Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Desperately Searching for Her
“Yes, I did say that. But I do have something urgent now. Can I come back tonight, is that okay?” Mu Lingyun spoke.
Ji Luochen shook his head, his voice serene, “No, wherever you go, I’ll follow. I’m free today, so I’ll accompany you. You wouldn’t want me to get bored and end up going back to work, would you?”
After he knew that the girl was the Godly Doctor Y, he realized that she would often visit the base of the Guozhong Medical Institution.
She went there last Saturday and Sunday.
He figured she would go today as well since tomorrow she had an opening ceremony, and going today would be a good choice.
So he insisted on going with her because he wanted to see how long she intended to keep secrets from him.
...
Seeing that Ji Luochen was adamant and had spoken to this point, she couldn’t refuse him anymore, so she could only say, “Then follow me. We’ll go somewhere in a bit.”
There was a surgery scheduled for today, so she had to visit the institution.
There were still some preparatory tasks for the surgery that hadn’t been completed.
–
She had arranged yesterday for the institution’s car to pick them up, so she and Ji Luochen arrived at the institution at the time she had planned.
Ji Luochen glanced around and felt somewhat surprised.
He had long heard of the Guozhong Medical Institution because for his illness, his grandfather had sought out many connections to get someone from the institution to take over his treatment.
But the person in charge there had clearly stated that with his condition, even their institution’s people weren’t confident.
The precision and stamina required for his surgery were top tier, and currently, there was no one who could achieve it.
In other words, they knew what surgery to perform, but no one was capable of doing it.
Different from what other institutions had responded, but the outcome was the same, it was incurable.
Because of this response, he never bothered to learn more about the institution.
Now, seeing the security level here, it surpassed his expectations.
“Um…” After getting out of the car, Mu Lingyun thought it over and still decided to explain to Ji Luochen, “I’m actually a doctor here, and I came because there is a surgery that needs to be performed.”
“Hmm,” Ji Luochen responded indifferently after hearing her words.
Mu Lingyun saw his nonchalant expression and began to suspect that he might have known all along.
She had forgotten, her Crown Prince, though physically weak, was almost uncannily intelligent.
Perhaps some of her actions had allowed him to guess she was a doctor here, or had he figured out that she was the Doctor Y?
While leading Ji Luochen to her office, Mu Lingyun was very silent, mulling over this matter.
After entering the office, she suddenly pushed him against the wall and trapped him between herself and the wall before she opened her mouth to ask, “Did you guess something long ago, and that’s why you clung to me? Making me bring you here?”
Ji Luochen casually leaned against the wall, picking up a strand of her hair and slowly winding it around his index finger.
“Speak,” Mu Lingyun demanded, staring at him and spitting out two words.
Ji Luochen leaned towards her ear and whispered, “What if I didn’t figure it out? How long were you planning to hide it from me? A lifetime? Huh? Godly Doctor Y?”
Mu Lingyun frowned— he had indeed figured it out.
She had been careless.
“I know you’ve always been looking for me, but I…” Mu Lingyun trailed off.
Ji Luochen stood up straight again, his head leaning back against the wall, and the strand of hair he had been playing with was cast aside.
He had indeed been searching for her all this time.
He was on the brink of death once, yet he was desperately searching for her.
