"Hospital rooms can't be locked from the inside." Doctor Cen glanced at her, then seemed to recognize her. He said thoughtfully, "Are you a family member of the patient?"
Xia Chujian nodded, "Yes, I'm a family member. I'm very familiar with Doctor Shen Junyi."
Doctor Cen smiled, "I remember now, you're the niece of the patient Xia Yuanfang, right? Doctor Shen is away on leave for a few days due to some personal matters. I'm temporarily taking care of the patient in his place."
Xia Chujian said "Oh," then turned to look at the hospital bed, saying, "My aunt just woke up. I was about to go get someone."
Doctor Cen was immediately stunned, "Woke up? That's impossible!"
"...Then why did you come?" Xia Chujian glanced at him, "Didn't you hear the alarm going off?"
Doctor Cen hurried towards the hospital bed, saying, "I did hear the alarm, and I thought..."
"You thought what?"
"...I thought the patient was dying."
"You're the one who's dying! Your whole family is dying!" Xia Chujian was furious and couldn't help but say a rude remark.
"Chujian! Don't talk like that." Xia Yuanfang's voice came from the hospital bed.
Although low and hoarse, it was full of energy and didn't sound like someone on the verge of death.
Doctor Cen was shocked and stopped only when he reached the bedside.
He carefully observed Xia Yuanfang's complexion.
It had indeed changed a lot.
It was no longer the lifeless, porcelain-like pallor, but a hint of fresh rosiness on her cheeks.
Her lip color was also closer to normal, not very vibrant, but much better than before.
Doctor Cen then looked at the instruments beside the bed.
No wonder the alarm was going off.
Because all the patient's data had climbed back into the normal threshold range within an hour!
For the mechanical intelligence of the instruments, this was a situation that couldn't be explained within its knowledge range. Of course, it could also be that the instrument was broken, which caused the alarm.
"This is impossible!" Doctor Cen repeated.
He was Shen Junyi's assistant and had been helping Shen Junyi take care of Xia Yuanfang's condition.
Besides Shen Junyi, Doctor Cen knew Xia Yuanfang's health indicators best.
Xia Chujian stood beside him, also peering at the instruments, and asked unhappily, "...Why is it impossible?"
"Look at this data. It was deteriorating so badly before, how could it completely return to normal within an hour?!" Doctor Cen's forehead veins were throbbing. "This violates medical common sense!"
When Xia Chujian heard that her aunt's health data had all returned to normal, she was overjoyed.
So it wasn't a final burst of energy before death!
She was cured!
Great!
Her mental burden immediately disappeared, and she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth from turning up.
But Doctor Cen was still muttering, "Impossible... this is impossible..."
"Why is it impossible?" Xia Chujian didn't like hearing that and retorted directly, "The facts are right there. Why are you saying it's impossible?"
Doctor Cen subconsciously said, "This patient has a serious genetic disease. This level of genetic disease is incurable to begin with! Even if there's a possibility of recovery, it's impossible to recover within an hour! This violates medical common sense! And I don't think her illness is cured!"
Xia Chujian was even more angry, "You're a strange person! When a patient recovers and you can't find a reason, you just say it's impossible! I've never seen such a stupid quack! Why don't you say it's because you're not skilled enough, so you can't explain this situation?!"
"You are a quack!"
She was almost pointing at Doctor Cen's head and scolding him.
It was only because she was tall that she could do this.
Because Doctor Cen was less than 1.8 meters tall, Xia Chujian was almost the same height as him.
These words directly stabbed Doctor Cen's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
He flushed, continuing to check the data on the instruments, and said angrily, "You don't understand medicine, I can't explain it to you."
"I think you can't explain anything at all. I'm calling you a quack doctor, and you still won't admit it! When Doctor Shen comes back, I'll have to have a good chat with him!" Xia Chujian wouldn't allow anyone to question her aunt's condition at this time.
That was the hope she had risked her life to get back.
No matter how her aunt recovered, she recovered anyway, believe it or not!
Xia Chujian's mention of "Doctor Shen" reminded Doctor Cen.
He quickly used the Quantum Optical Brain of his Brain-Computer Interface to send a message to Shen Junyi.
His message was only one sentence: [Xia Yuanfang is awake, return quickly.]
But Shen Junyi didn't know what he was busy with, and didn't reply to him for a long time.
While Doctor Cen was arguing with Xia Chujian, Xia Yuanfang was quietly listening to the side.
After the two finished arguing, Xia Yuanfang said, "Chujian, go get me discharged."
"Okay!" Xia Chujian exclaimed happily, and rushed out of the ward.
Doctor Cen couldn't stop her.
Xia Yuanfang also sat up from the hospital bed and said to Doctor Cen faintly, "Doctor Cen, please leave, I want to change clothes."
"No, you can't leave yet." Doctor Cen was anxious and stopped her, "Your illness... your illness..."
Doctor Cen wanted to say "your illness is not cured yet", but various instruments showed that her illness was indeed cured.
He checked those instruments over and over again, almost taking them apart, but found nothing.
Xia Yuanfang didn't have Xia Chujian's fiery temper, nor did she confront people at the slightest disagreement.
She just said gently, "Doctor Cen, I don't remember what happened, and I don't understand why I'm in the hospital. In the past, when I fainted, it was fine because I had no mobility. Now that I can move freely, I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore."
"Ms. Xia, don't be impulsive." Doctor Cen earnestly persuaded, "At least wait for Doctor Shen to come back before being discharged."
Seeing that he said it so grandly, he actually had selfish motives.
Because he had never seen such a case, he wanted to figure out how Xia Yuanfang had recovered.
He subconsciously felt that if he could figure out the principle, it might be a major discovery in medicine!
At that time, he could be promoted to Physician, and no longer be just a Doctor! In the Beichen Empire's medical system, the title of Physician is a qualitative leap for the profession of Doctor.
Because it means they can treat Gene Evolvers at the same time.
Xia Yuanfang seemed to see through his thoughts and said calmly, "If I continue to stay here, will Doctor Cen be responsible for all the medical expenses?"
Doctor Cen flushed and stammered, "...Ms. Xia is joking, why should I pay for Ms. Xia's illness?"
"That's right, it's my illness, not your illness, why are you stopping me? You don't want to pay for my medical expenses." Xia Yuanfang lifted the quilt on the hospital bed, "Doctor Cen, please leave, if you don't leave, I'll call the police and say you're harassing a patient."
Xia Yuanfang spoke gently, but each sentence was more ruthless than the last.
Since she had said so, Doctor Cen didn't dare to stop her anymore.
Xia Yuanfang went to the small bathroom, closed the door, and changed her clothes.
Doctor Cen refused to give up, and kept nagging outside the small bathroom door, making a final effort: "Ms. Xia, how about this, I'll go to your house every day to check your body until Doctor Shen comes back, what do you say?"
At this time, Xia Chujian, who had returned after completing the discharge procedures, heard this and asked with a smile, "Then is your home visit for examination free?"
Doctor Cen was stunned and subconsciously said, "...Doctors treat illnesses, and there is medical insurance reimbursement."
"We don't have medical insurance." Xia Chujian shrugged, "If we have to pay, we'll wait for Doctor Shen to come back."
Xia Yuanfang came out after changing her clothes, and glanced at Xia Chujian in surprise.
Xia Chujian hurried over to support Xia Yuanfang, carrying Xia Yuanfang's luggage in one hand, and walked out of the ward.
Doctor Cen looked at their departing figures and kicked the instrument beside the hospital bed in anger.
He must find out what's going on!
Back in his office, he called all the nurses who took care of Xia Yuanfang and asked about the situation today in detail.
The nurse who was responsible for daytime care said with a red face, "At that time, the family members came and locked the door, I couldn't get in, and I was guarding the door all the time."
"You can't get in, why didn't you ask me for the key?!" Doctor Cen roared, slamming a fist on his desk. "This is dereliction of duty! I'm reporting this to the hospital! I'll deduct your salary! And your perfect attendance bonus!"
The nurse was so frightened she burst into tears.
"Get out! Don't cry here!" Doctor Cen chased the nurse away, still unwilling to give up, and went to check the ward's surveillance footage.
As a result, he only saw Xia Chujian first take Xia Yuanfang to the bathroom for a shower.
There were no cameras in the bathroom, so he couldn't see anything.
After the shower, Xia Chujian brought Xia Yuanfang back to bed, sometimes lying on Xia Yuanfang's chest, and sometimes sitting up.
When she was lying down, there was no movement.
But after she sat up, she seemed to be touching Xia Yuanfang's face.
Unfortunately, Xia Chujian was too tall, and she was sitting with her back to the camera, completely blocking Xia Yuanfang from view.
Therefore, Doctor Cen couldn't see what Xia Chujian was doing with her hands at all. He could only judge from the direction her arms were moving that she was occasionally reaching out and fumbling around Xia Yuanfang's head.
Of course, he also didn't see that when Xia Chujian sat up, Xia Yuanfang's lips became bright red.
And when she lay down again, Xia Yuanfang's lip color immediately faded.
In the low-resolution surveillance of this kind of cheap government-funded ward, the subtle changes in Xia Yuanfang's lip color before and after were impossible to see clearly.
According to the surveillance video, in Doctor Cen's eyes, Xia Chujian was like a lunatic, sitting up and lying down, and after doing this several times, she stopped lying down and sat for a longer period.
Her arm was stretched straight forward, as if she was touching Xia Yuanfang's face.
But it was only for ten minutes, and then she lay down again.
And Xia Yuanfang was still lying there, without the slightest movement.
Until an hour later, Xia Chujian suddenly changed from lying down to kneeling, facing Xia Yuanfang.
Xia Chujian's position changed, and Doctor Cen could see Xia Yuanfang lying on the hospital bed.
In the surveillance footage, Doctor Cen saw Xia Yuanfang slowly open her eyes, and her gaze actually looked at the surveillance camera first.
Through the screen, she even seemed to see him.
In fact, he was watching the surveillance video, not a live broadcast.
This was completely his illusion, but it still startled him. He screamed and fell backward, tumbling head over heels with his chair.
