Chapter 54 – Sis, I’ve missed you so much

Lin Jichen walked through the corridor and arrived at the emergency department, ready to head straight to the gynecology department.

"Hurry! Take him to the emergency room! Call Dr. Huo, and prepare the operating room and ICU immediately. We must be quick!"

"Get the anesthesiology team ready right away!"

"Yes, Director."

"I'll go prepare the operating room now!"

A large group of people suddenly rushed into the emergency department, a crowd of doctors surrounding an elderly man lying on a stretcher, pushing their way inside.

The elderly man, dressed in a silk Tang suit, lay on the stretcher with a pale face, in great pain.

Beside the stretcher was a dignified and elegant woman, still retaining her charm, looking extremely anxious.

"Director Zheng, you must save my husband!"

"Don't worry, we'll do our best to save him! But you know about his condition; we didn't recommend his discharge in the first place. You need to be mentally prepared," the director said earnestly.

The woman's face turned pale, her expression filled with grief.

Suddenly, the elderly man on the stretcher spat out a mouthful of blood, his face listless and his breath faint.

"Dad! Dad, don't scare me," the woman cried out, unable to hold back her sorrow.

"The situation is critical. Quickly get an MRI and prepare for surgery," the director said gravely.

"Director, the patient's eyes are unfocused, and his pupils are dilated," a doctor reported.

Everyone's expressions turned grim. As top doctors, they knew what this meant.

The woman seemed to understand that the elderly man was beyond saving, and she wept uncontrollably, continuously calling out to her father.

Just as the atmosphere reached its lowest point, a young man suddenly approached the stretcher.

The doctors initially thought the young man was a family member of the elderly man and didn't stop him.

But then, the young man extended his hands and began to pat the elderly man's body, tapping on various acupoints, even on his head, with considerable force, making loud thumping sounds.

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening.

"Mrs. Chu, who is he?" the director asked, still confused, thinking that the family member was being too harsh, even torturing the dying man.

The woman looked up and, seeing the scene, immediately shouted angrily, "I don't know him! Stop him now!"

"Brat, how dare you insult the deceased! Get away!" The doctors, enraged, tried to pull him away.

"If you don't want him to die, don't touch me!" the young man said, his brow furrowed, not even looking up.

Everyone was stunned by his aura and, for some reason, didn't dare to move him.

The young man continued to tap on the elderly man's acupoints. Moments later, an astonishing scene unfolded.

The elderly man, who had been on the brink of death, began to show signs of revival. His breathing became evident, and his face regained color.

Gu Qiuxue also saw Lin Jichen standing not far away in the hospital corridor.

She froze for a second, then a thousand smiles of joy bloomed on her face.

Lin Jichen's lips curved into a bright smile.

"Sis!"

"Little Chen!"

Gu Qiuxue, overjoyed, turned into a fragrant breeze and the next moment was in Lin Jichen's arms, hugging him tightly.

Lin Jichen held her shoulders tightly, his arms trembling slightly.

It had been many years since they last met, and she looked exactly as he remembered, unchanged in the slightest.

"Sis, I've missed you so much."

Tears welled up in Lin Jichen's eyes as he couldn't help but hug her tighter.

Burying his head in Gu Qiuxue's hair, he inhaled the familiar scent of her jasmine fragrance, his heart unable to calm down.

"Little Chen, I've missed you too."

For the first time, Gu Qiuxue was embraced so passionately and closely by Lin Jichen. Her pretty face blushed, but she didn't feel the slightest bit of rejection, instead feeling secretly delighted.

The two of them hugging each other, a scene of deep affection, was witnessed by a passing male doctor.

The male doctor, about 1.7 meters tall, looked decent but paled in comparison to Lin Jichen. Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he had a scholarly appearance.

Seeing Gu Qiuxue in another man's arms, a fierce jealousy flashed in his eyes, though he quickly concealed it.

He walked up quickly, with a hint of mockery in his tone.

"Qiuxue, haven't seen you in a few days, and you've got a boyfriend? But even if you have a boyfriend, you shouldn't bring him to the gynecology department. Be mindful of the impression."

Interrupted, the two had to stop hugging.

"Dr. Zhang, this is my brother. He came to the hospital to see me," Gu Qiuxue explained, embarrassed.

When Zhang Guangwei heard that the man hugging Gu Qiuxue was her brother, his expression immediately became enthusiastic.

"Oh, I see. My mistake. Qiuxue, your brother is really handsome. Your family's genes are excellent," Zhang Guangwei praised.

Gu Qiuxue shook her head, smiling gently. "Little Chen isn't my biological brother; he's my cousin."

"Still related to your family. Aren't your cousin's parents and your parents siblings?" Zhang Guangwei laughed.

Gu Qiuxue shook her head again. "No, Little Chen and I are cousins, but our relationship is beyond the fifth degree of kinship, so we're not considered relatives."

Gu Qiuxue didn't know why she felt the need to explain her relationship with Lin Jichen, especially in front of her colleagues.

Hearing this, the smile on Zhang Guangwei's face quickly faded. To avoid losing control of his expression, he forced a laugh.

"Alright, you two chat. I have patients to see, so I'll be off."

With that, Zhang Guangwei turned and left the gynecology department. Before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at Lin Jichen.
