The Great Doctor Girl

The next morning, I rushed to the hospital to take care of Huang Junze.

His complexion had obviously improved, no longer as lifeless as yesterday, and his originally pale face was now slightly rosy.

I sat down beside his bed, gently lifted his wrist, and, drawing on years of experience, felt his pulse. The moment my fingertips touched his pulse, I held my breath, carefully sensing the signal it conveyed. At first, the pulse was faint, but gradually the rhythm became steady and strong. It was a stark difference from the previous, erratic, weak pulse. After repeated checks, I felt certain the toxins had been largely eliminated.

However, the drug Su Yao gave him was far too potent. It wasn't just an ordinary aphrodisiac; it was mixed with life-threatening ingredients. Otherwise, Huang Junze wouldn't have fallen into such a serious condition. Even though I felt he was fine based on my own judgment, this was a matter of life and death, so I didn't dare slack off and decided to consult the chief physician for more details.

I hurried out of the ward and headed straight to the doctor's office. "Doctor, how is Huang Junze recovering? He was poisoned in a special way, and I'm still very worried." I stood in front of the doctor, trying to calm myself, but I couldn't hide my anxiety.

The doctor pulled out Huang Junze's medical records from among the many, and after carefully reviewing them, a look of relief crossed his face. He said, "His recovery is better than expected. Previously, the toxin levels in his body were extremely high, but after these few days of emergency treatment, most of the toxins have been expelled, and his vital signs are stabilizing. With continued care, he shouldn't have any major problems."

After hearing this, I felt a little relieved, but I still asked, "Really? What should I pay special attention to after that? Will there be any sequelae?" The doctor patiently answered one by one, from dietary taboos to recovery points. I listened very carefully and took notes on my mobile phone from time to time.

Only after confirming that Huang Junze was out of danger did I feel completely relieved.

Huang Junze looked at me coming and instantly became energetic. He hurriedly got out of bed and shouted, "Wife, I'm almost fine now. Look, I'm so lively! Let's be discharged from the hospital today!" As he spoke, he jumped a few times in front of me like a little child, completely losing the weak look that he had shown in the past few days as he was tortured to death by the poisonous aphrodisiac.

Furious and distressed, I hurried over to help him sit down. I gently tapped his forehead and chided him, "Stop messing around! It's a wonder you're recovering so quickly after being given such a strong drug. The doctor said that although most of the toxins have been expelled, you still need to stay in the hospital for two more days for observation and recovery. You've only just escaped danger, so why don't you take your health seriously?"

Huang Junze held my hands tightly, his eyes full of pleading, and said pitifully, "Wife, this hospital is so stuffy, I can't stand it even for a minute. With you by my side, I will definitely be obedient. I promise to take good care of myself when I get home and won't make any trouble."

I feigned anger, put on a stern face, and said seriously, "No, I have the final say in this matter! Just stay here for two days and get yourself back to health. Don't go anywhere. If you don't obey me, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!"

As he spoke, there was a gentle knock on the office door, and his special assistant hurried into the ward, carrying a thick stack of documents. Seeing Huang Junze in good spirits, the assistant's tense expression instantly relaxed. He smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, you've recovered incredibly quickly. Everyone in the company is eagerly awaiting your return to take charge. Here, there are a number of urgent documents that require your signature."

Huang Junze reached out to take the document, but I quickly grabbed his arm, glared at him, and said, "Don't forget that you're still a patient. The most urgent thing is to recover. Put work aside for now."

Huang Junze looked at me helplessly, then looked at his special assistant, spread his hands, shrugged, and said with a wry smile, "See? My wife has the final say at home now. If she doesn't let me sign, there's nothing I can do."

The special assistant looked troubled and said cautiously, "Boss Huang, these documents are extremely urgent. If they can be signed as soon as possible, the project at the company can proceed smoothly."

I glanced at my special assistant, then at Huang Junze, who looked helpless. After hesitating for a moment, I softened my heart and said, "Okay, just this once! But you have to promise me that after signing, you'll have a good rest and stop worrying about company matters. If you dare not obey, you'll be in trouble in the future!"

Huang Junze nodded hurriedly, took the document, and quickly scanned it. After signing, he handed it back to his special assistant and said, "Alright, you can go back to the company first. Tell everyone not to bother me for the next two days. I'll focus on my work after I'm discharged from the hospital."

After the special assistant left, the ward fell silent, leaving only the two of us. I sat down beside his bed and gently tucked him in, my tone tinged with worry and complaint. "You've got to be more careful in the business world. If you hadn't discovered it in time, I can't imagine what the consequences would have been. Don't be so focused on work anymore. Think more about your own safety and our family."

Huang Junze held my hand tightly, his eyes firm yet gentle as he looked at me and said, "Wife, this incident has sounded the alarm for me. I know I was wrong. After this ordeal, I have finally come to the realization that nothing in this world is more important than you and our family. When I'm discharged from the hospital, I will definitely spend more time with you and make up for all the neglect I've done."

I leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "That's better. If you act so recklessly again and don't pay attention to your own safety, I will really punish you."

Huang Junze smiled and kissed me on the forehead, saying gently: "With you here, I will definitely remember this. From now on, I will make sure you are happy every day." A warm atmosphere filled the ward.

Two days later, Huang Junze was discharged from the hospital as he had wished. During this period, life gradually returned to normal on the surface, but secretly, my family and I had been closely monitoring Su Yao. Under our control, she maintained contact with Chen Xuanfeng, passing on the false information we had carefully fabricated.

Finally, the agreed day arrived.

Huang Junze, like a stubborn child, was determined to follow me to meet Chen Xuanfeng. He had just recovered from a serious illness and was far from his former strength. Looking at his still pale face, I was filled with worry.

"Junze, just listen to me this time and wait for news at home." I advised earnestly, my eyes full of worry and concern, "You have just recovered, so you should stay at home and wait for my news!"

Huang Junze disagreed. He tightly grasped my arm with both hands, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination. He said, "No, this matter is of vital importance to me. I'm not just doing this for myself. As a man, how can I let you face danger alone? Those people dared to do such a cruel thing to me. I must be there!" He paused slightly, a trace of pain and unwillingness flashed in his eyes. "Besides, I have always been known for my courage in the business world. If I hide at home after being plotted against this time, how can I face the future? I must go. This is my dignity!"

I sighed helplessly, trying to calm him down. "I understand how you feel, but you can't really help much when fighting these people. This isn't the time to be bravado. I can handle it more flexibly."

"Honey, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I can't let you face these dangers alone." He frowned, a hint of anxiety in his tone. "What if they get desperate? I'd be worried. Remember those tough times we went through together when we first started this business? No matter how big or small the difficulties were, we always faced them side by side. This time, I want to be by your side, too."

"Mom is here, everything will be fine. You staying home is the greatest support and guarantee for me." I held his face in my hands and looked into his eyes seriously. "If you take care of yourself, I can be free to worry about anything outside. Trust me, I can handle it."

Huang Junze was silent for a long time, the struggle in his eyes clearly visible. Finally, he nodded gently, though reluctantly, but still compromised, "Then you must promise me that you will keep in touch and tell me immediately if anything happens. Don't force yourself to do anything in danger. Safety first."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." I kissed him on the forehead, reassuring him. "Rest well at home and wait for my triumphant return."

Before leaving, I couldn't help but look back at him deeply and gave him an affirmative nod.

The night was shrouded in darkness, the moonlight was as frosty as ice, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. Only the sound of the wind whistled through the trees, sending a chill up one's spine.

My mother and I, along with our companions, all dressed in black, crept quietly like ghosts to a deserted private estate on the outskirts of the city.

Su Yao took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and stepped into the abandoned private manor as planned. The iron gate of the manor was crooked and half-open, and the iron chain had long been rusted. It made a harsh creaking sound when touched lightly, as if telling the secrets of the past.

Upon entering the manor, a pungent odor of decaying vegetation and damp mold hit me. The first thing I saw was a fountain, now dry and moss-covered, scattered around with broken porcelain and withered plants. The once meticulously manicured gardens were now overgrown with weeds, overgrown and rampant, nearly devouring the once vibrant flowers.

Walking along the gravel path, streetlights flanked me, their shades shattered, their glass shards glinting coldly on the ground. The main building's exterior was covered in mottled vines, like countless twisted hands. Some windows were shattered, and a cold wind howled in, carrying the smell of dust and making a sound like ghosts howling. In the distance, the occasional hooting of an owl added a touch of eeriness.
