"Sister Rou, don’t worry, I just returned to Zhonghai, and can rush back quickly. First, tell about Xiao Xiao’s condition."
Yang Cheng suddenly stood up, speaking as he walked outside.
"Xiao Xiao is having trouble breathing now, and all her bodily trics are below normal standards. The doctor says she needs chemotherapy, but you previously said surgery and chemotherapy are not options for her, so I declined."
"Since yesterday, Xiao Xiao hasn’t been doing well. She woke up once, said a few words with difficulty, and fell asleep again. Her little face is flushed red, and I feel like she’s about to suffocate."
Yang Rou’s voice carried a sob. Watching her sister fight the illness tornted her heart deeply; she even wished she were the one on the hospital bed.
"I’ll head to the hospital imdiately, don’t let anyone touch Xiao Xiao."
Yang Cheng said seriously, having already put on his shoes by the ti he hung up the phone.
"Grandpa, Grandma, my sister’s condition is serious now. I need to go see her imdiately. I’ll co visit you once I’m done."
He waved to Xu Yicheng and Qin Shuhui and quickly pushed the door open and left.
Kong Lingwen wanted to say sothing, but he was already gone when she opened her mouth.
"Lin Wen, you should go with Xiaochen to the hospital, it wouldn’t be appropriate for you not to go since his sister is ill."
Qin Shuhui gently suggested.
"Yes, go ahead, don’t worry about us. We’ll go to bed after dinner; you can assist over there."
Xu Yicheng chid in supportively.
Kong Lingwen thought for a bit, quickly got up, put on her coat, and advised, "Make sure you don’t go outside, it’s unfamiliar here, and I’m afraid you might get lost."
"Go quickly; otherwise, Xiaochen will leave."
Xu Yicheng waved his hand with a smile, prompting Kong Lingwen to run outside.
Just as Yang Cheng was about to leave, Kong Lingwen caught up, panting, saying, "I’ll go with you, and I can check on Yang Rou."
"Are you sure you’re going like that?"
Yang Cheng pointed at Kong Lingwen’s outfit, showing a surprised expression.
Kong Lingwen looked down and realized she had been presenting herself in n’s attire before, but she got used to wearing won’s clothes lately and forgot about her identity.
Wearing this outfit to see Yang Rou’s family would certainly be shocking.
"What should I do? There’s no ti to go back and change, right?"
"Just wear it, put on a mask later and say you’re my partner, just visiting."
Yang Cheng was in a hurry, pulled Kong Lingwen into the car, and stomped the accelerator to speed away.
...
At the hospital.
Yang Rou watched over the bedside while Cheng Ruonan blocked the door, not allowing doctors to disturb.
"This is madness. The patient is in bad shape now. With proper treatnt, she could live several more years, but dragging it could be fatal at any mont!"
"The girl is so young; you can’t just watch her die to save on dical costs!"
Along with a few dical staff at the door, many onlookers gathered.
They all thought Yang Rou was unwilling to pay dical expenses, delaying treatnt since the doctor recomnded chemotherapy or surgery for Yang Xiao starting yesterday.
Regardless of the doctor’s advice, Yang Rou rejected it, even forbidding them to administer dication to Yang Xiao.
She didn’t distrust the doctors, but right now, only Yang Cheng could save Yang Xiao.
"Don’t be selfish, killing your sister for a fight over inheritance. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?"
"She looks pretty, but her heart is cruel!"
Listening to the surrounding accusations, tears filled Yang Rou’s eyes. She choked back, "Don’t say those things; it’s not about saving money. I’m waiting for soone."
"My brother is a very skilled doctor; he went to find dicine to save my sister. Once he returns, she’ll be saved."
As soon as she said that, people ridiculed even more.
"How old is your brother? Does he claim to cure cancer?"
"Girl, is your mind not right? Believing such things, the whole family is unreliable, treating life as a joke!"
Yang Rou realized arguing was futile, so she no longer explained.
Cheng Ruonan insisted on blocking the door; thus, they couldn’t break in, leading to a stalemate.
At that mont, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor, and a familiar voice called out, "Make way!"
"Xiaochen!"
Yang Rou’s eyes brightened instantly. She imdiately stood up and ran to the door.
"Sister Rou, I’m here."
Yang Cheng squeezed out from the crowd, hugging the frail Yang Rou tightly.
"I’ve only been gone a few days; how did you beco so thin?"
He lightly frowned, feeling Yang Rou’s waist was even thinner, seemingly breakable with slight force.
Yang Rou held onto his arm for stability, then urged, "I’m fine; you must check on Xiao Xiao quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, the heart-lung monitor’s wave pattern suddenly changed into a straight line.
Beep...
The piercing sound arrived, making Yang Rou shudder, and her legs gave way, nearly collapsing.
Yang Cheng promptly supported her, instructing Cheng Ruonan and Kong Lingwen, "Hold onto Sister Rou; I need to perform acupuncture on Xiao Xiao!"
They hurriedly supported Yang Rou together, seating her on a nearby chair.
"Xiao Xiao, hang in there; Xiaochen is back; you will be okay."
Tears flowed uncontrollably for Yang Rou, who clasped her hands and prayed desperately.
At this point, dical staff rushed in sternly, "Relatives, wait outside; we need to rescue the patient imdiately. Each minute you delay, the patient loses more hope."
"I’ll rescue her; don’t interrupt."
Yang Cheng was succinct, taking out several Silver Needles directly.
"This is not a place to practice dicine; it’s a matter of life and death, and you’re ddling senselessly!"
The leading male doctor rebuked, eager to drag Yang Cheng out.
"Ms. Ruonan, I need your help."
Yang Cheng had no ti to argue with the dical staff. Indeed, they ant well, but their techniques fell short compared to a cultivator’s acupuncture and True Qi prowess.
If he couldn’t revive Yang Xiao, these doctors certainly couldn’t.
After he spoke, Cheng Ruonan imdiately stepped forward, held the male doctor, and winked at him, smiling, "Handso, that’s his sister. Without enough assurance, why would he take such a risk?"
"If you don’t believe it, you can stay and watch. If the acupuncture revives the patient’s vital signs, what we do next won’t worry you."
Cheng Ruonan was so beautiful that several male doctors couldn’t look away as she spoke.
The doctors regained focus, wanting to stop them, but Cheng Ruonan blocked their path.
