Gu Dai returned home, contentedly enjoying her meal, having long since pushed the thoughts of Song Ling to the back of her mind.
The next morning, she received a call from Gu Yin. Gu Yin’s voice, frail and tearful, pleaded, “Cousin, save me, Dad hit me again… Ah!”
Gu Dai’s expression darkened, and she urgently responded, “Yinyin, I’m coming to find you right now. Find a safe place to hide in the meantime.”
After hanging up, she immediately contacted Chu Min, demanding the urgent preparation of a private plane. Chu Min, sensing the urgency in her voice, promptly agreed without questioning the reason.
Gu Dai also arranged for someone to locate Gu Yin’s real-time position.
Hours later, Gu Dai rushed into Chuancheng’s First Hospital.
A group of nurses were huddled together, lamenting in discussion.
“That poor little girl, beaten bloody by her father, with multiple fractures and severe head trauma…”
“Some people really aren’t fit to be parents!”
“I heard from Doctor Zhang that if she doesn’t wake up today, she might never wake up again…”
Upon hearing this, Gu Dai’s expression grew increasingly grim. Approaching the nurses, she inquired, “Excuse me, are you talking about a girl named Gu Yin?”
The nurses, taken aback, nodded and confirmed.
Gu Dai’s breathing quickened slightly as she anxiously asked, “Where is she now?”
The nurse inquired, “Are you a relative of the child?”
Gu Dai responded, “I’m her cousin. Please, take me to see her.”
Following the nurse into the ward, Gu Dai saw Gu Yin on the hospital bed, eyes closed, her body riddled with tubes. Pity filled her eyes, and she wished she could punish her uncle Wen Ye for this.
Dr. Zhang Li entered the room with several doctors.
Zhang Li explained, “Gu Yin’s condition is critical. She’s too young for a brain surgery, so I’ve decided to opt for conservative treatment with medication. What do you think?”
“That’s what I was thinking too, I agree with Dr. Zhang’s decision.”
“That’s a good plan.”
There were voices of agreement, but Gu Dai, frowning deeper, opposed, “I disagree with conservative treatment. We need to perform a brain surgery immediately for a cure.”
The doctors were taken aback by her assertive tone, especially when they saw Gu Dai.
Zhang Li, frowning and impatient, said, “Of course, a brain surgery can cure, but only if it’s successful. If it fails, the patient could die instantly.”
“The surgery is complex and difficult, with a very small chance of success. None of us are confident.”
Gu Dai firmly insisted, “A craniotomy must be done!”
Zhang Li’s irritation grew, his gaze towards Gu Dai filled with anger, “Didn’t you hear what I just said?”
Gu Dai, withdrawing her hand from Gu Yin’s wrist, softly said, “I heard. But Yinyin’s condition is critical, and conservative treatment won’t work. Only a craniotomy can save her.”
Continuing, she added, “If you’re not confident, I can perform the surgery.” Zhang Li scoffed, looking her over with disdain, “You? Really?”
The other doctors couldn’t help but speak up.
“You’re just in your twenties, you surely don’t grasp the difficulty of brain surgery.”
“The only one who could easily perform brain surgery is the Legendary Doctor Aurora. And, who are you?”
Gu Dai, with a calm gaze, declared, “I am Aurora.”
The doctors burst into laughter.
“That’s hilarious. You probably didn’t even know about Aurora until we mentioned her. How dare you impersonate her.”
Zhang Li smirked, “If you’re the Legendary Doctor, then I must be a deity!”
Gu Dai’s eyes darkened as her words turned more serious, “I am Aurora!”
“We have someone who’s met the Legendary Doctor. Let’s call the hospital director to verify,” Zhang Li ordered. Turning to Gu Dai, he said, “If you’re not the Legendary Doctor, you’ll apologize to me later.”
Gu Dai nodded, countering, “And if I am the Legendary Doctor, you’ll apologize to me.”
Thinking about the prospect of apologizing to a young girl, Zhang Li felt his pride at stake. However, seeing her youthful appearance, he was convinced she couldn’t possibly be the legendary doctor. Confident he wouldn’t lose this bet, Zhang Li relaxed and nodded in agreement, “Alright..”
