Chapter 667 - 667 Mother Xiao Awakes
Just before the birthday banquet ended, Xiao Yize received a call from the military hospital informing him that his mother had woken up.
As Mother Xiao’s attending physician, Gu Jin naturally had to go and take a look.
Lin Ran was roped in by Xiao Yize to be the driver, and Gu Jin and Xiao Yize sat in the back seat.
Xiao Yize was on the phone with the Xiao family in the capital. Usually calm and composed, his tone now brimmed with excitement and joy.
Gu Jin tilted her head and looked at him. His cold phoenix eyes reflected the flowing lights outside the car window and the young man’s handsome, elegant face. Her annoyance at being disturbed disappeared.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yize turned to Gu Jin and said solemnly, “Miss Gu, my father asked me to thank you on behalf of the entire Xiao family in the capital. If it weren’t for his demanding position, he would have come to Jin City to thank you personally.”
The Xiao family had been in politics for generations. Father Xiao held a high position with numerous daily responsibilities, making it difficult for him to leave the capital easily.
At the mention of the Xiao family’s powerful and influential figure, Gu Jin’s usually nonchalant expression became more respectful. “Your father is too polite. You’ve paid enough, so I’ll naturally deliver a satisfactory result.”
Gu Jin viewed this as a straightforward transaction, believing there was no need for extra gratitude.
However, Mother Xiao had woken up earlier than she had anticipated.
When they arrived at the VIP ward of the military hospital, Xiao Yize carefully pushed the door open.
In the cold ward, a bouquet of pink carnations sat at the head of the bed.
The woman on the bed was still connected to many instruments, but she was no longer lying quietly. Instead, she was propped up.
Upon hearing the door open, she slowly opened her eyes. Her once calm gaze softened when she saw Xiao Yize.
Despite trying her best to control her emotions, her eyes filled with tears. “Is it Yize?”
“Mom, it’s me.” Xiao Yize’s voice was hoarse as he rushed forward.
Mother Xiao’s pale, sickly hand held Xiao Yize’s tightly. She hadn’t spoken for a long time, and her voice was hoarse. “You’ve grown so much… You look just like your father.”
Gu Jin and Lin Ran stood at the door, giving Xiao Yize and his mother some privacy.
Lin Ran looked at the scene in the ward and couldn’t help but wipe his tears.
“Auntie Xiao is finally awake. Miss Gu, you’re truly amazing. Over the years, the Xiao family and Young Master Xiao have consulted many renowned doctors, both domestically and overseas, but they all said she wouldn’t wake up. Fortunately, you’re here.”
Gu Jin remained expressionless, but her heart was stirred by Xiao Yize’s emotions.
Was it because he seemed so pitiful that she felt sympathy for him?
Just as Gu Jin was lost in thought, Xiao Yize came over and gently held her hand, guiding her into the ward.
Gu Jin frowned slightly, but when she looked up, she met Mother Xiao’s gentle and loving gaze from the hospital bed. She actually forgot to pull her hand away from Xiao Yize’s.
Forget it. Since Xiao Yize was her official partner, she would reluctantly let him hold her hand.
Facing Mother Xiao’s loving and expectant gaze, Gu Jin couldn’t bear to disappoint her.
As a doctor, she had to consider the emotions of her patients and their families.
For some reason, seeing Mother Xiao awake gave Gu Jin an indescribable good impression of her. Perhaps it was because they were very pleasing to the eye?
Seeing that Gu Jin did not let go of his hand, Xiao Yize was a little surprised.
He introduced her to Mother Xiao. “Mom, this is Gu Jin, Doctor Gu. She cured you.”
Hearing Xiao Yize’s introduction, Gu Jin frowned slightly, feeling a moment of disappointment.
But then, Mother Xiao took her other hand. Her grip was weak and soft, but warm. Her voice was gentle. “Is this Jin?”
Xiao Yize smiled and looked at Gu Jin affectionately. “Yes, she is Jin, the girl I like.”
