Chapter 1309: Didn’t He Flatline?

Lei Xiao noticed that Huo Yao did not open her eyes even ten minutes later and her face remained ghastly pale, so he could not help feeling worried.

Her phone in her pocket happened to ring. Even though it was not particularly loud, it stood out since it was late at night and the corridor was quiet.

Since Huo Yao did not react, Lei Xiao pondered briefly before coming closer to her and calling out her name a few times.

She did not respond whatsoever and it seemed as though she was in deep sleep.

Lei Xiao felt that something was wrong, but Huo Yao was breathing normally, so she seemed completely fine. He could not help feeling puzzled.

After moving the patient to the hospital ward, the hospital president came back. When Lei Xiao saw him, he anxiously told the president about Huo Yao’s condition.

The hospital president glanced at Huo Yao. She had mentioned this when they were in the emergency room, so he replied. “She’s fine. She just over-exerted herself. She’ll be fine after resting for a couple of days.”

“Does this mean she’s fine?” Lei Xiao felt relieved.

“Uh huh. She’s going to be alright.” The hospital president hesitated briefly before nodding.

Lei Xiao finally felt relieved. He contemplated for a few seconds and then asked curiously. “I have a question. Didn’t the patient already stop breathing and was flatlining when he was moved into the emergency room?”

The hospital president was caught by surprise.

When the patient got to the hospital, things happened so quickly. Also, the young woman did not use any emergency apparatus to check the patient and simply employed her incredible acupuncture skills to save the patient.

The hospital president only had to clean the patient’s wounds. Also, he was very amazed by Huo Yao’s acupuncture skills and kept looking at her work, so he did not take note of anything else.

When he snapped out of his thoughts, the hospital president explained. “He might have stopped breathing and lost his pulse temporarily when he went into shock.”

The last time they performed surgery on the patient, the same thing occurred, but the young woman was able to save him using acupuncture. The hospital president was unsurprised when Lei Xiao was curious about the patient’s condition.

The patient had already gone into shock, but Huo Yao was able to save the patient previously. It made complete sense that she could do the same this time.

After all, he had never seen such an acupuncture technique in his life.

Lei Xiao noticed the hospital president seemed completely unsurprised. In hindsight, the hospital president was right. Such patients existed and the hospital president probably often encountered this in his line of work.

Lei Xiao’s curiosity instantly dissipated and he stopped probing.

Before long, the hospital president told a nurse to send Huo Yao inside the hospital ward. Since Chen Ming was around, Lei Xiao did not dare to linger in the hospital ward for long and quickly left the hospital.

He had to go back and think about how to handle his boss’s questions.

Even though he had taken Huo Yulin from the institute openly on the grounds of research, he had to ensure that no one got suspicious.

…

The next day, Huo Yao remained ghastly pale as she lay in bed quietly. From the looks of it, her condition had not improved ever since last night.

Chen Ming got the hospital president to examine her again. The hospital president concluded that everything was alright and there were no problems with her.

Even though the hospital president was equally puzzled, he recalled something the young woman mentioned last night and he shared it with Chen Ming.

Chen Ming finally felt relieved upon hearing what the hospital president said.

Young Master Yulin was lying next door and had yet to regain consciousness. If something happened to Miss Huo, he would shoot himself.

.After sending the hospital president away, Chen Ming continued to stay in the hospital ward. He also sent his subordinate to apply for leave from the university for Huo Yao.
