Chapter 208: Xiao Cheng Isn'T Dead!

The hospital room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Only Chu Lingfeng's slightly hurried breathing betrayed the unrest in his heart.

According to the medical records, there was no doubt that she was dead.

As a divine doctor, observation and inquiry were fundamental skills. Even without taking her pulse, he could tell from her face that this girl was dead, but her death was somewhat unusual.

That's why the hospital classified it as shock-induced pseudo-death.

But he was even more certain that he had seen this girl on the night of the birthday banquet.

This had nothing to do with catching a fleeting glimpse of Chi Xiaocheng's cuteness. He would simply never forget that half-severed ear.

Especially that night, many people shouted that they had "seen a ghost," and he had indeed been tormented by illusions. When they checked the surveillance footage afterward, any images related to that little straw doll were completely black.

Maybe there really were ghosts!

Otherwise, how could the surveillance cameras have been hacked?

Just as Chu Lingfeng was becoming increasingly frightened, the "beep, beep, beep" of the electrocardiogram drew everyone's attention.

The straight line began to show subtle fluctuations.

All three of them were stunned for a moment.

Until Su Tao cried out in a trembling voice of surprise, "Xiaocheng—!"

She immediately rushed to Chi Xiaocheng's side and placed her index finger under the little girl's delicate nose, clearly feeling a faint breath.

She felt her own breathing quicken in that instant and hurriedly turned her head. "Professor Su... Professor Su, Xiaocheng is breathing! She's breathing! She's alive, she's really alive!"

Professor Su immediately snapped back to reality and pulled Su Tao away. "Okay, okay! Don't get so close to her. You all go out of the room first. Damn it, I should have put Miss Chi in a more sterile and quiet place!"

"Wait outside first, I'll go get someone right away!"

In her fifties, she was as excited as a child, running quickly out of the ward.

Su Tao didn't know what she was feeling. She covered her heart with one hand, breathing deeply.

She could clearly feel her heart beating rapidly and violently, and even experienced a momentary lack of oxygen to the brain due to excessive excitement.

Xiaocheng was alive!

She wasn't dead!

She really wasn't dead!

Goosebumps erupted all over her body, and the hand she had just used to check her breathing was still trembling uncontrollably.

Su Tao called out to Chu Lingfeng, who was still completely stunned, "Divine Doctor Chu, let's wait outside."

However, Chu Lingfeng didn't seem to hear Su Tao's words, muttering incessantly, "She... she wouldn't have come back to find me, would she?"

"Divine Doctor Chu?"

Another call came from the side, bringing Chu Lingfeng back to his senses.

He forced a smile. "Sorry, I was distracted. What were you saying?"

"Let's go outside first."

"Oh, oh, okay."

Su Tao looked strangely at Chu Lingfeng's pale and frightened expression, and couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

Could this divine doctor be all show and no substance?

Although Xiaocheng's situation was a bit special, he was a divine doctor who had brought people back from the dead countless times. Surely, he wouldn't be surprised by a case of pseudo-death and resuscitation, right?

Xiaocheng wasn't a ghost, was there any need to be so afraid?

She and Chu Lingfeng walked out of the ward, and then saw Professor Su leading a large group of doctors and nurses, pushing various instruments, rushing over in a hurry.

Chu Lingfeng watched the group's retreating figures, hugged his head, and sat down on a chair, while Su Tao was already silently praying beside him.

Unlike the surprise of the two women, Chu Lingfeng only felt sweat pouring down his back, and his hands and feet gradually grew cold with fear.

That was definitely not a pseudo-death resuscitation!

Maybe it was because she sensed that he was in this ward, so she came to find him!

But I didn't provoke you, I don't even know your name.

Why is this female ghost haunting me!

Chu Lingfeng was a little overwhelmed. If this was really a female ghost, he was afraid that his future would not be peaceful.

He glanced sideways at Su Tao next to him, and learned from previous conversations that this female ghost was actually Su Tao's younger sister.

Coming to find him like this, could it be that...

Chu Lingfeng narrowed his eyes, and his body trembled.

Could it be that she liked him!

Hiss——

Although she was a female ghost, the little face under the hood was indeed very attractive.

Chu Lingfeng reached out and touched his half an ear, and then gently slapped himself in the face.

With such hostility, how could she possibly like him? If he kept fantasizing, he might lose his life.

Chu Lingfeng looked at the doctors who were starting to go in and out again, and an idea came to his mind.

After a long time, Professor Su walked out of the ward, and then a group of doctors pushed Chi Xiaocheng to another ward.

Su Tao impatiently asked, "Professor Su, how is she!"

Professor Su revealed a relieved smile. "It's the best news possible. It's been completely confirmed that Miss Chi's body has begun to show signs of life, but she still can't wake up yet. We did a simple check."

"We found that her active cells are repairing the neurons in various places. I guess it will take another one to two weeks before she can wake up."

"Now we're sending her to a better ward. It was my negligence this time to just keep her here. Luckily, nothing happened."

Hearing what Professor Su said, the huge stone in Su Tao's heart finally landed.

She couldn't help but reveal a bright smile. "Thank you, Professor Su. Xiaocheng is okay... that's really great!"

As she spoke, a drop of water suddenly fell to the floor.

Belatedly, Su Tao reached out and touched her cheek.

"Am I... crying?"

When did the tears start falling?

She didn't feel it at all.

Perhaps, she was too happy.

She wiped away her tears and raised the corners of her mouth again. In the past month, she had never been so happy and relaxed.

Professor Su reached out and touched Su Tao's head. "Alright, child, calm down first. We'll settle Miss Chi in first, and you can come over later."

"Okay!" Su Tao nodded heavily. "Um... can I tell this news to others?"

"Go ahead." Professor Su understood Su Tao's psychology. "But she has only awakened from her serious illness, not resurrected from the dead, understand?"

"I understand, Professor Su."

Su Tao immediately took out her phone, ignoring Chu Lingfeng, who was hesitating to speak beside her.

She quickly sent messages to familiar people.

First, to Chi Song, Dongfang Yang, Si Chen, Cheng Cheng, and others who knew the inside story.

Then to Doctor Cheng, whom she hadn't contacted for a long time, except that Su Tao's previous reason to Doctor Cheng was that Chi Xiaocheng was seriously ill and hospitalized.

For some people who asked her where Xiaocheng had gone, she used this excuse.

And also Fang Ning.

She didn't have this little guy's contact information, so she could only ask Dongfang Yang to pass it on.

It was also at this time, that Chi Xiaocheng, who had already become a "corpse," was accompanied by the messages Su Tao sent out.

And a large wave of emotional value poured in again.
