Chapter 232 -232: Could An Zhiyuan Be Her Life-saving Elixir?
Jiang Shaoqing saw Bai Xiao drop his own grandfather and run to the side to engage in some deceitful tricks, which infuriated him beyond measure. The few bodyguards called by Principal Jiang just now were all watching fiercely from the side. While they didn’t know what they were there to do, they were aware there must be an emergency that needed their attention.
How could they not see what was going on?
It surely had something to do with the medical experts present, or perhaps, bringing the old master back from the brink. Just a few days ago, a quack doctor had treated the old master, leaving him with a crooked mouth and a squint. After a severe beating from them, the old master had nearly lost his life. If it weren’t for today’s visit from the so-called medical authority, who had called in many favors to mediate, it might have been Jiang Shaoqing’s last straw. Otherwise, that man could very well have been sent to the police station, and whether he would be able to return was another matter altogether.
Could it be that today, someone foolhardy had come to the Jiang Family to engage in these worthless acts?
These people waited expressionlessly for orders from above, ready to carry them out.
“Kick that fraud of a woman out and never allow her to set foot in our Jiang Family’s doorway again,” Jiang Shaoqing had already checked on his grandfather earlier, and the only consolation was that, although the old master had been pricked with two needles, at least he didn’t have a crooked mouth, body spasms, or any life-threatening conditions.
Wait a moment.
Jiang Shaoqing suddenly felt that something was amiss, as if he had overlooked something and was about to turn back to carefully check on his grandfather.
Just then, a frail and elderly voice came from behind, “Who… are you… driving out?”
Jiang Shaoqing immediately felt tears well up in his eyes. That voice was all too familiar, it was indeed his own grandfather’s voice.
Turning his head, he saw that without his knowledge, the old master had slowly opened his eyes, and within those cloudy eyes, the gaze fixed on him was indeed that of his kind grandfather.
Principal Jiang and Jiang Shaoqing both rushed over immediately.
Each tightly grasped the old master’s hands.
“Grandfather!”
“Dad!”
Before they could speak, both were already choked up. The old master had been comatose for so many days.
They had invited no fewer than a hundred doctors from outside, and 60% of them had clearly stated that he was in a vegetative state, with no currently effective treatments available for vegetative patients in modern medicine.
The remaining 40% who claimed they could cure him had essentially come back empty-handed.
Deep down, they had already prepared for the worst: the old master might not survive this time. Although he had become comatose, his physical condition was gradually deteriorating, including his internal organs and other bodily functions. Under the watch of so many experts, it was clear that he was in a slowly deteriorating state.
Many experts had said that under such conditions, it was likely the old master wouldn’t make it through, and they had prepared themselves for the worst.
But now, the old master had actually woken up and was even talking to them. It was a situation that outsiders might not understand.
Only those who are closest can truly appreciate and be grateful for this regained blessing.
“You… don’t stand there… muttering, that girl… her abilities are incredible, she is indeed your father’s… lifesaver. You, my grandson… ah, I always thought you were calm… Why are you so reckless this time… not observing carefully before… deciding in the end, how could you be so rash… wanting to drive… someone out.”
The old master spoke with unsteady breaths and was still wheezing, revealing his physical frailty.
With tears in his eyes, Jiang Shaoqing nodded vigorously to his grandfather.
“Grandfather, I was wrong, I admitted I misjudged Doctor Bai. From now on, she is a great benefactor of our family, and I am going to make amends and apologize to her until she forgives me.”
As long as his grandfather could wake up, even if it meant his own immediate death, it wouldn’t matter to him.
Moreover, Jiang Shaoqing was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment; he sincerely respected those with real ability.
He had been wrong, and that was that.
Considering his recent attitude, the fact that this young lady didn’t refuse to help out of spite was enough for him to believe that she was a person with a broad mind and a compassionate heart.
Jiang Shaoqing was a man of action.
He stood up, wiped his face with his hand, and in a few steps, reached the bundled-up Bai Xiao and knelt before her with a thud.
“Doctor Bai, I was wrong today; I used a petty mind to measure a noble heart, associating you with those mediocre doctors. I sincerely apologize to you here. Today you saved my grandfather; from this day on, you are my family’s great benefactor. Should you ever ask anything of me, I, Jiang Shaoqing, will go through fire and water to make it happen,” he said.
His attitude was absolutely sincere, and this vow was by no means insignificant. In the eyes of outsiders, the Jiang Family was not only powerful but also known for keeping their word; they fulfilled their promises without fail.
Bai Xiao shivered and raised her brows, “Jiang… Shaoqing, I will… remember what you… said today, and I… hope you… do as you said. Please… stand up; why are you… kneeling before me like… this?”
What she wanted was that promise.
Jiang Shaoqing quickly stood up, suddenly finding the young girl before him unexpectedly pleasant to look at. Not only were her medical skills excellent, but her broad-mindedness and frank nature suddenly appealed to him greatly.
He secretly resolved that should Bai Xiao ever need anything in the future, he, Jiang Shaoqing, would definitely not hesitate to face death for her.
With his abilities and the Jiang Family’s position and means, protecting a doctor was more than feasible.
Wang Han hurried over, “Sister-in-law, are you okay?” The last time he had heard that Bai Xiao nearly died after saving him.
At first, when An Zhiyuan warned him repeatedly, he thought it was an overreaction.
He assumed An Zhiyuan was just overly concerned about his wife, which is why he cared so much. Now seeing Bai Xiao’s condition, he realized what An Big Brother was actually worried about.
Jiang Shaoqing suddenly realized, this was An Zhiyuan’s wife!
He couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed; his eagerness to repay her meant probably having no chance to do so, as An Family’s resources and backing were no less significant than those of the Jiang Family. Did they even need the Jiang Family’s help to protect someone or to support someone?
“I’m fine! It’s just that the… True Qi depletion was… too much… I need some time… to recover.”
Bai Xiao knew Wang Han had been very helpful this time.
Xiaoli glanced sidelong at Jiang Shaoqing, “Some people don’t understand the situation with our Doctor Bai, nearly causing a fatal incident.” She was, of course, quite cocky.
Jiang Shaoqing felt ashamed, now understanding that everything this assistant needed wasn’t for the old master, but for Doctor Bai.
This misunderstanding was indeed substantial.
“Xiaoli, stop it. Jiang Shaoqing didn’t mean it; it’s a case of being in the fray versus observing from the side. My age makes many people misunderstand, and it’s not Jiang Shaoqing’s fault,” Bai Xiao, feeling much better now, said somewhat surprised to find herself recovering faster from the chill than usual. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Although she had been holding back her special ability, it shouldn’t have been this quick.
Thoughtful.
She recalled that recently, the times she exhibited side effects from treating and saving people, An Zhiyuan was always by her side.
Could it be that An Zhiyuan was her lifesaving remedy?
