Xiang Yi Mo’s whole body was resting in Jing Qian’s arms.
Now, the two of them were particularly close to each other, and Xiang Yi Mo could even hear his heartbeat, worrying for her.
“It’s fine. It’s just low blood sugar.” She said weakly.
Jing Qian bent down and lifted her.
As her body was suddenly lifted into the air, Xiang Yi Mo grabbed his shoulders in a fluster and exclaimed, “Jing Qian!” The tone of her voice at the end was raised.
At that moment, the soft and fragrant person was in his arms.
The little girl could only cling to him like a floating weed, giving him a wonderful feeling that he had never felt before, causing his heart to flutter.
His heart, which had been calm all his life, fluttered.
However, taking into account the young girl’s body, Jing Qian didn’t bother to look into that inexplicable feeling.
He carried the soft ball in his arms to the sofa and placed her down. Then, he carefully made her lie against it as if she was some fragile object. “I’ll go to the kitchen and make you some sugar water.”
As he said that, he got up and walked toward the kitchen.
Xiang Yi Mo watched as the man acted according to the script she had arranged. Falling step by step into the trap, she had carefully designed for him. From behind, where the man couldn’t see, the corners of her mouth curled up imperceptibly.
A cunning look swept through her peach blossom eyes, where there was no trace of the weakness she had shown earlier.
Honestly, there are plenty more fish in the sea.
The lard must have blinded her in the past. How could she have only had eyes for Qin Chu and not noticed the good fishes around him?
Let’s not talk about the other two people she hasn’t met yet. Just speaking of Jing Qian, he is tall and handsome and comes from a military and political family background.
Although Jing Qian didn’t join the military or politics, he was a breath of fresh air <sup>[1]</sup> in the Jing family. His medical career had also reached a level that was hard to beat.
At the age of sixteen, he studied at a prestigious university abroad, published thirty SCI journals during his studies, and returned to the country after only six years to obtain his doctorate in clinical medicine.
On this day, at the age of 26, he is already the Deputy Chief Doctor of Cardiac Surgery at the First People’s Hospital, a tertiary hospital in the capital. He was a handpicked successor of the Chief Doctor of Cardiac Surgery, an internationally renowned genius cardiac surgeon.
So….
Why on earth did she have to hang herself on Qin Chu’s tree previously?
Now, in comparison, the man she once didn’t know well was more and more agreeable to Xiang Yi Mo.
Not only because he was talented but also because he was her lifesaver and gave her so much Love Value at once. Mr Jing, you are an angel, right?
As Xiang Yi Mo was overwhelmed with emotion, Jing Qian walked toward the kitchen and inevitably passed by the dining room. At once, he saw the critical illness notice on the dining table.
His black pupils froze, and his long fingers reached out to the critical illness notice…
The bright red stamp of the First People’s Hospital above the doctor’s signature pricked his eyes.
When he looked at the date of the notice, it was the same day that Xiang Yi Mo’s face was pale, and she ran out in a hurry and bumped into him? So… that’s what happened.
The hand that once wasn’t shaky in the operating theatre was now trembling uncontrollably.
His eyes darkened, and his whole heart felt heavy.
Xiang Yi Mo… is really sick.
When he realised this, he wished that Xiang Yi Mo was lying at this moment or that she was joking.
Holding on to the last, almost slim possibility that perhaps Xiang Yi Mo had forged the document, Jing Qian dialled the doctor he happened to know who had signed the critical illness notice, lying quietly in his phone’s address book.
“So you knew that patient on that day, Miss Xiang? Wait, you said you saw her critical illness notice at home? You and her….”
He was just about to ask what their relationship was, but he felt it was already obvious. After pausing for a few seconds, he continued, “I did sign that critical illness notice. Miss Xiang told you that she wasn’t sick. I guess because she didn’t want you to know the truth.”
“On that day, Miss Xiang was brought to the emergency centre after she collapsed in Huanyu City. We did tests on all aspects, which showed that her entire body organs were declining for some unknown reason.”
“At that time, we also spared some time to hold a meeting regarding Miss Xiang’s condition. But the experts have replied… with no solution so far.”
“Sorry, Dr Jing. There is nothing we can do. You should know that our hospital is full of the most advanced equipment. You should spend more time with that person in your family.”
The voice from the other end carried a profound sense of powerlessness when mentioning Xiang Yi Mo’s condition.
Jing Qian could feel that the man was lamenting and upset about his inability to help the patient through the phone.
