chapter 32 Just the last breath left

Seeing her earnest expression, Edison Qin felt a bit moved but turned to look at Andrew Li's expression. Andrew Li only watched the woman who insisted on being serious, his face remaining cold and silent. Observing this, Edison Qin nodded to Ja Jiang and said, "Dr. Jiang, please follow me." Ja Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and tried to ignore the man's gaze, getting up and following Edison Qin, passing by Andrew Li. Seeing her brother actually taking this young woman upstairs, Amelia Qin still couldn't rest easy and hurriedly followed. The three of them disappeared around the corner of the staircase. Nora, seeing the beautiful aunt leaving, reluctantly tugged on her dad's collar, wanting him to follow. Andrew Li, from the corner of the staircase, withdrew his gaze and looked down at the little girl in his arms. He inexplicably tugged at his lips and stepped upstairs. Arriving at the room's door, Ja Jiang's peripheral vision caught a sudden appearance of a man, and her heart skipped a beat. "We're here," Edison Qin said in a deep voice. Ja Jiang quickly composed herself, forcing herself to remain calm, and followed him into the room. Upon entering, she immediately smelled a strong medicinal scent. Ja Jiang scanned the room and saw only a large bed in the center with several people in white clothing standing by the bedside. They appeared to be a medical team specially prepared for the old master. This room should have been set up as a medical room specifically for Old Master Qin. As the outside world had said, the Qin family attached great importance to Old Master Qin's condition. Edison Qin led her directly to the old master's bedside and said, "Dr. Jiang, please." Ja Jiang nodded, lowered her gaze, and assessed the person on the hospital bed. Old Master Qin lay weakly on the bed, his body so emaciated that he seemed to be nothing but skin and bones. His cheeks were sunken, presenting the appearance of a flickering lamp. Seeing the scene before her, Ja Jiang's face suddenly became serious, and her brow furrowed tightly. Old Master Qin's condition was indeed as serious as Clark Gu had described it. She dared not delay any longer and, after a brief observation, immediately held Old Master Qin's wrist, earnestly examining his pulse. Seeing her actions, Edison Qin was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected this woman to be a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and she had only performed a simple pulse diagnosis for Old Master Qin's condition. However, during this period, they had consulted many doctors, both Western and traditional Chinese, and had seen various techniques, so he didn't say anything about it. Sitting by the bedside, Ja Jiang held Old Master Qin's hand and examined his pulse with full concentration, her eyes lowered and her entire being focused on his pulse. However, the more she observed Old Master Qin's pulse, the more alarmed she became. She had initially thought that the symptoms described by Clark Gu were already severe enough, but she had not anticipated that Old Master Qin's actual condition would be even worse. During the pulse examination, she also noticed that Old Master Qin's breathing was extremely weak, to the point where he seemed to have only one breath left. After a while, Ja Jiang released Old Master Qin's hand with a grave expression, stood up, and walked over to Edison Qin and the others. "Dr. Jiang, do you have any results? How is my grandfather's condition? Do you have a treatment plan?" Edison Qin, who was seeing a doctor for his grandfather for the first time, had a hopeful look in his eyes. Ja Jiang frowned and asked with a hint of skepticism, "With Old Master's condition so severe, why didn't you take him to the hospital? He's on the brink of death, and you left him at home?"
