Chapter 427: Chapter 426: Will You Marry Me (2)
Yuan Shi paused while putting on her coat. What could be happening at this time? Then, she said, "Come in."
The assistant pushed the door open and walked in, respectfully saying to Yuan Shi, "Dr. Yuan, Mr. Gu is here."
Gu Ningyi? Why is he at the hospital? Could he be sick?
Yuan Shi frowned, took off her coat that she had put on halfway, put on her doctor’s gown again, donned her stethoscope, and strode out of the office.
When she reached the emergency area, Yuan Shi glanced around and immediately saw that familiar figure. She hurried over, her eyes filled with urgency and concern, "Yi, what’s wrong with you? Are you ill?"
Gu Ningyi looked at Yuan Shi and shook his head, "I’m fine."
"Then..."
Yuan Shi was about to ask why he had come to the hospital, but then she glimpsed a slender figure lying on the emergency room bed, paused briefly, and then understood.
So it was Dong Xin Yan, no wonder...
Yuan Shi looked at Gu Ningyi, feeling a bit sour inside. Although after their last talk, she no longer held any hope, emotions are not something you can just let go of at will; she could only try to suppress her feelings.
She composed herself and turned to the on-duty doctor who was examining Dong Xin Yan, "Xiao Guo, what’s the situation with this patient?"
The on-duty doctor carefully examined Dong Xin Yan and replied, "Dr. Yuan, she’s not in serious trouble, just overemotional and caught a cold, which led to fainting. I gave her a sedative; she’ll be fine after a good rest."
Yuan Shi nodded and then turned to Gu Ningyi, her voice a bit stiff, "Did you hear that? Your beloved is alright, you can relax now. Don’t look at people with that unpleasant face; those who don’t know might think you’re sick too."
Gu Ningyi ignored Yuan Shi’s provocation; hearing the doctor’s words, he gradually eased the worry that had been gripping his heart. Just a moment ago, she had fainted in his arms while crying.
Her face was very pale, almost whiter than the snow all around, her long eyelashes gently closed, as if... even her breath had faded away.
Moreover, her body was cold and stiff, devoid of any warmth, as if she could just sleep on like this.
Fortunately, she’s fine.
Perhaps it was because of the intense stress earlier, now that it had suddenly eased, he felt a wave of dizziness, almost unable to stand, and stumbled slightly.
Startled, Yuan Shi quickly reached out to support him, "Yi, what’s wrong? Are you alright?"
Gu Ningyi only staggered for a moment and quickly regained his balance. He placed one hand on his forehead and gently pushed Yuan Shi’s hand away with the other, hoarsely saying, "I’m fine."
But how could Yuan Shi believe his words? His complexion was awful, his steps unstable, and he showed signs of dizziness. Not caring about the rest, she stood on tiptoe and suddenly reached out to feel Gu Ningyi’s forehead with the back of her hand. The burning heat startled her.
"Yi... you, you call this nothing? You’re running a fever!"
Yuan Shi widened her eyes in astonishment, reached out again to support Gu Ningyi, her voice involuntarily trembling, "Yi, quickly come over here and sit down, let me take a look at you."
Gu Ningyi furrowed his eyebrows, his dark eyes fixed on Dong Xin Yan, seemingly unconcerned about himself. Yuan Shi was both anxious and angry, scolding, "Rest assured, Xiao Guo gave her a shot and will send her to a ward. She’ll be fine, but you can’t say the same!"
