Chapter 116 We Need Him Alive

She had just stepped out of the elevator when she heard Qin Ranfeng and Jun Haoxuan bickering.

"That's enough from you. Calling that true love? Which one of your exes didn't you consider your true love?"

"I've had enough of you myself. What does a lifelong bachelor like you know? And love at first sight? Pfft. Sounds more like hoes before bros to me! I think you should be the one to give her up to me instead!"

"Maybe you should ask my fists what they think about that!"

"Oh, getting serious here now, are we?"

"Damn straight we are!"

Unsure as to what the disagreement was about, Mu Xia intervened immediately upon seeing how close they were to coming to blows. "We're in a hospital, so what the heck do the both of you think you're doing?"

The two men were caught off guard and both appeared surprised when they turned and saw Mu Xia in the lift lobby.

"What are you doing here, Xia?" Jun Haoxuan was first to approach, with Qin Ranfeng close behind.

Mu Xia was about to speak when Ye Sijue got in ahead of her. "I brought her over to take a look because she said that she may have an idea for a treatment. If there's nothing better for the two of you to do here, quit messing around and just go home to sleep already."

"Nah! We're plenty busy, aren't we, Haoxuan?"

Qin Ranfeng ignored him and turned to regard Mu Xia instead. "Are you able to address psychological ailments?"

Mu Xia replied humbly, "I just happen to know a little about post-traumatic stress disorder, so I thought it might be worth giving a shot. Which ward is the patient at?"

Luo Yi pointed to the right. "This one."

Mu Xia strode forth and went on inside.

Luo Yi's eyes dimmed as he watched her silhouette disappear beyond the door. He then pulled out his phone to make a call.

["Where are you? Come up to the thirteenth floor and check on your patient right away."]

Ye Sijue frowned when he cast his gaze upon Luo Yi. "Who did you summon?"

"His attending doctor, Dr. Jian. It wasn't easy for me to bring him in from overseas."

Ye Sijue have heard of that distinguished professional, a protege of the Williams who themselves were considered amongst the top psychologists in the world. This fact alone spoke volumes of the doctor's expertise.

However, that gave him a moment for pause.

"If Xia's already looking into it, then what are you getting Jian over here for?"

Luo Yi shrugged. "What else. To have him oversee things and make sure that she doesn't get the patient killed! We're clueless about her level of competency, so I don't think you ought to place too much trust in her just because she's friend of yours. You know how important this fella is and why we need him alive."

Ye Sijue appeared doubtful but made no comment before he made his way in with the others in tow.

Inside the ward, Mu Xia began examining the emaciated man lying on the bed using the Four Diagnostic Methods based on ancient Chinese medical traditions.

"Disorientation, sluggishness, disharmony and dredging imbalance in the liver, hyper-arousal, palpitation and other symptoms… it does appear to be characteristic of post-traumatic stress disorder."

The observing Jun Haoxuan and Qin Ranfeng clapped enthusiastically in approval. "Spot on, Ms. Mu! Bravo!"

"We couldn't have known that you also possess such a talent. We're mighty impressed!"

Luo Yi twitched his lips as he did not think much of Mu Xia merely parroting what he had already said about the patient's condition.

At this moment, the door to the ward was pushed open.

"Dr. Jian!" Luo Yi hailed the newcomer before he regarded Mu Xia. "This is the internationally renowned Dr. Jian who studied under the illustrious Williams."

Mu Xia's eyes widened when she heard name "the Williams" mentioned, because they were her adoptive parents.
