Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 545 - 534 Familiar Figure?

Zhan Nanqing made a “tsk” sound, still arm-in-arm with Qiao Jing as they walked outside.

“As long as I’m with you, I won’t be bored. Can I watch you see patients?”

Ever since she had seen Qiao Jing dressed as a man, she had found herself increasingly fond of following her.

Seeing Zhan Nanqing so insistent, Qiao Jing could only agree.

“Fine.”

As long as Zhan Nanqing accompanied her to the clinic just once and felt the boredom, Zhan Nanqing would surely not come again next time.

Seeing that Qiao Jing had agreed, Zhan Nanqing’s face instantly showed a satisfied smile as they walked shoulder to shoulder towards the outside.

She felt she was quickly becoming Qiao Jing’s little follower.

But indeed, she followed Qiao Jing all the way to Wonderful Hall.

When Qiao Jing and Zhan Nanqing got out of the carriage at the intersection opposite to Wonderful Hall, they were about to cross the street when they saw a familiar figure.

And they both knew him.

The man who had been beaten that night.

Chi Yuhang.

Chi Yuhang was still wearing his hotel uniform, but the shoe prints had vanished.

Right now, he was assisting an elderly man towards Wonderful Hall, slowing his pace in consideration of the old man’s health, only managing a slow walk across the crosswalk.

But it happened to be the rush hour for work and school, everyone else had already crossed, and Chi Yuhang was still guiding the elderly man at a snail’s pace on the zebra crossing.

This provoked the impatience of drivers, who honked their horns repeatedly.

Chi Yuhang bowed apologetically to the drivers, but he couldn’t just carry his grandfather across because he was old and frail, and Chi Yuhang feared he might hurt him with a single careless move.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Nanqing frowned.

“Qiao Jing, isn’t that Chi Yuhang?”

Qiao Jing hummed in acknowledgment, her gaze falling on the elderly man beside Chi Yuhang.

She slightly narrowed her eyes, and after observing the old man for a few seconds, she led Zhan Nanqing towards another crossing and quickly reached the entrance of Wonderful Hall.

Zhan Nanqing was still looking back at Chi Yuhang and the elderly man slowly crossing the road and couldn’t help but blurt out a complaint.

“Why is it him again? But… why doesn’t he just carry his grandfather across the street? Now he’s causing a traffic jam.”

Qiao Jing pursed her red lips and looked up at the traffic light, which was counting down to green.

“The old man is seriously ill; it’s right for him not to carelessly carry him.”

She could tell from the man’s gait and the pale, thin face that the old man’s condition was critical.

If one were to carelessly carry the old man, or even hurry him along, it could likely result in injury.

After all, the elderly are quite fragile, and even a minor mistake could lead to an accident, moreover, the man’s depleted physique increased the chances of such incidents.

Zhan Nanqing then sheepishly withdrew her gaze and paid no further attention to Chi Yuhang.

“So that’s the situation. Let’s go inside first. It’s quite sunny and hot out here,” she said.

Qiao Jing nodded and walked into Wonderful Hall.

After she attended to a patient, Chi Yuhang and the old man still hadn’t appeared at the entrance of Wonderful Hall.

Qiao Jing’s brows furrowed, her eyes revealing a worried expression.

She had noticed that Chi Yuhang intended to bring his grandfather to Wonderful Hall for treatment, but it had been almost ten minutes, and they had yet to show up.

Zhan Nanqing saw Qiao Jing constantly looking at the entrance and asked curiously,

“Qiao Jing? What are you looking at?”

Qiao Jing withdrew her gaze and, after some consideration, stood up and walked towards the doorway.

“I’m going to have a look,” she said.

She was a bit concerned that Chi Yuhang might have taken his seriously ill grandfather back home or that something unexpected had happened, so she felt the need to go check.

Zhan Nanqing, seeing this, quickly followed.

“Wait for me! I’ll go with you!” she said.

When the two reached the entrance of Wonderful Hall, they glanced around.

In the end, Qiao Jing’s eyes settled on the tree closest to Wonderful Hall.

Chi Yuhang was sitting there with the old man, his gaze fixed in the direction of Wonderful Hall.

Upon seeing Qiao Jing, Chi Yuhang was startled, his face full of surprise.

Qiao Jing suddenly remembered that, earlier on, Chi Yuhang had mentioned to those who lent him money at high interest rates that he was working five jobs.

Seeing Chi Yuhang and the old man sitting under the tree, hesitating to come into Wonderful Hall, she speculated,

Chi Yuhang did not have money for his grandfather’s medical expenses.

When Zhan Nanqing saw Chi Yuhang sitting under the tree with the old man, she asked with a puzzled face,

“Qiao Jing, what do you think Chi Yuhang is doing sitting under the tree with his grandfather? Aren’t they supposed to come in for a consultation?”

Qiao Jing’s eyes darkened, and she stepped toward Chi Yuhang.

Zhan Nanqing hurriedly followed, looking at Qiao Jing, completely bewildered.

“Hey, hey, Qiao Jing, where are you going? Don’t tell me you’re going to Chi Yuhang – what for?” she asked.

By the time she spoke, they had already reached the tree.

Upon seeing Qiao Jing, Chi Yuhang almost instantly recognized her as the person who helped him, even though she was not wearing men’s clothing; he still recognized her.

He turned to glance at his grandfather, resting with closed eyes under the tree, and immediately stood up.

“Miss Qiao, hello!” he greeted.

Qiao Jing nodded, her gaze shifting to the old man beside him.

“Hello, are you here to have a consultation at Wonderful Hall?” she asked.

Chi Yuhang’s face showed a hint of embarrassment and guilt, and he looked at the old man with concern.

“Yes, Miss Qiao, are you also here to see a doctor at Wonderful Hall?” he inquired.

Zhan Nanqing was about to deny it when Qiao Jing stopped her.

“We just came to buy some medicine. Why haven’t you brought your grandfather in for a consultation?” she asked.

Chi Yuhang had a difficult look on his face, opened his mouth to speak but then shook his head without saying anything.

How could he admit that he was worried he didn’t have enough money for the consultation, so he hadn’t brought his grandfather in?

He should have taken on even more jobs. He had pleaded with his boss for a long time just to be paid half of his wages at the end of the day.

After buying medicine for his grandfather and repaying a bit of his debt each day, he was left with only a few hundred yuan, certainly not enough for the consultation fee, let alone buying medicine.

This time, he had come merely hoping to try for a consultation for his grandfather, planning to buy some cheaper substitutes from the drugstore later.
