Ji Chengxuan raised his head and looked at the back of Yun Que'er not far ahead with a complex expression.
She trusted him so much. She had even just asked if he could save Yun Motan. Now, how could Ji Chengxuan explain to Yun Que'er that he might not be able to do it?
Ji Chengxuan suddenly frowned in pain. He thought of a patient he had saved before.
That patient had lung cancer and had been undergoing chemotherapy. His condition was well - controlled.
Later, after a surgery, his body had almost fully recovered.
Every time he came for a follow - up, Ji Chengxuan told him that he was in good health and that he could live to be a hundred years old if he continued like this.
However, Ji Chengxuan never expected that one day he would suddenly see that patient in the emergency room.
By the time Ji Chengxuan went in, the patient was already gone. His cancer had recurred and quickly spread throughout his body. Finally, he suffered from multiple organ failure and died on a sunny day in July.
It was very hot that day. Even with the air - conditioner on, Ji Chengxuan was sweating profusely.
But standing in front of the hospital bed, looking at the emaciated man, he felt a bone - chilling cold.
Ji Chengxuan considered himself a skilled doctor. He thought he could definitely cure that man's illness, but he witnessed his death right in front of him not long after.
After that, Ji Chengxuan applied for a transfer to another department. He even sank into decadence and silence for a long time until he got this system.
This system could give Ji Chengxuan great help. From the initial tentative use to the later proficient use, he always thought this system was very powerful. Finally, he didn't have to watch patients die in front of him anymore.
Now, history was about to repeat itself. Ji Chengxuan suddenly had an impulse to run away.
Didn't it say that it could cure anything? Didn't it say that as long as he had this system, Ji Chengxuan could become a great divine doctor?
Why... why was this happening?
Ji Chengxuan wanted to go crazy and scream, but he just stood there stupidly, watching Yun Que'er's back gradually move away.
He knew he couldn't collapse at this moment. He couldn't let Yun Que'er down.
But...
The weakness of his body spread to his heart. Ji Chengxuan slowly knelt on the ground and hugged his head in pain.
What if he really was powerless this time?
Yun Motan was sent into the emergency room. The light outside came on. The doctors were bustling inside, and the family members in the corridor were waiting impatiently.
Yun Fujin had been comforting his younger siblings. "It's okay, it's okay. Dad is a good man. He will surely be blessed. He will definitely get through this."
Yun Fujin was not only comforting his younger siblings but also himself.
But Yun Que'er could tell that Yun Fujin's voice was a bit trembling. In fact, he was very panicked inside.
Yun Fujin was just forcing himself to be calm because he had become the only pillar of the family now. Yun Que'er felt sorry for him.
After thinking for a while, Yun Que'er anxiously looked up at the door of the emergency room.
It had been a while since he went in. Why was there still no news? Whether the patient was dead or alive, they should at least give an answer.
She licked her lips repeatedly without even noticing the dryness and pain.
After a long time, Yun Que'er closed her eyes and prayed to the gods in her heart.
May Yun Motan be able to get through this disaster safely. No! Yun Motan would surely be safe.
Yun Que'er thought of Ji Chengxuan and turned her head to look for him. At this moment, Yun Que'er felt extremely helpless. Only when Ji Chengxuan was by her side did she feel a bit more confident.
But when she turned around, she found that Ji Chengxuan was not beside her. Didn't he say he would catch up after taking a rest? Why hadn't he come for so long?
Yun Que'er was worried that something had happened to Ji Chengxuan. She quickly informed Yun Fujin and then went out to look for Ji Chengxuan.
At the end of the corridor, Yun Que'er bumped into Ji Chengxuan head - on.
"Why are you squatting here alone?" Yun Que'er was surprised.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Ji Chengxuan squatting against the wall, hugging his knees, looking like a melancholy mushroom.
It was strange. This didn't seem like Ji Chengxuan at all. Could he be sad?
"Is something wrong?" Yun Que'er was already very panicked. Seeing Ji Chengxuan like this, she felt uneasy and quickly asked.
Ji Chengxuan slowly raised his head. "No, I'm just a bit tired."
Yun Que'er blinked and was amused by Ji Chengxuan. Her depressed mood improved a bit.
"Look at you. Weren't you good at walking before? Why can't you walk today?"
Ji Chengxuan didn't dare to let Yun Que'er notice anything, so he said,
"I even helped you push the cart. Have you forgotten?"
Yun Que'er was surprised. "I think you should exercise more. You always let us down at critical moments."
Yun Que'er said it without thinking, but Ji Chengxuan took it to heart.
This short sentence actually stabbed Ji Chengxuan's heart and made him feel stuffy in the chest.
After being in a daze for a long time, Ji Chengxuan stood up pretending to be calm.
"How is Mr. Yun? He should be okay, right?"
As soon as Ji Chengxuan asked, Yun Que'er's little face fell.
"There is still no news. What should I do? I'm so worried. Fortunately, you're here. Otherwise, I might be so anxious that I'd hit the wall."
Ji Chengxuan stood there stunned. Yun Que'er trusted him so much...
He had originally been thinking about whether to tell Yun Que'er the truth, but facing such Yun Que'er, Ji Chengxuan didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong with you again? You're so tired that you're in a daze?" Yun Que'er asked doubtfully.
Ji Chengxuan nodded. "Stop scolding me. You've finally got a hold on me and won't let go. Take me in and have a look."
Yun Que'er led Ji Chengxuan inside and stood in front of the emergency room.
There was still no good news from inside, and of course, no bad news either. Now, Yun Fujin had started to comfort everyone by saying that no news was the best news.
Just when everyone was feeling suspicious, the door of the emergency room was suddenly pushed open with a bang.
"Where are the family members? Who are the family members?"
The four siblings quickly stepped forward and said in unison,
"I am!"
"Who exactly?" The nurse was getting impatient.
"All of us. I'm his eldest son." Yun Fujin quickly explained. "Nurse, how is my dad?"
"The situation is not good." The nurse frowned and took out a form for Yun Fujin to sign. "This is a critical condition notice. The family members should be mentally prepared."
This short sentence left everyone standing there stunned.
Yun Que'er gasped.
How could this happen? They had been rescuing him for so long. Logically, he should have improved a lot. Why was a critical condition notice suddenly issued?
Yun Fujin also looked completely stunned. He simply couldn't believe what the nurse said.
It was not until the nurse urged, "Hurry up! What are you waiting for? Don't waste time!"
