Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Despite strict orders against divulging details about the prominent figure and the Godly Doctor, Gu Zhaoming reasoned that since he shared a close connection with the individual in question, it should be permissible to disclose the information. Furthermore, with the insider present, withholding vital knowledge would weigh heavily on his conscience.
The prospect of finally having a lead filled Gu Zhaoming and Gu Pei with elation and hope.
Grasping Xiao Yize’s hand with fervor, Gu Zhaoming’s voice quivered with excitement as he implored, “Xiao, do you know where we can find the Godly Doctor? Could you possibly enlist her aid for my wife’s surgery?”
Echoing his father’s sentiments, Gu Pei added urgently, “Vice Principal Xiao, only the Godly Doctor can ensure my mother’s surgery is a success. If you have any information on her whereabouts, please, we beg of you, share it with us!”
Xiao Yize was taken aback, his expression fraught with complexity as he gazed at Gu Zhaoming and his son. “You… you don’t know who the Godly Doctor is?”
Gu Zhaoming and Gu Pei exchanged bewildered glances, their confusion evident.
Without hesitation, Gu Pei voiced their perplexity. “How would we possibly know who the Godly Doctor is?”
Xiao Yize lapsed into silence, grappling with his own thoughts.
It dawned on him that Gu Jin had never explicitly concealed her identity as the Godly Doctor from the Gu family. After all, she frequently visited the military hospital, and her acupuncture treatment for Old Master Ruan’s condition was no secret. Xiao Yize had assumed the Gu family was aware of her dual identity.
Gu Zhaoming, sensing a shift in the atmosphere, tentatively ventured, “Xiao, is the Godly Doctor someone we’re acquainted with?”
With a heavy nod, Xiao Yize confirmed their suspicions, his mind reeling with the implications of this revelation.
He raised his hand to check the time on his simple mechanical watch, realizing there was still ample time before the conclusion of the English examination—a detail that suddenly felt inconsequential amidst the weight of the situation.
He wondered if Miss Gu would make it in time for the surgery.
Gu Zhaoming and Gu Pei couldn’t contain their anticipation. “Who is it?” they pressed eagerly.
As they awaited Xiao Yize’s response, the elevator doors parted, revealing three figures: Gu Jin, Gu Yang, and Feng Jue.
Approaching, Gu Jin inquired about the situation, her concern palpable. While she had administered initial aid at the accident site, she knew that the extent of Ruan Xueling’s injuries required professional medical evaluation.
Gu Yang and Feng Jue mirrored her apprehension, their expressions reflecting their worry.
The sudden appearance of the trio left Gu Zhaoming and Gu Pei momentarily speechless, their hands instinctively reaching for their phones to check the time.
“Is your college entrance examination finished? Is it?” they hurriedly inquired, eager for confirmation.
“It’s only around half past four. There’s still half an hour left before the exam ends. Sister, did you submit your papers early?” Gu Pei inquired anxiously.
Gu Yang nodded in affirmation. Meeting their worried gazes, she reassured them, “Yes, I handed in my paper early. I finished writing it after the exam started. I’m confident I’ll score full marks. Don’t worry.”
Concerned about her mother’s condition, Gu Yang had turned in her paper without double-checking, trusting in her proficiency in English.
Gu Jin and Feng Jue, having completed their exams earlier, waited patiently for Gu Yang. They knew her abilities well from their shared study sessions and could gauge how much time she would need for the English paper.
With her scheduled departure from the exam hall in mind, they awaited her outside to provide support.
Upon hearing Gu Yang’s reassurance, Gu Zhaoming and Gu Pei were momentarily speechless, their relief palpable yet tinged with lingering worry.
The doctor beside them was taken aback, struck by the audacity of their actions. Handing in their exam papers early and claiming full marks seemed overly confident to him.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yize’s gaze shifted to Gu Jin, a sense of relief washing over him. Turning to Gu Zhaoming, he uttered with a smile, “Uncle Gu, the Godly Doctor is here.”
