After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter 42 Vegetative State?

"Doctor, how is my mother?" I asked anxiously.

"Who are you?" the doctor asked, looking at me with a puzzled expression.

"I'm the patient's daughter," I explained. "Doctor, how is my mother?"

I was extremely anxious.

This kind of thing didn't happen in my past life.

But everything changed after I was reborn.

My home has changed, my parents have changed, and Gu Heng's identity has changed too.

All of this was beyond the scope of my understanding in my previous life.

"The patient's condition is stable for now, but it depends on whether the patient can survive the next forty-eight hours." The doctor looked at me meaningfully: "And you should also be prepared that even if the patient is out of danger, there is a possibility that the patient may become... a vegetable."

"What did you say?" I was shocked.

The doctor explained, "Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out, so don't get too excited."

How could I not be excited?

"Doctor, is there anything you can do?" I don't want to give up.

I know the doctor said that because my mother's injuries were too severe.

"If you can find Professor Ming and start treatment in the early stages of the injury, there might still be hope," the doctor pointed out a promising path.

"Who is Professor Ming?" Xia Zhe didn't recognize him.

"Professor Ming Zheming of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the most famous TCM doctor. He has a unique acupuncture treatment method that has cured several people in a vegetative state with remarkable results," I replied.

"Then I'll go find it!" Xia Zhe said anxiously.

“It’s no use you going. Professor Ming has a very strange temper.” I sighed. “Xia Zhe, you stay in Haicheng and take care of my mother. Call me if anything happens, and I’ll go find Professor Ming.”

"Young Miss, are you going to Xinjing City?" Xia Zhe looked at me worriedly: "You'd better not go, it's too dangerous."

I frowned slightly: "Are you afraid that the Gu family will be a threat to me?"

Xia Zhe was taken aback.

"Did you and Mom already know about the Gu family all along?" I questioned.

"Miss, please don't ask anymore." Xia Zhe looked troubled.

“Okay, I won’t ask.” I said in a low voice, “Anyway, call me if anything happens here, and I’ll leave now.”

"Miss, please take two bodyguards with you," Xia Zhe instructed. "Otherwise, I won't be able to explain this to President Han."

"No need." I gently shook my head: "Professor Ming is not in Xinjing City, so don't worry."

After saying that, I turned and left.

I booked my plane ticket while I was on the way.

When I got home, my aunt had already helped me unpack my luggage.

I went out.

Mu Xi parked the car just in time. "I'll take you to the airport!"

I got on the bus.

Mu Xi was driving. "I heard about Auntie's situation from my dad and went to the hospital immediately. Xia Zhe told me that you should go see Professor Ming."

“Professor Ming is very skilled. If he had been involved in the early stages of treatment, my mother might have recovered much faster,” I explained.

"I will never stop you from doing what you want to do." Mu Xi said, "I just didn't expect the Gu family to do this. Gu Heng likes you, but you don't like him. Why should the Gu family treat you like this? If they are so worried about Gu Heng marrying you, why don't they just get engaged to him now?"

“I’m not clear about the internal strife within the Gu family, but this matter is definitely not that simple.” I’m not quite sure either: “Gu Heng just arrived at the Gu family, so he shouldn’t dare to go against the wishes of the Gu family elders.”

“But I’m worried that he might have said something that made the Gu family wary of you,” Mu Xi said in a deep voice. “I’ll go and find out more for you.”

"Yes, Mu Xi, thank you for your hard work," I said.

"Don't be so polite with me." Mu Xi sped up.

We arrived at the airport very quickly.

She escorted me to the check-in gate.

I dragged my suitcase to complete the formalities.

Half an hour later.

I boarded the plane.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, I flew to Kunming.

After getting off the plane, I immediately took a taxi to one of Professor Ming's workstations here.

The reason I know all this is because in my past life, Gu Heng's mother became paralyzed.

Gu Heng was very worried about this. At that time, he seemed to have encountered a lot of trouble in the business world, and he was in a bad mood every day.

In an effort to make him happy, I tried everything and eventually learned of Professor Ming's existence.

I went to great lengths to get Professor Ming to help me.

Professor Ming was over sixty years old at the time and had an eccentric temperament.

To test me, he brought me to this workstation and made me dig for herbs and catch insects every day.

I'm terrified of those plump little bugs, but he makes me catch them every day.

It took him more than a month to agree.

However, he didn't do it himself; instead, he wanted to teach me.

I don't know if I really have a talent for this, but I learned it so quickly.

Moreover, the acupoints were located very accurately.

He was very surprised at the time, and said that as long as I nodded, he could make an exception and take me as his student, and he could handle things with the school.

But I need to learn from him properly for a few years.

But I refused.

Because I don't want to leave Gu Heng.

Therefore, I refused outright.

For the first time, the usually eccentric professor showed a sad and helpless expression.

Later, after Professor Ming passed away, one of his students told me that after I left, he always thought of me and would often mention me.

Then, one of my parents died and the other went insane, which made me see Gu Heng's true colors.

It was then that I realized that after living for almost thirty years, I had no sense of self at all.

No career, no friends, nothing.

Therefore, after my rebirth, I have always been very clear about my goals: I want to go to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and follow Professor Ming.

"Young lady, who are you looking for?" A man stood behind me. "I've seen you looking around for a long time."

I snapped out of my daze and turned to look at him.

I then realized that the man in front of me was the one who later mentioned Professor Ming to me; his name was Dai Chen'an.

Dai Chen'an looked refined and gentle, wearing black-rimmed glasses, a light blue shirt, and washed-blue jeans. He looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"I'm here to see Professor Mingzhe." I cracked my knuckles. "Could you tell him for me that someone named Shen Yan is looking for him?"

"Shen Yan?" Dai Chen'an asked in surprise, "You're Shen Yan?"

I nodded, utterly puzzled: "Do you know me?"

“Yes, I know him,” Dai Chen’an said with a smile. “Didn’t you apply to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine? Professor Ming already knew about it; you were number one.”

It turned out to be the case.

"You wait here." Dai Chen'an remained a warm and kind person.

I stood at the door and waited patiently.

after awhile.

Dai Chen'an came out, somewhat helplessly: "He said he's busy right now."

“I can wait,” I explained. “Please tell him that I came to him to save my mother and hope he can see me.”

"What happened to your mother?" Dai Chen'an asked curiously.

"She was attacked and injured her head. The doctor said she might become a vegetable." My eyes reddened as I spoke.

"Don't cry." Dai Chen'an was a little flustered when she saw my eyes were red. "I'll go talk to her again."
