In the ICU of the Central Hospital on the 10th floor in Jiangnan City, a beautiful woman dressed in white lay on a hospital bed!

Her dark hair was loosely spread on the pillow, and her pretty face was as pale as paper, completely devoid of color. Bandages were wrapped around her head, but there was no blood seeping through. Her lips were tinged with cyanosis, and the tear stains at the corners of her eyes had dried up.

Around her were 88 Grindstone Flowers, their yellow petals seeming to lament with sorrow.

Shu Yuehua!

A once radiant beauty had withered away.

This woman, who once had a voluptuous figure and was a stunning teacher, now lay there quietly, like a wilted snow lotus, eliciting such pity.

At this moment, inside the ICU, apart from Shu Yuehua's body, there were also two doctors clad in white, wearing masks, wrapped up tightly.

One of them was Doctor Xu Zhixing, and the other was a thin, elderly man with a somewhat unfamiliar face.

Right now, both of them looked at the monitor, which had long since flatlined, sighing and shaking their heads.

"Old Xu, do you realize what you're doing? This female teacher has been dead for 12 hours now. Her body should be in the morgue! This is an ICU ward, not a place to keep a body!"

At this moment, the skinny doctor seemed extremely discontented, complaining to Doctor Xu Zhixing incessantly:

"Especially now, in the summer, if the body is left out too long, it could breed all sorts of bacteria and could even lead to an epidemic! Do you understand the consequences of an epidemic starting in the hospital!!!"

Listening to this distressed doctor's incessant complaints, Doctor Xu Zhixing could only offer a wry smile.

This man was his old friend of many years and a renowned medical master in China. However, he had often been abroad, and Xu had not expected to return to Jiangnan and encounter such a situation!

Xu had dragged him here reluctantly, hoping he could see if there was any hope for Shu Yuehua, only to be met with complaints!

"Old Zhang, this time it's different. This female teacher, she's a close female friend of an old comrade of mine. We have to make an exception! Moreover, my old comrade has extraordinary medical skills, perhaps he really can bring the dead back to life!"

Xu Zhixing, feeling helpless, could only explain to the skinny old man.

However, his words only made the thin doctor even more agitated:

"Xu Zhixing, have you gone senile during the two years I've been away from Jiangnan City? How can you even utter such nonsense about bringing the dead back to life? This is medicine, not some sorcery or magic. How could resurrection be possible! Moreover, this female teacher has been dead for more than 12 hours, not even a reborn Hua Tuo could save her!"

The thin doctor scoffed at Doctor Xu Zhixing's words. Having been abroad for so many years, he had seen all the pinnacle medical skills the world had to offer, and he knew well that miraculous revivals from death didn't exist.

Seeing his old comrade's intense reaction, Xu Zhixing shook his head, his expression grave:

"Believe it or not, that's up to you! But this woman's body must remain here, and no one is allowed to move it! Until my old comrade returns, if anything happens, I, Xu Zhixing, will take full responsibility!"

Xu Zhixing's tone was filled with anger, and upon hearing this, the skinny doctor was taken aback, not expecting the usually mild-mannered Xu Zhixing to be so adamant.

"Fine! Xu Zhixing, I'll let you have your way this time. But I must see for myself what tricks your old comrade has up his sleeve, to turn a dead person back to life!"

...

At this moment, while the two doctors were quarreling inside, several weary figures stood in the hallway outside the ICU.

Fang Qingxue, Bai Furong, Red Rose, Li Xian, and Xu Ningxue were all there!

Each of them had tired expressions on their pretty faces. In the tumultuous days that Jiangnan City had undergone, they had become completely exhausted, as if, without that guy around, it weren't just a few days that had passed in Jiangnan but rather years.

Their eyes were red and swollen as they stared at the ICU ward with bitter faces.

They all knew that with Shu Yuehua in such a state, when that man returned, he would surely go mad with grief.

Tap tap tap...

Just as the women anxiously pondered their strategy, the sound of footsteps echoed from the other end of the corridor!

Hearing this noise, Bai Furong's pretty face changed abruptly. She then pulled out her service pistol and aimed it firmly at the other side!

"Qingxue, take them and hide! Those people might have broken in!" Bai Furong's gaze was icy, her finger already resting on the trigger!

Fang Qingxue and the others' faces all changed as they nodded, ready to take cover to one side.

However, at this moment, three figures slowly appeared from the other end of the hallway!

Seeing the figure at the front, the women were all stunned, their beautiful eyes instantly reddening!

He... had returned!

Ye Feng's face was deathly pale, as he quietly walked down the corridor. With every step closer to the ICU intensive care unit, his stride became heavier, as if his feet were leaden!

"Brother Ye..."

Tears streamed down Fang Qingxue's face as she looked at Ye Feng's distraught appearance, feeling a pain that pierced her heart!

Ye Feng nodded at the women without saying much, then slowly pushed open the door to the ICU ward and went inside!

As soon as he entered, the figure of Shu Yuehua came into view.

Looking at the sweetheart who had faded away, at the face that haunted his mind, Ye Feng's eyes instantly reddened, feeling his heart being twisted by a knife.

"Ye Feng, you've finally come back!"

Doctor Xu Zhixing was overjoyed to see Ye Feng, but upon sensing the sorrow emanating from him, he shook his head and sighed deeply:

"The beauty has passed away, restrain your grief..."

Xu Zhixing could feel Ye Feng's pain, just like how he himself had felt nearly dead than alive when he lost his partner years ago.

And the other gaunt doctor, upon hearing this, knowing that the family had arrived, immediately said:

"This teacher has died; you should hurry and move her body to the mortuary. The ICU is not a place to keep a body!"

However, as the gaunt doctor spoke, a chilling glint burst from Ye Feng's eyes.

Staring intensely at the doctor, he resembled a wild beast eager to devour:

"She's not dead..."

Ye Feng's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like the howl of the Hell Demon King, sending shivers down both Xu Zhixing and the gaunt doctor.

They had no doubt that if they dared to say Shu Yuehua was dead again, Ye Feng would certainly make them die first!

The gaunt doctor's lips twitched, wanting to say something else, but he still didn't dare say it out loud.

"Ye Feng, we've placed 88 grindstone flowers around Teacher Shu as you instructed. The rest is up to you now!" Xu Zhixing sighed and said to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng indeed saw the grindstone flowers beside Shu Yuehua; the chill in his expression slightly thawed as he nodded at Xu Zhixing:

"Thank you, Doctor Xu!"

After saying that, Ye Feng took slow steps, one by one, each a pledge of his heart, as he walked towards Shu Yuehua!
