"Can't we even stay?" Yun Jianzhou asked in confusion.
"Go out. There must be a way. I promise." Yun Que'er pleaded, looking at Yun Jianzhou.
Yun Jianzhou recalled that Yun Que'er had always been mysterious before, and she had indeed helped the family a great deal. So he believed her and quickly pulled Yun Yi out.
Yun Que'er closed the door tightly and drew the curtains. After making sure no one would come in, she nervously looked at Ji Chengxuan.
"Now it's your turn."
Ji Chengxuan nodded seriously at Yun Que'er. Then he stepped forward and, under Yun Que'er's gaze, took Yun Motan's hand.
He slowly closed his eyes and directly chose the fourth - level reward.
Since his system had been upgraded, the fourth - level reward could almost bring a dying person back to life. When using the healing function, it would also burst out a huge amount of energy.
This was the first time Ji Chengxuan had used it after the system upgrade. He clearly felt a warm current, almost scalding, slowly surging out of his body and flowing into Yun Motan's body.
The place where their skins touched was faintly turning red. At the same time, Yun Motan's breathing gradually became steady.
Yun Que'er stared with wide eyes, looking in surprise.
Visibly, Yun Motan's complexion became ruddy. His lips were no longer chapped and purple, and even the blood oozing from his forehead faded a lot.
Finally, Ji Chengxuan opened his eyes. Yun Que'er rushed forward and grabbed Ji Chengxuan, asking anxiously,
"How's my father!"
"Don't talk for now." Ji Chengxuan put his index finger to his lips.
Yun Que'er quickly held her breath and anxiously watched Ji Chengxuan's movements without daring to interrupt.
Ji Chengxuan felt Yun Motan's pulse and checked his breathing.
Finally, Ji Chengxuan nodded at Yun Que'er.
"He's okay. His heartbeat is normal and his breathing is steady. But he's been injured after all and needs some time to recover."
Yun Que'er let out a huge sigh of relief. It didn't matter whether he needed to recover or not. The important thing was that Yun Motan had come back from the brink of death.
Tears welled up in her eyes belatedly, and she rushed out of the door.
"Dad is okay! Dad is okay!"
Ji Chengxuan followed Yun Que'er out. Looking at Yun Que'er's excitement, Ji Chengxuan felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
The regret that had been buried deep in his heart seemed to fade a lot at this moment. He had finally accomplished what he wanted most.
At this time, Yun Fujin and Old Doctor Ji, who had just gone to the courtyard gate to buy a coffin and were on their way back, heard Yun Que'er's shout. They were so shocked that they could hardly carry the coffin steadily. They just put it down casually and rushed up.
Yun Fujin tightly grabbed Yun Que'er's hand. "Is what you said true? Is Dad really okay? You're not delirious, are you!"
"No, really not! Big brother, go and have a look!"
Yun Fujin looked up and quickly rushed in with Yun Jianzhou and Yun Yi.
As soon as they went in, those outside heard Yun Fujin's choking sobs.
"Dad! You're finally awake!"
Instantly, there were whispers everywhere.
"Wasn't Teacher Yun about to die? Why did he suddenly wake up?"
"Maybe it's a flash of vitality!"
"No way. He was hardly breathing before. If it were a flash of vitality, it would have happened earlier. How could it wait until now?"
"My God! It seems the kids in his family weren't lying!"
Someone felt obviously guilty. "Let's go quickly. As soon as Yun Motan wakes up, someone might come after us. We didn't help at all back then!"
Everyone instantly realized this and hurriedly turned around and slipped away.
Yun Que'er watched their departing backs and sneered sarcastically.
Sure enough, they were all heartless people.
It seemed she had been too kind to them before. From now on, Yun Que'er would only look after herself. No matter what happened to others, she wouldn't care anymore.
Yun Que'er turned to look at Ji Chengxuan, grateful to the point of almost crying.
"Thank you so much. I really don't know what I would do without you!"
Ji Chengxuan reached out his hand and wiped away Yun Que'er's tears.
"Don't cry. Go in quickly and see your father."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Chengxuan coughed twice.
He felt a strong metallic taste in his throat, as if he was about to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Yun Que'er was startled. Suddenly, she remembered the system's warning to Ji Chengxuan, and her heart immediately hung in the air.
"Are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"I'm fine..." Ji Chengxuan waved his hand weakly.
But his pale face couldn't lie. It was paler than paper. How could he be okay!
"That's not okay!" Yun Que'er was extremely anxious. "I'll go in and call your father to check on you!"
Yun Que'er turned around and rushed in, but suddenly there was a thud behind her.
She turned around in shock and found that Ji Chengxuan had collapsed on the ground and fainted.
Yun Que'er let out a scream and rushed over.
"Ji Chengxuan, what's wrong with you? Wake up!"
The once - calm courtyard of the Yun family was in chaos again.
Old Doctor Ji rushed over upon hearing the news. After examining Ji Chengxuan, he was instantly shocked.
His heartbeat was very slow and so weak that it was almost imperceptible. His face and lips were getting paler and paler, as if he had lost a large amount of blood.
Old Doctor Ji was extremely panicked. The current symptoms of Ji Chengxuan were beyond his ability to handle. He quickly sent Ji Chengxuan to the town hospital.
Within a single day, Yun Que'er had come to the hospital twice, and each time her heart was in turmoil.
She anxiously paced back and forth in front of the emergency room.
Old Doctor Ji tried to comfort her first. "It's okay. He must have just been over - tired."
But even as he said this, Old Doctor Ji himself wasn't very confident. He was extremely afraid that something would happen to his only son.
His wife was still outside. If Ji Chengxuan really died, he wouldn't even get to see his mother for the last time.
Yun Que'er also gasped frequently. She knew that Ji Chengxuan was in this state because of her.
If she hadn't been so insistent on saving Yun Motan, Ji Chengxuan wouldn't have forced himself to break through the system's limitations.
The system had said there would definitely be harm, and it was irreversible.
She had sacrificed Ji Chengxuan's life in order to save Yun Motan!
Yun Que'er regretted it to the extreme. Even though she had wanted to save Yun Motan so much, she didn't want it to be at the cost of Ji Chengxuan's life.
Yun Que'er really wished that it was herself suffering at this moment!
The door of the emergency room opened, and the doctor walked out. He said to Old Doctor Ji in the same tone as when he had pronounced Yun Motan's condition.
"Your son has organ failure all over his body. I'm afraid we can't save him."
Old Doctor Ji stared with wide eyes and took two steps back.
"What... What do you mean by organ failure all over the body?"
"We're not sure either. His illness is very strange." The doctor frowned and explained to Old Doctor Ji. "It's like a person who has been starving for a long time and is about to die of hunger. He's severely dehydrated, and it has led to organ failure all over the body. I'm afraid there's no hope. You need to prepare yourself mentally in advance."
How could Old Doctor Ji prepare himself mentally!
His son had always been fine and had never gone hungry. Why would such a situation occur?
And as soon as the doctor finished speaking, Yun Que'er rushed into the emergency room.
"Come back!" The doctor turned around in shock and shouted sternly.
