Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)

Chapter 9

Fade and Xenia roamed around the shopping mall and after buying what Fade wanted, they ate hotpot and were ready to go home.

Just as they were on their way to the mall entrance, there was a sudden commotion and people were shouting for help.

Their expression changed instantly. Fade and Xenia then proceeded to walk over to the source of the noise. When they arrived there, a grey-haired old man in his sixties was lying on the ground. His cheeks were red and his brows were furrowed. His breathing was too rapid to be considered normal. It looked like he was in severe pain.

Staying by the side of the old man was a young man in his early twenties, who looked very anxious and at loss. The young man could only repeat a few words like a broken record, "Sir, what's wrong with you? Sir, wake up."

The onlookers around the young man reminded him, "Call the ambulance."

Thanks to the reminder from the crowd, the young man hurriedly took out his mobile phone and made an emergency call.

Though the phone call had already been made, the old man was still lying on the floor. The old man was breathing rapidly. His eyes were even rolled to the back of his head. Looking at the condition he was in, he wouldn't be able to hold on further. The crowd around him was all feeling very anxious, but there’s nothing they could help with.

At this moment, Xenia rushed out and said, "Get out of the way, I'm a doctor."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly made way. The young man looked at Xenia and shouted, "Hurry up, please save my grandfather. You must save him."

Xenia didn't say much. She leaned over to the old man, lifted the old man's eyelids, and then quickly began to carry out CPR for the old man.

On the other side, Fade also squatted down and quietly checked the old man's pulse.

The old man's condition didn't seem to improve regardless of the emergency medical procedure done by Xenia. In fact, his condition became worse. His breath gradually slowed down. The old man's face also became paler with every second.

Looking at the situation, the young man became anxious. He grasped Xenia and glared at her, shouting, "What did you do?

Why is my grandpa getting worse?"

"He is in critical condition. I, I've already done my best, but-" Xenia tried her best to explain.

However, the young man was too agitated to listen, "What do you mean by trying your best? You are definitely a fake, you don't know anything. You are the one who hurt my grandfather, and I will make you pay for it."

"I..." Xenia was anxious and angry. She wanted to explain herself but the young man would not listen to Xenia's explanation at all. Instead, he shouted at her.

Right then, a slap landed on the young man's face and he was stunned.

For a moment, the young man could only look at the man who slapped him. Then, his facial expression changed drastically. He said angrily, "How dare you to slap me? Both of you are on the same side. You are not here to save my grandfather, but to harm him. I want to call the police. I want to arrest all of you!"

As the young man shouted, he reached out, trying to grab Fade.

Fade slapped the man's face again and shouted angrily, "Your grandfather is still alive." "However, if you delay the time I have to treat him, your grandfather will die," Fade continued.

"You, you-" The young man held his face and looked at Fade.

Fade glared at him fiercely, then continued to lean down to get closer to the old man. Fade took out the silver needles he had always carried around with him and began to carry out acupuncture.

The onlookers couldn't help but discuss the current situation.

"This young man is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?"

"He is such a young doctor. Is it reliable?"

"I don't think so. Isn't traditional Chinese medicine doctors normally elder people?"

"Do they have the skills? What if the ambulance hadn't arrived, but these two young people have already treated the old man to death?"

The young man on the side was clearly shaking up from the discussions of the crowd and had doubts about Fade. However, he did not dare to stop Fade at this moment, so he could only watch quietly.

A few minutes later, just when the sirens of the ambulance were heard coming from the outside of the mall, Fade pulled out the silver needles on the old man's body. The old man who almost fainted exhaled sharply and coughed. He then sat up from the ground and opened his eyes. He was safe!

The young man was extremely relieved and immediately came over, "Grandpa, you're all right. Grandpa, you-"

The old man glared at the young man, and then looked at Fade and Xenia with gratitude, "The both of you, thank you for saving my life. If it weren't for you, I would’ve probably been a goner today."

"Grandpa, how do you know?" Before Fade and Xenia managed to say anything, the young man voiced out his confusion.

The old man glared at him and said, "I am still conscious, I just couldn't speak. He is my life savior. What were you doing at that time? You even wanted to call the police to arrest him. You'd better apologize to both of my life saviors."

"Yes, grandpa, I will apologize immediately." The young man nodded and quickly bowed to Fade and Xenia for an apology.

They waved their hands, indicating that it was fine.

Just then, the medical staff from the ambulance came in with a stretcher.

Although the old man said that he was fine, his grandson insisted on making the old man still making a trip to the hospital for a checkup.

When the old man was about to get into the ambulance, he suddenly remembered something and gave Fade a business card, "Young man, this is my contact number. If you need anything, you can call me at any time."

After bidding the old man goodbye, Fade looked at the business card in his hand.

The business card was very simple, with only a name and a phone number printed on it. There was nothing fancy.

"Harry Xu." The name rolled off Fade’s tongue before he put the name card away.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Later, they left for home. Fade took Xenia to the bus and went back home by himself.

When Fade got home, Housekeeper Wong and Quin were having dinner. As soon as Quin saw Fade, Housekeeper Wong quickly got up and said, "Sir, you're back. Come and sit down. I'll serve you dinner."

"Auntie Wong, don't bother. I have already eaten before I came back." Fade said.

"Ah, you've eaten?" Housekeeper Wong said in surprise.

Quin, on the other hand, was not as surprised.

Quin glanced at Fade casually and asked, "Did you eat with Xenia?"

"Yes. We bought some stuff at the mall, and then we had a meal together." Fade replied, and then asked, "How did you know?"

For an unknown reason, Quin felt a surge of anger and annoyance. Instantly, Quin lost her appetite. She slapped her chopsticks down and went upstairs straight. "I'm full," Quin coldly said.

"What's wrong with her?" Quin's sudden change of mood surprised Fade.

Housekeeper Wong glanced at Fade, sighed, and said, "Sir, what is happening between the both of you?"

Housekeeper Wong wanted to ask about their relationship, but then she remembered Quin's personality, so she waved her hand and said, "Sir, just forget what I said."
