Chapter 106: Treatment

Zhou Ci’s face changed abruptly, and he stood up suddenly with a swift motion, rushing out of the room. Gu Dai and Meng Zhi followed him closely with quick steps.

By the time the three of them arrived, Zhou Ye had already collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Gu Dai’s expression turned serious as she crouched down beside Zhou Ye to examine him.

After inspecting his pupils, she had a rough idea of what might be going on. However, to be certain, she needed to conduct further examinations. Gu Dai reached out to unbutton Zhou Ye’s shirt, but her hand was suddenly seized by Zhou Ci.

With a cold voice and a steely grip, Zhou Ci pulled her hand away and angrily demanded, “What are you doing?”

Zhou Ci had been so preoccupied with calling the driver to bring up medicine and dialing an ambulance that he hadn’t expected to see Gu Dai fumbling around with his grandfather upon his return.

Zhou Ci’s grip was strong, and when he released her, Gu Dai’s wrist bore a red mark, accompanied by a bone-deep, throbbing pain.

Meng Zhi’s face darkened as he strode forward and gently massaged Gu Dai’s hand, his eyes locked coldly onto Zhou Ci. “Daidai is trying to save your grandfather,” he said. “Step aside and stop causing trouble.”

Zhou Ci had never heard of Gu Dai possessing any medical knowledge, so he remained obstinate, positioning himself in front of Zhou Ye. He challenged her, “The driver will be here with the medicine soon. My grandfather will be fine once he takes it. There’s no need for you to treat him like a lab rat!”

Taking a deep breath to suppress her impulse to smack Zhou Ci, Gu Dai explained, “Your grandfather is already unconscious. Even if the medicine arrives, he won’t be able to swallow it. His condition is critical, and if you don’t move out of the way, his life could be in danger.”

Just then, the driver arrived, panting heavily from running. Seeing Zhou Ci, he called out, “Young Master, I’ve brought the medicine.”

Without hesitation, Zhou Ci took the medicine and tried to place it in Zhou Ye’s mouth.

However, Zhou Ye’s mouth was tightly shut, and even with considerable effort, he wouldn’t swallow the medicine.

Seeing this, Zhou Ci’s heart raced with urgency, especially when the hospital called to inform him that traffic was heavy and the ambulance would be delayed.

Sweat beaded on his forehead and Zhou Ci grew frantic. “What should we do? What should we do?”

Gu Dai could no longer stand Zhou Ci’s interference. She conveyed the urgency of the situation to Meng Zhi, “Third Brother, if we don’t treat him immediately, it might be too late to save him.”

Meng Zhi nodded in understanding. “Don’t worry, Daidai, I know what to do.”

With that, Meng Zhi strode forward, his hands closing around Zhou Ci’s collar. He yanked him away from Zhou Ye’s side.

For a moment, Zhou Ci was dazed by the sudden action, but as soon as he saw Gu Dai approaching Zhou Ye, he snapped back to his senses, exclaiming angrily, “Gu Dai, stop! If anything happens to my grandfather, 1 won’t forgive… mmph!”

Before Zhou Ci could finish speaking, Meng Zhi covered his mouth.

He sternly warning, “Behave yourself. Daidai is trying to save your grandfather. Don’t interfere!”

Despite Meng Zhi’s admonishment, Zhou Ci struggled against his restraint.

Fearing that Zhou Ci’s disruption might hamper Gu Dai’s efforts, Meng Zhi resorted to landing a few punches on him.

Feeling the stinging pain on his face, Zhou Ci finally calmed down, but his eyes remained riveted on Gu Dai’s every move. Gradually, he realized that her actions mirrored those he had seen in medical textbooks, appearing incredibly professional.

Could it be that Gu Dai really knew medical procedures?

Throughout the entire process, Gu Dai ignored the commotion around her, focusing solely on Zhou Ye’s condition. Suddenly, she sensed that his breathing was slowing down.

Her face turned solemn, and she looked up at Zhou Ci, asking urgently, “What medicine has he been taking?”

Without hesitation, Zhou Ci told her all the medications Zhou Ye had been on.

Gu Dai nodded, confirming her assessment of Zhou Ye’s condition. Wasting no time, she found the right spot on his chest, interlaced her hands, and began performing chest compressions, undeterred by the fact that she was kneeling on the ground.

Zhou Ci, witnessing this, became alarmed. His eyes reddened with anxiety as he shouted, “My grandfather had coronary bypass surgery! The doctor said he shouldn’t receive compressions like this! Gu Dai, stop!”

But Zhou Ci was held back by Meng Zhi, unable to move the slightest inch.

At that moment, he deeply regretted not having stopped Gu Dai earlier, wishing he had never trusted her.

Meng Zhi’s eyes remained locked on Gu Dai as he calmly reassured Zhou Ci, “Trust Daidai. She knows what she’s doing..”
