Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: An Inevitable Encounter on a Narrow Path (9)

"Sorry Miss Qiao, this is a sudden illness, so it's generally uncontrollable."

"Oh well, some people just have short lives; if King Yan wants to collect, there's nothing anyone can do to stop it!" Zhao Hongxia sneered from the side, unable to hide the joy bubbling on her face.

Only Qiao Xuan and her family's Hao Hao are the two boys in the Qiao family. Now that Qiao Xuan is dead, the family's estate will surely fall into their Hao Hao's hands.

Qiao Mo's eyes were red as she looked at Zhao Hongxia!

Xiao Xuan's life was uncertain, yet she was here being extremely sarcastic!

Is a bastard child not human? Is it not a life!

"Oh, what are you staring at me for? It's not like I'm the one who made him sick..." Zhao Hongxia was startled by her red eyes, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Qiao Mo had no mood to argue with her and turned back to the doctor: "Doctor, there has to be a way! There has to be a way, right?"

The doctor sighed and was about to speak when Zhao Hongxia interrupted again: "Hey, Xiao Mo, it's not that Auntie isn't being compassionate, but I advise you not to waste your efforts; why make it hard for the doctor?"

Qiao Mo couldn't bother with what she was saying, only staring firmly at the doctor in front of her.

The doctor looked at Qiao Mo and sighed softly: "Well, in fact, he can undergo a brain nerve repair surgery, but this kind of surgery is highly difficult and requires advanced skills. To date, no more than five people in the world can do it. But the problem is, even if the surgery succeeds, the patient still might not recover..."

Qiao Mo was slightly stunned, a glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes, after all, sometimes having hope is better than despair!

Just as she was about to ask, the doctor continued on his own: "Qin Zhaoran. He's the only one in the country who can perform this surgery."

"Qin Zhaoran... Qin Zhaoran..."

Qiao Mo murmured the name softly. She had heard of him before, rumored to be the prized grandson of Mr. Qin from the Chinese Hospital, the kind of person who could bring the dying back to life.

"The patient needs to be transferred to intensive care, can the family come and pay the fees?" the nurse spoke from the side, bringing Qiao Mo back to reality.

Qiao Mo didn't even expect anything from these so-called family members, she turned to Jiang Jinghao and said, "Jing Hao, can you look after Xiao Xuan for me while I go pay the fee."

"Alright, call me if there's anything." Jiang Jinghao originally intended to go pay, but worried she'd be bullied by Zhao Hongxia.

Qiao Mo nodded, turned, and left. Qiao Yin watched her back with a smirk.

After settling Qiao Xuan, Qiao Yin walked to Jiang Jinghao's side and spoke gently: "Seems like Xiao Mo didn't misjudge you back then, rare as it is, even after Xiao Mo did that, you still treat her the same. As her sister, I feel at ease handing her over to you."

Jiang Jinghao frowned, looking at her: "I don't understand what Miss Qiao means."

Qiao Yin hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly: "Looks like Xiao Mo hasn't told you, but it's understandable; it's hardly a bright matter. Xiao Mo is afraid that you'll find out, which is why she wouldn't tell you."

"What exactly does Miss Qiao want to say?"

"Hehe... did you know Xiao Mo didn't come back all night the other night?" Qiao Yin smirked, satisfied to see Jiang Jinghao's slightly stunned expression, slowly continuing: "I heard... she slept with another man to save her father..."

"It's quite a pity really, that man is neither as handsome nor as talented as you, but he's powerful, which is why it's not surprising Xiao Mo did what she did..."

Jiang Jinghao stared at her in a daze, the laughter in Qiao Yin's eyes grew more pronounced.
