Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Spent 23 Million Dollars for Loneliness_1

Meanwhile, Professor Tony was using various instruments to check Tao Donghao’s body.

Just as he had mentioned earlier, the power of love is immense. Since Li Tiezhu arrived, Tao Donghao’s emotions had become much calmer, and his heartbeat and blood pressure were all within normal ranges.

The only thing that gave Professor Tony a headache was Tao Donghao’s inexplicably high fever, with a temperature persisting above 39.5 degrees Celsius.

He tried many methods, but none could reduce the temperature.

"Professor Tony, the test results are out."

At that moment, a female team member came out with several lab reports, "Mr. Tao’s white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets are all normal."

"We can probably rule out poisoning."

Professor Tony nodded slightly, then shook his head, "No, there’s still something wrong."

"Young Master Tao has been running a high fever for two days straight, and normally, the white blood cell count should surge in such cases. But now, the count remains normal at 7.5."

"On the one hand, there’s a high fever, but on the other hand, the internal values are as normal as can be."

"In all my over twenty years of practicing medicine, I’ve never seen such a bizarre phenomenon."

Just as he was pondering, a member checking Tao Donghao’s temperature suddenly exclaimed, "Not good! The patient’s temperature has exceeded 40.5 degrees and shows signs of further worsening!"

According to medical convention, the maximum tolerable body temperature ranges between 40.6 to 41.4 degrees Celsius — exceeding 41.4 degrees could cause permanent brain damage.

If the high temperature persists above 42 degrees, it can easily lead to the patient going into shock, along with other serious complications.

Once the body temperature exceeds 43 degrees, the chances of survival are very low.

"Hurry! Go prepare the fever-reducing injection!"

Professor Tony rushed over and began to direct the team members for emergency treatment.

...

"Family Head! It’s not good! The Second Young Master’s condition has worsened!"

Outside the room, the anxious voice of the bodyguard Tao Er resounded.

Upon discovering something was wrong with Tao Donghao’s body, Professor Tony had hastily arranged for his rescue, and it was at this moment Tao Er came to inform Tao Wenqiang.

At the sound, Tao Wenqiang’s eyes bulged as he leapt to his feet and hurriedly rushed out, "What’s happened? Wasn’t he fine just a moment ago? How did things suddenly take a turn for the worse?"

"Where’s Professor Tony? Has he found the problem?"

Tao Er gave a wry smile and replied, "Family Head, you should go over and see for yourself. The Second Young Master’s condition is very bad. He’s been convulsing, and he’s been talking nonsense."

Hearing that his son was in such a serious condition, Tao Wenqiang immediately ran to the hall.

Tao Donglai and Tao Pinggui followed closely behind.

"Professor Tony, please give me an explanation!"

"I spent twenty-three million dollars to charter a special plane to bring your team over from Aimeiruike especially for my son’s treatment!"

Arriving in the hall, Tao Wenqiang spoke through clenched teeth, trying to contain his anger, "But why is my son now suddenly running a high fever that just won’t break?"

At this moment, Professor Tony was also feeling irritated, fuck, I’m not Jesus, I can’t cure everyone.

Your son’s values are all correct, who the hell knows what the problem is!

But since Tony was paid, certainly he wouldn’t speak so bluntly to his employer.

"Mr. Tao, I just asked your people, and the Second Young Master has been experiencing high fevers frequently during these two days, each episode lasting two to three hours," said Professor Tony.

"This is beyond our control. What we can do now is try to reduce the Second Young Master’s fever as swiftly as possible."

Tao Wenqiang snorted, knowing Professor Tony was right, but thinking about the twenty-three million dollars spent without achieving anything was frustrating. It would upset anyone.

"Then tell me, what exactly is causing my son to have a fever?"

Tao Donglai also came over at this point, adding, "Could it be that he was poisoned?"

"There’s no poison."

Professor Tony shook his head, handing over the blood, urine, and stool test reports to Tao Wenqiang with assurance, "I can tell you with certainty, the Second Young Master has not been poisoned."

"From the liver function tests and blood tests, the values look very normal."

Hearing this, Tao Pinggui interjected, "Then why is Donghao having a fever?"

Professor Tony, with a proud look, began to show off his professional knowledge, "From a medical perspective, high fever is a precursor sign of some diseases. Generally, the causes of fever can be divided into two main categories: acute infectious diseases and non-infectious diseases."

"The former are more common, such as bacterial, viral infections of the respiratory tract, digestive tract, urinary tract or skin infections etc."

"The latter mainly include reactive diseases like drug fever, serum sickness, as well as neurological dysfunction and metabolic diseases..."

Tao Wenqiang furrowed his brows, not understanding the technical jargon, and interrupted, "Just tell me, what exactly is causing Donghao to have a fever? Is there a way to bring it down all at once?"

"Uh..."

Professor Tony’s expression suddenly became awkward, "From the current situation, it seems that the Second Young Master doesn’t fall into either of these categories."

"His situation is very special, the values are normal, but he is inexplicably running a high fever."

"Right now, I can only administer a fever-reducing injection to calm the Second Young Master down, then give him some specific medication to see if it works."

"As for whether we can bring down the fever all at once, I am not sure at this moment."

"In medicine, we emphasize the importance of tracing the root cause. If I can’t find the origin of the Second Young Master’s illness, it will be difficult for me to find a radical cure."
