At 10 a.m., Leng Keyan accompanied the two elderly people to the hospital again, collected the remaining reports, and registered for another appointment.

"It's nothing serious."

The gastroenterologist flipped through the report, "The gastroscopy shows it's just mild chronic gastritis, and the burning sensation is caused by acid reflux."

"Pay attention to your diet, eat less spicy and stimulating foods. Don't eat too much, eat dinner earlier, and elevate your head with your pillow when you sleep; these measures can alleviate the symptoms a lot."

Mrs. Yin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I thought it was something serious."

Leng Keyan suggested, "Dad, Mom, since we're already here, why don't we stay a few more days?"

"Tomorrow is Saturday, and Teacher Yin is off work. Let's go to some nearby attractions together. There are many fun places in City A."

Mr. Yin waved his hand: "We'll go back after the check-up; we still have a lot to do at home."

"You've come all this way, only to stay for two days and then leave. Teacher Yin will be so upset if she finds out."

Yin's mother wavered and looked at Yin's father.

After a few seconds of silence, Mr. Yin sighed, "Then let's stay a couple more days?"

Leng Keyan beamed, "I'll book the tickets right away. We're going to Cuiping Mountain Scenic Area tomorrow. It's a 5A-level scenic spot, the scenery is absolutely stunning!"

Saturday.

Leng Keyan was driving a G-Class, and outside the car window were rolling green hills and fields, a picturesque scene.

Mr. and Mrs. Yin sat in the back seat, looking at the scenery outside the window, occasionally exclaiming in amazement.

Pointing to a mountain in the distance, Mr. Yin said to Mrs. Yin, "Look at that mountain, doesn't it look like the one behind our village?"

Mother Yin squinted and looked at it: "It's somewhat similar, but taller than the ones from our area."

Leng Keyan smiled and said, "The scenery will be even better when we get to the scenic area. There will be waterfalls, ancient temples, and we can even take a cable car to the top of the mountain to overlook the entire city."

"A cable car?"

Mrs. Yin was a little nervous. "Is that safe?"

"It's very safe; there are checks every day."

Yin Siyao said gently, "Mom, don't worry."

More than an hour later, the car entered the scenic area's parking lot.

After parking the car, Leng Keyan said to Yin Siyao, "Teacher Yin, please take your parents to find a place to sit and have a drink over there. I'll go buy the tickets."

Yin Siyao nodded and led the two elders toward the milk tea shop next to the entrance of the scenic area.

The bubble tea shop wasn't crowded, so the three of them found a seat by the window.

Yin Siyao ordered two cups of hot milk tea for the two elders and an Americano for herself.

The three were chatting casually when suddenly a muffled thud came from the side, followed by the sound of a cup shattering on the ground.

A middle-aged woman with curly hair at the next table slid off her chair.

He collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing violently.

White foam spilled from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes rolled upwards, revealing horrifying whites.

"what!"

People nearby screamed, and the crowd instantly descended into chaos.

Yin Siyao rushed over, knelt on one knee, and quickly checked the woman's condition.

Rapid breathing, weak pulse, and sluggish pupillary light reflex.

"Move aside, everyone! Let's keep the air circulating!"

Yin Siyao turned the woman's head to one side to prevent vomit from blocking her airway.

The onlookers stepped back a few paces, making way for each other.

Someone took out their phone and dialed 120: "Someone has fainted at the milk tea shop at the entrance of Cuiping Mountain Scenic Area, and is having severe convulsions..."

While performing basic first aid, Yin Siyao observed the woman's symptoms, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

Just then, a young girl pushed her way through the crowd and rushed in.

Upon seeing the woman lying on the ground, his face instantly turned deathly pale.

She knelt down beside him with a thud, and tears streamed down her face.

"Mom, Mom! What's wrong?"

The girl looked at Yin Siyao helplessly, "What happened to my mom? She was fine just now..."

Yin Siyao's hands moved non-stop as she spoke rapidly: "Has she fallen or bumped into anything today?"

The girl paused for a moment, then nodded, her tears flowing even more freely: "Yes, this morning when she went out, she missed a step on the stairs and fell, hitting the back of her head on the step."

"I told her I would take her to the hospital, but she said she had only bumped herself, there was no bleeding, and it didn't hurt or itch, so there was no need to waste money..."

As she spoke, her voice trembled with tears: "Will my mother be alright? Please save her, she's all I have left..."

Yin Siyao's heart sank.

Just because you bump your head and have no symptoms at the time doesn't mean you're really okay.

Intracranial hemorrhage sometimes involves a lucid interim period; a patient may appear normal after a fall, but their condition can suddenly deteriorate a few hours later.

Now, the woman's symptoms are very similar to an epileptic seizure caused by increased intracranial pressure.

Hearing the ambulance siren, Yin Siyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Paramedics carried the woman in on a stretcher and quickly transferred her to the vehicle.

The girl followed behind, her steps unsteady, her face streaked with tears.

Her voice choked with emotion: "Could you come with me? I don't know what to do, I don't understand anything... Please..."

As he spoke, he was about to kneel down again.

Yin Siyao steadied him, her voice calm: "Don't panic, I'll go with you."

Turning to look at Mr. and Mrs. Yin, whose faces were full of worry, he quickly said, "I'll go with them. You two wait here for Yan Yan."

"Siyao, be careful yourself too..."

Before Yin's mother could finish speaking, Yin Siyao had already gotten into the ambulance.

The car door slammed shut, and the car sped away with its horn blaring.

Ten minutes later, Leng Keyan returned excitedly with four tickets in her hand.

"Tickets bought! Can we go in...wait, what?"

Inside the milk tea shop, only Mr. and Mrs. Yin remained seated; Yin Siyao was nowhere to be seen.

"Dad, Mom, where's Teacher Yin?"

Leng Keyan looked around.

Mother Yin briefly recounted what had just happened.

"Let's go inside and take a look around."

Leng Keyan said in a relaxed tone, "Teacher Yin will contact us when she's done with her work."

Seeing that Leng Keyan seemed a little disappointed, Mr. Yin suggested, "How about we stop shopping and go to the hospital instead?"

"Dad, don't worry, Teacher Yin is a doctor, it's what he should do."

Leng Keyan smiled and comforted her, "Let's just look around. You've come all this way, so have a good time."

After playing for a few hours, Yin's mother noticed that Leng Keyan seemed distracted and suggested, "Xiao Yan, let's go to the hospital to get her checked out."

"Don't even mention you, I'm feeling really anxious too..."

Leng Keyan nodded and put away her phone: "Okay."

The woman had already woken up in the emergency observation room of the Third Municipal Hospital.

He was lying in the hospital bed with his head wrapped in gauze and his face was still a little pale.

A girl with a ponytail sat by the bed, her eyes still red.

Seeing Yin Siyao enter, the girl stood up and bowed: "Thank you. The doctor said my mother had intracranial hemorrhage. Fortunately, she was brought in in time..."

The woman struggled to sit up, but Yin Siyao quickly stepped forward and pressed her down, saying, "Lie down properly."

The woman lay back down, holding Yin Siyao's hand, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you. My daughter told me that if it weren't for you, I might have..."

"Saving lives and healing the wounded is a doctor's duty."

Yin Siyao withdrew her hand, her tone gentle but maintaining a distance, "Take good care of yourself and you'll recover quickly."

Just then, the ward door was pushed open.

Yin's mother asked with concern, "Son, is he alright?"

"It's alright now," the woman said quickly. "Thanks to your son, he saved my life."

Holding Yin's mother's hand, her eyes were full of gratitude: "Big sister, you are so lucky to have raised such a good son. He is really successful."

Mother Yin smiled and said, "He's quite promising."

After exchanging a few words, the woman, quite familiar with him, asked, "Is Dr. Yin married?"
