Chapter 295: This Will Be the End of Him
It would all be pinned on her.
Just now, she had told everyone her name and workplace address. If it got leaked online, she’d definitely be attacked, and it would drag down the company’s stock prices too!
Lin Qingxiu forced herself to stay calm, “This old man’s condition worsened due to his pre-existing illness; professional equipment is needed to handle it. Right now, we can only wait for the ambulance.”
But the bystanders wouldn’t buy her explanation.
“Is it that you couldn’t treat him, or simply didn’t know how? You know full well. Hmph, I thought with your confident demeanor, you could actually cure him. But in the end, not only did the disease remain untreated, but the old man’s condition worsened.”
Lin Qingxiu’s face turned pale and flushed alternately as she lost control and shouted, “It’s his own issue! What does it have to do with me?”
At this moment, several black-clad bodyguards pushed through the crowd.
Seeing the elderly man lying on the ground, their eyes widened in shock.
“Master!” They looked panicked, hurriedly taking out medicine they carried with them to give to the old man, but it was useless.
A middle-aged woman reminded them, “When this gentleman fell earlier, his condition wasn’t this severe. This woman claimed to be a doctoral student from Yun Medical College and went to treat him, and after her treatment, he ended up like this.”
The bodyguards glared coldly at Lin Qingxiu.
“This has nothing to do with me!” Lin Qingxiu gritted her teeth, “I just wanted to help, his condition worsened on its own. What does it have to do with me?”
“Miss, every time our master falls ill, one pill is enough to make him better. Now that it’s like this, and you still claim it’s not related to you?” The bodyguards’ gaze was murderous.
“I’ll take a look.”
Another authoritative medical expert entered.
Fortunately, he happened to be the old man’s primary doctor.
Upon seeing him, the bodyguards immediately became anxious, “Doctor Chen, please check our master. I gave him the medicine, but his condition hasn’t improved.”
Doctor Chen squatted down and began examining the old man.
In twenty seconds, his eyebrows furrowed sharply, his expression grave.
Brother Lin Xuan remained quietly standing to the side.
He remembered, in the previous life, this incident about the old man was reported, and Lin Qingxiu didn’t appear to treat him. It was Doctor Chen who arrived, gave the old man medicine, and the old man quickly woke up.
Lin Xuan shook his head.
Lin Qingxiu, in order to show off in front of him, dug her own grave.
“Doctor Chen, how is he?” The bodyguards asked anxiously.
Doctor Chen looked at Lin Qingxiu with a grim expression, “Did you attempt to treat him?”
“Yes.” Lin Qingxiu was startled by Doctor Chen’s expression, but soon she thought about it—she was a doctor trying to save lives; what was wrong with that?
“Just now, seeing him lying there in critical condition, I couldn’t just stand by and watch him die. As a doctor, I took action and treated him according to his condition,” Lin Qingxiu said confidently.
Doctor Chen’s expression grew even grimmer.
He noticed an empty bottle of medicine on the ground, picked it up, “Did you give him this?”
“Yes, I happened to have it with me. His symptoms matched the criteria, so I gave it to him.” Lin Qingxiu nodded.
“He doesn’t have the illness you think he does; it’s merely similar! Do you realize that giving him this could kill him!” Doctor Chen roared angrily.
A curious passerby asked, “Miss, which hospital are you from? Your medical skills are amazing. If I ever have minor health issues in the future, I want to see you.”
“I am a doctor at Yundu Second Hospital, my name is Lin Qingxiu.” Lin Qingxiu smiled in response.
“Oh, so you’re Doctor Lin, truly impressive.”
“She looks only in her twenties, yet her medical skills are already so good, and she’s also very beautiful. Truly young and talented,” an older sister praised generously.
Hearing the praise around her, Lin Qingxiu couldn’t help but smile smugly.
She caught sight of a journalist filming her out of the corner of her eye and stood even straighter.
She even brushed her hair hanging beside her cheek behind her ear, exposing her pretty face to the camera.
There have been many instances online where doctors saving people became viral sensations. As the daughter of Starlight Group, if her act of saving someone became popular online, it would certainly go viral.
And since Dad was worried about the falling stock prices of the company, this would be a great way to boost them.
The journalist asked, “Miss, I remember Chairman Lin Chang of Starlight Group’s third daughter is named Lin Qingxiu. What’s your relationship with Chairman Lin…?”
“Lin Chang is my dad.” Lin Qingxiu replied.
The journalist smiled, “Truly, a tiger father does not have a dog for a daughter.”
“Lin Xuan.” Lin Qingxiu shifted her gaze back to Lin Xuan and sneered, “You ungrateful brat, next time I will absolutely refuse to help you!”
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure you were helping me, and not just eager to mock me? Lin Qingxiu, I’ve seen through your tricks since we were kids. Stop flattering yourself.”
“Lin Xuan, you—”
Lin Qingxiu was caught red-handed, seething with anger.
“Alright, alright, my effort to help you was like feeding a dog. Don’t think…”
Lin Qingxiu was about to say more when “Pfft—” Suddenly, the old man lying on the ground spat out a mouthful of blood.
“How is he spitting blood?”
Everyone gasped in alarm, “Didn’t they say he was cured? Why is he still spitting blood? And his face is so pale, deathly white.”
Lin Qingxiu froze.
Why is he spitting blood?
She hastily grabbed the old man’s hand and started checking his pulse again.
Lin Qingxiu’s hands began to tremble.
What is going on?
Why is his pulse so weak?
Lin Qingxiu’s mind went blank, unsure of what to do.
She started panicking and re-examining the old man’s condition.
But she couldn’t find any clues!
“It wasn’t this bad before. Not long after being treated by this young lady, he started spitting blood.”
One person’s words awakened the others.
“That’s right, it must be because of her that his condition worsened. I thought she was such a great doctor from Yundu Second Hospital, but this…this…is disappointing.”
“You don’t know, some doctors these days get into hospitals through backdoor connections, half-baked knowledge. She seems like one of those.”
“And she had the nerve to lecture that young man for overstepping. Looks like she’s the same kind.”
Lin Qingxiu’s face turned white.
What should she do now?
Regardless of whether it was her fault or not, the old man’s condition indeed worsened.
