Lu Xuan arrived at the City First Hospital’s heart departnt inpatient unit, stepped out of the elevator, and approached the nurse at the guidance desk to ask how to get to the special ward of the heart departnt.
Seeing that Lu Xuan was young, the nurse thought he was a subordinate of the one in the special ward, "Are you a subordinate of that person?"
"I’m a doctor," Lu Xuan shook his head, but from the nurse’s words, he already discerned the patient staying in the special ward had an unusual identity.
"Here to attend the consultation for a patient in the special ward."
"Ah?"
The nurse was evidently surprised: "You’re the doctor here for consultation? Are you sure?"
"Do you think I need to lie to you?"
Although doubtful, the nurse still raised her hand and pointed at the special ward not far away, "There, that’s the one."
Looking in the direction the nurse pointed, the entrance to the special ward wasn’t crowded, but there were still at least twenty to thirty people gathered around. Even before approaching, Lu Xuan instantly felt a heavy atmosphere rapidly enveloping him, making him sowhat short of breath.
Especially at the entrance of the special ward, everyone was standing by with serious expressions, engaging in somber conversations, which quickly made Lu Xuan realize that the person in the special ward was probably not just anyone.
"Who exactly is staying in the special ward? Such a grand spectacle," Lu Xuan couldn’t help but ask.
"You’re not the consulting doctor, I can’t just tell you casually."
The nurse knew to keep these kinds of rules, whether it was soone in charge of health or just an ordinary person, she couldn’t divulge soone’s information freely, otherwise, if it really got out, she’d be in deep trouble.
The nurse was unwilling to share, and Lu Xuan didn’t press further. When Huang Beishan called him, he already sensed the urgency, and looking at the current situation, the person in the special ward likely held a very high status, possibly not just wealthy but within the bureaucratic system. Only within the system could cause such a big scene.
If it were an ordinary person, these nurses would have been gossiping by now.
But now, with the nurse tight-lipped, even looking secretive, apart from soone within the system, Lu Xuan couldn’t think of any other possibility.
However, as to who, he couldn’t guess.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Xuan approached the entrance of the special ward, but before even getting close, he was stopped: "This is a special ward, non-dical staff please do not approach."
At this point, Lu Xuan was even more certain.
"I’m Lu Xuan. Teacher Huang Beishan called a while ago to consult on a patient."
"Are you the Dr. Lu that Teacher Huang ntioned?"
After calling Lu Xuan, apparently, Huang Beishan and the others had ntioned him to the staff at the entrance. However, seeing Lu Xuan’s youthful appearance, the staff was sowhat doubtful.
"Wait a mont, I’ll ask."
"Alright."
Lu Xuan wasn’t in a rush and waited at the entrance.
Before long, the staff ca out, followed by Huang Beishan.
Upon seeing Lu Xuan, Huang Beishan quickly approached: "Lu, let’s skip the small talk. Co, let’s go in, and I’ll explain the situation of the person inside as we walk."
"Alright."
Lu Xuan agreed with a nod but then softly asked, "Teacher Huang, can you tell who exactly is inside? With such a big lineup, their status is probably significant, right?"
"You noticed?"
"If I couldn’t notice that, all my years of study would be in vain."
Huang Beishan smiled, his expression turning solemn: "Maybe I shouldn’t tell you, I’m afraid knowing might pressure you during treatnt."
"Better to know, so I have an idea."
Seeing Lu Xuan’s insistence, Huang Beishan no longer hid it and whispered, "The one in charge of the health system."
Lu Xuan was stunned and said, "Deputy mayor..."
Huang Beishan nodded.
Lu Xuan took a deep breath, no wonder it was such a big deal, it was that person, now it was clear.
"What’s wrong with that person?"
"Acute myocardial infarction, all the necessary dications have been given, but there’s no effect."
"Let’s not discuss this, go in and take a look first. What I say might affect your judgnt."
Lu Xuan nodded and followed Huang Beishan into the special ward.
The nurse who had been chatting with Lu Xuan earlier couldn’t help but gape in surprise as she saw Lu Xuan entering the special ward with Huang Beishan, "He really is a doctor for the consultation."
"But, he’s so young!"
...
Upon entering the ward, Lu Xuan realized what it ant to see sothing small overshadowed by sothing greater.
Though the atmosphere outside was serious, it was far from the heaviness inside the ward. In the deathly silent ward, aside from Zheng Xianjue and a chief physician conducting resuscitation, there was no sound or movent, making one instinctively want to hold their breath.
In the ward, Zheng Xianjue and the other had sweat drenching their foreheads, with a nurse next to them continuously wiping it away.
anwhile, as the person on the bed showed no signs of waking up, a hint of panic appeared in the eyes of others present.
There was even a trace of fear.
Lu Xuan followed Huang Beishan to the bedside and looked at Ji Huan lying there.
The face was blanched, lips cyanotic, indicative of heart issues, and also a sign of respiratory distress.
Besides, Ji Huan’s nails also appeared purplish-blue.
Sweat was dripping endlessly from his forehead, his breathing fast and labored.
A trace of horror lingered in his expression.
Lu Xuan’s arrival quickly caught the attention of the others.
All eyes turned towards him, and seeing Huang Beishan bringing in a young man in his twenties made Zhang Jiwei express surprise: "Old Huang, your student?"
