My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen frowned, feeling helpless and lost. He knew that at this critical moment, his words might not be taken seriously by these professional medical staff. But he still held on to his belief and silently prayed that the old man would be safe.

"Mr. Xiao, don't be so nervous." Cheng Tianan suddenly broke the silence, "This hospital can be said to be the best hospital in Dongcheng, and there are many people who understand Chinese medicine. Let's wait inside, I believe they will do their best to treat the old man." His voice was calm and firm, as if he was giving Xiao Chen a reassurance.

Xiao Chen smiled coldly. It sounded like Cheng Tianan didn't seem to think his medical skills were that great.

But he also understood that now was not the time to argue about these things. So he chose to remain silent and walked into the hospital lobby silently. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, including worry about the old man's condition and dissatisfaction with his medical skills being questioned.

After arriving outside the emergency room, Lin Miaomiao came to Xiao Chen's side with a nervous look. She looked around carefully, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, she lowered her voice and asked in a voice that only Xiao Chen could hear: "Divine Doctor, is he... is he really going to be okay? I... I'm really worried."

There was a slight tremor in her voice, and it was obvious that she was filled with fear and anxiety.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He moved his gaze away from Lin Miaomiao and looked at Cheng Tianan, who was on the phone and seemed to be making urgent arrangements for family affairs.

Cheng Tianan's face was solemn, his tone was firm, and every instruction he gave revealed his unquestionable decisiveness. Xiao Chen sighed inwardly, knowing that Cheng Tianan was also under tremendous pressure at the moment.

Xiao Chen retracted his gaze and shook his head, his tone filled with helplessness and determination: "If the doctors and nurses can listen to me and not remove my silver needles, then there should be no problem. The silver needles are playing a key role in maintaining his vital signs at this moment. Once removed, the consequences will be disastrous."

His eyes revealed an unquestionable confidence, as if he was telling Lin Miaomiao that what he said was not groundless.

However, Xiao Chen's words also revealed some worry: "Otherwise it will be troublesome. Not only may he become a vegetable, he may even die. The effect of the silver needle is very important. If there is any mistake, it will bring irreversible consequences."

His voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a tremendous force that could not be ignored.

When Lin Miaomiao heard this, her face turned pale as paper, and she clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, as if she was looking for a little comfort. Her eyes were full of fear and helplessness, as if she was praying for Xiao Chen to give a better answer.

However, Xiao Chen just shook his head silently, his eyes revealing an indescribable firmness and helplessness, as if telling Lin Miaomiao that at this moment he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

"Then...what should I do..." Lin Miaomiao's voice was filled with obvious panic and helplessness. Her hands were twisted together helplessly, and her eyes were full of confusion and fear. She knew very well that she had little influence in this situation, and no matter what she said, it would seem so pale and powerless, unable to change the desperate situation before her.

"I'm so unlucky. I look like the old man's deceased wife. So they brought me here from the countryside to take care of the old man." Lin Miaomiao's voice was full of bitterness and helplessness. Her eyes gradually turned red and tears welled up in them.

She recalled the days when she was forcibly brought into a strange environment. She was only in her twenties, in the prime of her youth, but because of this unfounded reason, she was bound to this boring and unfree life. "I was so young, with endless dreams and aspirations, and my life was ruined." Lin Miaomiao's voice trembled, and tears finally burst out and slid down her cheeks. Her eyes were full of regret and unwillingness, as if she was telling about her lost youth and freedom.

"So, my personality also became worse at that time, and I became sarcastic and mean." There was a hint of self-mockery and helplessness in Lin Miaomiao's voice. She knew that she had gradually become indifferent and mean during this experience, but that was all because of the pain and helplessness in her heart.

"Because I hate everyone, I hate this world, I..." Lin Miaomiao's words were choked with sobs. Her emotions completely collapsed at this moment, and tears rolled down like beads with broken strings. She hated those who dragged her into the abyss, hated this world that was so unfair to her, and hated herself for not being able to escape this endless suffering.

As she spoke, Lin Miaomiao burst into tears. Her cries echoed outside the emergency room, filled with despair and sorrow.

Xiao Chen stood quietly by the side, listening to Lin Miaomiao's crying, his eyes revealing a deep sympathy and understanding. Although the conversation was not long, Xiao Chen could hear a tragic past from it and feel the pain and struggle in Lin Miaomiao's heart.

A beautiful young girl who originally yearned for the future and had infinite aspirations and dreams was ruthlessly brought here to accompany an elderly and frail old man who had no blood relationship with her.

If such a fate were to happen to a woman who had been deeply brainwashed by the cancer of society, who had compromised with reality and lost her passion for life, she might even feel secretly happy about this sudden "comfort", thinking that she had finally found a harbor to rely on.

But Lin Miaomiao was different. At that time, she was in her youth, and her heart was full of beautiful fantasies and firm beliefs about the future.

She had just graduated from college, full of enthusiasm and ambition, and was ready to make a big splash in this society full of opportunities and challenges and build a career of her own.

She has ambitions and ideals that are no less than those of the brave and warlike Qin Liangyu in history, and she longs to write a glorious chapter of her life with her own hands.

However, fate played a cruel joke on her and threw her from the clouds of her dreams into the mud of reality.

This gap made her feel extremely disgusted and desperate. She couldn't accept being trapped in a strange and boring environment, repeating a meaningless routine day after day.

What was destroyed was not only her youth and freedom, but also her love for life and hope for the future. As a result, her personality changed drastically, from being cheerful and lively to being cold, withdrawn, and even sarcastic. Although such a change is heartbreaking, it is also understandable to her inner pain and struggle.

Xiao Chen listened to Lin Miaomiao's story quietly, and his disgust and dissatisfaction with her gradually disappeared from his eyes. Looking at this girl who was once full of ideals but now suffered so much, he just felt that she was so pitiful. (End of this chapter)
