Chapter 65

"Alright, I'll head home right away."

Hanging up the phone, Miaoling's beautiful eyes were already brimming with tears, which made Su Yang's heart ache. He asked with concern, "What happened?"

"My grandfather... is in critical condition..."

Miaoling choked out, "Su Yang, I need to go back to Shenyang immediately."

"I'll go with you."

Su Yang looked at the tearful Miaoling with affection and smiled brightly, "With me here, everything will be fine."

Miaoling had witnessed Su Yang's various wonders firsthand. Although she didn't know he had the ability to heal, at this critical moment, Su Yang's words gave her a sense of strong reliance. She leaned against Su Yang, showing her feminine tenderness, and nodded, biting her lip softly, "Okay."

They boarded a military aircraft and quickly arrived at the Shenyang Military Region General Hospital. In front of the special care ward, Miaoling learned about her grandfather's condition from the chief physician.

Miaochangsheng had always been in good health, but this sudden critical illness was an unexpected event. As the commander of the Shenyang Military Region, he had been reviewing the training of the troops almost every day, especially with the upcoming major military competition among the seven military regions.

Yesterday, while inspecting the 39th Army, Miaochangsheng encountered an artillery unit's drill. In a moment of excitement, he personally loaded and fired a shell. Unfortunately, the shell exploded in the barrel, causing severe injuries. He had four broken ribs, multiple burns, and significant blood loss, putting his life in critical condition.

When Miaoling arrived, the entire Mia family was already at the hospital. The Mia family was a military dynasty, though not comparable to the founding heroes like Zhou Lao and Lu Lao, they were still very prominent. Most of the family members served in the military, with the exception of Miaoling, who had carved out a successful career in the National Security Department.

Miaochangsheng's eldest son, Miaozhengxuan, and Miaoling's father, was pulling his daughter aside, saying something.

"Ailing, your grandfather probably won't last a few more days. You need to be prepared," Miaozhengxuan said heavily.

"Grandfather will be fine, I don't want to hear that, I don't want to hear that."

Miaoling was the most beloved grandchild in the Mia family, with a deep bond with her grandfather. Hearing this, her eyes welled up with tears, and she shook her head, "Dad, think of a way. If the General Hospital can't treat him, we'll change hospitals, or we'll find a doctor who can treat him, okay?"

"Ah, Ailing, I know you're upset, but Dad is also in pain..."

Miaozhengxuan sighed deeply and said with a pained expression, "As long as there's a glimmer of hope, we won't give up."

At this moment, Miaochangsheng's second son, Miaozhengde, and his only son, Miaoguanyu, walked over. "Brother, the doctor just said that the medication is only keeping Grandfather alive. At most, he has three to five days, at least... two days..."

Miaozhengxuan and Miaozhengde moved to the side to talk. Then Miaozhengde walked over to Miaoling, patted her shoulder, and said, "Grandfather is already beyond saving. Save your tears for later. Many people are watching us. Show some composure."

Miaoling had little affection for this cousin who had always been against her and looked down on her. She glared at him, wiped the tears from her eyes, and said coldly, "Grandfather will be fine, definitely."

Miaozhengde snorted and turned to make a phone call, clearly not too concerned about Miaochangsheng's life.

At this moment, Su Yang stretched and walked over to Miaoling, pointing at Miaozhengde not far away, and frowned, "Is that guy asking for a beating?" With his heightened senses, Su Yang had heard Miaozhengde's words to Miaoling.

Miaoling shook her head weakly, "Su Yang, don't mind him. I'm fine, thank you for coming with me. I didn't expect Grandfather to be..."

At this point, Miaoling couldn't hold back her sadness and leaned on Su Yang's shoulder, crying. In no time, his shoulder was soaked with her tears.

Su Yang couldn't bear to see women cry, especially since he considered Miaoling his own. He held her shoulders and looked into her eyes, "You and your grandfather have a deep bond, right? If he passes away, you'll be very sad, won't you?"

Miaoling nodded subconsciously and choked out, "I was raised by Grandfather and Grandmother since I was young. A few years ago, Grandmother passed away, and now, even Grandfather..."

"Alright, my lady, can you stop crying?"

Seeing that Miaoling was crying again, Su Yang said helplessly, "I'll go into the ward and see if I can save your grandfather."

If someone else had said this, even a renowned doctor, Miaoling would have found it hard to believe, given her knowledge of Miaochangsheng's injuries. But when Su Yang said it, his calm tone made Miaoling, who had witnessed his many wonders, feel a tremor in her heart. She felt as if she had found a lifeline, and hope sprang up in her heart.

"Su Yang, are you serious?"

Miaoling grabbed Su Yang's sleeve, her eyes full of expectation, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that. You can do it, you can save my grandfather."

Su Yang smiled understandingly and, to make her feel better, whispered in her ear, "I cured Lu Lao's illness..."

Hearing this, Miaoling's beautiful eyes widened, and she stared at Su Yang for a long time without speaking. Su Yang could feel that the strength with which the tall girl was holding his arm increased, and the hope in her eyes grew even brighter. Her sobs gradually subsided.

This scene caught the attention of Miaozhengde, who had just finished his phone call. He snorted, "Truly shameless, pulling and tugging with a stranger in public. The Mia family's reputation is ruined."

As the only male in the third generation of the Mia family, Miaozhengde had always been proud and arrogant. At 26, he had already reached the rank of major. In his view, this was not just due to the family's influence but also his own outstanding abilities and talents.

However, Miaochangsheng had always been very strict with him, never praising him directly. Instead, he often praised Miaoling and used her as an example to teach Miaozhengde, which was the main reason for Miaozhengde's dislike of Miaoling.

At this moment, Miaoling, without any hesitation, grabbed Su Yang's hand and quickly walked toward the special care ward, which left the Mia family members present stunned. After all, Miaoling had always had high standards, and no one had ever heard of her dating anyone, not even her parents.

"Cousin, what are you doing, bringing a stranger into the ward? Do you want to cause more chaos?" Miaozhengde suddenly blocked the ward door, giving Su Yang a cold look.

"Move aside, he's my boyfriend. Why can't he go in to see Grandfather?" With Su Yang's words, "I cured Lu Lao's illness," Miaoling felt more confident and stood her ground.

"Even if he's your boyfriend, he's not a member of the Mia family. Grandfather is the commander of the military region, not just any young man can approach him," Miaozhengde said, looking at Su Yang with disdain.

"Miaozhengde, don't be too overbearing," Miaoling said angrily, seeing that Su Yang was willing to help but was blocked by her overbearing cousin. "If you don't move, don't blame me for being impolite."

"What, after a few years in the National Security Department, you think you're so powerful? Hmph, what's wrong with me not letting a stranger into Grandfather's ward? What can you do to me?" Miaozhengde noticed the elders' attention and stood his ground.

Su Yang was clearly losing patience. He gave Miaozhengde a cold look and, without any visible action, released a force that sent him flying a few meters away, landing on his buttocks.

After that, Su Yang entered the ward and said, "No one is to enter while I'm inside."

The door to the special care ward slammed shut. It took a moment for the people present to react, but except for Miaoling, no one could connect Miaozhengde's sudden fall with Su Yang.

"Ailing, who is that person, and why did you let him go into your grandfather's ward alone?"

Miaozhengxuan rushed over, frowning and asking. He was about to open the door to drive Su Yang out but was stopped by his daughter, who bit her lip and said, "Dad, let Su Yang check on Grandfather. Maybe he can help."

"Nonsense, what does that young man know? Move aside," Miaozhengxuan said unhappily.

"Dad, please, for me, let him try," Miaoling pleaded, unable to explain Su Yang's ability to heal. She stood in front of the door, "If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."

At this moment, Miaoguanyu had already gotten up, not understanding how he had fallen. He walked over and said coldly, "You take responsibility? Can you handle it?"

Miaoling glared back at him defiantly and remained silent.

Miaozhengxuan knew his daughter's stubborn nature. Seeing her stand her ground, he sighed and said, "Give him five minutes."

Miaoguanyu, seeing his uncle in charge speak, could not further pressure Miaoling. He crossed his arms and watched, waiting to mock Su Yang after he left the ward.

Inside the special care ward, Su Yang stood by the bed, looking at Miaochangsheng, who was wrapped in bandages and kept alive by life support. He then placed his hand on Miaochangsheng's pulse, channeling a vital force of the Azure Sky True Qi into his body.

After a moment, Su Yang's initially relaxed expression turned into a frown. The Azure Sky True Qi circulated through Miaochangsheng's body, smoothing his meridians and infusing him with vitality, but it could not save his half-dead life. At most, it could extend his life by a few more days.

This was unexpected for Su Yang. Although he was not an expert in medicine, he relied on the Azure Sky True Qi, which was like a miraculous elixir. If the Azure Sky True Qi could not save a life, Su Yang's options were limited.

Miaochangsheng's condition was dire. His internal injuries were secondary and had been alleviated by the Azure Sky True Qi. The key issue was his age and the severe external injuries, including significant blood loss, burns, and broken ribs. These were difficult to heal, not because of a lack of medical means, but because of his advanced age and poor recovery ability.

"This is a bit troublesome. But I promised the tall girl, and it would be embarrassing if I couldn't save him."
