Chapter 1173: Chapter 1173: Love at First Sight (30)
“I didn’t say that.”
Yuk Jian immediately denied it, pressing his fingertips against his brow, gently rubbing it a few times.
Leaving her…
That thought had never crossed his mind; even knowing about her deal with Mother Yuk, he was only angry at Mother Yuk, not at her.
He liked this girl.
He wanted to love her with his life.
“That’s good then.” Otherwise I’d have to do something to you with this severely injured body, which wouldn’t be very harmonious.
Yuk Jian lowered his hand, suddenly raised his head, and asked word by word: “Do you need me?”
Yuk Jian’s deep gaze fixed closely on her, watching the girl on the other side nod without hesitation: “I need you.”
Warmth spread through Yuk Jian’s heart, his blood boiling as if rushing to the extremities, he murmured: “As long as you need me, I’ll always be by your side. If there comes a day when you no longer need me, I…”
Chuzheng bent slightly, pressing his hand: “I’ll need you until death.”
Yuk Jian looked at the fair, slender hand resting on the back of his hand, reversed his grip, and said in a low, hoarse voice: “Okay.”
In the Yuk Family, what they needed was not him, but a Young Master of the Yuk Family.
They didn’t actually need Yuk Jian, the person.
Many times, Yuk Jian couldn’t find the real meaning of his existence, just to help the Yuk Family climb higher, to serve as their external display tool?
He was fed up with such a life.
Even if… even if she bought him, so what, she needed him as a person.
Yuk Jian’s fingertip suddenly felt cool, and he snapped back, inexplicably finding a ring on his middle finger.
“For you.”
The girl opposite spoke with ease, as if she wasn’t giving a ring.
“Why… give me this?”
“I’ve already bought you.” It’s paid for, can’t waste it! “And you can just wear it.”
Chuzheng boldly pulled out a handful from her pocket: “You can wear a different one every month without repeating.”
Yuk Jian: “…”
Where did she wholesale these fakes from?
Later, Yuk Jian checked and found that all of hers were real, some were untraceable, all custom-made, with his initials.
People who give rings are seen often; people who give rings like this, rarely.
“Oh, are you engaged?”
Doctor Hou was the first to notice the ring on Yuk Jian’s hand, his expression surprised enough to swallow an egg.
“How long has it been, and you’re engaged?!”
“No.” Yuk Jian said.
“Then what’s the deal with the ring?”
“Just wearing it for fun.”
“…” Doctor Hou criticized: “You capitalists are all so extravagant?”
Yuk Jian: “…”
“By the way, about that specialization slot I mentioned last time, have you considered it?” Doctor Hou got serious: “Our hospital only has this one slot, and I think you’re the most suitable for it. I even probed the dean, who also wanted you to go.”
Yuk Jian touched the ring on his finger: “I’m not going.”
“Why not go? It’s such a great opportunity.” Doctor Hou was puzzled.
Yuk Jian opened the medical record on the table: “The specialization lasts two years… It’s too long, I can’t go, let someone else go.”
“Is it because of your little girlfriend?”
Yuk Jian didn’t say anything, and Doctor Hou sighed: “This opportunity is really rare, if you don’t go it’s truly a pity, and her condition requires you to continuously learn to treat her better!”
Doctor Hou urged Yuk Jian to go, even the dean spoke to him about it.
He asked him to seriously consider the opportunity, missing it this time, who knew when the next one would be.
Yuk Jian was somewhat tempted, but in the end, he still refused.
He couldn’t leave Chuzheng alone in the country.
–
Knock, knock.
“Come in.”
Yuk Jian was writing with his head down, thinking it was a nurse or some doctor, not looking up: “Is there something?”
After a moment of silence, Yuk Jian looked up and saw Chuzheng’s face, he was slightly stunned, throwing down his pen and standing up: “Why are you here?”
“Not feeling well.”
Yuk Jian frowned, asking nervously: “Where are you feeling unwell?”
Chuzheng pressed against her chest, Yuk Jian helped her sit: “How come you’re not feeling well? What did you do today?”
“I don’t know, just a bit stuffy.” She had just fallen asleep earlier and woke up like this, thinking it would pass, but it persisted, now she was feeling a bit breathless.
Yuk Jian hurriedly called a nurse in to get Chuzheng examined.
–
Yuk Jian got the exam results, after reading them, he found his hand trembling slightly, he took a small breath and dialed the family contact left by the hospital, calling Miss Lu Ailing.
“Hello?”
“Hello, I’m Mi Chuzheng’s attending doctor, Yuk Jian.”
It was noisy on Miss Lu Ailing’s side, she asked him to wait a moment, and a minute later it quieted down: “What’s the matter, Doctor Yuk?”
“If you have the time, I’d like to talk in person.”
“Has Xiao Chu’s condition worsened?” Miss Lu Ailing seemed to guess something.
“Yes.”
“Alright, I’ll make arrangements to be back immediately.”
Miss Lu Ailing hurried back that very evening, even though Yuk Jian wasn’t on night duty, he stayed at the hospital, fearing something might happen to Chuzheng.
When Lu Ailing arrived at the ward, she happened to see Yuk Jian holding Chuzheng’s hand beside her, her expression blank for a moment, then she called out: “Doctor Yuk…”
Yuk Jian didn’t feel the awkwardness of being caught by a parent, he naturally let go of Chuzheng’s hand: “She’s asleep, I’ll talk to you outside.”
Lu Ailing glanced at the person on the sickbed, nodded, and followed Yuk Jian out of the ward.
Yuk Jian took Lu Ailing to the office, once again reintroducing his identity: “I’m her attending doctor, and also her boyfriend.”
Lu Ailing let out a small ‘ah’, nodded after a while, showing no other emotions, more concerned about Chuzheng’s illness: “How is Xiao Chu’s condition?”
“Her situation isn’t good… I’ve discussed it with several doctors, the best course of action is to perform a heart transplant as soon as possible.”
“I know, but the hospital hasn’t informed us about a suitable donor for so long.”
Money wasn’t the problem, the heart was the biggest issue.
Donors are not easily available… Many needing heart transplants can’t wait long enough.
“I’ll find a way…” Yuk Jian’s voice was somewhat difficult, but he did not forget to comfort Lu Ailing: “Her current situation can still be stabilized, don’t worry too much.”
After talking with Yuk Jian, Lu Ailing confirmed that even though Chuzheng’s condition had worsened, it hadn’t reached the most severe stage yet.
In the end, Miss Lu Ailing remembered the original question: “When did you and Xiao Chu start dating?”
“It’s been a while.” Yuk Jian said: “Auntie, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her.”
“Ah…” Lu Ailing looked at Yuk Jian, then thought of that ungrateful Han Jing: “Since you’re Xiao Chu’s attending doctor, you should be aware of her condition and physical state. Auntie has no other requests, just hopes you won’t let Xiao Chu be heartbroken.”
