Chapter 244
The flash of light appeared and vanished in an instant.
It flickered through his sea of consciousness so fast that Chenyang had no time to tell which illustration it had come from.
’Was I just seeing things?’
Chenyang shook his head. Ever since the Rooster illustration corresponding to Qin Fei’Er had become perfectly clear, he hadn’t just gained X-ray vision—his perception had also increased severalfold.
The reason he had just diagnosed Lin Xiaoyue’s uncle’s condition simply by taking his pulse was due to this heightened perception.
And now, relying on that superhuman perception, he was certain that the flash of light had been no illusion.
At this thought, Chenyang looked over at Lin Xiaoyue.
The light had appeared the moment Lin Xiaoyue reached out and took hold of his arm.
’Could it be... that Lin Xiaoyue corresponds to one of the zodiac illustrations?’
’But didn’t I have to sleep with the woman corresponding to an illustration before it would react? How come this time it reacted when we just touched hands?’
Chenyang felt that the zodiac chart couldn’t be wrong.
It wasn’t some ordinary object that could be explained away by science or metaphysics.
At the same time, he didn’t think the flash of light was a coincidence. After all, each color of light corresponded to a different illustration, and each illustration corresponded to a specific woman.
The light had only been a brief flash, but it was a cyan color he had never seen before.
This meant the light hadn’t appeared for no reason.
If it wasn’t a mistake and it wasn’t a coincidence, then it had to be related to the catalyst for unlocking one of the illustrations.
Based on his previous experience, the only catalyst for unlocking an illustration was the corresponding woman herself!
That meant Lin Xiaoyue corresponded to one of the zodiac illustrations.
But this particular illustration must have some unique property that caused it to react to a simple touch!
At this thought, Chenyang’s heart began to race, and his gaze on Lin Xiaoyue grew heated.
So far, two of the twelve zodiac illustrations had reacted.
The Rooster illustration was linked to Qin Fei’Er, and the Monkey to Liu Yun—both of them were absolute knockouts.
One was a wealthy socialite, the other a high-ranking official.
And now there was Lin Xiaoyue, the woman for this unknown illustration. In terms of looks and figure, she was every bit as stunning as the other two.
And as for her status? A celebrity!
Getting to sleep with a celebrity was something practically every man on earth fantasized about.
But for ninety-nine percent of them, it would forever remain just a fantasy.
But Chenyang now had the chance to turn that fantasy into reality!
"Doctor, please show some self-respect!"
Chenyang’s stare sparked a flash of anger in Lin Xiaoyue, and she immediately snatched her hand back.
Chenyang said awkwardly, "Sorry, I spaced out for a moment."
Lin Xiaoyue suppressed her anger. "Spacing out doesn’t matter. What matters is whether or not you can cure my uncle. If you can’t, then say so now. Don’t waste time and delay his treatment."
Chenyang smiled. "I can. Your uncle’s condition is a bit complex, but treating it won’t be difficult. In a little while, I’ll..."
"Doctor Chen, watch what you say!"
The head of the surgery department suddenly cut Chenyang off, his expression displeased. "We can’t treat Mr. Lin’s condition. Stop making empty promises."
Chenyang raised an eyebrow. "And why can’t it be treated?"
"See for yourself."
As the head of surgery handed over the report, the head of internal medicine and the hospital’s vice president walked over.
The head of internal medicine spoke. "Your diagnosis was correct. Mr. Lin’s various symptoms are indeed caused by damage to the heart, and the location of the damage is, in fact, inside the heart itself."
As soon as he said this, those who had doubted Chenyang—some even thinking he was just a show-off—all felt as if they’d been slapped in the face.
"So Dr. Chen was actually right?"
"To diagnose an illness hidden that deep just by taking a pulse? That’s... that’s incredible, isn’t it?"
The head of internal medicine said gravely, "Dr. Chen, your medical skills are indeed far greater than we imagined. I would like to sincerely apologize for doubting and underestimating you earlier."
"However, diagnosing the problem doesn’t mean you can treat it. The damage to Mr. Lin’s heart is far more complex than any of us imagined."
After reading the report, Chenyang frowned. "Damage to an internal valve?"
"Correct. And it seems the damage isn’t recent. The left side of the valve has already started to distort."
Hearing the vice president, Lin Xiaoyue frowned. "Is this condition very difficult to treat?"
"Extremely. The difficulty is on par with a heart transplant!" The vice president paused before adding tactfully, "No one at the City Hospital can perform this kind of surgery. Even the doctors at the top provincial hospitals would likely struggle. If you want to find a solution, you could try your luck in Kyoto..."
