy hair, holding a broom, and whistling, entered.

"Who are you? Why didn't you knock before entering?" Director Zhao asked, displeased.

"He's Jiang Fan, a new intern in the pediatric ward," Liang Yan said.

Jiang Fan, clearly not expecting so many people in the ward, and seeing that Director Zhao was there, said awkwardly, "I'm on duty today, and I came to check on the patients."

"Why are you holding a broom to check on patients?" Director Zhao asked, confused.

"Oh, I'm just cleaning up as I go," Jiang Fan explained, though he was actually just playing with the broom.

"Hmph!" Director Zhao said, displeased. "Li Hanyan is consulting and treating the patient. This isn't your business. You can leave!"

Li Hanyan recognized Jiang Fan. He often wandered around, his eyes always on beautiful women, especially when he saw her, his lecherous eyes would stare at her chest without any restraint.

Li Hanyan despised such uneducated, lecherous, and frivolous interns the most.

Jiang Fan didn't care. He glanced at the little boy on the bed and smiled at Li Hanyan. "I'm sure that no matter what you do, you won't be able to bring the child's temperature down!"

"What do you know? Get out!" Director Zhao said, a bit angry. This is Mayor Gao's grandson. If anything happens in our hospital, the consequences will be severe.

"Do you have a solution?" Li Hanyan asked coldly, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Jiang Fan.

"Of course I do, and I can bring his temperature back to normal in just ten minutes," Jiang Fan said with a smile, his gaze falling on Li Hanyan's small lips.

"Can you really make my son's fever go down?" The little boy's mother asked, surprised.

"We can't just do this recklessly!" Director Zhao said, uneasy.

Jiang Fan didn't answer Director Zhao. He smiled at the little boy's mother. "Your child must have been frightened before the fever started, right?"

"How did you know! Yes, yesterday when we were out, he almost got bitten by a dog, and he cried in fear. He started running a fever that night," the little boy's mother said, surprised.

"That's the reason he still has a fever! Because he was frightened, it caused his mind to be unsettled, which led to the rise in temperature!" Jiang Fan said.

"Frightened, causing the mind to be unsettled, leading to a rise in temperature? What's the principle behind this?" Li Hanyan asked, puzzled.

"What medicine do you plan to use?" Li Hanyan asked.

Jiang Fan smiled. "This condition doesn't require injections or medication. It can't be treated with drugs."

"What, no injections, no medication, not even physical cooling methods?" Li Hanyan asked, surprised.

"Physical cooling methods, like ice packs, only have a local effect and only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. I'm sure you've already tried that!" Jiang Fan said.

"No injections! No medication! No physical therapy! I want to see what magic you have to bring the child's temperature down!" Li Hanyan said coldly, her face showing disbelief.
