Chapter 254: Chapter 254: You Are the Most Talented

Nan Zhuoyuan massaged the bridge of his nose and sighed, "When will Dad be home? If it really won’t work, let’s just tell them everything when Dad gets back."

Li Xue stood in front of Nan Zhuoyuan, pulled his head down, and pressed her forehead against his, looking into his eyes.

She whispered, "Zhuoyuan, don’t lose your composure. Everything is going according to Xiao Yu’s plan; don’t worry too much."

Nan Zhuoyuan closed his eyes, shifting from pressing foreheads to resting his head on her shoulder.

He said in her ear, "Seeing mother severely injured and reduced to a vegetative state made me a bit panicked."

Li Xue hugged him, soothing his unsettled heart, "Dad will be in A City by seven tomorrow night. Why don’t you first ask Xiao Yu, see if they can meet?"

Nan Zhuoyuan opened his eyes and stood up straight, "Then I’ll send Xiao Yu a message to ask for her opinion. If she agrees, I’ll talk to dad and arrange for them to meet in Mom’s hospital room tomorrow night."

Li Xue nodded.

At this moment, on the eighth floor.

Li Chongbai was still at Duan Zhu’s bedside, taking her pulse.

Pei Yu, who had just arrived on the eighth floor, approached carefully and spoke softly.

"Teacher, how’s Mrs. Nan’s condition?"

Li Chongbai stroked his goatee, all smiles.

"Duan Zhu’s condition is very good now; I can clearly feel her pulse has strengthened."

He stepped back half a step, making room, "Pei Yu, you take her pulse and try. Let’s see how much your medical skills have improved."

Not shying away, Pei Yu obediently went to Duan Zhu’s side, placed her hand on Duan Zhu’s wrist, and concentrated.

Li Chongbai watched her quietly as she proceeded.

Pei Yu’s fingers resting on top could only feel the same pulse as the previous days.

Lifeless and stagnant, like a pool of dead water.

Half an hour later, Pei Yu still couldn’t discern anything different.

She looked up at Li Chongbai with a guilty expression.

"Teacher, I’m sorry, I can’t feel any difference."

Seeing this, Li Chongbai was not surprised—it was within his expectations.

He laughed, "Don’t blame yourself; it’s my fault for being too eager, always hoping that you can make rapid progress in just two days."

Pei Yu felt even more guilty, "Teacher, I’m just too slow, letting down your teaching."

Li Chongbai patted her shoulder, "Pei Yu, don’t think like that. Among all my students, you have the best talent and are the most diligent. Trust my judgment; you are not any less than anyone else."

"Wait until tomorrow, I’ll ask Yingying if there’s any trick to taking pulses, to give you some pointers."

Pei Yu, looking at Li Chongbai who was so good to her, had her eyes brimming with tears, "Teacher, thank you."

Li Chongbai said with a smile, "You’re grown up, why are you still crying?"

Pei Yu wiped her tears, suddenly recalling the incident when Nan Qingqing had unexpectedly given her a perfume.

"Teacher, while I was applying medicine to Miss Nan, she suddenly said she wanted to gift me a bottle of perfume worth a hundred thousand, and asked me to let her know when Doctor Li arrives at the hospital tomorrow night."

"I find it very strange. For such an expensive perfume, just to have me notify her? The hospital belongs to the Nan family; couldn’t she have asked anyone for such information?"

Actions like those of Nan Qingqing seemed to her like something only an idiot would do.

After listening, Li Chongbai frowned involuntarily, "Other than that, did she ask you anything else?"

Pei Yu didn’t hold anything back from Li Chongbai and told him everything.

"She asked me if Doctor Li is your actual niece and also if I had ever met Doctor Li before."
