Chapter 137 Seeking Repayment for Kindness
In the corridor outside the delivery room, Mao Li kept comforting Xiao Bao, but he himself was more anxious. As Zuo Shan's contracted servant, the power of the contract allowed him to sense his master's weakness.
However, he was not skilled in medicine, and even if he rushed into the delivery room, he could not help his master at all; all he could do was wait.
Moreover, without his reassurance, Xiao Bao might have run uncontrollably into the delivery room, causing chaos that would have been impossible to manage.
He thought that at least Lele was inside, and if she really encountered a problem she couldn't solve, Lele would definitely run out and ask him for help.
Just then, he overheard one nurse whispering to another: "Do you know who I'm assigned to provide special care for today?"
"Who is it? Could it be the district chief of District 48?" another nurse laughed.
"Hey! Someone even more powerful than the district chief!"
"How come I didn't know there was someone even more powerful than the district chief in our 48th district?"
"You haven't been in District 48 long enough to know some of the secrets. Let me tell you, that guy is a hidden master, an eighth-tier healing-type ability user!"
"You're bragging again! An eighth-tier healing ability user coming to a run-down place like our District 48? Wouldn't they have been invited to the Central District long ago?"
"I heard that she offended a big shot in the central district and was unwilling to rely on other big families, so she ran back to District 48 to retire. This was her birthplace."
"After all you've been saying, who exactly is she?"
"She is the Lady Gu Rong who lives in the luxury residential area of Building 6 in Zone A. Everyone usually calls her Madam Gu. Those who don't know the situation think she is a relative of some bigwig in the management. In fact, the management treats her like a goddess."
"Think about it, an eighth-tier healing user—if someone's relative is injured by a mutated beast in the wild, they can ask this person for help, right?"
"Why would a high-level healer be injured and admitted to our hospital?"
"Who knows? Anyway, when she was brought in, she was covered in blood and had suffered serious injuries."
However, after receiving a blood transfusion, she healed herself completely, without leaving even a small scar. It's truly amazing.
The two nurses walked away talking. Mao Li immediately perked up and told Xiao Bao, "Be good and wait here. I'll be right back!" Then he followed the nurse.
Mao Li followed the nurse to the door of a VIP ward. The nurse carefully pushed the door open and went inside. Mao Li then heard sounds coming from within:
"Go tell your hospital director that I'm fine and planning to be discharged. This ward can accommodate more patients."
"Madam Gu, please be patient and wait a little while. I'll go and ask the hospital director to come over. You can talk to him in person, otherwise he will definitely blame me for not taking good care of you." The nurse's voice was pleading.
"Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. Go and call him over as soon as possible." The old woman's voice was very kind.
"Thank you so much! I'll go right away!" The nurse, tears streaming down her face, pushed open the door and ran off, allowing Mao Li to slip inside.
As soon as he entered, he saw the old woman sitting by the bed frowning: "Come out! Don't hide!"
Startled, Mao Li had no choice but to revert to his invisibility and reveal his cat form.
"Oh! Your robot cat is quite pretty. Who is your owner?" Old Madam Gu asked with a smile.
“Madam, my master is the one who saved you before. I don’t know if you remember, but you were pierced through the chest by a steel bar. It was my master who used his metal-based supernatural ability to melt the steel bar. Otherwise, you might have died from blood loss,” Mao Li said directly.
He desperately needs this healing expert to ensure Zuo Shan's safety, so he doesn't care about exposing himself or what trouble might follow.
"So that's how it is, haha! This Dean Chen is quite adept at claiming credit for others' work," Old Madam Gu sneered.
The earthquake came too suddenly. She was sitting in the yard enjoying tea when the courtyard wall was shaken and tilted.
At that moment, her beloved pet—the mutated miniature pig Hanhan—was playing by the fence. Her first reaction was to protect Hanhan with her mental barrier.
By the time she came to her senses and tried to protect herself, a steel bar that had flown out from the collapsed two-story building had pierced her chest.
At the same time, a piece of wall debris hit her temple, and she immediately lost consciousness and fainted.
Psychic ability users are physically weaker than other ability users, perhaps because their brains are too developed, so that other parts of their bodies are not much different from ordinary people.
The healer who had fainted was naturally unable to heal herself, but she still had a residual self-preservation instinct that protected her vital organs, which is why she did not die on the spot.
But if that steel bar can't be removed, she will eventually go into shock due to excessive blood loss and will inevitably die.
If the person removing the steel bar was not skilled enough, or if they accidentally ruptured a major artery, she would also die before regaining consciousness due to massive and rapid blood loss.
Gu Rong was initially confused after waking up. According to her last memory, she thought she was doomed. However, Dean Chen said that he personally and carefully removed the steel bar, and that he was able to give her enough blood through a transfusion, which helped to awaken her consciousness.
It now appears that he took credit for the cat's owner's work.
Since she owed them a life-saving favor, she certainly couldn't leave without repaying it.
"Tell me, what does your master want?" Old Madam Gu asked with a smile.
"My mistress is giving birth in the delivery room. As you know, childbirth is dangerous, so I would like to ask you to go and see her. If everything goes well, there is naturally no need for you to trouble yourself."
"If anything unexpected happens, please save her life," Mao Li said, somewhat ashamed.
The mechanical race has always been known for giving without expecting anything in return, but for him to chase after someone who had just struggled back from the brink of death to save his master is indeed a bit excessive.
But he was truly at a loss; in this situation, he had no idea who to turn to for help.
Madam Gu was somewhat surprised by Mao Li's words. She had originally thought he was just a slightly smarter robot cat with an artificial intelligence program, but she did not expect his intelligence to exceed her imagination.
"Let's go, take me to your master." Old Madam Gu didn't hesitate at all.
