Chapter 738: Chapter 730 Can’t Sleep Chapter 738: Chapter 730 Can’t Sleep “Who is Qiqi?”
Tang Yuxin’s words today were somewhat strange and had left Gu Ning somewhat bewildered.
“It’s not convenient to tell you right now,” Tang Yuxin really didn’t have the time to discuss things in detail with Gu Ning, mainly because if she were to explain everything, it would be a very long story.
She couldn’t just tell Gu Ning that Qiqi was Lin Yile’s daughter right now.
Then there would be the question of where the child came from, who the father was, and why Lin Yile never told anyone.
If all those issues were to be resolved, she really wouldn’t know where to start.
So she decided it was best not to mention it for now.
They could talk about other things when a suitable opportunity arose.
After making a phone call to Gu Ning, she then went to Director Zhu.
“Hmm, you said there’s a patient you want to follow throughout their treatment and you’ll cover all the costs?”
“Yes,” Tang Yuxin nodded, “I’ll take care of them, all the expenses, I’ll be responsible.
I hope the director can help facilitate a green channel.
They might be transferred here tonight.”
“Who is it that you’re so concerned about?

Don’t worry, everything is negotiable.
You don’t have to pay out of pocket.
Doesn’t the hospital have funds?
And there’s also me, this old man.”
It was the first time Director Zhu had heard of Tang Yuxin looking for a little backdoor help.
As for the medical expenses, they left that topic aside—for if Tang Yuxin didn’t pay up front, wasn’t his large hospital capable of handling it?
If there were really a difficulty, the hospital had special funds available.
She didn’t need to dig into her own pockets.
“It’s a relative of mine, Director.
You don’t need to worry; I’ll take care of it.” Tang Yuxin understood what Director Zhu meant.
She wasn’t short on money, her family was well-off.
She was just worried that the Lin Family, in addition to worrying about the child, would have to bear the medical expenses.
Although the Lin Family was also wealthy, sometimes having to pay a large sum of money wasn’t so readily manageable for them.
Father Lin held a high official position, but he never engaged in illegal activities, so it was likely that he didn’t have much money on hand.
Moreover, the child’s medical expenses were probably substantial.
Once Tang Yuxin had arranged everything at the hospital, she returned to her office, but she couldn’t sit still.
Sitting at her desk, she felt as if time was dragging on interminably as she waited.
She didn’t know when they would come, when they would arrive, or what might happen on the way.
Whether they would be safe on the road was another matter of concern.
With every minute they didn’t arrive, her worry grew for that minute; after two minutes without their arrival, she would become increasingly restless for another two minutes.
As the night progressed, the hospital gradually emptied out until only she and a few on-call doctors remained.
There was a gentle knock at the door of her office.
Tang Yuxin straightened her body, becoming a bit more alert, as she had almost fallen asleep moments before.
She couldn’t help it—she was exhausted, having been busy all day without a moment of rest, and had dozed off while sitting.
She hurried to open the door, only to find Gu Ning standing outside, holding a meal.
“Are you hungry?
I brought some of your favorite foods,” he said, lifting the meal box in his hand.
The meals, prepared by the housekeeper at home, were all her favorites, including a soup that she had to drink every day.
It was made from big bones, and the reason her arm was healing so quickly was precisely because she had been regularly drinking bone broth.
Tang Yuxin turned around and sat on the chair listlessly.
Gu Ning brought the lunch box over, placed it on the table, carefully took out each dish, and handed the chopsticks to Tang Yuxin.
No matter what, one always has to eat, right?
Tang Yuxin nodded.
She knew, but what could she do if she just couldn’t eat anything right now?
“Eat some,” Gu Ning added some vegetables to her bowl.
Tang Yuxin took a bite.
In the past, she would usually be quite hungry by now and, of course, have a good appetite, but now she had no appetite at all, and naturally, she couldn’t eat.
However, in the end, she persisted in finishing her meal, but it was like swallowing poison.
Normally, she would have finished a bowl of rice in half an hour, but this time, it took her more than an hour to get through just one meal, and still, half a bowl remained, with even more vegetables left untouched.
“I can’t eat anymore.”
Tang Yuxin put down her chopsticks; she truly couldn’t eat another bite.
“Eat a little more,” Gu Ning once again served her some vegetables, urging her to eat.
Tired from the day’s work, sometimes there wasn’t even time for a meal.
Sometimes all the day’s nutrition came from this one meal.
If she didn’t eat well now, how would she manage?
“I really can’t eat anymore,” Tang Yuxin said.
She truly had no appetite, and with Qiqi’s life hanging in the balance, she couldn’t even muster the energy to open her mouth.
“Eat some,” Gu Ning served another helping of vegetables, “Aren’t you supposed to wait for the patient?
If you don’t eat up now, and the patient arrives for surgery, do you think you’ll be able to eat then?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuxin realized that it was indeed the case.
She needed to eat something, otherwise, she might not have the strength to keep up.
She truly didn’t know the extent of Qiqi’s injuries or whether a lengthy surgery was needed.
If it turned out to be complicated, she might have to stand for several hours, maybe even more than ten hours.
She had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks again and start eating.
Despite her lack of appetite, she eventually forced all the food into her stomach, and, of course, finished the bowl of soup as well.
Gu Ning cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and then washed them by the tap but she didn’t leave.
“Why don’t you go back?” Tang Yuxin looked visibly drained.
After all, she had performed several surgeries during the day.

At this time, she really should be asleep, yet she hadn’t slept and was waiting here, but she was too exhausted to stay fully awake.
“I’m here to keep you company,” Gu Ning touched Tang Yuxin’s forehead, “Do you want to take a nap first?
When people arrive, they will naturally come to find you.”
Tang Yuxin rubbed her eyes, thinking it made sense.
Waiting like this wasn’t a good approach.
Even if it was just for an hour, sleep was sleep, rest was rest.
“I’ll go sleep in the dormitory for a while,” she said.
She had a dormitory room here, but she rarely rested there due to her busy schedule.
Sometimes when she was too tired, she would take a break in it.
It had been a long time since she stayed there.
She stood up, yawning involuntarily.
She really was too tired, tired beyond measure…
“Sleep,” Gu Ning patted her shoulder, “I’ll be right here, I won’t leave.
When someone calls for you, I’ll wake you up.”
