The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 454 - Chapter 454 Chapter 454 Rescue

Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Rescue Chapter 454: Chapter 454: Rescue Upon entering the ward, Zhong Niangyao saw several doctors frantically trying to resuscitate the girl on the bed. However, all their efforts seemed futile, the girl’s condition not only showed no signs of improving, but was deteriorating even further.

Just one glance was enough for Zhong Niangyao to assess the girl’s dire state–the vitality in her body steadily slipping away. At this rate, it would take only ten minutes for the girl’s life force to be completely exhausted, beyond saving.

Lu Yichen, too, had realized the gravity of the situation, his brow furrowed, his expression solemn.

The sudden intrusion by Zhong Niangyao did not go unnoticed by the medical staff. Their faces were grim; with the girl’s life hanging in the balance, they were infuriated to be interrupted. Moreover, they had clearly instructed that no one should be allowed in during the resuscitation!

A nurse stepped forward and walked toward Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, her tone unfriendly, “Both of you, please leave immediately and stop hindering our work.”

Yet Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao remained motionless where they stood.

At that moment, members of the Chu Family entered the scene.

“Are these your family members?” the nurse asked, her voice tinged with anger. “Didn’t we already ask you not to disturb the doctors’ work? If there’s a mishap later that costs the patient her life, can you bear the responsibility?”

The Chu Family hadn’t had the chance to respond when Zhong Niangyao firmly said, “Now, right now, have everyone leave immediately.”

Her words left the Chu Family taken aback; clearly, they hadn’t expected such a reaction from Zhong Niangyao. But seeing her serious demeanor left them no choice but to comply without delay. Chu Ciwen took the lead, expressing their decision to cease resuscitation and instructed the doctors to leave the ward immediately.

Those doctors involved in the life-saving efforts found the demand outrageous. Their hands continued to work tirelessly while they sent a nurse to continue communicating with them.

As time ticked by, Zhong Niangyao’s expression grew more serious, her voice urgent, “Now, right this moment, have everyone leave the ward, or we’ll truly be too late.”

On hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Guan Liu couldn’t hold back any longer and stepped forward, disregarding all protocols to physically remove the medical staff. Otherwise, they would be held responsible later.

The medical personnel, frustrated and indignant, ultimately had no choice but to leave the ward. Nonetheless, before exiting, they did not forget to have the Chu Family members sign a voluntary abandonment of resuscitation notice.

Once all the medical personnel had left, Zhong Niangyao had meant to ask the Chu Family to step out as well. However, time was no longer on her side, so without saying a word, she took a swift step forward and approached the bedside.

Gazing at the nearly transparent face of the girl on the bed, Zhong Niangyao dared not delay and immediately formed a Seal with her hands, murmuring a spell under her breath.

As the movements of her hands became more rapid, a golden light suddenly appeared at her fingertips. She touched the spot between the girl’s eyebrows with her fingertip, and the golden light disappeared. Simultaneously, the girl’s previously ragged breaths gradually steadied, and her pallid complexion seemed to gain a faint rosy hue.

The Chu Family, who had been watching the entire scene, could not help but cry tears of joy. Especially Guan Liu, who, after a rollercoaster of emotions, felt a momentary weakness; were it not for Chu Ciwen’s steady support, he might have collapsed to the floor.

Watching the girl, now with stable vital signs and deeply asleep, Zhong Niangyao breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Lu Yichen, who had been standing nearby, took a step closer, produced a handkerchief, and gently dabbed at the fine beads of sweat on Zhong Niangyao’s forehead, his movements tender and doting.

Anyone could see the nature of their relationship.

It was only now that the Chu Family members noticed Lu Yichen’s presence. In the urgency of the moment, all their attention had been focused on Zhong Niangyao, who was perceived as a life-saving presence.

Now that the crisis was over, they realized that Zhong Niangyao had not come alone; accompanying her was none other than Third Young Master Lu from the Lu Family.

Their previous knowledge of Third Young Master Lu was limited to rumors, and seeing the man in person caught them off guard. Particularly the intimate interaction between him and Zhong Niangyao, which seemed unmistakably intimate.

After everything had settled down, someone came in to tidy up the ward.

Old Sir Chu, Chu Ciwen and his wife, along with Zhong Niangyao, sat down in a small reception room outside, having left a few people to take care of the patient. Chu Xu, acting like a little tag-along, insisted on joining them, so he also came along.

The Chu Family was a wealthy family, staying in a deluxe ward in the hospital that was almost like a suite. Their discussion in the reception room did not disturb the rest of the people inside.

As they took their seats, Old Sir Chu spoke first, “Lady Zhong, I cannot thank you enough for what you’ve done today. Without your help, my great-granddaughter Tongtong’s condition could have been disastrous.”

After locating their lost relative, they had renamed her Chu Tong. They had been mentally prepared for her poor health conditions since the moment Zhong Niangyao had made her calculations.

However, they hadn’t expected the situation to be as terrible as it turned out. In such a short time, they had attempted resuscitation numerous times. Each of these efforts was fraught with tension, and fear had been gripping their hearts–fearing that she might not be revived.

When they were nearing the brink of despair, Chu Xu suddenly mentioned Zhong Niangyao.

Seizing what seemed like a lifeline, Chu Ciwen and Guan Liu immediately contacted Zhong Niangyao, pleading for her help.

Now, with Tongtong’s condition finally stabilized, they could at last breathe a sigh of relief and silently celebrated their decision.

In contrast to the relief of the Chu Family, Zhong Niangyao’s expression remained solemn. She gently shook her head, “Don’t celebrate too soon. Her condition has merely stabilized for the moment. The problems within her have not been resolved. If we don’t address them promptly, her health will continue to deteriorate, and her life could still be in danger.”
