"No! It's just the opposite!" The dean suddenly exclaimed. "According to the medical instruments, the dosage of the medicine not only helped Mr. Lu's injuries recover greatly, but in the long run, it could even cure his illness!"
Qin Yu was completely stunned.
Could the medicine that Gu Ling gave Third Master really cure him?
The dean continued, his voice full of disbelief. "I've never seen such a miraculous medicine before. I really want to witness it with my own eyes and find out which master crafted it!"
Qin Yu still couldn't believe it. "Are you joking?"
The dean shook his head firmly. "I would never joke about something like this. I am willing to guarantee my thirty-year career that every word I said is true!"
Qin Yu was speechless. The situation had completely gone beyond his expectations.
At that moment, the usually silent and unreadable Lu Lingxiao, who had been lying in bed like a sleeping lion, suddenly spoke.
"How is my condition now?"
The dean immediately answered, "Your fatal injury has stabilized, and there will be no problem."
"However..." He hesitated for a moment before continuing. "You have too many old injuries that have accumulated over time. A full recovery won't be easy. In fact, there may not be anyone in the entire country capable of treating them."
"If your emotional state isn't properly managed, there's a risk of relapse..."
"But…" The dean's tone became firm. "If there's anyone who can cure Mr. Lu, it must be the girl who gave him the injection and saved his life!"
"Only her?"
Lu Lingxiao raised an eyebrow slightly.
His expression remained calm, but the faint curve of his lips and the flicker of amusement in his deep eyes revealed his thoughts.
—If it's her…
Then perhaps the future wouldn't be so boring after all.
Yes.
He would personally verify whether she and he belonged to the same world.

Outside the Ward
Gu Ling stood with her arms crossed, her face completely calm and cold.
A stark contrast to the nervous crowd around her, who were practically holding their breaths.
Then, the ward door opened.
The dean and the directors stepped out one after another.
"How is he?" Old Master Lu immediately walked forward, his voice tense.
Lu Ming sneered. "What else could it be? That girl must have made things worse for my uncle! She's a useless waste! She just wants to kill him!"
Standing beside him, Lin Miaoyuan still felt the situation wasn't dramatic enough, so she deliberately added fuel to the fire.
"If that's the case, what should we do? If even the hospital can't treat him, will the Lu family end up suffering because of her…?"
The moment she spoke—
All the Lu family's distant relatives immediately exploded in anger.
"If she were my daughter-in-law, I would have beaten her to death already! She's useless and causes more trouble than she solves!"
"She should be on her knees begging for forgiveness right now!"
"Gu Ling, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and kneel in front of the ward to apologize to Mr. Lu!"
---
The only one who remained completely calm throughout all this… was Gu Ling.
She stood there, arms still crossed, silently listening to the angry voices around her, without saying a single word.
The scolding and accusations continued.
Until—
The hospital director removed his mask and spoke.
"Mr. Lu's condition… is very good."
The entire corridor fell silent.
The director continued, "He just has some old injuries that need to be treated over time."
"But based on the medical results… it's clear that this is all thanks to Miss Gu's help!"
---
"I knew it—you—"
Lu Ming had just started speaking when he suddenly froze.
"Wait… What did you just say?"
His voice was shaky.
"You mean… Gu Ling… actually cured my uncle?!"
This… This must be some kind of sick joke!
Lin Miaoyuan's face instantly turned blue and purple, as if she had been slapped in public.
Everyone else also had the exact same reaction—
Total shock.
Were they… dreaming?
Gu Ling?
The girl they all knew as a useless waste?
She actually saved Lu Lingxiao?
