Inside the room.
Xiang Ying stood near the bed, instructing a maid to pat Mr. Li's back while another maid brought saltwater for him to rinse his mouth.
Mr. Li was gasping heavily, with traces of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Xiang Ying stepped forward, tilting her head to examine him: "Mr. Li, how do you feel, much better now?"
Mr. Li was completely exhausted from vomiting.
He gasped for a moment before nodding: "Much better indeed, what was all that I vomited up just now?"
Xiang Ying smiled: "Worms, it looks like there were about a dozen."
Mr. Li felt nauseated to his core.
"You mean to say, these things were living inside me all this time?"
"To be precise, they were in your stomach and intestines. You consumed something that contained their eggs, so these parasites stayed inside your body and gradually grew into what you saw."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Li instinctively felt queasy and retched a couple of times, but fortunately, he found he had nothing left to vomit.
