The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1176-1180 (Cleaned Up)
Chapter 1176
Christopher would be receiving daily infusions for the next fourteen days, five or six bottles each time.
"Doctor," Christopher asked urgently, "Will the medicine alleviate the itching today? It's excruciating. The more I scratch, the itchier it gets."
The doctor replied, "This condition is intensely itchy, especially since it's ulcerated, purulent, and inflamed in a sensitive area. However, today's medication should provide some relief."
"From now on," the doctor continued, "avoid seafood, spicy foods, alcohol, and smoking. These will severely worsen your condition."
"Doctor," Christopher blurted out, "I ate twenty abalones and drank over half a bottle of Maotai at lunch. Will that be a problem?"
The doctor's face hardened. "Are you trying to kill yourself? Those are 'hair things'โseafood, including kelp, is strictly forbidden!"
Christopher's face fell. "I didn't know! If I had, I wouldn't have dared to eat or drink anything!"
The doctor sighed. "There's no treatment today. You may go home."
Christopher panicked. "Why not? I'm desperate! Please treat me, or I'll scratch myself raw!"
The doctor shook his head. "This requires a large dose of antibiotics. Mixing antibiotics with alcohol can cause a disulfiram-like reactionโit could be fatal. Do you want to endure the itch for another day, or risk your life?"
Christopher was near tears. The situation was unbearable.
He pleaded, "Doctor, please, some anti-itch medication? I can't take it anymore."
The doctor sighed and prescribed a cleansing liquid with some anti-itching properties.
"One more thing," the doctor added, "Do not scratch! The damaged area is vulnerable to further infection. The pus and blood contain bacteria, which can spread the infection and worsen the condition. Severe infection can lead to sepsis, which is life-threatening."
Christopher wiped away a tear. "This is a nightmareโฆ how could this happen to me?"
The doctor sighed. "It begins with personal hygiene. Be more cautious in your intimate relationships and avoid casual encounters."
Christopher, unable to explain how he contracted the disease, merely nodded. "Thank you, doctor. I understandโฆ"
The doctor hummed, then asked, "You're married, aren't you?"
Christopher nodded.
"You should have your partner checked," the doctor advised. "This is highly contagious. If you contracted it outside the marriage, you could easily infect your spouse."
Christopher was overwhelmed with anger and misery. He knew he hadn't infected his wife; she had infected him. He vowed revenge.
Chapter 1177
Christopher endured the itching and rushed home to find Hannah preparing dinner. Knowing he loved her abalone, she'd bought a large, expensive king crabโanother favorite. She'd even stolen a high-end cooking machine and sold two bottles of Moutai from the wine cellar to afford it. The remaining money was earmarked for an abortion and treatment for her own venereal disease.
Lady Wilson, having bought disinfectant, was thoroughly sterilizing her room upon her return home. After confirming Christopher didn't have AIDS, she still disinfected everything he might touch with alcohol.
Christopher entered, his face grim, the smell of crab filling the air. Hannah emerged, smiling. "Husband, you're back! I steamed your favorite king crab, and there's half a bottle of Moutai to go with it."
This enraged Christopher. He'd been infected by her; she'd fed him seafood twice!
He slapped Hannah to the ground, then beat her mercilessly. Harold and Wendy intervened, begging him to stop. But he raged about her infection and infidelities, his assault continuing until they were forced to intervene.
Hannah, crying, insisted she didn't know he was sick, and never would have prepared seafood if she had. Christopher didn't believe her. Hannah claimed she had tried to refuse his advances, but heโd insisted.
Chapter 1178
Harold and Wendy were mortified. They knew the STD originated from the child Hannah was carrying.
Christopher beat Hannah until she fainted. Lady Wilson intervened, scolding him for the risk to their family's standing with Mr. Webb. Harold also pleaded with his father; if Mr. Webb learned of the incident, their funding could be withdrawn.
Christopher, finally sobered, called for an ambulance, intending to have Hannah's abortion and venereal disease treated simultaneously.
Donald, upon hearing the report, was disgusted by the family's behavior. He lamented the failure of his tactics against Charlie Wade, contrasting the Wilson family's continued survival with the demise of the Eight Heavenly Kings. The Webb family's reputation was ruined; their stock had plummeted, reducing their market value by over 200 billion. They were no longer Southaven's leading family. Sean, depressed about his relationship with Jasmine, asked his father if there was any hope.
Chapter 1179
Donald, once convinced Jasmine would be a great match for Sean, now felt otherwise. The Webb family's ruined reputation made the union impossible. He felt his son lacked awareness of the situation and self-awareness. He considered the Webb family's decline to be due to a lack of hardship and resilience in subsequent generations, contrasting their current situation with the struggles faced by the older generation. He told Sean to focus on resolving the family's issues before considering marriage.
Chapter 1180
Charlie Wade, focused on his pharmaceutical business, contacted Paul to revisit Weaver Pharmaceuticals. Chinese patent medicines were declining in favor of Kampo medicine. Charlie, possessing potent yet potentially disruptive prescriptions, planned a more measured approach, providing classic prescriptions for daily illnesses. But before giving them, he needed to secure a controlling stake in the company. Jacob Wilson, wanting to see Matilda, tried to leverage Charlie's meeting with Paul to arrange a visit. Charlie dissuaded him, explaining Matilda would likely be upset to learn of their actions. He received a call from Paul, excusing himself from his father. Paul was shocked when Charlie Wade revealed his plan to acquire 80% of Weaver Pharmaceuticals' shares not by purchasing them, but by providing invaluable prescriptions. Paul was astonished by the value of these prescriptions.
