Chapter 63: Turbulence in the Ward
"Beautiful sister, then I'll go take a look at your grandfather's situation first." Xia Tian quickly agreed, such a good thing coming to his doorstep, how could he possibly not agree?
"Little pervert!" Sun Xinxin muttered.
"Let's hurry up!" Ye Mengying was anxious and pulled Xia Tian to run outside.
A black Audi was parked at the entrance of the flower shop, which was the same car that Xia Tian had taken when he first came down from the mountain. Ye Mengying pulled Xia Tian into the car and quickly started the engine, speeding away rapidly.
Several dozen minutes later, Ye Mengying brought Xia Tian to Sacred Heart Hospital, hastily parking the car and pulling Xia Tian along as they rushed inside. They had only taken a few steps when they ran into Ye Shaohuang coming from the opposite direction.
"Little sister, you really brought summer here?" Ye Shaohuang revealed a hint of a strange smile.
"Big brother, I'll take Xia Tian to see Grandpa first, let's talk about other things later." Ye Mengying spoke quickly and her feet moved even faster, almost running in.
Ye Shao Xiong hastened his pace and walked shoulder to shoulder with Xia Tian.
"When Gao Mingyang made his move on you, I just received the task. If you had called me at that time, I wouldn't have been able to answer either." Ye Shaohuang said in a low voice.
"I didn't make the call," Xia Tian said truthfully.
"Didn't I tell you to call me first if something came up?" Ye Shaohuang was originally a bit apologetic, but after Xia Tian said that, he became depressed.
"I can solve it faster myself." Xia Tian still being honest, said another true statement.
Ye Shao Xiong felt even more depressed, they obviously looked down on him.
"You're really capable, Gao Mingyang is now resentful of you to the point of gnashing his teeth, but he also doesn't dare to lay a hand on you." Ye Shaoxiong sighed, he had thought Xia Tian was quite capable before, but still didn't expect him to easily deal with Gao Mingyang.
"I actually wanted to get rid of him." Xia Tian said regretfully, "Keeping him will only bring trouble in the end."
Ye Shao Xiong couldn't help but shake his head. This kid still advocated for his violent methods, but he didn't say anything else because they had already arrived outside the hospital room.
As soon as he walked into the ward, Xia Tian found that there were a lot of people in this ward. There were more than a dozen men and women surrounding the bed, making it impossible to see who was lying on the bed.
"Summer, take a look at my grandfather's condition!" Ye Mengying squeezed open the two people and pulled Summer to the bedside. At this moment, Summer finally saw the patient lying on the bed, with white hair and beard, deep eye sockets, and extremely thin, truly skin and bones.
The old man lay quietly there, his eyes seemingly open, but he had no reaction to everything around him, and his consciousness was already unclear.
"Mengying, what are you doing? Where did you find this person?" a man in his fifties asked discontentedly.
"Second Uncle, it's summer, I've found a divine doctor." Ye Mengying didn't even lift her head. "Since the doctors at Sacred Heart Hospital can't cure Grandfather's illness, I had to go outside to find another doctor."
"This little kid is still a divine doctor?" The man was somewhat annoyed. "Meng Yuen, when did you become so muddled?"
"You're just a little kid!" Xia Tian glared fiercely at the man, he was a man now, even the fairy sister acknowledged him as a man, not a little kid!
"Hey kid, how dare you talk like that?" The man was furious, "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know!" Xia Tian rolled her eyes, "Don't bother me, or I'll beat you up!"
"Beat me?" The man's anger turned into a laugh. "I, Ye Zhiyi, have never tasted the experience of being beaten by someone. I don't believe..."
"Second Uncle, I advise you to stop talking," Ye Shao Xiong interrupted Ye Zhi Yi's words. "Otherwise, I believe you will get beaten for the first time in your life."
"Yè Shǎo Xióng, how dare you speak to your elders like that?" Yè Zhìyì shouted angrily.
"Second Uncle, I just hope you'll carefully read the name 'Summer' twice, and perhaps you'll know who he is," Ye Shaohuang said calmly.
"Isn't that just summer? I..." Ye Zhiyi let out a cold laugh, but suddenly thought of something and his expression changed in an instant. "What did you say? He's Summer? That Summer?"
"It's better if Second Uncle just wakes up." Ye Shaohuang smiled faintly, "Xiatian is currently seeing Grandfather for his illness, so it's best not to disturb Second Uncle for the time being."
Ye Zhiyi looked at Xia Tian, wanting to speak but hesitating, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
As for others, they are all silent at this moment, with a look of watching the show on the side, as for what they think in their hearts, only they themselves know.
The surroundings quieted down, and Xia Tian also reached out to hold the old man's withered wrist, starting to take his pulse.
Xiatian was originally very happy, he thought today was his lucky day, first Huang Haitao sent money to his door, then the beautiful sister sent people to his door, but after taking his pulse, he couldn't get excited anymore.
"What's wrong, Summer? Can you cure my grandfather's illness?" Ye Mengying saw that Summer's expression was a bit off and couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding, so she hastily asked.
Summer shook his head with a dejected look: "Can't."
Can't cure this old man's illness, the beautiful sister will not marry him, which makes Xia Tian very unhappy, but he can't do anything about it, this old man is indeed incurable.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mengying suddenly felt that her last hope had vanished. She stared blankly at her grandfather as two clear tears flowed out unknowingly.
"I thought you were a divine doctor, but it's all the same!" A soft hum came from beside me, and the speaker was a middle-aged woman who looked very wealthy, with a figure that must have weighed at least 200 pounds.
"It's true, the doctors at our Sacred Heart Hospital are all the best, they can't do anything about it, what can others do?" Someone next to her echoed in agreement, also a woman, looking like she was only in her thirties, quite attractive.
"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, are you both so eager for Grandfather to die?" Ye Mengying suddenly raised her head and glared at the two women angrily.
"Mengying, how can you talk like that? I'm telling you, don't spit blood at people!" The plump woman said displeased.
"It's just that I'm saying, Mengying, we are your aunties, you're being too unreasonable, aren't you?" The young woman also chimed in, seemingly the rich woman's echo.
"What are you thinking in your hearts? Everyone is clear!" Ye Mengying sneered, "Aren't you just hoping that Grandfather will die soon so you can divide the family property?"
"Mengying, don't talk nonsense!" A deep voice came from another middle-aged man.
Ye Mengying hummed and didn't say anything else. This man was her father, Ye Zhizhong. Although she had a bad relationship with her father, after all, he was still her father, so she couldn't bear to quarrel with him either.
Besides, Ye Mengying didn't have the mood to quarrel at this moment. After venting her dissatisfaction, she looked at Xia Tian again and asked somewhat reluctantly: "Xia Tian, really no way out?"
"Beautiful sister, I also want to cure him, but he's got illnesses all over his body. To be strict, it's not an illness, but rather that he's too old. Whether it's his meridians or bones, they're all severely aged. Wanting to cure him is equivalent to making him young again. Summer looked depressed, "I'm unable to cure him, I can only let him live half a year more."
Ye Mengying's mood had already hit rock bottom when Xia Tian said again that there was no way to cure her grandfather, but then she suddenly heard Xia Tian's next sentence, and for a moment, she felt like she had misheard.
"In the summer, you, what did you say? You said that it's possible to let Grandfather live for another half year?" Ye Mengying asked, trembling.
"Yes, although it can't be cured, extending one's life by half a year is still acceptable." Xia Tian nodded.
"It's great, it's great......" Ye Mengying suddenly had a feeling of going from hell to heaven. "Summer, hurry up and help Grandpa get treatment! Hurry up and wake Grandpa up!"
"Oh, okay." Seeing Ye Mengying so excited, Xia Tian's mood improved a bit, and he took out a silver needle, ready to start treating her.
"Wait a minute!" A deep voice came, and it was from Ye Zhiyi's mouth.
"What's going on?" Xia Tian looked at Ye Zhiyi with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Ye Zhiyi, however, ignored Xia Tian and instead glanced at the others before slowly saying, "Big Brother, Third Brother, do you really want to let someone with an unknown background treat Father's illness?"
"Second Uncle, what do you mean?" Ye Mengying was furious. "Now that someone is treating Grandfather's illness and can extend his life by half a year, you actually want to stop it?"
"Mengying, your second uncle didn't say not to let you treat Grandpa's illness, but this person is so young and of unknown origin. He says he can make Grandpa live for another half year, who knows if it's true or false?" The plump woman continued, "Now that Grandpa is still alive, what if this person ends up killing him instead? Who will take responsibility then?"
"Summer is what I invited, something happened, I will naturally take responsibility!" Ye Mengying said angrily.
"Mengying, even if you're willing to take responsibility, you can't just let anyone treat Lao Ye's illness." Ye Zhiyi grunted, "You say Xia Tian is a doctor, fine. Let him show me his medical license!"
"Second Uncle, are you really afraid that Grandfather will be cured?" The mocking voice rang out, and it was Ye Shaohuang who continued the conversation. "You've heard about Xia Tian's affairs and know his abilities. Now that he says he can make Grandfather live for another half year, you're getting scared, aren't you?"
"Shao Xiong, I don't know what you're talking about. This is Xia Tian's affair, and I'm also seeing him for the first time. If he has a medical license, then of course I'd be willing to let him treat Grandfather! Ye Zhiyi grunted, "If not, then please ask him to leave this sickroom!"
"Summer is the doctor I invited, you have no right to drive him away!" Ye Mengying said indignantly.
"Mengying, don't forget, I'm your second uncle!" Ye Zhiyi snorted, "How did this family end up with you in charge?"
"Hey, I'm telling you, you're really annoying!" Xia Tian finally couldn't bear it anymore, he glared at Ye Zhiyi discontentedly, "Do you know that your chattering is very noisy?"
