Chapter 63: Staying Up All Night and Holing Up at Home Is Not Advisable

“Get up first. Holding onto my leg like this, I’ve forgotten everything I wanted to say…” Hearing Yan Yuanqing’s words, the burly man hurriedly stood up, but still kept expressing his gratitude.

“No need to thank me yet. Go pay the fee first!”

In less than five minutes, the man returned. His speed was astonishing.

“Now, apologize to all the doctors and nurses in the emergency department. Of course, this includes everyone affected by your actions!”

The man gritted his teeth and finally, before the crowd, turned around and bowed deeply to each person present.

“I’m sorry. I let my grief cloud my judgment and wanted to vent those feelings on you. I’m truly sorry. Please forgive my impulsiveness.”

Everyone had been thrown into chaos by this man, and some of the nurses, especially the women, had been frightened. Now, seeing him bow and apologize, their faces still showed caution, but their mood visibly eased.

“All right. Come with me,” Yan Yuanqing said, and the man nearly leaped with joy.

“Divine doctor, my sister—how is she? What’s happened to bring her to this state?”

“Your sister, does she often eat cold-natured foods? And she doesn’t like exercising? Is she the type who stays at home all day, never stepping outside, always sitting or lying around?”

Yan Yuanqing had put it very delicately; in truth, many who love to stay indoors are even more extreme. If they could, they’d fill their bed or carpet with snacks and drinks, settle in front of the TV or computer, and spend the whole day at home.

The man was stunned by the question, then nodded.

“What’s the matter?”

“Do you realize that the reason your sister suddenly went into shock and lost consciousness, nearly losing her life, is precisely because of these habits? Perhaps staying up late as well?”

“Sleep is meant to restore energy. During this process, the body activates many self-cleaning and maintenance mechanisms to deal with hidden issues. But if sleep is insufficient and routines are irregular, these effects are greatly diminished, leaving all sorts of problems in the body. Over time, something serious is bound to happen.”

“After my examination, I found that a blood vessel near your sister’s heart was blocked, which caused the severe shock. She was lucky—she’s young, so the vessel wasn’t completely blocked.”

“If it had been, not just me—even a god couldn’t have saved her!”

…

“Let me in! Let me in! I must see Doctor Yan, my benefactor!” A man shouted loudly at the gate of the Shi family estate.

“Get lost! There’s no Doctor Yan here! This is the Shi residence. If you don’t leave, don’t blame us for being rough!” The gatekeepers, annoyed, were ready to grab something and chase him off.

But the man was burly and imposing; the guards felt that even together, they might not be his match. No one wanted to be the first to confront him—after all, the first in line might get beaten the worst.

Just then, Yan Yuanqing returned from outside, surprised to see the man at the gate.

“It’s you?”

The man finally saw Yan Yuanqing and became extremely excited. He pressed a silk banner into Yan Yuanqing’s hands, and in the rush, tucked a bank card into it.

“Divine doctor, I didn’t get a chance to thank you at the hospital before you left. Now, at last, I’ve found you. You must accept my gratitude this time, or I won’t sleep peacefully at night!”
