Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

The little girl froze on the spot after hearing Chen Ping's words.

Those red, swollen eyes were initially blank, and it took them a while to realize that their father had survived.

The pent-up fear and despair vanished in an instant, replaced by a sudden surge of ecstasy and grievance.

Her little mouth twitched, and she cried again, but this time, the crying was no longer desperate, but rather the relief of surviving a disaster, carrying the purest joy of a child.

She quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, her little hands rubbing her face haphazardly, making it all dirty, and bent down to pick up the bunch of daisies that had just fallen on the ground.

The flowers that she had been clutching tightly just moments before were now handed to Chen Ping without hesitation, held high in the air.

"Uncle, thank you! All the flowers are for you!"

These are the flowers she and her father are preparing to sell today; they are the most precious things she can offer right now.

Looking into the child's wet eyes, Chen Ping felt his heart melt.

He bent down slightly, gently took the small bouquet of flowers that was stained with tears, a little wilted but exceptionally clean, and used one hand to gently rub the little girl's head, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Thank you, baby."

As soon as he finished speaking, his head suddenly felt dizzy.

The patient lost 400 milliliters of blood, and under intense mental pressure for an hour, requiring him to stand throughout the entire resuscitation process.

Coupled with the fatigue from driving on the highway early in the morning and the back-and-forth travel, all the overdrawn physical reactions completely erupted at this moment.

The light in front of me suddenly went black, my vision blurred, my body swayed twice, and I was about to fall straight down.

"Chen Ping!"

Lin Xiaoran, who had been watching him closely, reacted quickly, rushing forward and firmly supporting his arm, bracing his swaying body.

It felt icy cold to the touch, and even through his clothes, I could feel how weak and exhausted he was.

Lin Xiaoran's brows furrowed instantly, her voice filled with worry: "What's wrong? Why is your face so pale!"

Dean Liu panicked for a moment and glanced at the surgeon.

The attending surgeon explained, "Dr. Chen just gave an emergency, free blood transfusion of 400 milliliters to save the patient, and led the resuscitation effort at a high intensity throughout. His body is severely exhausted, and he's only managed to hold on until now."

Everyone present was stunned by these words.

Dean Liu's expression immediately changed. "Nonsense! This is utter nonsense! Quickly, stop standing there and go rest! Arrange a rest room and give them glucose and fluids!"

Chen Ping leaned against Lin Xiaoran, and it took him a while for the dizziness to subside.

He took a slight breath, his voice weak, and his first thought was not to look at himself, but to look at Dean Liu.

"Dean Liu, putting everything else aside, this child has no one to take care of her. Please help by arranging for someone to look after her and not leave her alone."

Dean Liu nodded emphatically, "Don't worry, I'll arrange for social workers and nurses to take care of him immediately, and make sure he gets all the necessary food, drink, and rest."

"The hospital will handle everything from contacting the family and coordinating with rescue efforts. We will make sure the child is cared for. Don't worry about anything right now, just rest."

Only after hearing these words did Chen Ping finally feel completely at ease.

"I can just rest at the hotel; there's no need to go through the trouble at the hospital."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Xiaoran.

Lin Xiaoran nodded, helped him, and slowly walked out of the hospital.

After leaving the hospital, Chen Ping felt cold all over, his limbs were weak, and his feet felt light as if he were walking on cotton.

The weakness after blood loss is a kind of exhaustion that seeps into your very bones.

"Don't push yourself, I'll take you to rest."

Lin Xiaoran found a clean hotel nearby, booked a room, and carefully helped him to lie down on the bed.

After settling Chen Ping in, she went downstairs to a nearby restaurant and bought a light lunch of porridge and side dishes to nourish her stomach and replenish her body.

Chen Ping felt weak all over and didn't even have the strength to lift his hand. He could only lean against the headboard and rest with his eyes slightly closed.

Lin Xiaoran didn't mind at all. She held the porridge, blew on it to cool it down, and patiently fed him.

Halfway through the meal, Chen Ping's phone, which was placed beside his pillow, suddenly rang.

The screen lights up, and the caller ID reads: Cui Ying.

It's a video call.

Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and barely managed to take it.

The moment the video call connected, Cui Ying's gentle face appeared on the screen.

With just one glance, her sharp eyes immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The person, who was usually energetic, was now pale, with dark circles under his eyes, and his whole body exuded an undeniable weakness and exhaustion, looking extremely haggard.

Cui Ying frowned and immediately asked, "What's wrong? You look so pale. Are you sick? Or did something happen?"

Chen Ping forced a smile, not wanting her to worry from afar, and said softly, "It's nothing. I was just traveling a long way this morning and I'm a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."

His tone was calm, but the weakness on his face was impossible to hide.

Cui Ying didn't believe it at all, and her eyes grew more worried. Just as she was about to continue asking questions, Lin Xiaoran couldn't stand it anymore.

She didn't want to see Chen Ping stubbornly resist, nor did she want Cui Ying to worry, so she simply took the phone and said, "Cui Ying, let me tell you the truth, Chen Ping had 400 milliliters of blood drawn during an emergency rescue today."

"He was in intensive resuscitation for another hour, and his body was severely exhausted. He's extremely weak now. He was just trying to keep it from you so you wouldn't worry."

Cui Ying on the other end of the phone froze instantly, her eyes reddening immediately, her voice filled with heartache and anxiety: "How could you be so foolish! Even drawing blood to save someone shouldn't be this risky!"

"Are other people's lives precious, but my own life isn't?"

"It's not that serious, I'll be fine after a rest," Chen Ping said with a forced smile.

Whether it's serious or not isn't up to you to decide.

After Cui Ying finished speaking, she instructed Lin Xiaoran, "Xiaoran, please take good care of him and make sure he rests properly. Don't let him move around or push himself too hard."

"Tell me anytime if anything happens. If he doesn't listen, I'll take a taxi there right away."

"Don't worry, Cui Ying, I will definitely take good care of Chen Ping."

Lin Xiaoran smiled and said.

After a brief chat, not wanting to exhaust Chen Ping, the two quickly ended the video call.

After finishing lunch, Lin Xiaoran cleaned up the dishes and turned to look at Chen Ping, who was leaning against the headboard: "You should get some sleep and recover your energy. I don't need you to worry about me; I can manage on my own."

Chen Ping was indeed extremely tired, his whole body ached and he felt weak, and he couldn't even lift his eyelids.

He said softly, "Don't keep staying up like this. I don't need to watch over you. You should go and rest too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoran suddenly smiled and said, "There's only one room left in this hotel. It's a double bed, and it's quite big. We can make do for one night. I'll just lie down here and rest, so we won't bother each other."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping instantly panicked.

He was already weak and defenseless, and he was on edge, afraid that something embarrassing might happen after he fell asleep.

Upon hearing that Lin Xiaoran wanted to stay and share a bed with him, he instinctively sat up abruptly, his eyes flashing with panic.

Lin Xiaoran couldn't help but chuckle at his awkwardness and panic.

Seeing Chen Ping's tense expression, her smile deepened, and she waved her hand, saying, "Look how scared you are, I was just teasing you."

"How could I, a girl, possibly sleep in the same room as you? It would sound terrible if word got out."

"I already booked the room next door, but I couldn't bear to leave you here because you looked so weak."

After saying that, she picked up her small bag, turned around and walked out.

"You get some sleep, I'm resting next door. Call me anytime if you need anything."

The door closed gently.
