Chapter 57 Taking Care of 2
Chapter 57 Taking Care of 2
Qiao Xiao: "System, you're asking for too much right now."
The system remained silent. Her body sank slowly into the bed, exhausted, like scattered willow catkins, dancing aimlessly in the wind.
Inadvertently, she touched the medical report that Jiang Yu had left on the edge of the bed, and a complex emotion quietly welled up in her heart.
A pang of self-reproach gnawed at her heart; she realized that she might have been a bit too harsh on Jiang Yu.
He generously donated money to cover her medical expenses.
After all, she has no money right now.
I saved him with a purpose, but he was selfless.
Qiao Xiao was self-aware and felt her conscience knocking on her heart.
"Am I being a bit too much?"
The question lingered in her mind; it was impossible, it was just a casual remark, and she hadn't taken it to heart.
She had a conscience, but it was fleeting.
Surprisingly, even though Jiang Yu was just acting out of spite, he didn't actually leave.
At this moment, how could he possibly abandon her? Yan Rui, who was all alone, needed his care.
Qiao Xiao was on the verge of tears, knowing she was about to face a situation involving three people. "I don't have the ability to handle it with ease. I would rather die than face that scene."
Fate seems to love playing tricks on people. Just as she stepped out of the ward, the three of them converged from different directions at the same time, and their eyes fell on Qiao Xiao without prior arrangement.
"Jo!"
"Yan Rui!"
"Qiao Xiao!"
The three calls rang out almost simultaneously, each carrying a different emotion and a different call.
This unexpected coincidence made the surrounding air seem to freeze.
"Oh my god, this is killing me! System, did you arrange this?" She gritted her teeth.
At this moment, a nurse on the night shift noticed Qiao Xiao: "Patient, why did you come out by yourself?"
She quickly helped Qiao Xiao back to her bed, then turned to ask the three people following behind, "The patient needs to rest now. May I ask which of you is her family member?"
When asked by the nurse, all three fell into a brief silence.
They each exude a different kind of charm.
Gu Jinghe, though slightly thin, could not hide his profound cultural background and gentle demeanor. He was like a gentleman, wearing a light white shirt and simple clothes. However, his foreign-looking face naturally made him the first person the nurses would exclude.
Qin Yan stood tall and straight like a pine tree, exuding an indescribable noble temperament in every gesture. His aura was overwhelming, and his aloof and detached demeanor made it difficult for people to approach him. Like a blue rose, he was always dressed in a suit and tie, seemingly a leader who looked down on everything.
Jiang Yu, on the other hand, exuded youthful vigor and vitality. A light sweat appeared on his forehead, and his cool face resembled snow falling on an ice peak. His presence was as undeniable as the scent of a valley iris.
The nurse quickly checked the file, decisively pulled Jiang Yu aside, and said in a low but urgent voice, "The patient's condition is extremely critical, and the family needs to be there as soon as possible."
Because it was Jiang Yu who took Qiao Xiao to the hospital, he needs to bear the corresponding responsibility, including the cost of calling an ambulance.
At the end of the hospital corridor, a doctor walked quickly, holding a freshly printed test result in his hand, his face filled with disbelief.
“Ms. Qiao Xiao,” the doctor took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound calm, “we have just reviewed your medical records and discovered something unprecedented. Your condition does not seem to be exactly as we previously diagnosed it.”
All eyes instantly focused on the doctor, and an indescribable tension filled the air.
"Further examination revealed a rare genetic mutation in your body. This mutation not only explains the unpredictable nature of your previous illness but also foreshadows a shocking fact—you may possess some kind of special self-healing ability."
The doctor's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's hearts.
Jiang Yu, Gu Jinghe, and Qin Yan all turned to look at Qiao Xiao, their pupils dilating in shock, as if they were all trying to process this sudden information.
Qiao Xiao asked calmly, her expression unchanged, "What does this mean?"
"This means that your body may be undergoing an unprecedented transformation," the doctor explained. "This self-healing ability may help you overcome many diseases that previously seemed insurmountable."
This news was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
Qiao Xiao thought to herself, "Isn't this a miracle, or did the system deduct ten points?"
The doctor advised Qiao Xiao to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time in order to better understand this self-healing ability.
She asked the doctor, "So, are you going to contact someone to take me away and do experiments?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinghe spoke first: "Doctor, is that really the case?" His eyes were clear and innocent, showing no harm whatsoever.
Qin Yan subconsciously picked up his phone, preparing to make a call, but he immediately turned to the side and pulled Qiao Xiao to his side, protecting her behind him.
Jiang Yu stared menacingly at the doctor, looking as if he were about to confront him with his fists.
The doctor panicked and replied righteously, "My patient, live experimentation is illegal. Please don't talk nonsense."
Qiao Xiao thought to herself, "This is really unrealistic."
Jealousy was etched in Gu Jinghe's eyes as he questioned Qin Yan, "Why are you dragging her along?"
Qin Yan looked at Gu Jinghe, who was thinner than him, with some impatience, a hint of displeasure in his eyes, "Protect her, what else can I say?"
Jiang Yu: "Who are you to her? Does she need your protection?" His usually cold face now showed signs of agitation, which seemed out of place. "You're not even her family. Stay away from her."
He looked very protective of his own.
He knew that Yan Rui was an orphan, without father or mother, so where did this shady person come from?
Qin Yan was powerless to refute; he was indeed nameless and without status, and had no right to protect her.
Gu Jinghe: "Thank you for bringing my housekeeper to the hospital. Here is a card; all medical expenses can be reimbursed here."
Jiang Yu: "Butler? Are you in an employer-employee relationship?"
Gu Jinghe: "We signed a contract that all her injuries during this period are considered work-related injuries, and I will reimburse her for all of them."
After saying that, he bent over and coughed a few times.
Qiao Xiao: "You're not in good health, we shouldn't have let you come."
After hearing this, Gu Jinghe suddenly raised his head. He looked at Qiao Xiao with disbelief and resentment, as if to say, "What are you saying?"
Qiao Xiao couldn't bear to look him in the eye; she felt a little uneasy.
Jiang Yu looked at Qiao Xiao and asked, "Is it true?"
Qiao Xiao shook her head helplessly, then stepped forward to support Gu Jinghe's frail body. "Young Master needs to take good care of himself, otherwise all my efforts will be in vain."
