Chapter 69 Feeling Ashamed
Having practiced medicine for decades, he knew all too well that in such critical moments, every second could determine life or death, and it was no time to treat it lightly. In his view, letting a young man with no experience get involved was tantamount to hastening the patient's death.
Liu Zhenguo, intimidated by Lu Lang's imposing manner, quickly explained, "Mr. Lu, we tried to dissuade them, but the family insisted, and that young man was very adamant... We've already had the family sign a waiver, stating that the hospital will not be responsible for any accidents that may occur..."
"A disclaimer?!" Lu Lang was furious.
"That's shirking responsibility! The patient's life and safety cannot be covered up by a mere agreement; such outrageous behavior cannot be concealed! Open the door! Let me in and stop him!"
But just as his hand was about to touch the doorknob, a sudden thought flashed through Lu Lang's mind like lightning—a young man? In a situation where even a senior expert like Liu Zhenguo had given up on the project, a young man who dared to take on the task with such confidence?
In Jinling, the first thing that came to his mind was that figure...
That young man, Ye Heng, whom he would never forget, whose medical skills were divine, and who made him feel utterly ashamed—!
At that time, Su Changhong was critically ill. Lu Lang confidently took action, but almost made a big mistake. It was Ye Heng who turned the tide, not only saving Su Changhong, but also demonstrating a level of medical skill that Lu Lang could not match.
That scene was deeply imprinted in his heart; it was both a defeat and the beginning of shock and respect.
Lu Lang froze, turned his head and asked:
"Dr. Liu, tell me, is the young man inside surnamed Ye and named Ye Heng?"
Liu Zhenguo and Wang Mingyuan were both taken aback by Lu Lang's sudden change in attitude and accurate guess.
Liu Zhenguo nodded subconsciously: "Yes... I heard from the family that his name is Ye Heng. What, Mr. Lu, do you know him?"
Lu Lang slowly withdrew his hand that was about to push the door open, and even took a half step back, as if behind that door was some sacred and undisturbed domain.
"If it's Mr. Ye Heng inside... then no one should go in and disturb him! Immediately stop all questioning and obstruction! Xia Chen... might really be saved!"
These words resounded like a thunderclap in the corridor.
Mr. and Mrs. Xia looked up blankly, puzzled by this sudden turn of events.
Liu Zhenguo and Wang Mingyuan were dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief, as if they had heard a fairy tale.
The legendary doctor Lu... actually held that young man inside, whom they had scorned, in extremely high regard? He even called him "sir"? And said the patient could be saved?
Inside the operating room, they were completely unaware of the minor commotion happening outside.
Ye Heng's fingertip, with its wisp of pale golden true energy, finally slowly touched down and entered the Mingmen acupoint.
"Shennong's Mysterious Needle - Rekindling the Flame of Life!"
In an instant, centered on the Mingmen acupoint, a faint spark seemed to be forcibly ignited inside Xia Chen's cold body, and then spread rapidly along the channel that Ye Heng had already constructed with silver needles and true qi!
The automatic doors to the operating room slid open to both sides, and Ye Heng appeared in the doorway.
Xia Guoqiang was the first to stagger forward.
"Dr. Ye, how is my son Chen'er?"
Ye Heng exhaled softly, his tone steady.
"He's saved. His life is safe, and the most dangerous stage is over."
These words were like sunlight breaking through the dark clouds, instantly dispelling the shadow of death that had shrouded the Xia family's hearts.
Xia He suddenly covered her mouth, and large tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Really? My brother is alive?" she said, choking back tears.
Ye Heng looked at her, nodded, and gave her an approving look.
The next second, Xia He could no longer control herself and almost pounced on him, tightly hugging Ye Heng's waist with both arms, burying her face in his chest, and bursting into tears.
Ye Heng's body stiffened slightly; he could clearly feel the girl's vulnerability, dependence, and lingering fear in his arms.
He didn't push her away, but just stood there quietly, letting her vent her emotions. He hesitated for a moment, then gently patted her thin, trembling back.
The hug lasted for a while, until Xia He's sobs gradually turned into choked sobs, and she realized how bold and inappropriate her actions had been.
She abruptly released her grip like a startled rabbit, taking two steps back. Her face flushed crimson, and she avoided Ye Heng's gaze, her voice barely audible: "I'm sorry, Ye Heng, I was too excited..."
Ye Heng shook his head, indicating that it was alright.
He understands this feeling.
Lu Lang, unable to contain himself any longer, strode into the operating room first.
Liu Zhenguo and Wang Mingyuan exchanged a glance, then followed inside with a mixture of intense curiosity and trepidation. Xia Guoqiang and his wife, supporting each other, stumbled and followed closely behind.
Inside the operating room, under the bright operating lights, Xia Chen lay on the hospital bed. Although his face was still pale, the deathly ashen look from before had faded, and the bluish-purple tinge on his lips had also lightened considerably.
On the monitor screen next to me, the values of various vital signs have all returned from the red zone, which represents danger, to the green zone, which is normal or close to normal.
"A miracle...this is simply a medical miracle!" Dr. Wang Mingyuan exclaimed softly as he looked at the screen, his face filled with shock.
Liu Zhenguo stood by the bed.
This patient, whom he and his top team had determined was beyond saving and had one foot in the grave, was actually pulled back from the brink of death!
And in such a short time! His face burned. All the doubts, ridicule, and even the dark thoughts of secretly hoping that Ye Heng would fail to prove himself right had now turned into immense shame and embarrassment, burning his heart.
Lu Lang bent down and carefully examined Xia Chen's condition, even gently taking his pulse.
A moment later, he straightened up, turned to Ye Heng who had followed him in, and spoke with genuine admiration:
"Mr. Ye... Today, I have truly witnessed what it means to be brought back from the dead! Young friend Xia Chen's condition was extremely dangerous, his life was almost cut off, he suffered from intracranial congestion and organ failure..."
"To be honest, if it were me, even if I did everything in my power, I might only have a 30% chance of keeping him alive. And then I would need countless precious medicinal herbs and years of careful recuperation to barely restore some of his functions. It would be impossible for him to be like he is now..."
"I've been hailed as the number one divine doctor in Jinling City for over a decade, but there are always people more skilled than you, and there's always something beyond your reach. Your medical skills have reached a level of perfection that I can only dream of."
These words, spoken by the highly respected Lu Lang, carried immense weight.
The Xia Guoqiang couple were deeply shaken upon hearing this, and their gazes toward Ye Heng were no longer just filled with gratitude, but also with immense awe.
Tears streamed down Xia Guoqiang's face as he cried, "Dr. Ye! From now on, you will be the greatest benefactor of our Xia family for life! I... I kowtow to you!"
Ye Heng reacted quickly, grabbing Xia Guoqiang's arm to prevent him from kneeling down.
"Uncle Xia, you mustn't. Saving lives is a doctor's duty. Xia He and I are colleagues, so helping out is the right thing to do."
Just then, Li Xiulan, who was standing next to her, suddenly raised her hand.
"Snap"
"Snap"
Two crisp slaps landed hard on his face.
She used tremendous force, and her cheeks quickly swelled up, her eyes filled with tears of regret and self-loathing.
"I'm not human! I was so foolish! Dr. Ye! All those awful things I said before... I looked down on people! I'm a piece of trash! You saved Chen'er's life, and I still spoke to you like that... I... I deserve to die!"
She cried and berated herself while trying to raise her hand again.
Ye Heng frowned slightly, released Xia Guoqiang, stepped forward and grabbed Li Xiulan's wrist to stop her.
"Aunt Li, let's not bring up the past anymore. I understand that concern can cloud judgment. Now that Xia Chen is safe, that's more important than anything else."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiulan felt so ashamed that she wanted to disappear. She could only cover her face and sob.
