Ji Yu mainly wanted to go back and rest well. Staying here would only make her feel more agitated.
Moreover, Xia Chuanhe seemed to be acting strangely, as he actually accepted this reality and hoped Ji Yu could give him a chance.
"Senior, did you misunderstand something? How could the relationship between the two of us develop to this point? Besides, I already have someone I like. I’m sure you’ve noticed."
She had never intended to hide her relationship with Gu Qixiao from others, so it seemed straightforward now.
"I only know that your mood isn’t very good at the moment. If being with someone still keeps your mood , then there’s really no need for you to be with him."
To him, being happy with someone you love was extremely important.
"Senior, I think you may have misunderstood something." The two of them were indeed very happy when together, but certain matters had made it impossible to feel joy.
"Yu, you don’t need to explain this to me. I believe deep down you’re clear about whether you’re happy or not. Besides, we don’t need to discuss this now—let’s wait until I’ve helped cure Auntie."
He strongly believed that as long as Ji Yu saw him as loving and dedicated, there was still a chance.
Looking at his departing figure, Ji Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless. She didn’t know what to say to make him stop obsessing over these matters.
Gu Qixiao had clearly noticed Xia Chuanhe’s presence, but he also understood Madam Ji’s condition was currently poor. If they wanted to treat Madam Ji, they could only endure for now.
"Yu, don’t worry. I understand how you feel deep down. I won’t get jealous over this matter."
If their relationship couldn’t withstand such a test, then there was no point in being together.
In fact, Ji Yu felt a bit uncomfortable; she didn’t want the people around her to make any concessions because of her.
"Gu Qixiao, I’m sorry. This time it’s my fault for making you suffer. I swear I won’t have feelings for him."
Moreover, the next phase of the treatment likely wouldn’t require his involvement.
When finally meeting this so-called legendary mentor, Ji Yu was slightly surprised.
"So it’s you, Professor Zhang."
They had previously met once, though their acquaintance wasn’t very deep.
Professor Zhang knew of Ji Yu’s abilities. Seeing the look on his student’s face, he immediately understood that Xia Chuanhe had feelings for Ji Yu. No wonder he had been so eager to call him over.
After a little exchange of pleasantries, they dove into the main topic—to check on Madam Ji’s specific condition.
"I’ve already reviewed the scans they sent over on the way here, but I still need to conduct another examination. Only up-to-date tests can accurately reflect the patient’s situation."
He wasn’t particularly confident about this matter.
It was well-known that car accidents resulting in comas could vary greatly in type, and once a situation occurred, it was often very difficult to recover.
"Professor Zhang, I want to know what my mother’s chances of recovery are."
"Based on what Xia mentioned earlier, there should be about a seventy percent chance of recovery. But this depends on the results of the upcoming tests—I can’t give you a guarantee."
To Ji Yu, though, seventy percent already sounded very promising.
The group headed to the hospital, and it was clear everyone was deeply anxious.
Gu Qixiao had arrived at the hospital early to wait.
Upon seeing Xia Chuanhe, he didn’t need any introductions to know who he was—anyone who could gaze at Ji Yu with such a look must be the "senior" she had mentioned before.
Xia Chuanhe was openly dissatisfied with the situation.
"Are you the person Yu likes?"
He dismissed the idea with disdain, believing the two of them could still develop further, despite the unsettling events of recent days.
"Senior, this is my fiancé." Ji Yu didn’t shy away from introducing Gu Qixiao. For more chapters visıt novel•fire.net
Gu Qixiao immediately felt an overwhelming sense of security.
"Yu, sometimes you shouldn’t rush. Determining relationships too quickly might lead to regret later."
The meaning behind his words was all too clear, and everyone nearby turned to look at him, evidently confused by his perspective.
Even Professor Zhang failed to understand why his student seemed so fond of Ji Yu, especially since she already had someone by her side.
"Let’s set this topic aside for now. It’s better to go and evaluate the patient’s condition. If the patient shows signs of improvement, we can proceed with the next step of treatment."
Car accidents inevitably caused physical damage. They still needed to confirm whether the patient had sustained any additional bodily trauma.
"The doctors didn’t find anything unusual during the previous check-ups."
Ji Yu was very familiar with Madam Ji’s condition, so when asked, she could respond fluently.
Professor Zhang recognized Ji Yu as a remarkable young woman, though seemingly unsuited for his student.
The main issue was that she already had someone by her side. Pursuing her now would feel like being the third party.
After inspecting Madam Ji’s condition, he quickly concluded she had a significant chance of waking up.
"As Xia said, this type of situation will require a craniotomy. If I’m the one performing the surgery, the success rate will definitely be higher. You can rest assured."
He was very invested in this matter.
However, speaking realistically, the surgery could inevitably result in some complications afterward.
"If that’s the case, let’s proceed."
Mr. Ji knew there were no other means to wake his wife. Surgery was the only option.
The sooner the operation was done, the sooner she could wake up—and hopefully recover faster.
"Thank you all for today. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to let us know at any time."
Mr. Ji understood the progress made today was largely thanks to Ji Yu.
After the others had left, he took Ji Yu’s hand.
"Yu, thank you for everything this time. Even though you’re my daughter, I’ve not handled things well, and it’s caused you a lot of suffering."
