"Quick, check the patient's vital signs!"
Soone suddenly ca to their senses and shouted.

The others, as if waking from a dream, imdiately busied themselves; they too had been stunned by the surprising scene before them.
However, after a few minutes had passed, a deep sense of dejection was evident on everyone's face.
"Just an hour or two left," one of them said.
"Probably not even an hour."
"I think half an hour might be about it, we should let their family see them for the last ti," another suggested urgently.
Following that, everyone shook their heads and walked out of the sickroom with a look of defeat.
"Doctor, how is my granddaughter?"
As soon as he saw the doctor co out, Old Master Lin imdiately approached him, his expression extrely tense.
"I'm sorry, we've done all we could," the doctor sighed, shaking his head.
"What do you an you've done all you could!" Zhang Xinlan's expression drastically changed as she lunged forward and grabbed the doctor, shouting.
Although they hadn't entered the sickroom, they had still observed the situation through the window; although they couldn't see Lin Ruoxue's condition clearly, they could clearly see that the doctors hadn't done anything.
"Yes, you must give us an explanation, otherwise our Lin Family won't let you off!"
Another mber of the Lin Family shouted.
"Everyone, listen to my explanation," said the doctor, knowing full well that the Lin Family wasn't just any insignificant household; they were quite reputed in all of Jiangnan, especially the woman on the sickbed, known as the number one beauty of Jiangnan, with countless admirers.
"The patient is undoubtedly poisoned, but the poison she has succumbed to is extrely peculiar! None of us have ever seen or even heard of it!" the doctor explained with a grimace.
"As you know, without identifying the specific poison, any reckless treatnt would only hasten the patient's death!"
In truth, the reason given by the doctor was only one aspect; another reason was self-preservation, just like he had said earlier. If the treatnt thod turned out to be wrong, they would have to bear the responsibility, possibly ruining their dical careers forever.
"Sorry, we truly are lacking in knowledge and ability," said the other specialists and professors, slightly bowing in apology.
"The patient doesn't have much ti left, you should hurry and see her for the last ti," they advised.
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Old Master Lin's eyes darkened and his body fell backwards with a loud "thud!"
"Father!"
"Old Master!"
...
Everyone was startled and rushed over at once.
The doctors, too, were shocked and imdiately moved forward to check on him; if sothing happened to Old Master Lin too, today could turn into a major disaster!
"Xinlan!"
Just then, another cry of alarm sounded.
Everyone turned their heads to see that Zhang Xinlan had also fainted, collapsing into Lin Wenqing's arms.
At that mont, the scene turned even more chaotic, with everyone scattering to attend to the two patients, leaving only Gu Ming and Xia Qiuru still standing at the entrance of the sickroom.
For a mont, it seed everyone else had forgotten Lin Ruoxue's existence...
Actually, there should have been at least one doctor accompanying her, at the very least to record the ti of the patient's death!
However, the consecutive fainting spells had thrown the situation into utter chaos, with no one managing to attend to this matter.
Moreover, in the subconscious minds of the mbers of the Lin Family, the doctor's earlier words had already announced Lin Ruoxue's death.
"Is President Lin truly beyond help?"
Although Lin Ruoxue could even be considered her rival in love, at this mont, Xia Qiuru's face still couldn't help but show a profound expression of sorrow.
"No, as long as Mr. Su arrives, there is still hope!"
Gu Ming said firmly.
......
anwhile, in a secret chamber of a mountain stronghold in the southwest of Huaxia, an old crone suddenly opened those cloudy eyes, releasing a terrifying glint!
"How could the spirit insect awaken prematurely? Who disturbed my spirit insect?!"
The old crone spat coldly.
In an instant, the half-dead crone, like a shadow, flashed out of the secret chamber and disappeared into the woods nearby the stronghold in just a few monts...
......
Su Chen raced down the roads, ignoring all traffic controls—he had only one thought in his mind, to go faster, even faster!
What was usually a journey of several hours, he had completed in just over two hours. Upon reaching the hospital entrance, he stopped the car and imdiately rushed in, heading straight for Lin Ruoxue's room.
"How is Ruoxue?"
Su Chen asked anxiously.
"The doctor said she's been poisoned severely, it's hopeless. The Lin Family patriarch and the mother of the Lin head fainted upon hearing the news; the doctor went to take care of them,"
Gu Ming said calmly, relieved to see his master had finally arrived.
In his view, as long as the master was here, there was hope for everything!
"What now?"
"I don't know, I've been standing guard here, haven't gone in to see, but the doctor said half an hour ago that it would be just a matter of one or two hours."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen felt a tightness in his chest.
"Su Chen, the Lin head she..."
Xia Qiuru said, sobbing as she saw Su Chen arrive.
"Don't worry, it's okay, I'll go check now."
Su Chen was sowhat surprised to see Xia Qiuru there, but he couldn't attend to her at the mont:
"You stay here; if anyone tries to break through, kill them on the spot!"
"Yes!"
As Xia Qiuru listened to their conversation, she was also shocked; how could they speak of killing as if it were as normal as eating or drinking?
Su Chen then pushed the door and entered, imdiately seeing the Ice Beauty on the bed; his heart felt as if it were struck by a heavy hamr, aching sharply!
Su Chen forced himself to calm down, then checked Lin Ruoxue's condition.
A mont later, he exhaled lightly, but his expression was extrely solemn!
He exhaled lightly because Lin Ruoxue was still alive, which was his greatest relief; as long as she was alive, there was hope!
However, he looked solemn because Lin Ruoxue's condition was very serious—she was nearly indistinguishable from a living corpse!
"Gu Ming, co in!"
Su Chen called out, and Gu Ming entered upon hearing him.
When he saw Lin Ruoxue on the bed, his body shook:
"How could this be?"
"What was Ruoxue's initial condition like?"
Su Chen had called Gu Ming in because he had said earlier that the doctors diagnosed it as poisoning, but Lin Ruoxue's current state didn't seem like poisoning at all!
"At first, the Lin head was purple with red hues and had so small spots; how could it turn into this?"
Gu Ming replied with a puzzled look.
"Alright, you go back out and keep watch!"
After Gu Ming left, Su Chen murmured:
"Could it be because of that 'seed' inside Ruoxue?"
