Meanwhile, while Jing Qian was losing sleep, a voice suddenly sounded in the ears of Xiang Yi Mo, who was about to fall asleep—
Love Value +5.
Her eyes that were closed snapped open.
She was lying at home, but the Love Value descended from heaven.
It was precisely what she had hoped for.
Looking at the Love Value of sixty, Xiang Yi Mo recalled the stages the system had told her about.
The Love Value of twenty refers to when one begins to care about the other person. The Love Value of forty means one has feelings for the other person. The Love Value of sixty refers to when one likes and realises that one has feelings for the other person. The Love Value of eighty means one loves the other person. The Love Value of ninety refers to when one is deeply in love with the other person, and the maximum Love Value of a hundred refers to when one has an undying love for another person.
So Jing Qian is aware of his fondness for me?
When Xiang Yi Mo thought of this, she felt a flush of happiness.
So much so that she slept very well that night.
The sleeping Xiang Yi Mo didn’t know that Jing Qian, who had just given her five love points, had not only lost sleep but had also suddenly been called back to the hospital for an operation.
It was already around 5 am when the surgery was over. Therefore, Jing Qian didn’t go back and start his work day just like that.
He sat in his office and shut his eyes for a while, but he still didn’t fall asleep and could only be considered to be resting his eyes.
After breakfast, he made the rounds at around 7.30 am and sat in the consultation room for half a day. After that, he performed another operation.
As soon as Jing Qian came out of the operating room, he received a call from Qin Chu. “Ah Qian, Mo Mo said she was involved in a car accident. I suspect she…”
“What did you say?” Jing Qian’s breath hitched.
On the other end of the line, Qin Chu repeated, “Didn’t you hear me, Ah Qian? I said that Mo Mo just called me and said she was involved in a car accident and wanted me to come over.”
Mo Mo was in a car accident?
Jing Qian’s pupils constricted, and his heart felt like it had stopped for a moment. He asked anxiously, “Where is she now?”
Qin Chu was stunned for a moment. “At your hospital….” Before he could finish his sentence, the phone hung up with a “du, du, du” sound.
And before the call ended, there also seemed to be an anxious voice from Jing Qian’s side, “Dr Jing, where are you going?!”
Qin Chu’s brows drew together. A strange feeling surfaced in her heart.
When he heard that Xiang Yi Mo was involved in a car accident, Jing Qian’s heart was practically in turmoil. He rushed to the emergency department with a serious expression.
He tried to force himself to calm down, but he couldn’t. He couldn’t even hear his colleagues shouting after him, and panic washed over him.
It was only when he saw Xiang Yi Mo sitting quietly in a long row of chairs amid the crowd that his heart, which was being squeezed tightly, relaxed a little.
Jing Qian drew a light breath and approached her. The tension lines between his eyebrows eased as he asked her, “Where are you hurt? Are you okay?”
Xiang Yi Mo looked up at the sound and saw a flash of white.
She was a little surprised; however, she didn’t appear to be too taken aback as if she had guessed it. She silently looked at him for two seconds and pursed her lips.
“Jing Qian, where’s Elder Brother Chu?” She asked.
Jing Qian looked at her and remained silent.
With a dazed expression, she smiled miserably, “I know. He sent you here again, right?”
Jing Qian responded with an “mm” sound and sat on the seat next to her.
He, who was aware that he had fallen for someone else’s little girl, felt even more uncomfortable at this moment.
Xiang Yi Mo’s eyes were filled with indifference, and she calmly said, “As you can see, it’s just a small scrape. The car accident was fake, and the previous illness was fake. Jing Qian… I’m not sick.”
After saying these words, Xiang Yi Mo felt a weight on her shoulder, causing her whole body to freeze. She slowly turned back to see Jing Qian’s eyes closed and a faint green circle under his eyes.
Dr Zhao, who had chased after Jing Qian, saw the sleeping Jing Qian leaning on a young girl’s shoulder.
He was surprised: Is this young girl Dr Jing’s girlfriend who is at death’s door?
Dr Zhao thought so because Jing Qian wasn’t feeling well yesterday, so the people in the hospital discussed what happened to Dr Jing privately.
Then, there was a rumour going around the emergency department that a girl, who was unconscious and had been given a terminal illness notice, was the girlfriend of Dr Jing from the department of Cardiothoracic Surgery .
