Chapter 93 - 93 Reason For Grandpa's Coma
93 Reason For Grandpa’s Coma
Qiao Yue hesitated for a moment before she said tentatively, “Grandpa.”
The fact that the old master was so happy to be called “Grandpa” made Qiao Yue wonder if he really was the head of the Qiao family who brought up the expressionless Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing walked up to the old master and said, “Grandpa, how do you feel now?”
Seeing his grandson, Old Master Qiao regained his serious look and nodded.
Qiao Yue finally witnessed the old master’s rapid change in expression.
After confirming that the old master was awake, Qiao Xuan went up to ask how he was feeling. He was preparing to operate on his grandfather, so he had to know his grandfather’s condition in advance.
Qiao Yue saw that the old master was surrounded by people and quietly left.
Lu Ying was waiting for her at the door. After seeing her come out, the two of them headed to the smoking area.
Qiao Yue did not smoke, but Lu Ying had the habit of smoking after acupuncture. Because acupuncture was a mentally exhausting treatment. Every acupoint on the human body was closely connected to the organs. Any mistakes would affect the patient’s life. So, smoking was the only thing that completely relaxed Lu Ying after.
Qiao Yue did not agree at first, but she got used to it after a few times.
Lu Ying lit a cigarette and smoke surrounded him. For a moment, his face was blurry.
“I inhale second-hand smoke every time I do a treatment with you,” Qiao Yue held a cigarette between her fingers but didn’t light it.
Lu Ying chuckled, “There must be time for relaxation after a battle. I’ll accompany you if you have any habits.”
Lu Ying felt that Qiao Yue was too self-disciplined. Her ability to adapt and manage stress had shocked Lu Ying several times. However, it was also because of this that Lu Ying was attracted to Qiao Yue.
But when he met Qiao Yue this time, he felt that she seemed different. He couldn’t tell exactly what had changed, but he felt that she had somehow become more human.
“I don’t have any habits. It’s just that instead of smoking, why don’t you run or box or something? I can still accompany you.” Qiao Yue took a sip of water and spoke.
Lu Ying chuckled, “You’ve said that many times.”
Qiao Yue raised her eyebrows. “But you never listened.”
Lu Ying took a puff of his cigarette and changed the subject. “Right, how’s life with the Qiao family? I think those people were trying to bully you today.”
“Bully me? Are you sure?” Qiao Yue replied with a smile.
“I very much think so. I think your second uncle and third aunt aren’t easy to deal with. Also, although the first madam Qiao didn’t say anything today, she looked at you with eyes full of hostility!” Lu Ying said with a hint of gloating.
He then teased, “Do you want to throw yourself into my arms and let me comfort you? ”
Qiao Yue instantly felt that the old Lu Ying had returned when she heard this. Lu Ying was like this when they were studying medicine together. Especially after finding out that she was a girl when he got worse. She gave Lu Ying two acupuncture needles when she couldn’t bear it anymore; only then did he show some restraint.
She really should have threatened him by sending him a video of his shaking hands when he was inserting needles.
“I’m very curious about how you managed to keep your cool and aloof image in front of other people.” Qiao Yue said expressionlessly.
“How can they compare to you? I can naturally be cool and aloof with them.”
Who would have thought that such sweet nothings would come from the cool and aloof Dr. Lu?
“So, you asked me out here to say this?” Qiao Yue asked, speechless.
“Of course not. It’s just that Old Master Qiao’s coma was really strange, so I wanted to get your opinion.” Lu Ying said seriously.
Old Master Qiao had been suffering from cerebral embolism and heart problems for a while, but these didn’t cause his coma. What’s more puzzling was that he couldn’t detect the reason for his unconsciousness from his pulse.
Qiao Yue lowered her eyes. She had a few guesses, but she couldn’t be sure. And she didn’t feel like sharing.
“I don’t have an opinion. We’ve been out for a long time, let’s go back! Someone might come looking for you.” Qiao Yue then got up and prepared to leave. Who knew that as soon as she got up, she felt dizzy. Her body swayed and she steadied herself by putting her hands on the coffee table.
As Qiao Yue and Lu Ying were sitting across from each other, when Qiao Yue’s unsteady body leaned forward and Lu Ying got up to help her, the distance between them closed.
