<strong>Chapter 906: Chapter 894: Zhan Qipei Faints from Stomach Pain, Refusing to Let Go of Qiao Jing</strong>
For a moment, Qiao Jing’s expression was a bit awkward.
Facing the awkwardness, she confessed to the owner, “I’m really sorry, I forgot to bring money when I came out… Can I go back now, grab the money ande back right away?”
The owner, instead of suspecting Qiao Jing of making an excuse to escape, waved his hand repeatedly and said with a smile, “It’s alright, there’s no hurry, you can give it to me the next time youe by.”
At this moment, Zhan Qipei lifted his eyes and suddenly said, “Owner, put her bowl on my tab.”
Seeing the two sitting at the same table and hearing what Zhan Qipei said, the owner assumed they knew each other, so he replied, “Alright.”
After saying this, the owner turned and walked away to continue his work.
Qiao Jing did not expect President Zhan to offer help so enthusiastically. After a slight surprise, she sincerely thanked him, “Thank you.”
After expressing her gratitude, Qiao Jing didn’t forget to add, “I’ll pay you back.”
“No need,” Zhan Qipei refused immediately.
Seeing his firm refusal, Qiao Jing was taken aback for a moment.
Judging from his attitude, did he think she was trying to use the opportunity of repaying him to build a rtionship with him?!
If that’s the case, then she should wait until the next time she sees Miss Zhan to ask her to hand over the money, so as to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings…
Thinking this, Qiao Jing nned to leave first.
However, just as she turned around, there was a sudden “bang——” sound from behind.
Out of instinct, she turned back and saw that the man who had been sitting upright had inexplicably fallen from the chair and was now half-kneeling on the ground.
Zhan Qipei was holding the edge of the table with one hand and clutching his stomach with the other, gritting his teeth to endure the sudden severe gastric pain.
During the years Qiao Jing was away, his meals were never regr. If it weren’t for the thought of the three little ones, he wouldn’t even be able to eat.
Moreover, he drank excessively without restraint during every social engagement.
These bad habits led him to develop a gastric problem two years ago…
However, Zhan Qipei never expected the gastric problem to re up at this moment.
Upon hearing themotion, the owner rushed out of the kitchen, and seeing Zhan Qipei in such a state, hurriedly said, “Young man, hold on, hang in there, I’ll call an ambnce for you right away!”
With that, the owner quickly took out his phone and dialed 120.
Qiao Jing, seeing Zhan Qipei in this state, also guessed that he must have a severe gastric issue, which was why the episode was sudden.
At this moment, Zhan Qipei’s eyebrows were furrowed tightly, ayer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his handsome face was pale, clearly tormented by the pain.
Seeing him in such difort, Qiao Jing felt a pang in her chest too.
After a moment of hesitation, she offered, “Why don’t you let me try? Maybe I can help ease the pain temporarily.”
Suppressing the pain, Zhan Qipei nced at her andboriously uttered, “You, you know… know medicine?”
Qiao Jing wasn’t sure if she knew medicine in the past, but seeing his gastric problem act up, some relief methods suddenly shed in her mind.
“Let me try,” she said.
After saying this, Qiao Jing squatted down, intending to give it a try.
However, just as she reached out, Zhan Qipei stopped her.
His pale lips moved slightly as he spoke slowly, “No, need.”
Qiao Jing thought it was because he didn’t trust her, so she patiently said, “Your condition is very serious right now. Let me try; I won’t harm you…”
“No one else is allowed to touch me except her.”
Zhan Qipei gritted his teeth and said aloud.
After saying this, he suddenly lost strength, and the severe pain from his stomach caused him to fall to the ground, his tall body curling up uncontrobly.
Upon hearing his words, Qiao Jing realized he wasn’t distrusting her; he despised her.
But seeing him in so much pain that he was almost semi-conscious, the situation became urgent, and Qiao Jing couldn’t care any more.
She apologized, saying, “Sorry,” then reached out again, skillfully pressing the acupoints around his stomach to relieve the pain.
The gastric pain eased somewhat, and Zhan Qipei forced himself to open his eyes a little. In the blur, he saw the girl’s figure.
The scene in front of him reminded him of the time when Qiao Jing performed surgery on him…
Involuntarily, Zhan Qipei murmured in a low voice, “Qiao Jing…”
Qiao Jing thought he called “Qiao Jing” and instinctively replied, “Mm, it’s me. I’ll relieve you a bit first; the ambnce will arrive soon.”
Hearing her acknowledgment, a pale smile appeared on Zhan Qipei’s face.
Beforepletely losing consciousness, he grabbed Qiao Jing’s wrist, and hisrge hand, like an iron mp, held tightly onto Qiao Jing.
Soon, the ambnce arrived.
Qiao Jing boarded the ambnce with Zhan Qipei.
It’s not that Qiao Jing wanted to go with him, but she had no choice.
Her hand was sped tightly by the man, and she couldn’t break free!
On the way to the hospital, the unconscious Zhan Qipei kept muttering something.
His voice was so low it was almost inaudible.
Qiao Jing leaned in closer and realized he was repeatedly calling out a name.
“Qiao Jing, Qiao Jing…”
The low words were filled with endless longing.
Only then did Qiao Jing realize that the man was calling his wife’s name, the Zhan family’s young mistress who had been missing for several years.
That shout in the noodle shop just now was the same…
A momentter, the ambnce arrived at the hospital.
Qiao Jing followed all the way to the operating room.
At the door of the operating room, medical staff stopped her.
“Family member, the patient needs surgery in this condition; you can’t go in. Please wait patiently outside.”
Qiao Jing raised the hand that Zhan Qipei had gripped tightly and said helplessly, “It’s not that I want to go in, it’s that he won’t let go of my hand. I can’t help it.”
Who could have thought that this man would have such strength even when unconscious, gripping so tightly that they couldn’t pry him off!
“But it’s hospital policy that family members can’t apany during surgery.”
The medical staff looked troubled, “Maybe you should try again to see if you can make the patient let go.”
“I’ve tried, it’s really not working…”
Qiao Jing looked embarrassed, not knowing how to exin.
Just then, Lu Zijin came over in a white coat.
He was the chief surgeon for this operation.
Approaching, Lu Zijin found that the patient needing surgery was an old acquaintance.
He had only received a message that a gastric patient needed emergency surgery, without knowing it was Zhan Qipei!
He was aware that Zhan Qipei had gastric issues, but it wasn’t this severe a few months ago. Who knew it would worsen to this extent in such a short time!
How much does this person not care about himself?!
