Chapter 212: Chapter 212

Bai Xue was taken aback by Liu Zhiyuan’s words, never expecting that someone who usually respected her would ask such a thing.

Ye Qian’s face turned pale, forgetting to cry, "Brother Zhiyuan, do you not believe me?"

The disappointment and pain on her face made Ye Qian’s heart sink for no reason. She didn’t understand why Brother Zhiyuan, who always sided with her, suddenly looked at her in this way. Was it just because Ye Ling was lying in bed that he favored Ye Ling’s side?

Liu Zhiyuan turned his head away, not looking at Ye Qian. He didn’t blame Ye Qian but blamed himself for being too careless; otherwise, such a thing wouldn’t have happened today. He had intended to be helpful, but instead, he inadvertently harmed Ye Ling.

Things were not going well on one side, creating a rift. On the other side, Doctor Wang, having listened to Mrs. Zhao, pondered for a moment, "I can wake her up, but I’m not sure about the dosage of her medication. I’m worried that if she wakes up, her head might still be dizzy, and she may not be able to take the exam."

"Then what are we waiting for, hurry and wake her up," Zhao Guodong said, anxiously scratching his head.

Only then did Doctor Wang go to get the intravenous drip. "This contains glucose paired with a stimulant. I hope this bottle will wake her up, and to speed up the process, we could also use laxatives and diuretics simultaneously."

But when someone is unconscious, it’s a troublesome situation, requiring assistance to clean up after them.

Zhao Guodong was initially going to agree directly, but on second thought, he restrained himself, blushing with shame, while Mrs. Zhao offered, "I’ll do it, Doctor Wang, as long as it doesn’t harm this child."

"Grandma Zhao, let me do it," Ye Qian stepped forward with reddened eyes, "It was my negligence that harmed my sister, let me do it as atonement, or I’ll feel guilty forever."

"Hypocritical." Zhao Guodong muttered.

But the room was small enough that everyone heard.

Ye Qian’s face flushed, and she lowered her head in grievance, while Bai Xue glared, "How can you speak like that, child? Ye Qian was well-intended, who would have thought this would happen, and besides, that foolish girl just takes medicine without checking. Who should she blame if not herself?"

Bai Xue’s words made Liu Zhiyuan stand like a needle, "This is my fault, for anything I can help with, I’ll definitely do it."

"Help how? Help Ye Ling with the exam?" Zhao Guodong glared over.

"Didn’t Doctor Wang say she could wake up?" Sun Mingjie couldn’t stand it and stared, "Moreover, why are you so anxious? It’s not even about you. Zhiyuan has been admitting his fault all along, hasn’t he? Zhiyuan was just kindly giving her the medicine, but that medicine wasn’t even his."

"Why are you butting in?" Zhao Guodong, clenching his fists and grinding his teeth, was about to make a move.

"Enough, all of you, outside. Fight all you want out there; I need to treat the patient. Everyone, get out." Doctor Wang got angry, shouted loudly to clear out the room, "Aren’t you all having exams this afternoon? Go, go, go, have lunch and don’t delay the exam, Grandma Zhao is advanced in age, go home first, and Ye Qian can stay to care for the patient."

"How’s that possible?" Zhao Guodong disagreed.

Mrs. Zhao pulled her grandson’s collar, leading him outside, while thanking Doctor Wang, "Doctor Wang, we’ll trouble you then, we’ll return after eating."

Only then did Zhao Guodong comply.

The room cleared, leaving just Bai Xue and her daughter alone. Ye Qian glanced lightly at her mother, sat by the bedside, and remained silent. Bai Xue didn’t know what she had done to upset her daughter until Doctor Wang’s words enlightened her, "Sister-in-law Ye, not to meddle, but she is your daughter. When they said someone should stay to care, you should have spoken up. Luckily, Ye Qian is sensible enough to stay, or what would outsiders think of you?"

Doctor Wang, while lowering his head to insert the needle for Ye Ling, sighed, "This child is too thin, her veins are hard to find."

After inserting the needle and adjusting the medication’s flow, Doctor Wang turned to leave but returned with a medicine, "Sister, insert this into Ye Ling’s anus. Then prepare some paper as well."

Bai Xue took the medicine, and Doctor Wang left, as a big man staying there wasn’t appropriate.

With no outsiders around, the mother and daughters were silent, Ye Ling unconscious, while the other two spoke not a word. Ye Qian was constantly worried about Liu Zhiyuan blaming her; she understood her mother was defending her at the time, but it depends on the circumstances. Even though it had been agreed upon that day, the situation changed suddenly.

"Should we use the medicine or not? If we use it and she doesn’t wake up, how do we clean up the mess?" Bai Xue, knowing her younger daughter was angry, tried to change the topic, "I think it’s better not to; the intravenous drip is already administered, she’ll be fine soon."

Ye Qian didn’t want to speak and remained silent, also resenting Ye Ling for causing trouble at an inconvenient time; if it were any other time, it wouldn’t have been an issue. Otherwise, she’d have given Brother Zhiyuan the medicine as backup and it would’ve been fine. If Brother Zhiyuan couldn’t use it, he’d return it to her, and he’d always remember her caring for him.

Now, everything is ruined, Brother Zhiyuan would remember this forever, but not for her good deeds, rather for the embarrassment she caused him.

After half a bottle of medication was administered, Doctor Wang came to check, and before Ye Ling woke, Zhao Guodong, having eaten, rushed back and was intercepted by Zhang Linong along the way, pointed to the side, showing Liu Zhiyuan and others were coming too, Zhao Guodong raised his eyebrows, at least he has some conscience.

"We’ve discussed over lunchtime; as long as Ye Ling wakes up, things are manageable. During the afternoon exam, if she can just be present, even if sleeping there, we could secretly pass her the answers and let her copy them." Liu Zhiyuan had never done such a thing before.

But upon returning home, thinking of Ye Ling, Liu Zhiyuan couldn’t rest easy. Wu Mengyi noticed his demeanor, asked what was going on, and though displeased, said little and only urged him not to overthink and focus on his exam.

No way Liu Zhiyuan wouldn’t think about it; so he, together with Xiang Weilai and others, devised this plan, to distract the invigilator and let Ye Ling seize the opportunity to copy, regardless, they’d muddle through the afternoon’s subject.

Zhao Guodong raised his eyebrows, ready to utter a few sarcastic remarks.

Zhang Linong held him back, nodded towards Liu Zhiyuan, "Let’s settle it first; let’s see Ye Ling, if she wakes, ask her too. Ultimately, she has to decide for herself."

You may want her to cheat, but Ye Ling might not even agree.

Despite Zhang Linong’s unspoken words, everyone present understood. Zhao Guodong glanced triumphantly at Liu Zhiyuan and the others and snorted as he headed towards the clinic, leaving Sun Mingjie fuming with rage.
