Healing Doctor

Chapter 549 Is the show over?

"Young man, you said there's a doctor here who can treat you?"

The woman's lips moved on the screen, and a lip-reading expert translated her words.

She was trying to distract Ji Xiang, but lacking experience, she hastily picked a topic that she herself was also interested in.

But as soon as he said that, anyone with a little life experience knew that Ji Xiang's "dissuasion" had taken effect.

"Director Li from the Interventional Radiology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital said it can be cured... although it's not 100% successful... but the probability is not low," Ji Xiang said, crying.

His head was slightly lowered, and although two film crews were shooting from different angles, some words were still missed.

Lip-reading experts are not gods; they cannot translate when they cannot see the lips.

As Ji Xiang spoke, he viciously finished his cigarette.

That cigarette was like his life; he inhaled it all the way to the filter, and that was when his life ended.

"How do you treat it? What is interventional radiology?" The female patient could sense Ji Xiang's despondency and his resolute determination, and asked impatiently.

Ji Xiang didn't speak, but looked up at the woman.

"Go ask him yourself." Ji Xiang wiped away his tears, took another deep drag, and finished his cigarette completely. He looked like he was about to jump off the building.

The woman was so frightened that her legs trembled and her face turned deathly pale.

She had now come out of that suicidal mindset, after all, Ji Xiang's words had given her a reason to live.

After finishing his cigarette, Ji Xiang stood up straight, holding the cigarette butt in his hand.

At this moment, Ji Xiang hesitated for a moment. It was obvious that he usually had good living habits and moral standards. Smoking in the hospital was already the worst thing he could do, and he was hesitating about what to do with the cigarette butt.

Even without being explicitly stated, the woman noticed this detail at a glance.

"Let me help you." The woman leaned against the fence and slowly approached, extending her hand.

"Thank you," Ji Xiang said, instinctively trying to force a smile, but his smile looked worse than a grimace, and tears streamed down his face again.

When Ji Xiang handed the cigarette butt to the woman, everyone was certain that he was about to jump off the building.

But in an instant, the woman grabbed Ji Xiang's wrist.

Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected the role to be switched in an instant.

"Young man, don't get agitated," the woman said urgently and earnestly. "Your girlfriend wouldn't want you to be like this either. Calm down, calm down."

"Let go!" Ji Xiang waved his arm, and the woman stumbled, almost falling.

"Damn it!" Director Liu almost had a heart attack when he saw this scene. His lips turned slightly blue and his hands started to tremble.

In the commentary room, even the lip-reading expert was startled, forgetting to translate what followed, and stared blankly at the screen.

Ji Xiang's action... seems a bit over the top.

If a female patient is accidentally knocked down, who is responsible?

Now that we've come this far, knowing when to stop is the best option.

The bald host, with a crooked mouth, quickly clicked pause to freeze the screen.

"Teacher Luo, it's alright, it's alright. This was recorded earlier, and the patient has already been saved," the bald host explained.

"I knew, but I was still startled." The lip reader smiled wryly. He picked up the bottle of purified water in front of him, twisted it a couple of times but couldn't open the cap.

A guest next to him unscrewed the bottle cap, and the lip reader took a sip of water without noticing that a drop of water had spilled.

"Isn't Dr. Ji Xiang's approach a bit radical?" a guest asked.

"I think it's alright," the bald host said with a crooked smile. "If you're going to put on an act, you might as well go all the way. Although the female patient was a bit confused by what Dr. Ji Xiang said, this kind of moment is quite dangerous."

"Any little thing, detail, or action could trigger her and lead her to choose more extreme methods. Simply put, once her mind short-circuites, all her previous efforts might be in vain. 'The last leg of a journey is the hardest,' and Dr. Ji Xiang is making a final push," the bald host said.

"But this is too scary," muttered a very young, popular male celebrity.

The bald host glanced at the popular young actor.

He's not even as good-looking as Ji Xiang, he's short, and his physique is terrible. What's wrong with the public's aesthetic these days? A thought flashed through the bald host's mind.

"That's not how it is." The lip reader steadied himself and stood next to the bald host to explain, "It's obvious that the female patient is of higher quality. If it were someone with even a slight desire to retaliate against society, they would have jumped right away. It would be best if they could kill two people. If everyone died together, no one would have a good time."

"That's right!" the bald host exclaimed. "From the previous details, we can see that the female patient's character is not bad. So now, although she still has doubts about the treatment, she doesn't dare to take risks and still wants to 'save' Ji Xiang first."

"The best hunters always appear as prey, is that it?" the popular young actor murmured.

"In short, Dr. Ji Xiang's slightly dangerous actions can actually dispel the female patient's concerns." The bald host suddenly stood up, walked to the screen, and pointed at Ji Xiang's hand.

"I don't know if everyone noticed this detail," the bald host said seriously, his mouth twitching. "Dr. Ji Xiang's foot was hooked on the railing, and although the hand held by the female patient wasn't gripping her hand tightly, it was poised to strike. I believe Dr. Ji Xiang was prepared; at the very least, he had considered some unexpected situations."

After being reminded by the bald host, most of the guests then noticed this.

"Was he prepared?"

"No way, could this be something the production team deliberately arranged?"

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The bald host glared at the guest.

"This was an accident. Director Fan and the film crew followed her for many days before they were able to film it. But whether it can be broadcast depends on the patient's own wishes. We hope she will agree."

The last sentence was clearly said that day, and even the bald host didn't know if the things he and the guests said would be broadcast.

Everything is still unknown.

Therefore, the doubts raised by some guests that the content was prepared by the production team are unfounded.

After a brief, lively discussion, the bald host regained control and resumed watching the recording.

The female patient turned her face slightly to the side and was talking to Ji Xiang.

The footage didn't capture the female patient's lips, and lip-reading experts couldn't translate or interpret it in its entirety.

However, several clips confirmed the earlier speculations of the bald host and the lip-reading expert.

The female patient's concerns had largely subsided, and she almost believed what Ji Xiang said.

She had hope, and the will to live was rekindled. She didn't even realize that her role had changed; she had gone from being the one being rescued to the one "rescuing" others.

The transition wasn't abrupt; everyone witnessed it, and most of the words were translated by lip-reading experts.

The outcome went smoothly, and Ji Xiang left the platform with the female patient after she "scolded" him.
