Chapter 1307: Trust Miss Huo

Huo Yao paused briefly. She extended her hand to pick up the bottle. When she saw the English text on it, she laughed softly.

He was smart enough to inject himself with cardiac stimulants.

She placed the glass vial back into his coat pocket.

…

The car pulled up at the back door of the Chinese medicine hospital.

Since it was already 8:00 pm, only the president and a surgeon were waiting for them there. No one else was going in and out of the hospital.

Chen Ming had already called the hospital and made arrangements an hour ago.

Before long, Huo Yulin got pushed into the emergency room.

Huo Yao followed behind him as well. This time, Huo Yulin’s condition was slightly worse. The only thing that could save him was the Shangguan clan’s special acupuncture technique.

This time, she only permitted the president to stay in the room while the rest of the people had to wait outside.

Lei Xiao did not leave right away. He also took a seat on the bench outside the emergency room and waited.

He felt very worried and guilty.

When he received a text message from Huo Yao, he went over to the National Academy of Medicine with his deputy director immediately. By the time he got there, it was too late and Huo Yulin had already gone into the operating theater.

He could only patiently wait for Huo Yulin to be done. Since he did not want to raise any suspicion, it was the only thing he could do.

Unfortunately, he was too late. Lei Xiao looked at the emergency room entrance as he leaned into the seat backrest.

When he got out of the car to help Huo Yao move Huo Yulin, he touched Huo Yulin’s pulse and felt nothing.

Since there was no pulse, it could only mean one thing.

Lei Xiao’s throat started to feel dry from worry.

Huo Yao did not outrightly come clean with Huo Yulin’s identity, but they were clearly related since they had the same surname.

Lei Xiao felt terrible. Why was he unable to help Huo Yao at all?

Chen Ming turned to look at Lei Xiao every now and then as they stood outside the emergency room. He knew Lei Xiao had helped to evacuate Young Master Yulin from the institute, so he was naturally grateful to him. When he saw the guilt on Lei Xiao’s face, he paused before going over to Lei Xiao.

“Thank you for saving him.” Chen Ming bowed to Lei Xiao.

Lei Xiao snapped out of his thoughts. He hurriedly stood up and smiled sadly. “Think nothing of it. I’m so sorry that I was not able to take him out in time.”

Chen Ming nodded politely. “Please don’t blame yourself. You were the best thing that happened.”

Lei Xiao had succeeded in taking Huo Yulin out of the institute without detection and even Chen Ming could not have pulled this off.

Lei Xiao glanced at Chen Ming. He parted his lips and did not know what to say.

The light outside the emergency room was still on, so there was still hope for the patient. He could not bring himself to tell Chen Ming that Huo Yulin had already flatlined when they got to the hospital.

Chen Ming seemed to read Lei Xiao’s mind. He tightened his fists as they hung from the sides of his body before he raised his head to look at the emergency room entrance. He said with confidence, “I have faith that Miss Huo can save him.”

Since she was able to do it previously, she could probably do it again.

Chen Ming believed in Huo Yao from the bottom of his heart unconditionally.

Lei Xiao paused briefly. He knew Huo Yao was well-versed in medicine, but he did not know exactly how proficient she was. No matter how good she was, the moment Huo Yulin lost his pulse, even Hua Tuo could not save him.

Lei Xiao said nothing and simply looked straight ahead.

People needed hope.

Just what if Huo Yao could perform a miracle, right?

Time passed second by second. When three hours were through, the light outside the emergency room finally went off.
