Chapter 114: Chapter 108 Zhan Qipei Learns the Truth
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing knew that a life was on the line, so she hastily hailed a taxi and rushed to the hospital.
Just twenty minutes earlier, Zhan Qipei had gone to the hospital to visit Zhan Yuanshan. As Zhan Yuanshan was chatting, he suddenly had an attack. The attending doctor was at a loss, turning the emergency room into chaos.
Zhan Qipei waited outside the emergency room, his face taut with tension, his heart burning with anxiety.
Shortly after, a nurse emerged from the emergency room, urgently shouting, “Call Doctor Qiao quickly! The patient can’t hold on much longer!”
Doctor Qiao?
Which Doctor Qiao?
Zhan Qipei felt he might have guessed who it was, but he could hardly believe it.
In the next ten minutes, Zhan Qipei was like an ant on a hot pan, worried about Zhan Yuanshan’s condition while having Doctor Qiao on his mind.
With a “ding” sound, the elevator arrived.
Has she come?!
Zhan Qipei’s urgent gaze was fixed on the elevator doors, waiting for the person soon to appear.
The doors slowly opened.
“Brother! How is Grandpa now?” Zhan Nanqing rushed out from the elevator, along with Zhan Nanqing were Zhan Yao and Su Manhan.
Zhan Qipei’s brows knotted as he looked towards the emergency room, “He’s being resuscitated.”
No sooner had Zhan Qipei finished speaking than the doors of the emergency room opened again, and the nurse’s face was red with urgency.
“Has Doctor Qiao arrived? If we wait any longer, it might be too late!”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Qipei and his family were instantly wound tight with tension.
Zhan Nanqing stomped her foot in urgency, “Who is this Doctor Qiao? Isn’t Grandpa’s attending physician surnamed Zhang? Have they switched primary physicians? This Doctor Qiao is being so irresponsible. How can they not stay on call at the hospital at all times, instead wandering off for a leisurely stroll?”
“Nanqing! Watch your language,” Zhan Yao scolded, “Doctors are people too. You can’t expect them to stay in the hospital day and night just because they’re doctors. They have families and their own lives. Besides, didn’t you see how anxious the nurse was to find Doctor Qiao? Obviously, this Doctor Qiao must be held in high esteem, with superb medical skills. Whether Grandpa can survive the night may all depend on Doctor Qiao. How can you speak ill of them behind their back?”
Zhan Nanqing pouted and looked down at her toes, “I wasn’t saying anything bad about Doctor Qiao, I’m just worried.”
Seeing her daughter looking wronged, Su Manhan spoke up for Zhan Nanqing, facing Zhan Yao, “Nanqing is just worried about her grandfather’s condition. It’s understandable that she might speak out of turn in her anxiety.”
“Exactly, I’m just too worried about Grandpa,” Zhan Nanqing found herself an excuse to step down.
Su Manhan shook her head at Zhan Nanqing, “You can’t speak so recklessly next time.”
“I know…” Zhan Nanqing muttered with pursed lips.
With another “ding,” the elevator reached the floor again.
“Is Doctor Qiao here?” Zhan Nanqing looked towards the elevator doors.
Zhan Qipei and the others also immediately looked towards the elevator doors, which slid open to reveal Qiao Jing’s familiar face.
“Qiao Jing? How come you’re here?” Zhan Nanqing looked at Zhan Qipei after speaking, “Brother, did you notify her to come?”
After Zhan Nanqing finished her sentence, she noticed that Zhan Qipei’s face was a mix of surprise, disbelief, joy, anger, and various other complex emotions.
What is this expression on her brother’s face?
Before Zhan Nanqing could figure it out, she saw the nurse running quickly towards Qiao Jing.
“Doctor Qiao, you’ve finally arrived! Hurry! There’s no time to lose!”
“Alright,” Qiao Jing responded as she took the white coat from the nurse’s hands, adeptly slipping into it while walking and putting on the gloves and mask with determined strides towards the emergency room.
Passing by Zhan Qipei, Qiao Jing’s delicate brows slightly furrowed, but only for a moment.
Saving lives was crucial; she had no time to deal with anything else now.
The emergency room doors closed after Qiao Jing entered.
Zhan Qipei stood with his back to the emergency room, the overhead lights casting on his face, falling on eyelashes longer and denser than a woman’s, casting large shadows that made his already deep eyes dark as night, inscrutable to the onlooker.
“Doctor Qiao? Her?!” Zhan Nanqing stared incredulously at the emergency room. She had been so shocked that she couldn’t speak; it took her a long while to make a sound.
At this moment, Su Manhan’s constantly changing expression of shock matched Zhan Nanqing’s perfectly.
Zhan Yao had harbored doubts about Qiao Jing’s identity in the past, suspecting that she was no ordinary person. Although he was also quite surprised now, he wasn’t as shocked as Zhan Nanqing and Su Manhan, who looked like their jaws could drop at any moment.
It took a full three minutes before Zhan Nanqing finally closed her mouth. “I heard from Zhan Ruiting before that Qiao Jing is a doctor, yes, but isn’t she a half-baked doctor? Why would they let Qiao Jing perform emergency treatment on grandfather?”
“Lu, Zi, Jiao!” These three words almost popped from between Zhan Qipei’s teeth, “You actually lied to me!”
A month ago, after he found out that Qiao Jing was a doctor, he was almost certain she was the person who saved him. But then Lu Zijiao told him that Qiao Jing was just a half-baked intern doctor.
If it wasn’t because he believed Lu Zijiao wouldn’t lie to him, he would have confirmed long ago that Qiao Jing was the girl who performed surgery on him!
Now—
He was certain, it was her!
Very well! Qiao Jing, you’ve lied to him for so long!
He will make you pay back double!
Half an hour passed, and the doors to the emergency room remained firmly shut.
Zhan Nanqing was so anxious she was jumping up and down, “Why haven’t they come out yet? This is maddening! Is Qiao Jing competent or not? Really! Why wait for Qiao Jing? Even if Qiao Jing is a good doctor, she’s just in her early twenties, does she have clinical experience? What’s going on with this hospital? It’s so irresponsible!”
The hospital’s dean rushed over upon hearing the news and arrived just in time to hear Zhan Nanqing’s words.
“If even Doctor Qiao can’t save him, there are hardly any others in the world who could.”
“I—” Faced with the dean’s stern look, Zhan Nanqing suddenly felt intimidated.
Of course, it wasn’t because the other person was the dean, but because she had just spoken ill of him behind his back.
As for the dean’s words, in Zhan Nanqing’s opinion, it was likely just something he said to maintain the image and reputation of the hospital’s doctors, so she didn’t take it seriously.
Su Manhan felt the same way.
However, Zhan Yao didn’t think so.
Zhan Yao fell into deep thought, carefully pondering the dean’s words; the more he thought, the more shocked he became.
Zhan Qipei was also considering the dean’s recent words, and at the same time, he remembered someone, the disciple of Divine Doctor Jing, Zhou Fu.
That day, when the three of them went out to have a meal, Zhou Fu, in his excitement, called out “Master” to Qiao Jing.
Later, Zhou Fu explained that it was because of Qiao Jing’s cooking skills, which made him ask Qiao Jing to be his master.
Because of this, his doubts were dispelled.
Now that he thought about it.
Heh… the truth is out!
Finally, the doors to the emergency room opened.
Zhan Yuanshan lay asleep on the gurney, eyes closed, looking not too bad.
Qiao Jing, in a white coat, came out with a group of doctors and nurses.
“Grandfather! Grandfather, how is my grandfather?” Zhan Nanqing urgently asked.
“His condition has stabilized,” Qiao Jing replied indifferently.
Zhan Nanqing, watching Qiao Jing’s extremely professional demeanor, opened her mouth, momentarily at a loss for words, unsure of what to say.
Similarly, Su Manhan looked at Qiao Jing with complex eyes, just like Zhan Nanqing, unsure what to say; in the end, she chose to remain silent.
Just as the atmosphere became awkwardly still, Zhan Qipei suddenly grabbed Qiao Jing by the wrist.
