Capítulo 844: Chapter 569: Calling for Help
First watch of the night.
———-
“He’s not a gynecologist. What can he do?” Qiang Yuxian anxiously looked at Ye Zhonghe and shouted, “What are you still standing around for? Quickly take our daughter to the hospital!”
Ye Zhonghe remained unmoved and calmly looked at his wife, “Don’t you know your daughter’s temperament? Do you really think she’s uncomfortable?”
“Whether it’s true or not, we can’t take this lightly. She’s your biological daughter. If something really happens, you’ll regret it for life.” Qiang Yuxian said, reaching out to help Meiru, “Come on, mom will take you to the hospital.”
Ye Meiru resisted and shrunk back, “I’m not going to the hospital. Going to the hospital during the New Year’s brings bad luck for the whole year. I don’t want to go. Get Jing Zhe over here. He has expertise in gynecology too.”
Qiang Yuxian, believing now that Ye Meiru was faking illness, sighed and let go of her daughter’s hand, “Meiru, stop causing trouble.”
“How am I causing trouble?” Ye Meiru stared at Qiang Yuxian unsatisfied, “Mom, you don’t even believe me? You think I’m pretending? Fine, fine, fine. Anyway, I don’t find any meaning in living, so I’ll just wait to die. It’ll be two lives lost by then, as long as you don’t regret it.”
Listening to her daughter speak like this, Qiang Yuxian was somewhat uncertain again. She looked for help from Grandma Ye, who, except for her, was the one who loved her daughter the most in the family.
Although this granddaughter’s actions were disgraceful, past affections made Grandma Ye unable to ignore her. So she looked at Mrs. Zhang, “Go to the Song Family and invite Xiao Song over.”
She referred to Song Yanqi as Xiao Song, who is the niece of Song Xiaoyu.
“Just let me die. Other than Jing Zhe, I won’t let anyone else see me!” Ye Meiru wailed, clutching her stomach, “You all know Song Yanqi is Song Xiaoyu’s niece, and Song Xiaoyu is Lin Chuxia’s teacher. You’re inviting Song Yanqi over to treat me; isn’t it obvious you’re letting Lin Chuxia laugh at me? My misfortune is all caused by Lin Chuxia. Instead of letting her mock me, I’d rather die.”
“Ye Meiru, can you tell me why you want Jing Zhe to come?” Old Master Ye stared directly at her, “Is it appropriate for a man to see this kind of issue? Do you really have no sense of shame left?
Or do you really think Jing Zhe would come over? He refused plainly to have you as his assistant, which shows his attitude towards you. What exactly do you want others to do to allow you to find your proper place.”
“Grandpa…” Ye Meiru hunched over like a shrimp, “I truly didn’t mean to see Jing Zhe. He’s really versatile, not only good at internal medicine, but also skilled in surgery and gynecology. Huang Suai told me this himself.”
Seeing Ye Meiru looking increasingly flushed, beads of sweat forming on her nose, the doubtful crowd finally realized the seriousness of the issue. The once composed Ye Zhonghe rushed to his daughter’s side like a gust of wind and scooped her up, running outside.
“Dad, let me go. You’re trying to kill me!” Ye Meiru protested, flailing her arms and legs, “I said I only want Jing Zhe to come. I won’t accept anyone else!”
“Meiru, if you keep fussing, you’ll lose your life!” Considering his age, and with his adult daughter struggling so violently, Ye Zhonghe couldn’t hold her anymore and had no choice but to set her down for the time being.
“Dad, if you still want me as your daughter, then go and get Jing Zhe. This is my last chance. If it fails, it’s no big deal to die.”
“Meiru!” Following behind, Qiang Yuxian’s tears streamed down continuously, “Why are you so foolish? How can you joke about your own life!”
“Mom, I’ve said it. If it’s not Jing Zhe, I’d rather die.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll go get Jing Zhe.” Ye Zhonghe said as he hurriedly ran outside, “Big Brother, car keys!” Ye Zhongjun ran out after him, as the Jing Family didn’t live nearby. Running over there would be too late.
The Jing Family, being few in number, managed to wrap all the New Year’s dumplings within two hours and sat together chatting, only to hear a thunderous knocking on the door.
“Who could it be?” Jing Zhe frowned as he went to open the door. Before he could see who it was, his hand was grabbed and pulled outside, “Xiao Zhe, Uncle begs you, please come to our house quickly.”
“Uncle Ye, who’s sick?” Jing Zhe looked at him in confusion, “You have to tell me the illness so I know what tools to bring.”
No one wants to go to the hospital during New Year’s, so Jing Zhe wasn’t too surprised that Ye Zhonghe came to find him.
Jing Monian also came over, “Zhonghe, slow down and tell us, who’s sick? Do you want me to come along?”
“Big Brother Jing, no need for you to go. Xiao Zhe will be enough…” Ye Zhonghe anxiously looked at Jing Zhe, “Xiao Zhe, go quickly and get the medical kit, hurry.”
Jing Zhe sighed helplessly, “Uncle Ye, you still haven’t told me who’s sick and what the symptoms are. How could I know what tools to bring?”
“Bring everything, just bring everything.” Ye Zhonghe, afraid that revealing the patient as Ye Meiru would make Jing Zhe refuse to visit, kept vague and wouldn’t specify.
“Take them all with you, let your dad go with you.” Zhu Xinqin said as she pushed Jing Zhe, “Don’t waste time, it’s New Year’s, what are you dawdling for?”
With no other option, Jing Zhe had to go back to his room to get the medical kit. If it were any other time, without the other party saying it, he would never allow them to gloss over it like this, but today’s situation was special, so he chose not to make things difficult.
Ye Zhonghe looked at Zhu Xinqin gratefully, “Thank you, sister-in-law.”
“Alright, with the relationship between our two families, isn’t saying things like that just being too polite?” Zhu Xinqin waved her hand. “Besides, it’s New Year’s, who wants to move a doctor unless absolutely necessary, right?”
“Sigh!” Besides sighing, Ye Zhonghe didn’t know what else to say. He understood in his heart that once the truth came out, Zhu Xinqin might regret helping him.
But, that was his biological daughter; he couldn’t just watch her die, and he believed that Jing Zhe had his own ideas and principles and wouldn’t be manipulated by their unreasonable daughter.
Actually, his daughter’s intentions were understood by both him and his wife.
Without hope from Zhou Mikang, she turned her focus to Jing Zhe. Most critically, Jing Zhe was Lin Chuxia’s godbrother.
In other words, his daughter was using this method to disgust Lin Chuxia.
Even his wife, who always spoiled their daughter, didn’t approve of this behavior, believing she was acting foolishly without thinking. But the daughter was just being stubborn and wouldn’t listen to their advice.
Including the matter with Huang Baoquan, outsiders said that the daughter was naturally frivolous, which was why she did such a thing. Only he and his wife knew that their daughter was using that method to get back at herself.
Actually, in others’ eyes, the daughter who seemed frivolous and without boundaries was living in great contradiction. She regretted hurting Zhou Mikang in the past, so she kept trying to get back to him to make amends. Unfortunately, he no longer had any feelings for her, which made her, full of regret, grow resentful.
Because of her past harm to Zhou Mikang, she couldn’t bring herself to retaliate against him, so she used a method to torment herself, hoping to attract his attention in that way. Even if it was hate, it was still attention.
She realized that the person Zhou Mikang cared about most was Lin Chuxia, so she focused all her attention on Lin Chuxia, approaching her and the people around her, thinking that Zhou Mikang would definitely notice her this way.
What was the ultimate goal of doing this? Even she probably didn’t know.
One wrong step, then step by step wrong, as their daughter walked further down this erroneous path, didn’t they bear any responsibility at all?
Once, he thought that Old Master’s actions were correct, but after visiting the Zhou family and chatting with Lin Chuxia’s parents recently, he suddenly realized that while the daughter made mistakes, as her father and her mother’s husband, he couldn’t avoid responsibility either.
If they, like Lin Chuxia’s parents, didn’t offer criticism or spoiling when their daughter went astray but instead offered encouragement, would everything have been different?
Lost in his thoughts, he saw Jing Zhe coming out carrying a huge medical kit, and Ye Zhonghe hurried to reach out for it, “Uncle Ye, you lead the way, I can carry it myself.” Jing Zhe said while dodging a bit, preventing the other from touching the strap slung over his shoulder.
“Zhonghe, let’s go, carrying this kind of thing, Xiao Zhe has more experience than you.” Jing Monian said as he pushed Ye Zhonghe outward.
“Uncle Jing, Aunt Jing, Sister-in-law, I’m sorry.” Ye Zhonghe clasped his hands toward those in the room before turning and walking quickly outside. He really couldn’t afford to waste time.
Ye Zhonghe drove the car at a speed that could rival an airplane, reaching a place that would normally take about fifteen minutes in just eight.
The moment the car stopped, Jing Zhe quickly pushed open the door and rushed into the Ye family house, able to infer the seriousness of the patient’s condition from the speed at which Ye Zhonghe drove.
“Xiao Zhe, you finally came.” Qiang Yuxian, who was waiting at the door, looked at him joyfully before turning and running inside, “Meiru, Meiru, Xiao Zhe is here, just hold on a little longer, he’s coming in immediately!”
Jing Zhe abruptly halted. No wonder Ye Zhonghe was reluctant to say who was sick! If he had said it was Ye Meiru, he definitely would have declined.
He turned back to look at Ye Zhonghe, who was hastily following behind, his expression unfriendly.
“Xiao Zhe, I’m sorry, Uncle Ye has no choice, can you go in and take a look first, please?” Ye Zhonghe looked at him pleading, “Consider it as a favor for Uncle Ye, please!”
“What exactly is the illness?” Jing Zhe stood there and asked.
“Meiru said her stomach was aching and throbbing.”
“Uncle Ye, I’m a general practitioner, not a gynecologist. Isn’t this ridiculous?” Jing Zhe frowned tightly, “If you want her to be safe, take her to the hospital immediately!”
“She won’t go.” Ye Zhonghe was almost in tears, “Xiao Zhe, if there was any other way, I wouldn’t make things difficult for you. You grew up with Meiru, you know what temper she has, don’t you? I’m begging you, for the sake of her life, go in and take a look, please.” (To be continued.
