The adopted daughter was anxious and couldn't wait to see Doctor Zhou. She was afraid that something might go wrong. She turned to the waiter who was leading the way and asked him a question.

after all--

This is his son's only hope!

"Yes, Ms. Su, everyone has arrived."

The hotel had been booked out in advance by Mr. Yang, so the guests who came to the hotel today were all there to celebrate Mrs. Yang's birthday.

The adopted daughter glanced at her watch; the sun was almost setting. If she had arrived any later, everyone would probably have already left!

As they approached the back garden, the adopted daughter grew increasingly nervous. She looked up and gazed into the distance, searching for Doctor Zhou in the crowd.

She heard that Doctor Zhou was very young!

But after scanning the room, he didn't see any unfamiliar faces.

Remembering that the waiter said all the guests had arrived, the adopted daughter casually asked, "Is Doctor Zhou here too?"

The question about the adopted daughter was just a casual inquiry, but the waiter didn't expect that he actually knew about Doctor Zhou.

The adopted daughter was unaware that before she arrived, the bet between Doctor Zhou and the members of the Medical Association had caused quite a stir, and all the hotel staff had heard about it.

Therefore, after the adopted daughter casually asked, the waiter kindly pointed to the back of the man sitting in a corner of the corridor and said, "Yes, there is."

"Dr. Zhou has only been here for half an hour, and he's already sitting there."

Following the waiter's direction, the adopted daughter looked over and saw that the men were chatting in groups of three or five, while only Doctor Zhou sat there all alone.

So the adopted daughter didn't notice anyone there at first glance. If it weren't for the waiter's guidance, she wouldn't have imagined that the lonely figure was actually Doctor Zhou.

"Is he the legendary doctor Zhou?"

The adopted daughter was a little confused. Shouldn't Doctor Zhou be surrounded by admirers?

Why am I being ignored?

Did the medical association expose his lack of medical skills at the banquet?

The adopted daughter had no idea what had happened at the banquet, but seeing the scene before her, she felt that things had probably changed. She was about to go over and ask the lady she got along with.

But suddenly—

The doctor she had been longing to find, Dr. Zhou, turned half of his face to the side!

Zhou Yi's face was initially turned away from her, so the adopted daughter could only see his back and couldn't make out what the miracle doctor looked like. But as Mrs. Yang spoke to Zhou Yi, he turned his face towards her...

The adopted daughter's pupils suddenly widened!

She stared at Zhou Yi's familiar profile, as if she had seen a ghost, her eyes fixed on him, almost screaming in fright.

elder sister? !

The profile of that face looks so much like her older sister's!

Standing at a distance, she saw it and thought it was her older sister returning!

Suddenly, a chill ran down the spine of the adopted daughter, and her hair stood on end in fright: "He's the same Dr. Zhou who cured Mrs. Yang? How can he be so young?"

"How could she... look so much like her..."

The adopted daughter stopped in her tracks, not daring to take another step forward!

She already had a vague idea of ​​who this young doctor Zhou was.

There's only one person in this world who looks so much like my sister, and that's none other than her biological son! That damned bastard Zhou Yi!

The waiter had no idea what the adopted daughter was thinking. As a five-star hotel employee, his service was quite attentive, and he answered all the guests' questions.

Seeing the customer stop, the waiter stopped about half a shoulder's width behind the customer: "Yes, he looks very young, probably only in his twenties."

"I never expected that he would have such superb medical skills at such a young age."

"The people from the Medical Association just now..."

The adopted daughter could no longer hear what the waiter was saying; her eyes were fixed on the scene of Mrs. Yang talking to Zhou Yi.

It's clear that Mrs. Yang takes good care of Zhou Yi.

Even though everyone around Zhou Yi was deliberately avoiding him, Mrs. Yang would come over and talk to him from time to time, as if afraid that he would be neglected at the banquet.

'How could this be! It's him, it really is him!!!'

'The divine doctor Zhou I'm looking for, how could he possibly be this damned bastard!' The adopted daughter dug her nails into her flesh. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, she took a deep breath, suppressed the ruthlessness in her eyes, and turned to leave.

No, we can't alert them!

She couldn't let Zhou Yi know of her existence, or that the Qi family was his mother's family.

Although Zhou Yi lost his mother at a young age, it's hard to guarantee that his older sister didn't leave him a few words or a letter... Better safe than sorry.

Did Zhou Yi come to Kyoto just to treat Mrs. Yang's illness?

The adopted daughter didn't believe this. She thought about it more deeply: was Zhou Yi trying to use the Yang family's connections to get close to the Qi family and want to be recognized as a member of the Qi clan?

Or perhaps, Zhou Yi already knew the secret of his origins?

No!

Can't!

She would never stand by and watch something like that happen.

Seeing the adopted daughter turn to leave, the waiter hurriedly followed and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"

The adopted daughter knew that leaving the banquet abruptly would have a bad impact. She was already late, and now she left without even saying goodbye to Mrs. Yang, which would damage her reputation... But she really didn't want to see Zhou Yi's face!

The moment she saw his face, she was reminded of her deceased sister!

She would not allow anyone to ruin her plans, so her adopted daughter would cut off any possibility of Zhou Yi trying to curry favor with the Qi family, no matter the cost!

The adopted daughter clutched her chest, gritted her teeth, and said with a pale face, "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel a tightness in my chest, it's very uncomfortable, I might need to rest for a while."

The waiter was startled when he heard that.

Fearing something might happen to the guest at the hotel, he quickly helped his adopted daughter to rest against the wall at the back door of the hotel.

The back door is very close to the kitchen, and you can smell the cooking fumes coming from the kitchen while sitting here.

The adopted daughter's face darkened further. She thought the waiter was incredibly inconsiderate. She was already feeling unwell; couldn't he at least find her a private room to rest?

Little did they know, the waiter was trained in first aid. As soon as he saw the guest clutching his chest and saying he felt tightness, he guessed it was a heart problem and quickly found a place to rest on the spot.

"How are you feeling? Any better?"

Looking up, the waitress saw that her adopted daughter's face looked even worse than before, and she immediately panicked: "Sit still and don't move. I'll contact medical personnel for emergency treatment right away."

The adopted daughter snapped out of her daze, quickly grabbed the waiter, and said through gritted teeth, "I'm fine, I feel much better now."

She sat by the back door of the hotel, her view blocked by the hotel, unable to see the garden in the distance.

The adopted daughter smiled and pretended to be relaxed, indicating that she really didn't have any major problems.

At that moment, a rather overweight chef walked out of the kitchen.
