Chapter 16 Going for Help

Lu Ze returned to the ward with a heavy heart and saw Su Qingyan sitting on the bed staring at him.

"I've been diagnosed with something wrong, but don't try to hide it from me with your facial expressions."

After being questioned by Su Qingyan, Lu Ze burst into tears instantly.

"Hey, don't cry first." Su Qingyan quickly got out of bed and walked to his side.

"Don't move. The doctor said you need to stay in bed and rest." Lu Ze hugged Su Qingyan and buried his head in his shoulder to wipe away his tears.

Lu Ze himself has a European frame and is half a head taller than Su Qingyan. Su Qingyan, who was exhausted all over, almost fell down under his pressure.

"Okay, okay, shouldn't you be the one comforting me now?" Su Qingyan patted his shoulder.

"They don't let me tell you, but I have to tell you. The doctor said you have liver damage, and if it's serious, you will have liver failure. None of the common causes are there. What on earth did you do?" Lu Ze sat with him on the hospital bed, looking at Su Qingyan's pale face and slightly sunken cheeks.

Su Qingyan thought for a while after hearing his words.

“Is it really that serious?”

Lu Ze nodded with red eyes.

"He Zhu asked me to ask you if you have taken any medicine that you shouldn't have."

"How is that possible? Am I the kind of person who makes trouble?" Su Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "Where are my skis?"

"It's already this late and you're still thinking about snowboarding?" Lu Ze didn't expect him to be so love-brained.

"He Zhu is outside, call him in, and then take the skis to Doctor Zhou."

Lu Ze was assigned a task and set off immediately. When the assistant saw him leave with red eyes, he knew that Su Qingyan must have known about it.

"Mr. Su." The assistant walked into the ward nervously.

"Why did you hide it from me? Is there any point?"

"Mr. Su—"

"Don't use Mr. Su to put me off. Call a lawyer. I need to make a will."

"Mr. Su, it's not... it's not that serious."

"Will it be considered serious only when I'm in the ICU and can't speak?"

Su Qingyan glared at the assistant, and he obediently shut up and contacted a lawyer.

It was only after Lu Ze left the hospital gate that he realized that he was unfamiliar with the place. Su Qingyan must have wanted to get rid of him and asked him to deliver the skis. He prayed silently in his heart that Su Qingyan would not get into trouble.

Upon arriving at the First Affiliated Hospital's inpatient department, a volunteer immediately approached him in English, asking if he needed any help. Lu Ze responded in English, and his facial recognition system allowed him to pass through smoothly to General Surgery Ward 2. The nurse noticed a handsome foreign man and was about to switch languages when Lu Ze, speaking authentic Mandarin, asked where Zhou Cheng was. The volunteer turned away, speechless, unsure of what he had been up to.

The shock that Mr. Su had caused the department a few days ago was still lingering, and today a handsome foreigner showed up again, surprisingly looking for Zhou Cheng. The nurses had already started whispering. Lu Ze was taken to the doctor's office by a nurse. Zhou Cheng was off night shift today and, unusually, had no surgery scheduled. He had just finished his ward rounds and was about to change a patient's dressing.

"Zhou Cheng." Lu Ze walked into the office and saw Zhou Cheng at a glance, and then he understood why Su Qingyan was so obsessed with him.

Zhou Cheng is tall and although he wears a mask, it cannot conceal his powerful aura.

Zhou Cheng looked at Lu Ze with some confusion. These past few days without Su Qingyan's harassment had given him a rare peace and quiet. He thought the young master had had enough fun and was looking for his next target.

"Su Qingyan asked me to come find you."

Lu Ze obviously didn't realize that everyone else in the office had stopped what they were doing and was looking at them silently.

"Go outside and talk." Zhou Cheng felt a headache the moment he heard Su Qingyan's name. After assigning the task of changing the dressing to the students, he brought Lu Ze to the duty room.

"Who are you?" Zhou Cheng took off his mask, his brows deep and his eyes sharp. After asking, he pursed his lips, and his seriousness made Lu Ze a little timid.

"He asked me to give this to you." Lu Ze handed the bag he was carrying to Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng took it and took it out.

"What does he mean?" After seeing the signature on the skateboard, Zhou Cheng's already frowned brows tightened even more.

"What do you mean? He ran to the snowy mountains of Europe to get your autograph while he was sick, and you just asked what it meant?" Lu Ze clenched his fists in anger when he saw his reaction.

"Then what?" Zhou Cheng's heart tightened slightly when he heard that Su Qingyan was still sick, and he continued to ask.

Seeing his nonchalant and calm demeanor, Lu Ze's eyes instantly became sore when he thought of Su Qingyan still lying haggard on the hospital bed.

"Then he fell ill and is now in the hospital, his life is uncertain."

"Life or death is uncertain" Zhou Cheng doubted whether this foreigner could speak Chinese.

"The doctor said he's about to suffer liver failure." Lu Ze looked at Zhou Cheng's questioning expression, and his mental score for Zhou Cheng instantly dropped to negative. After he finished speaking, tears finally fell.

"What?" Zhou Cheng was shocked.

The door of the duty room was suddenly opened, and the person who came in saw the strange atmosphere and closed the door and left.

Zhou Cheng's mind went blank for a moment. He said to Lu Ze, "Take me there," and then rushed out, with Lu Ze following closely behind him.

"How's Dr. Zhou these days?"

"There are always handsome guys coming to him..."

"Today she is still crying like a pear blossom in the rain."

"Why do I feel like Dr. Zhou is a heartless man?"

"It's fine if he doesn't talk about it, but when he does, it's shocking."

The doctors and nurses at the nurses' station watched the two of them rush out and started a new round of gossip.

Lu Ze was a little surprised to see Zhou Cheng's sudden strong reaction. After getting in the car, he realized that he was still wearing a white coat with only a short-sleeved surgical gown underneath.

"Which hospital?" Zhou Cheng asked him after starting the car.

Lu Ze looked bewildered.

"Let me ask..." Lu Ze said and quickly called He Zhu.

Zhou Cheng was now questioning the veracity of the foreigner's words. After Lu Ze told Zhou Cheng the name of the hospital, he started speeding again. Zhou Cheng always sped from home to the hospital when he needed emergency surgery, and he'd gone to the traffic police station numerous times to explain the situation. Later, he realized he couldn't get a ticket even if he was speeding, but today was the first time he'd abused his privilege without an emergency.

"What tests have been done on liver function, blood coagulation, and blood routine? What are the results?"

Zhou Cheng wanted to know about Su Qingyan's condition as soon as possible, but he didn't get a response after asking. Zhou Cheng glanced at Lu Ze and saw his puzzled expression. He thought he didn't understand the medical Chinese, so he asked again in English.

"I'll call and ask again..." Lu Ze felt like he was about to be suffocated by Zhou Cheng's aura before he went on a rampage.

"No need." Zhou Cheng controlled his emotions and asked, "Is he in a regular ward or ICU? Is there a blood purification device next to his bed?"

"In the ordinary ward, we have to take many injections every day. What is a blood purification device?" Lu Ze suddenly felt stupid. After he finished speaking, he was almost thrown out by Zhou Cheng's sudden acceleration.

"Seat belt." Zhou Cheng raised his chin towards him.

Lu Ze obediently fastened his seatbelt, and Zhou Cheng remained silent. Lu Ze dared not breathe, reflecting on how he had dared to yell at him. If Su Qingyan really got together with him, his future would be in jeopardy.
