Chapter 1914 - 1912: What Exactly Does She Want to Do?
Chapter 1914: Chapter 1912: What Exactly Does She Want to Do?
Gu Qiaoqiao’s gaze swept around the room, finally landing on a Golden Jade Carving on the Duobao Pavilion on the west wall.
It was something she had given to Elder Luo a few years ago.
The design was very simple, in the shape of two mountain peaks, with a white jade in between the peaks that she carved into the shape of a waterfall.
Though she said it was a gift for Elder Luo, he transferred 200,000 yuan into her bank account at that time.
Gu Qiaoqiao accepted it happily, knowing in her heart that some things require equivalent value for them to be truly effective. In this world, anything that can protect you requires equal value to function properly.
To put it bluntly, if a person wants to eat apples, they must plant an apple tree. If you don’t have an apple tree at home, you have to spend money to buy apples. In short, you need to pay equal value to get what you want.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
That’s basically the principle.
Elder Luo gave the best items, like the Protective Buddha Amulet and the Gold Jade Stone Carving, to his eldest grandson. This might be why Luo Ye survived such a severe car accident. Of course, we can’t deny the doctor’s contribution here.
Then Gu Qiaoqiao’s gaze fell on Luo Ye’s chest, where she saw a faint mist with a golden glow.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s pupils shrank; it turned out that the soul was being nurtured in the Protective Buddha Amulet. No wonder Elder Luo said that Luo Ye’s health was gradually improving; it should have a lot to do with this.
Initially, it should have been in the Gold Jade Stone Carving.
Since Gu Qiaoqiao entered, she hadn’t spoken a word, just stood by the patient’s bedside, watched him closely, and glanced around. After all, although this room was a hospital ward, it was the most luxurious and elegant deluxe ward.
The area was large, with a resting area, bathroom, and kitchen totaling over two hundred square meters. Even their current ward was more than eighty square meters. Sunlight shone unobstructed through the window curtains, and the green plants exuded vibrant life, while the furnishings in the room were understated yet luxurious, indicating the patient’s important status and the family’s wealth.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s lips curved subtly.
Thomas broke the silence, his voice arrogant and rude, "Why aren’t you treating the patient?"
"When you perform surgery, can the patient’s family and other hospital doctors come in and watch?" Gu Qiaoqiao retorted unceremoniously.
Thomas was momentarily stunned. Of course, he knew it wasn’t allowed. What hospital would allow the patient’s family to watch a surgery nearby? It would be a joke. Even if other hospital doctors wanted to learn, they would need permission first.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t see a thing.
What is this young Chinese Medicine Doctor trying to do with her hands empty?
A trace of disdain flashed in Thomas’s eyes. He had heard from peers that these Chinese Medicine Doctors excel in sensationalism, deceit, and opportunism, so he didn’t refute Gu Qiaoqiao but snorted coldly.
Actually, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t need anything. She could now return the soul nurtured in the Protective Buddha Amulet to its rightful place and immediately wake Luo Ye up. Because even with the spiritual energy of the Gold Jade Stone and the Protective Buddha Amulet protecting him, if it goes on like this, his body’s functions will gradually deteriorate, and he will be bedridden even if he wakes up.
Moreover, his legs had undergone surgery.
However, all procedures needed to be done properly. Since she held the name of a Chinese Medicine Doctor, she must do what a Chinese Medicine Doctor should do.
Although unprepared, a small task like this would be a piece of cake for Qin Yize and Luo Fan. She looked at Qin Yize, her expression serious and earnest, "Ah Ze, you and Luo Fan, go back to the villa and bring my set of acupuncture Golden Needles."
Luo Fan was taken aback, while Qin Yize’s mouth turned up. He liked to see his little wife startling people with her mysterious behavior. Didn’t they see that Doctor Thomas, although still arrogant and proud, couldn’t hide the confusion in his eyes?
He looked at Grandpa Luo, "Grandpa Luo, Luo Fan and I will head back to the villa first."
Having experienced many battles, Elder Luo was naturally calm and composed at this point, "Go ahead. Be careful driving on the road."
Qin Yize and Luo Fan left the ward, while Gu Qianqian stood by Gu Qiaoqiao’s side. Su Ye remained silent, for here, besides the elders, was the most authoritative doctor and this young girl who brought her hope.
She had no skepticism; as long as someone said they could wake Luo Ye, she would believe whatever they said.
The room had sofas, a coffee table, and everything, so Gu Qianqian helped the elderly Grandpa Luo sit down on the sofa.
Su Ye then asked Gu Qiaoqiao and Gu Qianqian if they wanted coffee or tea, to which Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment, "Coffee, please."
The coffee here was the most authentic, with a rich aroma. It was somewhat bitter upon entering one’s mouth but offered an endless aftertaste.
Gu Qiaoqiao was never one to blindly admire foreign things, but she did enjoy the taste of coffee. However, Lian Yuhong once said that coffee was like drinking water made from highland barley roasted at home, which made Gu Qiaoqiao laugh so hard she almost spat out the coffee. Upon reflection, it really did taste similar.
Su Ye first washed her hands, then carefully and respectfully made a pot of ancient tree tea for Elder Luo. She also made coffee for the sisters and a cup for Doctor Thomas, since she was grateful for Doctor Thomas’s dedication over the years.
Now they waited for Qin Yize and Luo Fan to bring a set of acupuncture Golden Needles.
During this time, someone called Thomas, but he just quickly handled it at the door and returned, seemingly determined to remain in a standoff with Gu Qiaoqiao. Gu Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, knowing she would soon drive him out.
Elder Luo’s expression had much improved. During this time, he stood by Luo Ye’s sickbed, looking at him with deep guilt. If he had realized earlier how heartless the parents were, he would have driven them away, and perhaps this eldest grandson wouldn’t be in this state today.
Even if he wakes up today, who can make up for the five years that have passed?
Thinking about it made him hate Luo Ye’s parents even more. This time, he would thoroughly deal with those ungrateful and unkind individuals.
After Su Ye finished these tasks, her heart suddenly started to race for some reason. She sat on a chair on the side, her hands tightly clenched, with many emotions rising from her heart.
Anxiety, anticipation, and indescribable feelings spread throughout her heart. When she didn’t know this news, she could get through each day. But now, unbelievably, time seemed to drag on endlessly, or more appropriately, every second felt like a year.
