Lin Feiyin deftly opened the door and entered. Without greeting the newcomer, she quickly walked to the bedside, and fed Shen Xi the pill she held in her hand.
She moved so swiftly that only after the pill had been administered did she hear the newcomer's stern voice, "Wait a minute! How could his broken rib have pierced so deeply into his lung lobe? And why, without even removing the fragment or setting the bone, did you feed him medicine?"
At this, Lin Feiyin remembered her oversight and became flustered. "What should I do? I... I forgot just now..." As she spoke, she didn't wait for a response and pried open Shen Xi's mouth, attempting to retrieve the pill, only to find nothing inside.
She then heard the newcomer say coldly, "It's no use. That pill melts upon entering the mouth, it has already dissolved into water and been absorbed by him; you won't be able to find it."
