The girl talking to Gu Xiyue on the phone is named Yu Luowan, the daughter of Gu Xiyue’s maternal uncle, Yu Yuanshan, making her a cousin by blood.
"I remember you are a brilliant healer. My cousin is at death’s door. Could you come to Jiang City and save her?" Yu Luowan said, and started sobbing uncontrollably again.
As Gu Xiyue listened to her crying, she raised her hand to rub her temples, "What happened? Is it an injury or some illness?"
The only person Yu Luowan could be referring to as her cousin, on Gu Xiyue’s father’s side, would likely be Gu Yuluo.
But from the sound of it, the cousin she mentioned wasn’t Gu Yuluo; it must be a relative from her mother’s side.
"I have no idea. She just keeps getting weaker and weaker. Many famous doctors have seen her, and even a Divine Healer from the Medical Alliance had a look, but nothing helped," Yu Luowan continued between sobs. "She is now in a coma, and the doctors said if she doesn’t wake up within twenty-four hours, she may never wake up again."
Hearing this, Gu Xiyue’s gaze slightly lowered, and she didn’t speak.
Gu Xiyue stayed silent for a long time, prompting Yu Luowan to sob even more, "Before, those doctors couldn’t cure Grandpa either, but in the end, you were able to heal him, weren’t you?"
"Since you could heal Grandpa, your medical skills must be superb. So, can you please come and have a look? Just a look. Even if you can’t save her, it would at least let me come to terms with it, wuwuwu..."
As she spoke, Yu Luowan began to cry with wailing sobs.
Listenting to this, Gu Xiyue finally let out a gentle sigh, "Alright, I’ll make sure to come over tomorrow."
"Really?" The voice was heavily nasal, sounding somewhat slurred.
"Yes, I’ll head over overnight."
"Are you in Haicheng? Your elder brother is also coming. You can come with him," Yu Luowan suggested excitedly, remembering something important.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyue paused momentarily, "He’s going, too?"
He’s not a doctor; what is he going there for?
Yu Luowan, sensing Gu Xiyue’s confusion, continued excitedly, "You’ve just returned, so it’s normal that you don’t know. My cousin is Luo Fenghe, and she’s Brother Huaijin’s fiancée. However, they had a falling out and haven’t really been in touch for nearly a year."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiyue understood.
After hanging up the call from Yu Luowan, Gu Xiyue began packing her things and left Yueqi Village overnight.
Jiang City, the Luo Family.
It was already three in the morning, but the crystal chandelier in the living room was still shining brightly, harshly illuminating the space.
Under the crystal chandelier sat a middle-aged man who couldn’t stop yawning.
This man is Luo Ning, the current patriarch of the Jiang City Luo Family.
Sitting beside Luo Ning was a well-maintained middle-aged woman, his second wife, named Jiang Fen.
Unlike the listless and sleepy man, Jiang Fen was full of energy and kept glancing upstairs.
After all, she had been eagerly awaiting this day for too long.
Ever since Luo Fenghe’s health began to deteriorate, she had been hoping for her death, so that her daughter would become the sole heir to the Luo Family.
Sitting next to Jiang Fen was a young woman around twenty, Luo Tian and Jiang Fen’s daughter, the second young miss of the Luo Family, Luo Shuangshuang.
At that moment, Luo Shuangshuang held a phone in her hands, typing and chatting away, sharing the news of Luo Fenghe’s impending death with her group of friends, her eyes brimming with joy and schadenfreude.
If Luo Fenghe died, she would become the sole young miss of the Luo Family.
Not knowing what had amused her, the young woman’s smile grew even more radiant.
"Doctor Luo, thank you for making the trip."
"Madam Yu, you’re too kind."
Low voices of conversation floated down from upstairs, and upon hearing this, Luo Ning, who had been yawning and dozing on the sofa, suddenly perked up, lifting his eyes to look in the direction of the staircase.
