Chapter 511 - Matters of the Heart (Part 2) (2/2)

They checked everything from her breathing rate to her heartbeat and then her organ vitality. They’d have done a CT scan for her if they’d had the facilities on board.

Huo Shaoheng remained outside. Folding his arms, he observed the situation through the gla.s.s windows.

He Zhichu had on a disinfected white doctor’s robe and a mask. He was disinfected entirely before being allowed in the room. Standing beside the doctor, he oversaw the whole checkup procedure. The advanced equipment ensured the speed and accuracy of their checkups.

The results were ready in just 10 minutes. Holding the results, the doctor looked at He Zhichu with a strange expression.

“Mr. He, this lady is just suffering from fatigue… All she needs is a long night of sleep…”

The doctor almost rolled his eyes at He Zhichu. He thought back at how He Zhichu had looked at him and spoke to him just now—it had made him think that this lady had some internal injuries that were so severe that she was on the verge of dying or something…

Dissing He Zhichu for over-exaggerating things in his heart, the doctor said, “I’ll go and attend to the gentleman over there if there’s nothing else here. He is in a more critical condition than this lady; he needs to be conscious soon.”

He was referring to Zhao Liangze.

He Zhichu looked at him blankly. “Really? She’s fine? No internal injuries or illness?”

He emphasized “internal injuries,” sounding extremely worried.

“Yes, she’s fine. I can vouch for that. This lady’s health is at the optimum condition. She’s really just suffering from fatigue and needs to rest in bed for a couple of days.” The doctor answered He Zhichu in detail, with the perfect ethics of a doctor.

He Zhichu had no idea why, but after hearing that Gu Nianzhi was fine, he did not feel relieved. On the contrary, he felt even sadder than before. Waving his hand, he told the doctor, “Go and get your things done. I’d like to have a short rest.”

Gu Nianzhi had already fallen asleep. The bruises on her lips were still evident, but the teeth marks had faded slightly. Judging by the speed of her recovery, it was safe to predict that the injuries on her face would be gone by the next day.

He Zhichu sat by the side of Gu Nianzhi’s bed. He hugged his head and lay face down on the side of the s.h.i.+p. He felt horrible. It was his fault that she was like this…

Huo Shaoheng waited outside the room. The moment the doctor came out, he went to the doctor and said in extremely fluent English, “May I know how the lady in the room was?”

Hearing Huo Shaoheng’s perfect English, the doctor had a good first impression of him. Smiling, he told Huo Shaoheng, “Don’t worry. That lady inside was merely suffering from fatigue. All she needs is just to rest for a couple of days. We can give her a couple of injections of glucose if you’d like, but she’d really do fine even without them.” The doctor’s first language was English as well.

Huo Shaoheng confirmed carefully. “Really? She’s really fine? There aren’t any internal injuries or illness?”

The doctor laughed and shook his head. “You asked the exact same question as Mr. He. I’ll answer the same way. No, she does not have any health issues. It’s just that she is still young, yet she rescued two adult males from the bottom of the sea. It’d be a miracle if she wasn’t tired out.”

There was also that electrical current, which the doctor witnessed personally. The doctor felt that he would’ve been on his way to see G.o.d if he had been the one who’d had to go through such shocks. This lady was merely lucky and extremely blessed by G.o.d in order to be able to save both of the men just now.

“Amen. May the Lord continue to bless her. If we were to talk about severity, that man over there is really way more critical than this lady. I need to take a look at him right now.” This doctor traced a cross on his chest, nodded to Huo Shaoheng, and left to examine on Zhao Liangze.

Huo Shaoheng looked at the treatment room for a while before opening the door. However, he held back and did not go in. It was a fully disinfected room; he did not go through the process of disinfection, so he could not go in.

Folding his arms, he leaned against the door of the treatment room. His face looked calm as he thought about the possibilities of what had happened.

All of a sudden, his phone rang. The ringing of a phone always sounded a lot more prominent when the area around you was silent.

Putting on his Bluetooth earpiece, Huo Shaoheng picked up the call. He straightened his back when he realized that it was Yin s.h.i.+xiong.

“How is it?” he asked. “Is the chopper on the way?”

“Yes, it’s on the way, Mr. Huo. I’m on the chopper. Are you in the s.h.i.+p with four levels right in front?” Yin s.h.i.+xiong’s surroundings were noisy. It sounded like the chopper’s rotors.

“Yes. I told you just now that this was He Zhichu’s s.h.i.+p.”

Huo Shaoheng put away his phone and knocked on the door. He Zhichu raised his head and looked at him.

Huo Shaoheng pushed the door open and said calmly, “My chopper is here. I’ll be bringing Nianzhi with me.”

He Zhichu stood up and went to the door, blocking it. “You can leave, but Nianzhi stays,” he said just as calmly.
