Chapter 391: No Contact Necessary

Gu Dai spoke with calm certainty, “I have already repaired her uterus. After a period of recuperation, she’ll be no different from before.”
Her words fell among the doctors like a stone into a still pond, stirring up a wave of excitement.
“You are truly incredible, Legendary Doctor,” they exclaimed in admiration.
“With our current medical skills, it’s challenging enough to help a patient stand, let alone restore them to normal,” another added, a note of awe in their voice.
“I must study medicine diligently so I can be as good as the Legendary Doctor,” a young doctor mused aloud. “No, wait, to be half as skilled as the Legendary Doctor would be a feat; surpassing most doctors.”
Ge Liang, eager not to be left out, quickly interjected, “Legendary Doctor, how much do you want for the surgery? I will have the fee transferred to your bank account.”
Gu Dai began, “I don’t want the…”
She paused mid-sentence, suddenly recalling that the surgery was performed for Song Yu.
Although she was willing to overlook past grievances for the sake of her medical ethics, she couldn’t let this go unrewarded.
Lifting her eyes, she spoke in a calm, detached tone, “I will send you a bank account number. Have the patient’s family transfer 1 billion to me.”
1 billion!
Shocked, Ge Liang hurriedly agreed, “Of course, I’ll inform the patient’s family.”
As Gu Dai turned and strode away through a side door.
Seeing her figure vanish, Ge Liang couldn’t help but murmur, watching her retreating figure, “If only the Legendary Doctor could work in my hospital.”
The chief physician was quick to bring him back to reality, “Director, don’t daydream. With a surgery fee of 1 billion, you can’t afford her. Even if you could, she doesn’t need the money.”
Jolted back to the harsh reality, Ge Liang’s frustration was palpable, “Can’t I even dream about it?”
His phone chimed. He looked at it to find a string of bank account numbers, and remembering Song Ling waiting, he stepped out.
Song Ling, with a face creased in smiles, eagerly asked, “Was the surgery successful?”
Ge Liang nodded vigorously, “Yes, Miss Song Yu’s uterus has been successfully repaired. She’ll be like any normal person after some rest and recovery!”
Wang Lan, who had just opened her eyes, fainted again from sheer excitement upon hearing this.
Song Ling, relieved at the news, let out a sigh of relief.
Then Ge Liang took out the bank account number and said, “President Song, this is the Legendary Doctor’s account number. She wants you to transfer 1 billion as the surgery fee.
Faced with the reality of the surgery fee, Song Ling commented while frowning, “That’s expensive”.
As he raised his eyes back to Ge Liang, he asked eagerly, “Did you just say Legendary Doctor?
Ge Liang nodded his head and replied, “Yes”.
Song Ling’s eyebrows trembled and he asked in disbelief: “Is the Legendary doctor you are talking about Aurora?”
Ge Liang was not surprised at all when he saw Song Ling’s excitement and nodded again, “Yes, that’s her.”
Without hesitation, Song Ling instructed Zhao Xuan to transfer the 1 billion.
Ge Liang started to say, “The Legendary doctor’s medical skills are amazing, and she looks so young. It’s really…”
Song Ling, not interested in Ge Liang’s ramblings, suddenly grabbed him by the collar, demanding, “Where is she now? I must see her!”
Terrified, Ge Liang replied in a trembling voice, “The Legendary Doctor left right after the surgery.”
Furious, Song Ling released him sharply, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Ge Liang defended himself, “You said you didn’t care who the doctor was, as long as the surgery was successful. Besides, the Legendary Doctor didn’t want her information disclosed…”
Song Ling, not really listening, snatched Ge Liang’s phone.
Opening his call log, he pointed to the phone number he dialed a few hours ago and asked, “Is this the Legendary Doctor’s number?”
Then, without waiting for Ge Liang to answer, he dialed it.
Gu Dai, weary from hours of surgery and with an itchy throat, answered the call reluctantly, “What is it now?”
“It’s Song Ling, Legendary Doctor, do you remember the time you saved…” But the phone call was disconnected.
Staring at the disconnected call, Song Ling’s expression darkened. When he tried calling again, the number was unreachable.
In a cold voice, he handed the phone back to Ge Liang, “Get out!”
Ge Liang lamented internally, having lost the precious contact number due to Song Ling’s actions.
Meanwhile, Gu Dai snapped her SIM card in two. She hadn’t expected Song Ling on the other end of the call. If she had known, she wouldn’t have answered.
After all, the bank transfer had already been completed; there was no need for further contact.
Song Ling, his gaze lowered, couldn’t shake the feeling that the Legendary Doctor’s voice had sounded strangely similar to Gu Dai’s, despite just a few words of interactions..
