“Go to another hospital? This is the best one in this city. Where else do you want me to go?” the middle-aged man shouted.
“Go to the capital, where the medicine level is the highest in our country.” Senior Long wiped his hands, got up and was about to leave.
He had never seen such illness before—clearly not sick at all, but the patient just couldn’t wake up.
However, right at the moment he turned away, came a sneer behind him, “Well, well, the chief doctor is just so so.”
Senior Long turned around angrily, only to see Lin Qi looking him up and down with a contemptuous look, which made his cheeks burn.
“You are merely a security guard, you’d better mind your own business. Otherwise, I’ll let Director Jiang fire you.” there was a flicker of discomfort in Long’s eyes.
“What a knack for practicing fraud you have, just like your nephew, another good-for-nothing!” Lin Qi reviled.
“What did you say?” Having doctored for so many years, Senior Long had never been scolded by an inexperienced young lad like this, so Senior Long bawled, shaking with anger, “very good, if you can cure Miss Su, I’ll leave here right away!”
“It doesn’t matter to me whether you leave or not, but I can show you how Miss Su is going to wake up.” Lin Qi glanced at the middle-aged man and motioned him to hurry up.
The man gritted his teeth and went out to look for the cat and milk.
Under such circumstances, if Senior Long himself had no way out, he had to clutch at straws.
“A cat and milk can cure disease? It’s really ridiculous to slip!” Senior Long scorned instantly.
Liu Jiang-wei echoed him, “Senior Long is right. If he could cure the disease, I would streak in the hospital for three laps.”
“Well. Soon you will find that you are not qualified to be doctors at all.”
Saying this, Lin Qi glanced at Su Ming-yue lying in bed.
She was really the Young Missy of the Su family. Perfect by nature, her skin was as smooth as white jade; the closed eyes were lined with thick long black lashes. The simple but elegant dress outlined the beautiful curve of her upper body; her uncovering white and tender shanks inspired a lot of imagination.
But it was the cookie crumbs on her fingers that revealed something.
“Miss Su, you cannot get adequate nutrition by sneaking biscuits. Go to have something delicious after you wake up.” Lin Qi smiled. Su certainly had moved her finger.
After a while, the middle-aged man ran in, sweating, “Cat and milk, both are found.”
Lin Qi nodded, then he walked to Su Ming-yue, held her shank, and reached out to take her shoes off gently.
“What are you doing?” the middle-aged man asked, and his jaw dropped in amazement.
“Curing her. Don’t worry about it. Just believe in me.” Lin Qi said seriously.
“In my opinion, he clearly just wants to take advantage of Miss Su.” Liu Jiang-wei said with jealousy. This Missy Su was really a beauty. It would be worthy of his life if he could approach her.
Lin Qi turned a deaf ear to him. He took off Miss Su’s shoes to expose her delicate and small white feet, which made him unable to tear himself away from them. He was absent-minded for a moment.
Lin Qi took a deep breath and got the milk to pour it down on Su Ming-yue’s feet. Then he put the cat at her feet. The cat smelled the milk, so it stuck out its tongue and kept on lapping the milk from Miss Su’s feet.
Seeing this, Senior Long and Liu Jiang-wei showed their disdain of Lin Qi. They thought the brat had some tricks. So that’s what it was?
However, they both felt stunned at the next moment, for they seemed unable to believe what was happening in front of them.
With a ripple of silvery laughter, Su Ming-yue not only woke up immediately, but also hurriedly covered her feet, giggling and trembling all over, “Hehehe…, tee hee…, oh no! I can’t keep on feigning any more, it’s too itchy!”
What happened?
The middle-aged man was somewhat confused. So his miss really woke up in this way?
But upon hearing what Su Ming-yue said, he immediately became aware of the situation. Actually she wasn’t really sick, and she was just malingering.
As someone put it, “You can never wake up someone who pretends to sleep.”
“Well, Miss Su is awake. But don’t rush to feed her,” Lin Qi enjoined, “a little water and vitamin C at most.”
The man nodded repeatedly. He bought water and vitamin C right away and made Su Mingyue have them.
Liu Jiang-wei looked embarrassed but burst into a sudden laughter and said, “Lin Qi, you did a good job. In fact, we have long known that Miss Su was malingering. We just wanted to give you a test.”
Senior Long was negligent indeed. He beckoned Lin Qi, saying, “You can just follow me to study medicine, under my guidance from now on.”
“It’s the first time that I’ve seen such shameless people like you!” Lin Qi rebuked him in a harsh voice, “what someone said just now has been forgotten in a blink of an eye…”
Naturally he meant what Liu said about his streak and Senior Long’s departure from the hospital.
They had never thought that Lin Qi could really wake up the patient at all, not to mention that the approach he used was so simple. How could they save their face?
“Boy, I’m the chief doctor of Jinhai Hospital. It’s your honor to be under my guidance!” Senior Long thought to himself, “You know so many people didn’t even have such a chance!”
“You? You are far from qualified to teach me!” Lin Qi had one hundred and eight masters after the inheritance, whoever of them was not much better at medical skill than Senior Long?
“You’d better be judicious. Or else get out of here right now!” Senior Long pointed at the door and roared.
Lin Qi gave a sneer, took off his security uniform and slammed it heavily on the ground, “I’ve had enough of it here. I’m fucking quit!”
Saying this, he strode away.
“You…” Senior Long trembled with rage.
“Senior Long, you don’t have to mind this brat. Now Miss Su has already woken up.” Liu Jiang-wei took a glance at Su Ming-yue, with a fever pitch flashed through his eyes.
Su Ming-yue was not more than twenty years old, delicate and tender with the skin as white as snow. She was in the bloom of youth.
However, there was only anger left on Su Ming-yue’s face at the moment. She put on her shoes and scolded coldly, “Who on earth told you to wake me up?”
“Miss Su, we just do this for your own good…” Liu Jiang-wei said with a flattering smile.
“For my own good, you shouldn’t have woken me up then. Out you go! All of you!” Su Ming-yue upbraided in a cutesy voice.
“Umm…” Liu Jiang-wei felt tongue-tied and hastened to turn to Senior Long.
Senior Long came up and said, “Miss Su, you must have something you don’t want to face, otherwise you wouldn’t pretend to be ill.”
“It’s none of your business!” Su Mingyue faced away. In her eyes there were strong fluctuations of mood
“Anyway, it’s not good for your health if you keep on pretending to be ill, Miss Su. What’s more, you’re born frail.”
Just as Senior Long finished, there came a grumbling sound from Su Ming-yue’s stomach. She was hungry indeed.
Senior Long smiled and said to Liu Jiang-wei, “Go around and buy something for Miss Su to feed herself.”
The middle-aged man’s face changed, “Senior Long, previously the security guard warned my miss not to eat anything!”
“Humph, he was only an intern before. Are his words believable?” Senior Long shouted.
“Exactly. Now he’s not even a security guard at Jinhai Hospital. Hehe, I know a good seafood restaurant, Miss Su. I’ll go and buy some for you immediately.”
How could Liu Jiang-wei miss the opportunity to please Miss Su? He hurried to the nearby seafood town and packed a bunch of food.
Su Ming-yue snorted indifferently when she saw the food. But she was really hungry, so she picked up a crayfish and ate it.
She had eaten nothing for quite a few days, and the crayfish was indeed tasted good, eventually Su Ming-yue had most of the meal.
Yet in a short while, Su Ming-yue’s body suddenly went stiff, then her lips became purple, and she began to convulse and froth at the mouth. Finally she turned up the whites of her eyes and went into a coma, falling on the sickbed, motionless.
