Chapter 107: So Ugly
Translator: _Min_
Although Meng Zhi said that, Zhou Ci still had his doubts. Even though Gu Dai had shown him some impressive skills, this was a matter of life and death for his grandfather. He couldn’t let her take such a huge risk!
Gu Dai concentrated on her actions, knowing that every moment was crucial for saving Zhou Ye. She couldn’t afford to make a single mistake, as the consequences would be unthinkable.
Time ticked by, and Zhou Ci looked down at Zhou Ye, who lay on the ground without any sign of movement. His heart was racing with increasing anxiety.
In a moment when Meng Zhi was distracted, Zhou Ci broke free and rushed towards Gu Dai, yelling, “Gu Dai, stop! If anything happens to my grandfather, 1 won’t hesitate to hit you! If anything happens to him, I’ll see you at the police station!”
Zhou Ye coughed.
Zhou Ci, hearing the cough, momentarily froze in astonishment. He blinked in disbelief, but due to the momentum from his sprint towards Gu Dai, he continued to move forward.
Once he regained his composure, Zhou Ci tried to control his pace, but he was too excited and tripped over his feet, falling face-first onto the ground.
Zhou Ci tried to get up, but his legs gave way from the overwhelming emotions he felt. He eventually managed to crawl to Zhou Ye’s side and said, his voice filled with emotion, “Grandpa, you finally woke up.”
Zhou Ye could only hear Zhou Ci’s voice buzzing like a mosquito in his ear.
Annoyed, he furrowed his brows and opened his eyes to see Zhou Ci’s face swollen with tears and snot streaming down his face, close to his own. Even in his weakened state, Zhou Ye managed to say, “So ugly, get away from me.”
Zhou Ci was speechless.
Feeling as though his heart had been pummeled. Nevertheless, he quietly backed away.
Gu Dai, seeing Zhou Ye awake within her estimated timeframe, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, “Grandpa Zhou, you’re awake.”
Zhou Ye had been semi-conscious, and upon seeing Gu Dai, he felt an immense surge of gratitude. “Gu Dai, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have made it.”
Gu Dai quickly replied, “No, no, Grandpa Zhou, you’re exaggerating. But now, please close your eyes and rest for a bit. Once the doctors arrive, we’ll take you to the hospital for a thorough examination.”
Zhou Ye didn’t hesitate and closed his eyes immediately after he heard Gu Dai’s instruction.
Despite what Gu Dai said, Zhou Ye didn’t think it was an exaggeration. He had just felt the harrowing sensation of being on the brink of death.
Just then, someone shouted, “The doctors are here!”
A group of doctors and nurses in white lab coats rushed to Zhou Ye’s side, bringing out their emergency kits to assist him.
Upon hearing the commotion, Zhou Ye instinctively opened his eyes and said, “You’ve arrived.”
The doctors and nurses were stunned.
They had been informed that he was in a coma, but now he was awake and even greeted them.
Nevertheless, as medical professionals, they quickly composed themselves and started checking on Zhou Ye. A few minutes later, one of them said with relief, “It’s fortunate that the proper procedure was performed in time. If you had missed the short window for cardiac resuscitation, even a divine intervention wouldn’t have been able to save him.”
The doctor then ordered his team to lift Zhou Ye onto the stretcher.
Gu Dai approached the doctor and discussed the possible issues she had observed while checking Zhou Ye’s condition.
At first, the doctor thought Gu Dai was a family member, but as she continued using technical terms, he took her words more seriously, noting the issues down. He assured her, “Don’t worry, once we get to the hospital, we’ll focus on examining these areas.”
The doctor then asked Gu Dai, “Were you the one who performed the cardiac resuscitation on the elderly gentleman?”
Others had seen her performing the resuscitation, so Gu Dai didn’t try to hide it and replied, “Yes.”
When the doctor heard confirmation, his eyes lit up with admiration and perhaps a hint of reverence. “Your technique is impeccable, something I haven’t seen even after years of practicing medicine.. May I ask where you’re studying? Would you consider joining our hospital after graduation?”
