Chapter 693: Chapter 0694: Cao Ling {10th Update}

Ye Qiu sat there drinking the coconut juice. The plane was now switched to flight mode, unable to access the internet. One could only read books or the magazines provided on board.

He hadn’t expected Zhou Wenting, seated next to him, to actually fall asleep.

After an indeterminate amount of time, the plane suddenly shuddered, waking Zhou Wenting. She asked, "What happened?"

"The plane just shook a bit."

Ye Qiu replied.

...

At this moment, in first class, an elderly man in his seventies dressed in simple summer attire felt extremely uncomfortable, especially around his throat, due to the sudden turbulence.

He sensed an old ailment flaring up again.

"Grandpa, what’s wrong with you?"

Beside the man sat a young woman around twenty-three or twenty-four, wearing a light yellow summer dress and looking incredibly beautiful. Most importantly, she possessed an allure and appearance that could be described as stunningly gorgeous.

Observing her grandfather’s suddenly pallid complexion, Cao Ling quickly inquired.

"No, it’s nothing,"

the old man replied.

However, his expression grew increasingly troubled, and the two bodyguards nearby could see it. They urgently asked, "Boss, old sir, how do you feel?"

"It’s nothing."

The old man persisted in his response.

Cao Ling knew very well that it was precisely because of her grandfather’s illness that they were specifically traveling to a major hospital in France for examination. His condition had already been checked numerous times in domestic hospitals without much success.

Of course, this was her grandfather’s chronic problem.

Now that her grandfather had retired, it seemed he finally had the time to undergo a proper check-up and treatment.

"Grandpa, I’ll go find a flight attendant."

Cao Ling hurried over with a bodyguard to seek out a flight attendant.

Cao Ling and a bodyguard hurried to find a flight attendant. The two flight attendants were in the middle of preparing dinner for the passengers in the galley, not expecting Cao Ling and the bodyguard to rush over.

Wang Leshan asked, "Miss Cao, what’s the matter?"

"My grandfather is in a critical condition. Do you have a doctor on the plane?"

Wang Leshan inquired.

When Cao Ling and the elderly gentleman boarded the plane, Wang Leshan was already aware of the special status of the old man. Now that she heard he was in a serious condition, she hurriedly led Cao Ling and the bodyguard to find the plane’s security officer.

However, the security officer was only responsible for the plane’s security, such as preventing hijacking incidents. Therefore, they were certainly incapable of solving such issues.

All that remained were a pilot and a co-pilot, whose job was to ensure the plane flew smoothly. They were also not responsible for other passengers’ emergencies.

"Go and ask if any of the passengers are doctors?"

Wang Leshan and the security officer thought simultaneously.

While they were leading Cao Ling to the pilots, starting with business class, where Ye Qiu and Zhou Wenting were seated, Wang Leshan asked, "Excuse me, is anyone here a doctor? There’s a passenger in first class having a medical emergency."

Wang Leshan asked several times, but no one responded.

Zhou Wenting had also awakened by now, puzzled about what was happening.

However, since Wang Leshan, the flight attendant, did not elaborate, she couldn’t rashly admit to being a doctor.

Because Zhou Wenting now realized that Ye Qiu had not directly admitted to being a doctor, and even Ye Qiu didn’t say so, there was even less need for her to mention it.

Ye Qiu was just paying attention to a beautiful young woman in a floral dress who was following the flight attendant, truly very pretty. He could say that since arriving in this world, this was the first woman he saw who could genuinely be considered a beauty.

Wang Leshan, seeing that no one responded, hurriedly went with Cao Ling and the bodyguard towards the economy class, where there were more passengers, hoping that there might indeed be a doctor there.

After watching those four leave, Zhou Wenting quietly looked at Ye Qiu and asked, "Why didn’t you just stand up and say you’re a doctor?"

"Do you think they would believe me?"

Ye Qiu asked.

Zhou Wenting, however, felt that this could not have been the reason Ye Qiu didn’t take the initiative to step forward.

However, Zhou Wenting noticed that the flight attendant Wang Leshan and Cao Ling, along with the security officer and the bodyguard, did indeed find two Western doctors in the economy class.

The two Western doctors quickly followed the four of them from beside Ye Qiu to the first-class cabin to check on the elderly man.

Ye Qiu turned to Zhou Wenting and asked, "Are you going to drink this bottle of mineral water?"

Zhou Wenting shook her head.

Ye Qiu then took it for himself. Actually, Zhou Wenting had taken a sip earlier, and now seeing Ye Qiu not minding that she had drunk from it, she didn’t know what to say to Ye Qiu.

...

The two Western doctors were from a top-tier hospital in Jinling, and since the hospital was currently giving them a vacation, they planned to take a flight to France to enjoy a few days off. They never expected to encounter a patient falling ill on the airplane.

For now, the two Western doctors just followed to have a look.

Upon arriving, they saw a man over seventy, dressed in ordinary summer clothes for the elderly. However, this man exuded an indescribable air of dignity and presence.

One could tell at a glance that this old man was no ordinary person!

"Sir, what’s making you uncomfortable?"

One of the Western doctors asked.

The elderly man pointed to his throat and was unable to speak.

In the eyes of these Western doctors, treating a patient, whether it’s a minor or serious illness, always requires detailed examination and report results before proceeding with the final steps of treatment and confirmation.

But now, they were on an airplane with no medical equipment whatsoever, so the idea of conducting any kind of examination was out of the question.

And now the two Western doctors didn’t know what condition the elderly man had been in before.

"Miss, what illness did your grandfather have before?"

"The doctor said it was due to an excessive buildup of phlegm in the lungs, causing difficulty in coughing."

Cao Ling said.

With this, the two Western doctors had some understanding. It was likely that the elderly gentleman had been affected by the airplane’s sudden turbulence, causing phlegm to emerge from his lungs and enter his throat, but he was now unable to cough it out, and that was the critical issue.

If this went on for a long time and the phlegm could not be expelled or removed, it was very likely to block the old man’s trachea and even his airway, endangering his life.

Western medicine is different from traditional Chinese medicine; it relies on medical equipment for diagnosis, and on medication and injections for treatment. Therefore, with empty hands, the two Western doctors were unable to start treatment or offer a remedy for the elderly man.

Moreover, now that the two knew the elderly man held a special status, they definitely would not dare to administer treatment without assurance in their ability to help.

"Doctors, how is my grandfather doing?"

"I’m sorry, I really am powerless to help."

One Western doctor said.

The other Western doctor also said, "Without medical equipment to conduct further examination or medication for treatment, I too am powerless to help."
