Chapter 579 I'll Protect You for Twelve Hours
The award ceremony officially begins at 8 p.m.
Yu Zhiming, who had basically solved his hunger problem, saw that he still had more than half an hour of free time, so he started strolling in the hall with Qingning.
At this time, the hall was bustling with people, and the number of people was almost doubled compared to when they first arrived.
After a while, Yu Zhiming actually found someone he knew in the crowd.
Qiu Yi’s mother Luo Qingqing!
He pretended not to see it, and walked around casually with Qing Ning, and found Ding Ye who was talking to Dr. Wang Yaxian, a gynecologist at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiaotong University.
The two of them didn't go over to disturb them.
"Qing Ning, didn't you find anyone you know?"
Qing Ning replied softly, "I did meet a few people. I've met them before at some events with my parents or my eldest brother."
"But, we're just acquaintances. Maybe they don't remember me anymore, so there's no need to greet them."
Yu Zhiming shook Qing Ning's hand and said, "I promised Dr. Ding that I'd come, so I'd better not come."
"We'll leave as soon as the award ceremony is over."
Qing Ning chuckled and replied "Okay".
At this moment, a clear female voice rang out, "Gu Qingning, is it really you?"
Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning turned around at the same time.
Then I saw a young, plump woman with a beautiful face and a small dress coming closer.
Although this person had a beautiful and dignified face, the expression he gave Qing Ning was somewhat unfriendly, almost as if he was gritting his teeth.
Qing Ning also had a sharp look and a tense expression.
"Enemy?" Yu Zhiming asked worriedly.
Qing Ning replied coldly, "You can't say she's an enemy. She's my middle school classmate, Mo Xinmeng. We used to dislike each other and quarreled a lot."
These words made Mo Xinmeng in front of him a little defensive.
She complained with a look of grief and indignation, "What do you mean by disliking each other and making a fuss? Gu Qingning, you're the one who's been bullying me, okay?"
These words made Yu Zhiming look at Qing Ning with new respect.
"Were you the bad boy in middle school?"
Qing Ning defended herself, "No way!"
"At that time, there were just a few classmates who got along well with me and we often played together."
Qing Ning met Mo Xinmeng's gaze and counterattacked, "Why do you ask me to bully you? Don't you have any idea?"
"You always tell tattles to the teacher, causing me to be criticized and have my parents called in frequently. Have you forgotten?"
Mo Xinmeng said confidently, "I'm the secretary of the Youth League branch in our class. It's your fault for always disobeying class rules and leading many of your classmates astray."
Qing Ning also said angrily: "At that time, I just didn't like studying and loved playing."
"As the teacher's lackey, you report everything, big or small, to the teacher. Do you know how many classmates hate you?"
Mo Xinmeng said with disdain, "Of course I know. Only you and your few cronies hate me."
"Okay, okay..."
Yu Zhiming stopped Qing Ning, who was about to fight back angrily, and persuaded her, "It's been so many years."
"Looking back now, these are all pretty funny little things, aren't they? It's a rare opportunity for you to be reunited tonight, so why not put aside your grudges and laugh it off?"
"impossible!"
Qing Ning and Mo Xinmeng replied in unison.
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and suggested, "Since we can't let go of our grudges, why don't we find a place to fight and settle the past grudges once and for all?"
"Good! Very good! Excellent!" Qing Ning was eager to try, and waved her little fist provocatively.
Mo Xinmeng involuntarily took a step back and said angrily, "This is not fair."
"Gu Qingning, I know you've practiced and are very good at fighting."
At this time, a handsome young man in a suit and tie came to Mo Xinmeng.
"Mengmeng, your friend?"
Mo Xinmeng leaned towards the young man beside her, pointed at Gu Qingning and Yu Zhiming, and said pitifully with a look of grievance: "They, they..."
Gu Qingning interrupted with a look of disdain: "You snitch, are you here to complain again?"
Mo Xinmeng stood up straight immediately.
"Gu Qingning, I won't bother with you about the past, but I won't make peace with you."
"Don't appear in front of me again."
Gu Qingning also said coldly: "Mo Xinmeng, I will give you the same words."
After saying that, the two women angrily pulled their men and went in different directions.
After walking a dozen steps in the crowd, Qing Ning took a glass of red wine from a passing waiter, stopped, and took a big sip.
"I'm so angry that I actually ran into that snitch."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "What's there to be angry about? The other party is obviously more upset about what you did."
After a pause, he said happily, "I never realized you were the big sister of the school back then."
Qing Ning smiled awkwardly and said, "How can you be the big sister?
"We were just fooling around together, and they were encouraging us to stand up against the snitch."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "A snitch and a lackey, indeed, many classmates dislike him."
Qing Ning took another sip of red wine, reminiscing for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Back then, dead mice, snakes, and toads were often thrown into her schoolbag and into the hole in the desk."
"When it rains, he steals her umbrella."
Yu Zhiming was just about to raise his hand to tap Qing Ning's forehead when he saw Chen He approaching quickly.
"Doctor Yu, I need your help. Please follow me."
Seeing that Chen He had a heavy expression on his face, Yu Zhiming did not ask any more questions and followed Chen He's steps.
Qing Ning followed Yu Zhiming in quick steps.
Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning hurriedly followed Chen He out of the hall, walked through the long corridor, and entered a room.
As soon as he entered the room, Yu Zhiming felt a little dazed, as if he had entered the ICU ward of a hospital.
Apart from the familiar hospital smell, everything you see is snow-white.
There is also a white bed.
Lying on the hospital bed was a skinny old lady who was breathing oxygen with a painful expression on her face.
Several vital signs monitoring devices and life support instruments were neatly placed on both sides of the bed.
However, none of these instruments and equipment were turned on.
There were two nurses guarding the bed.
There were still more than a dozen people standing quietly in the room.
Chen He introduced quickly, "Doctor Yu, the person on the bed is the honorary president of our foundation, Ms. Xia Jin, the daughter of Mr. Chen Ying."
After a pause, she continued, "I'm ninety-five years old this year and have advanced cervical cancer."
"Ms. Xia Jin had previously instructed that in the event of an emergency, no further rescue efforts would be performed."
"It's just that the situation today is a little special."
"Ms. Xia also agreed and said that you, Doctor Yu, could try to treat him."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming turned his gaze to the old lady on the bed and saw her nod slightly.
Seeing this, Yu Zhiming asked for a pair of surgical gloves, put them on, and began to perform a physical examination on Ms. Xia.
After a quick inspection, he found the problem.
Pulmonary embolism.
Yu Zhiming analyzed that it was probably due to long-term bed rest that caused deep vein thrombosis.
The blood clot breaks off and flows into the lungs with the blood, causing blockage.
"Pulmonary embolism, are there any thrombolytics?"
As soon as Yu Zhiming finished speaking, the older nurse took out the medicine he needed from the medicine cabinet next to him.
Given the grandmother's current physical condition, Yu Zhiming used a thin needle to inject the thrombolytic agent directly into the embolism site in the lungs in order to achieve a quick effect.
A few minutes later, the old lady let out a sigh and her expression became much more relaxed.
She waved slightly, motioning Yu Zhiming to come closer.
Yu Zhiming came to the head of the bed and bent down again.
"Dr. Yu, thank you!"
"There are quite a few guests here today, some of them are my friends. I want to meet them and say goodbye."
After saying these few words, Ms. Xia consumed a lot of energy and had to take a few breaths to relax.
After a while, Ms. Xia whispered slowly, "I want to see my mother's favorite courtyard again and see the study where she used to write."
"Doctor Yu, can you help me?"
Yu Zhiming hesitated and said, "In that case..."
Ms. Xia understood what Yu Zhiming meant and said with some difficulty, "In my case, is there any difference between lying down for a few more days and then closing my eyes, or closing my eyes after an hour?"
"Doctor Yu, this is my last wish."
Yu Zhiming turned around and looked at Chen He standing nearby, as well as a dozen people who were obviously Ms. Xia's family members.
"I still need to discuss this with your family."
Seeing that Ms. Xia closed her eyes slightly, Yu Zhiming took a few steps away and came closer to Chen He and Ms. Xia's family members.
He whispered Ms. Xia's request again.
The scene was quiet.
Yu Zhiming noticed that everyone present, including Chen He, turned their gazes to an old man with gray hair who looked to be in his seventies.
The old man hesitated and struggled for a moment, then he let out a long breath.
"Since it is Mother's wish, let's do it."
The old man looked at Yu Zhiming again and said with hope: "Doctor Yu, you can do it, right?"
"How long can my mother hold on like that?"
Yu Zhiming frankly whispered, "Ms. Xia is very weak. I need to do a detailed examination to find the best parts of the internal organs and tissues that can be stimulated with medication."
"As for how long you can last after the stimulation, I can't guarantee it."
Yu Zhiming added, "Another possibility is that Ms. Xia's body can't withstand the stimulation..."
He didn't say anything else, but everyone present understood.
There was another silence.
It was the white-haired old man who broke the silence.
"Doctor Yu, just go ahead and do your best. No matter what happens, it's not your responsibility."
Yu Zhiming returned to the bedside again.
He met Ms. Xia's eager gaze and said, "Ms. Xia, the power of the human spirit is truly miraculous. It can unleash unimaginable power at critical moments."
"Especially in your situation."
Yu Zhiming said confidently, "As long as you persist and don't give up, I can guarantee you at least twelve hours."
A light flashed in Ms. Xia's eyes, and even her voice became a little louder.
"I won't give up until my wish is fulfilled."
"Doctor Yu, let's begin..."
