"My mind is made up. Don't make things difficult for Doctor Zhang... Liangcheng needs the soldiers to protect it, cough cough cough... The gods said they would save me, I won't die. You, you tell Doctor Zhang to go quickly, cough cough cough..."

Qin Yue Zhao suddenly coughed, the veins on her snow-white neck bulging, and her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

Seeing this, Zhang Mi refused to leave no matter what she said.

"Miss Wan'er, hurry up and brew the medicine. I'll give Her Highness a few acupuncture treatments to calm her down."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yue Zhao was about to object when a silver needle pierced her wrist with lightning speed. She immediately felt her eyelids become extremely heavy and drifted off to sleep.

In her dream, she seemed to be floating in the sky, and the surrounding scenery gradually became blurry and eerie. The original palace turned into high-rise buildings, and the stone carvings by the roadside turned into flower beds and lawns.

A black sedan sped along the wide asphalt road, with the god Chu Xiao sitting inside.

Before she could even call out to Chu Xiao, she was suddenly blown away by a gust of wind, and Chen Wan'er's anxious face gradually appeared before her eyes.

Chen Wan'er held her shoulders, pried open her jaw with a medicine spoon, and fed her a stream of black liquid into her mouth.

She immediately felt her tongue go numb from the bitterness, and although she wanted to vomit, she didn't have the strength. She could only let the medicine flow into her stomach, burning her stomach with pain.

She wondered if she was really going to die this time, which was why she saw the gods on her deathbed.

Chu Xiao drove to the First People's Hospital of the city and went straight to Zhao Anna's office.

"Dr. Zhao, is Dr. Zhao Anna here?"

I pushed open the office door, and it was quiet inside, as if no one was there.

Chu Xiao walked in, looked around, but didn't see anyone.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard a soft tapping sound coming from behind the partition door in the corner.

He quickly walked to the end, pushed open the partition door, and found that there was a rest room inside. Zhao Anna was sitting on the edge of a small bed, tapping the floor with her phone.

She clutched her heart with one hand and pounded her phone on the ground with the other. Her small face was deathly pale, veins bulged on the back of her thin hand, and her full breasts heaved violently, making her look extremely painful.

Upon seeing Chu Xiao, a glimmer of hope flashed in her bloodshot eyes. She quickly pointed to the corner and said with great difficulty, "The medicine...my...medicine..."

Chu Xiao looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a white plastic bottle lying in the corner, with a few small pills scattered on the ground.

Without thinking twice, he quickly picked up the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, and put it into Zhao Anna's mouth.

Zhao Anna swallowed the pills forcefully. After a long while, when she had recovered somewhat, she looked at Chu Xiao with gratitude in her eyes, as well as embarrassment and awkwardness as if her little secret had been discovered.

What are you doing here?

Chu Xiao sat down opposite her, leaned against the wall, and looked at her embarrassed appearance. He chuckled and said, "After all, I saved your life. You shouldn't be so cold to me, right?"

Zhao Anna struggled to sit up straight and said in a calm tone, "Don't think that just because you helped me, I have to be grateful to you. You're just taking advantage of my misfortune."

Chu Xiao wasn't angry. Instead, he asked, "This medicine is for treating heart disease. Do you have a heart condition?"

Zhao Anna looked at him, but neither refuted nor admitted it.

The atmosphere in the lounge became somewhat awkward for a moment. Finally, Chu Xiao stood up, pushed open the glass window, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm not mocking you, I'm just curious, as a renowned doctor, can't you even cure your own illness?"

Zhao Anna was somewhat disappointed.

“I was born with congenital heart defects and no one saved me. That’s why I’m studying medicine, so that one day I can find a way to cure myself.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh, no wonder you became a doctor, so that's why."

"..."

Zhao Anna didn't like being seen in such a vulnerable state, so she immediately changed the subject.
