Bai Lian arrived at the hospital after ten o’clock.
She had already changed out of her school uniform and was wearing a white house dress, her face expressionless, ignoring everyone as she went with the nurse to have her blood drawn.
The nurse carefully inserted the needle into her arm, and the dark red blood climbed up the transparent tube.
Half-way through, the nurse was about to remove the needle.
Bai Lian’s arm was still on the table, the faintly visible greenish veins just beginning to show as she had kept her eyes downcast, she only then slightly lifted her gaze, revealing depths that were extrely deep and cold, and then spoke her first words, “Continue.”
The words seed to shatter into ice, one by one.
The nurse knew that drawing more blood would harm the donor’s body, but the look in Bai Lian’s eyes startled her, and she shakily drew two more tubes.
Finally, mustering her courage, she spoke up, “You really can’t draw any more.”
“Mm, thank you,” Bai Lian lowered her sleeve and stood up.
The call was urgent, Bai Lian hadn’t told Ji Heng, she had co alone.
Outside, Ji Shaojun was intermittently talking to Xu En about sothing, and when they saw Bai Lian co out, both involuntarily stopped their conversation.
“How is Auntie?” Bai Lian stood in front of Ji Shaojun, looking at the ergency room where resuscitation was underway.
Ji Shaojun was burying his head in his knees, silent, while Xu En stepped in to explain, “Your auntie accidentally fell down the stairs…”
“Stairs?” Bai Lian nodded.
Xu En made an affirming sound.
Bai Lian didn’t ask any more questions, nor did she know whether to believe him.
“Shen Qing’s family, where is Shen Qing’s family?” a nurse ca out from the ergency room holding a form, “Have you contacted the hospital? The patient needs to undergo craniotomy surgery as soon as possible, or there is a risk of evolving into a vegetative state…”
Ji Shaojun abruptly got to his feet.
Xu En quickly turned back, urging his assistant, “Have you contacted the young master?”
The assistant returned with the phone in hand, just as helpless in response to Xu En’s prodding, “The young master is also trying to find a way, but the director is not soone who can be approached by just anyone…”
“So what do we do now?” Ji Mulan was sowhat panicked.
Bai Lian, understanding the aning of vegetative state, lifted her eyes, more composed than anyone present, “Give the diagnosis.”
The nurse was taken aback.
She instinctively handed the diagnostic report to Bai Lian.
Bai Lian took it, glanced over it quickly, many of the technical terms she had never heard of, titanium sh implantation in the skull, cerebrospinal fluid leakage…
Without examining it closely, she simply took out her phone and snapped a few photos.
She opened WeChat and sent them to Lance.
Bai Lian: [Help look at this.]
After sending, she handed the diagnostic report back to the nurse.
Next to her, Xu En’s assistant looked at Bai Lian’s actions with surprise. Was she going to post it online for crowdfunding or ask for dical advice on Qiandu? The people from the Ji Family seed pretty unreliable.
Ji Shaojun wiped his face and, after signing the necessary docunts, looked at Bai Lian with a calmness that bordered on a whisper, “Alian, you still have school tomorrow, you should go back and rest. Don’t worry about your auntie, she’ll be alright.”
He almost muttered the words.
Xu En and the assistant moved aside to discuss affairs related to Jiangjing Hospital.
It was only then that Ji Mulan asked Ji Shaojun, “It wasn’t a fall down the stairs, was it? Why don’t you tell the truth to Xu En?”
“Yongfu Residential Area, it must have been that President Lu, I’ve already called the police, but there’s been no response,” Ji Shaojun tugged at his lips, looking at Ji Mulan with an expression that was both calm and crazed, “So… do you think Xu En would confront them? Or did you really think that with your relationship with him, he would be willing to antagonize soone with such a deep background for our sake? And then drag Dad and Alian into it too?!”
Ji Shaojun had long known that President Lu was not a good person.
But what he hadn’t expected was that Shen Qing would get caught up in it.
One Shen Qing was enough for him; he didn’t want to drag the whole Ji Family into this, calling Ji Mulan and Bai Lian was solely because of their blood type.
“What?” Ji Mulan’s mind was in a whirl, imdiately recalling the person Xu En had ntioned.
She stood still for a while.
Her heart was a ss.
It couldn’t be that President Lu, could it?
Jiangjing, Xu En’s family ho.
Mada Xu sat up from bed, draping a coat over her shoulders as she left the room, her cold gaze sweeping over the butler, “Xu En is confused, and so are you? Don’t you know that he’s currently focused on an experint at the Ma Institute? And you disturb him for such a trivial matter?!”
The butler lowered his head, a wry smile on his lips, “It was the sir’s request.”
“Xu En?” Mada Xu scoffed, “He’s gone mad over a woman, running off to a place like Xiangcheng, has he achieved anything remarkable? And now, he’s even interfering with his son’s critical future?”
