Chapter 1376: Nothing Urgent
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
If only a couple of archaeological expedition team members were unable to regain consciousness, it would have been normal. Since all four members were in the same condition, the situation was undoubtedly odd.
The doctor was unable to figure out the reason for their condition. He had already done five to six blood tests, but the result remained the same.
The doctor was just leaving the hospital ward after drawing more blood for testing yet again.
Zhuo Yun looked at Min Yu and noticed the serious look on his face. Just as he was about to speak, he could sense his phone vibrating in his pocket.
Zhuo Yun had already spent a couple of days at the hospital. If his men needed to speak to him, they would communicate via text messages. He pulled his phone out and checked it.
!!
A couple of days ago, he had instructed his subordinate to buy the Chinese herbs Huo Yao wanted. His subordinate was calling to inform him that the job was done.
“Okay,” replied Zhuo Yun before putting away his phone.
A thought dawned on Zhuo Yun as he raised his head. He hurriedly slapped his forehead and suggested. “Oh yes. Miss Huo is a good doctor. Why don’t we get her to examine Prof Min?”
For the past two days, the doctor kept insisting that nothing was wrong with the patients, so it didn’t dawn on them to call Huo Yao and get her to examine them.
Zhuo Yun also realized he had forgotten to tell Min Yu about Huo Yao’s call.
He paused before he continued sheepishly. “Also, Miss Huo contacted me a couple of days ago…”
The moment Zhuo Yun finished his sentence, he could sense the atmosphere in the hospital ward turning cold. He lowered his head slightly and did not dare to make eye contact with his boss.
Min Yu glanced at him mildly without saying a word and quickly pulled his phone out from his pocket.
Since he knew Huo Yao was probably in cla.s.s at this hour of the day, he did not call her directly. Instead, he sent her a text message.
Zhuo Yun instinctively felt that his boss might send him to work in the mines in Africa for a long time to pay for his mistake. Just the thought of it made him feel depressed.
**
Huo Yao only saw the text message 30 minutes after her first cla.s.s.
She walked out of the cla.s.sroom and called Min Yu. The moment she heard that his father was sick, she took a day off from school without hesitation and headed to the hospital.
When she got to the hospital, Zhuo Yun was already waiting for her at the main entrance. He looked at her as though he had seen his savior. “Miss Huo, you’re finally here.”
Huo Yao nodded politely. She asked about the patient’s condition as they went upstairs.
Zhuo Yun updated her about the result of the doctor’s examination. “The doctor said everything was normal with the patients, but no one knows why they still remain unconscious.”
Huo Yao was unable to figure out the problem just by his words alone.
Zhuo Yun continued. “Miss Huo, I know I promised to pa.s.s a message to the boss and get him to call you back, but it slipped my mind.”
Zhuo Yun scratched his head awkwardly.
“Okay,” acknowledged Huo Yao. “It’s fine. It wasn’t urgent anyway.”
Zhuo Yun touched his nose as he pondered. Even though her call was not urgent, he had to be extra cautious if he did not want to trigger his boss from now on!
Before long, the two of them arrived at the hospital ward.
When she entered the room, Min Yu was sitting in front of the hospital bed. He raised his head after hearing someone enter the room. “Hey.”
Huo Yao nodded and walked toward him. She looked at the middle-aged man lying quietly on the hospital bed. He had well-defined features, so he must have been very handsome when he was young.
“He has been sleeping all this while without waking up even once.” Min Yu’s voice sounded completely calm.
Huo Yao glanced at Min Yu but didn’t say a word. She pulled up a chair, sat down in front of the bed, and extended her hand to take Prof Min’s pulse.
