Chapter 311 I'd rather die than admit defeat
After Xia Yue returned with the "Severing Emotions and Love" manual, she devoted all her energy to studying it.
However, this was a poison specifically developed by the Drug organization to control its members.
In just a few days during the summer months, it's impossible to know the specific composition.
Her father provided her with limited reference materials, so she had to figure things out step by step.
In addition, she also has to take care of her master, who is still in a coma due to the Y3 virus, as well as people who occasionally come to her for medical treatment.
Xia Yue's belly grew bigger day by day, and her lower abdomen bulged slightly.
But her face grew thinner at a visible rate, losing its previous delicate and lively appearance, and a faint sadness appeared between her brows and eyes.
Bai Yan and Madam Xia both advised Xia Yue not to push herself so hard.
Summer could not stop.
Every time she starts researching drugs, she becomes completely absorbed and can't help but concentrate.
Fortunately, she was in good health and had been running around in the mountains with her master since she was a child, so she could withstand this level of exertion.
The mental pressure is just getting greater and greater.
Especially lately, she keeps dreaming about her good friend Shen Xiangxiang, who seems to be trapped in a very, very far place.
She tried to save them, but each time she fell into the sea, was completely submerged, and couldn't breathe.
Then I woke up from a nightmare.
Xia Yue felt that something must have happened to her friend.
She had tried to contact Shen Xiangxiang, and even inquired with Shen Qing and other business people, but to no avail.
She tried buying information on the dark web, but that also yielded no results.
Xia Yue asked Qin Yeting for help in the search, and Qin Yeting said he would do his best, but there has been no follow-up.
Because of this incident, Xia Yue was somewhat distracted while treating Gu Mo today.
Gu Mo, who always trusted Xia Yue, couldn't help but remind her this time, "Dr. X, why don't you rest for a bit? I'm not in a hurry."
Xia Yue never expected that she would commit such a grave mistake in practicing medicine.
Regardless of your mood, you must maintain 100% focus when treating patients.
Otherwise, it would be irresponsible to the patient.
Following Gu Mo's advice, Xia Yue calmed down for a few minutes before returning to receive treatment.
This acupuncture session is crucial; it's the last session of the first course of treatment.
If things recover well, Gu Mo will be able to stand up this time.
The acupuncture session ended two hours later.
Xia Yue wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and said to Gu Mo, "Try standing up."
"Stand? Is it really okay?" Gu Mo's eyes were filled with anticipation, but also a hint of fear.
Xia Yue simply smiled as she looked at Gu Mo.
Encouraged, Gu Mo decided to give it a try.
He began to exert force, carefully holding onto the table next to him with one hand, and placing the other hand on his assistant.
For a fleeting moment, he wished that the person supporting him was Xia Yue, but he knew that was just wishful thinking.
He only wanted to be able to stand up; he didn't dare ask for anything else.
Gu Mo took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and finally realized that he had really stood up!
My legs can really support it now.
Then, he let go of the table and was still able to stand.
He asked his assistant to let him go, but he was still able to stand.
Gu Mo was overjoyed! His face was beaming with ecstasy!
He never imagined that one day he would be able to stand up again!
He wanted to ask for something more, so he took a step forward.
However, as soon as he made a move, his body became unsteady and he fell straight to the ground!
Xia Yue reacted quickly and grabbed Gu Mo.
"You can only stand up now, you can't walk yet, you'll have to wait another two months," Xia Yue said in a clear voice.
The sound reached Gu Mo's ears like heavenly music.
He can leave in two more months.
"Dr. X, thank you so much! You are my savior, and I will always remember your kindness!" Gu Mo thanked him repeatedly.
I truly feel grateful to Xia Yue as if she were a deity.
She even felt disgusted with her former self for having such shameless thoughts about her savior.
Xia Yue was completely unaware of Gu Mo's thoughts as he helped her back into the wheelchair.
After Gu Mo sat down, he couldn't help but sigh, "You and my second brother are from the same school, but you are two extremes."
If he had learned even half of your qualities, he wouldn't be the way he is now.
Xia Yue sensed an underlying meaning in Gu Mo's words and asked in return, "What's wrong with Gu Chen now?"
"He's completely gone mad now. He's heard some strange tale from somewhere, that the legendary forbidden island of Broken Souls holds a treasure that can bring the dead back to life and grant immortality."
We, who have received modern scientific education, know that such a thing is impossible. Yet he, a medical student, actually believed it and even forced the Gu family to give him a large sum of money to buy a boat and go out to sea to find that island.
I reckon this is a near-certain death situation; he's unlikely to come back.
When Gu Mo said this, his tone was one of surprise and disdain, but a hint of jealousy and resentment flashed in his eyes.
Gu Chen caused such a huge mess, but because he's protected by the Drug Organization, he can continue to get away with it.
People like that are better off dying out there and never coming back.
Xia Yue took Gu Mo's words to heart.
Given Gu Chen's cunning nature, he wouldn't seek out a rumored treasure without a reason.
Unless this treasure has some semblance of plausibility.
Moreover, Gu Chen is a member of the Drug organization, and all his actions are guided by that organization.
The so-called Soul-Severing Island is definitely not as mysterious as the rumors suggest.
"Young Master Gu, that concludes today's treatment. Go back and get some rest."
