Chapter 1918: Chapter 1916: He Really Left

Gu Qiaoqiao noticed Thomas’s gaze. She smirked and decided to remain silent about it.

If it’s meant to be mysterious, then let it be mysterious to the end.

Let Thomas keep guessing; he probably won’t figure it out in a lifetime.

Once the ward finally calmed down, Thomas left. No one cared where he went because he was no longer the focus.

The saying goes, "Great kindness doesn’t demand thanks." For someone like Luo Ye, it’s not something that can be conveyed with just a simple "thank you."

Moreover, given the deep relationship between the two families now, some things are best remembered in the heart.

Luo Ye knew that after lying here for five years, he wanted to be discharged immediately. After all, he had already recovered.

Of course, he was still a patient, but he didn’t need medication or injections at the hospital anymore. He could recover well at home with sufficient rest.

So, at this moment, he was eager to leave.

However, Gu Qiaoqiao still spoke up, "Big Brother Luo Ye, you should stay here for a week."

Old Mr. Luo knew Gu Qiaoqiao must have a reason for saying that, but he couldn’t think of a reason for staying a week. He hesitantly looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, who smiled and explained, "The aura in this room is excellent for Big Brother Luo Ye’s recovery."

Gu Qiaoqiao then turned to Old Mr. Luo and said, "Grandpa Luo, the conditions here are nice; you could actually rest here for a few days too..."

The idea of spiritual energy is something everyone understands internally; saying it out loud feels a bit strange.

Especially since there are two scientists in this ward.

Things like spiritual energy violate the principles of science, so naturally, it couldn’t be mentioned.

Old Mr. Luo immediately understood, smiled broadly, and nodded repeatedly, "Alright, I’ll stay here for a few more days, get a check-up, and also accompany my eldest grandson..."

After speaking, he discreetly sensed it himself; older people are often sensitive to auras, and that’s when he understood why Gu Qiaoqiao wanted him to stay. The room was rich in spiritual energy, making it incredibly comfortable.

Of course, this couldn’t be mentioned; no one says a hospital room is comfortable.

He turned his gaze to the windowsill, his eyes darkening slightly as he remembered that flower pot seemed to have only a few buds when they arrived that morning.

Now they had bloomed, and he noticed the green plants in the room were exceptionally lush, looking as though they could drip oil.

These were truly worthy of the term "lush and green."

It was nearing noon, so they decided to have lunch here.

After lunch, someone knocked on the ward door. It was Thomas, neatly dressed and having removed his lab coat, looking quite dejected. He was there to fulfill his promise. Gu Qiaoqiao and Old Mr. Luo exchanged a glance, and she spoke softly, "Elder Luo, you’re free to handle this as you see fit; I have no opinion."

Because Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t really taken the bet seriously, but a lesson was warranted. However, with Thomas’s pride, he wouldn’t stay here.

He had indeed come to bid farewell to Old Mr. Luo.

"...Old Mr. Luo, I lost the bet, and I’m prepared to accept the consequences. I’m leaving this hospital, and I’ve already submitted my resignation. The necessary work has been handed over, and I’m here to say goodbye to you..."

Old Mr. Luo furrowed his brows slightly but spoke in a deep voice, "Thomas, you’re still young, and your path is long ahead. This world is not merely what you perceive it to be. There are many unknown realms that need exploration by young people like you.

Nothing in the world is absolute; I’m sure you understand this better than I do. I hope you’ll learn from today’s lesson, work diligently, and be humble in life.

Regarding the joke about never practicing medicine, don’t take it to heart. You’re skilled, and my eldest grandson is fortunate to have escaped danger thanks to you. I am grateful for that.

Also, haven’t you told me that healing is your highest aspiration? Continue pursuing it and save more patients."

Thomas always considered himself rational, being a doctor who shouldn’t get carried away by emotions. But Old Mr. Luo’s words stirred his thoughts.

"Elder Luo is right; I’ve been shallow. There are indeed too many unknown, mysterious fields in this world that need exploration, and I have indeed been arrogant."

Later, Thomas admitted that he had been somewhat arrogant over the past two years. Even in the medical field, he’s not top-tier; there are far more skilled people than him. Like today, what mindset did he have to boast before this young Chinese Medicine Doctor? Just because he couldn’t do something doesn’t mean others couldn’t.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao and then asked Old Mr. Luo, "Sir, may I speak a few words with this young Chinese Medicine Doctor?"

Qin Yize, beside Gu Qiaoqiao, quietly translated these words, and she naturally nodded.

Having someone translate didn’t make the conversation much harder; it just took a bit more time.

"Esteemed lady, I genuinely apologize; I was arrogant. I remember there’s a saying in Huaxia Country that there’s always someone stronger, the heavens higher. Now I’ve profoundly understood it..."

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, "Yes, you were indeed arrogant and conceited, and I’ll accept your apology."

Thomas seemed to breathe a sigh of relief but still stared at Gu Qiaoqiao, asking, "But how did you use the Acupuncture Technique to awaken Luo Ye?"

Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes sparkled lightly, "It’s complicated to explain. The human body has many acupuncture points, and our country’s Acupuncture Technique is not that simple. You need dedicated learning to identify points and needle accordingly based on the patient’s condition."

"Then, Miss Gu, could..."

A glint of eagerness dimmed in Thomas’s eyes, and he swallowed the rest of his words. He realized his request was too unreasonable.

He had no relationship with Miss Gu, so how could he abruptly ask her to teach him? It was too impertinent, and fortunately, he hadn’t said it aloud; otherwise, any remaining dignity would vanish.

Gu Qiaoqiao naturally knew what he wanted to ask, but what could she teach him? Practically nothing, not to mention if she could teach it, it wouldn’t be something casually taught to just anyone.

Fortunately, he didn’t voice it.

However, judging by his demeanor, he seemed unconvinced, although this no longer concerned Gu Qiaoqiao.

In fact, this could have been a quiet affair; he shouldn’t have courted trouble.

Now that he’s startled, it’s certainly not her fault.

Thomas couldn’t possibly stay longer in the ward.
