In the next moment, not only did Li Menglin speak up, but even Li's mother also expressed her stance.

"Li Menglin, I also believe in your friend. Let's go home!" Li's mother said with a smile as well.

No one knew her current condition better than she did.

Since the sudden change in the family, her head had never felt as comfortable as it did now.

Li's mother had the ability to discern and knew that Meng Lei's treatment could at most save her life, but it was impossible for her to feel this well.

So she also chose to trust Zhang Dong.

Both mother and daughter made the same choice, and the neighbor auntie didn't say anything more. She nodded and instructed the nurse to process the discharge.

Seeing Li's mother insist on being discharged, Meng Lei couldn't help but snort coldly, turned around, and walked away, but before leaving, he shot Zhang Dong a venomous look.

The few nurses present were already stunned. Since they became nurses, they had never encountered such a situation.

What was going on?

A patient who the hospital's attending doctor couldn't save was actually rescued by an outsider, and could even be discharged on the same day!

If this were told to others, no one would believe it, right?

But no matter how much they disbelieved, the fact remained that it had happened.

"Um, I can take you to process the discharge. Who wants to go with me?" a young nurse raised her hand hesitantly.

"I'll handle the discharge! Li Menglin, stay and keep the auntie company!" Zhang Dong said with a smile.

Without waiting for Li Menglin to respond, he turned and left with the nurse.

Zhang Dong knew that Li Menglin's monthly salary was used to pay off debts, so she probably didn't have much money left. That's why he took the initiative to handle the payment and discharge procedures.

After Zhang Dong left, the neighbor auntie looked at his retreating back and suddenly asked Li Menglin in a suggestive tone.

"Li Menglin, who was that handsome young man just now? Is he your boyfriend?"

Hearing this, Li Menglin's face immediately turned red, and she shook her head in denial: "Auntie, don't joke around. He's my classmate. We met at the class reunion today."

"Is that so! But I noticed he seemed quite concerned about you. This young man is tall, handsome, and skilled in medicine. He's a great catch! Li Menglin, you should seize this opportunity and not let such a good young man be taken by someone else." The neighbor auntie laughed.

This made Li Menglin even more bashful, but it also reminded her.

The current Zhang Dong was completely different from the one in high school.

Not only did he possess medical skills that could bring people back from the brink of death, but he could also associate with big shots like the boss of a high-end club.

Moreover, Li Menglin knew that Zhang Dong was acquainted with the female owner of Dongzhou Restaurant.

He was so outstanding that he must have many girls around him, and he probably even had a girlfriend!

Thinking of this, Li Menglin's eyes couldn't help but dim.

After Zhang Dong paid the fees and completed the discharge procedures, everyone took a taxi back to Li Menglin's home.

It was truly miraculous. Once Zhang Dong removed all the silver needles from Li's mother's head, she could get up immediately and claimed that she felt better than ever, even capable of mopping the floor and cooking.

Zhang Dong didn't stop her.

For Li's mother, who had struggled on the brink of life and death, this action was undoubtedly a way to comfort Li Menglin.

He didn't point it out but prescribed a blood-activating and qi-regulating medicine for Li's mother, instructing Li Menglin to get it the next day and boil it for her mother every day.

In seven days, Zhang Dong would give Li's mother another acupuncture session, and then another one after another seven days.

By then, Li's mother's cerebral thrombosis would be completely cured.

Additionally, Zhang Dong advised Li Menglin that for a period of time, their meals should be light, and they should avoid using animal fats and ordering takeout.

In fact, Li's mother's cerebral thrombosis, which seemed to have appeared recently, was actually a latent illness from the past.

When Li Menglin's family hadn't encountered any changes, Li's mother often took various so-called health supplements and nutrients, and her diet was not well-regulated, leading to high blood lipids.

After hearing Zhang Dong's advice, Li Menglin nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood.

At this moment, Li's mother was resting in the bedroom, leaving only Zhang Dong and Li Menglin in the living room.

Li Menglin took out her phone and, looking at Zhang Dong's handsome profile, said, "Zhang Dong, how much did you spend on my mother's discharge? I'll transfer the money to you now."

"No need!" Zhang Dong smiled and waved his hand. "It wasn't much. Besides, it's my first time meeting your auntie, and I didn't bring any gifts. Consider today's treatment and discharge fees as my gift to her."

Li Menglin frowned and refused, "No, that's not right. You helping my mother is already the best gift you could give her, but the discharge fees are different."

Zhang Dong was helpless and had to say, "Then consider it a gift to you. One for your auntie, one for you."

Hearing that Zhang Dong was giving her a gift, Li Menglin couldn't help but feel nervous, avoiding his gaze and looking at his feet instead.

"Give... give a gift? Why would you give me a gift?"

Li Menglin's two small hands were clasped together, and her shy and timid appearance was incredibly cute.

Seeing how cute she was, Zhang Dong couldn't help but want to tease her. He deliberately drew out his words.

"Of course... to pursue you!"

Hearing Zhang Dong's last few words, Li Menglin's face turned red instantly.

Her head lowered completely, and she squeezed out a few soft words.

"R... really?"

Zhang Dong smiled mischievously, "Whether it's real or not, you'll have to figure it out yourself! It's getting late, I need to go back. When you cook for your auntie, remember to keep it light. I'll come back in seven days to give her another acupuncture session. If anything happens in between, call me."

Without waiting for Li Menglin to respond, Zhang Dong hurriedly left.

Seeing Zhang Dong leave like that, Li Menglin was somewhat stunned.

After a while, she frowned cutely and stomped her foot in frustration.

"Zhang Dong, you're so bad! Teasing me like that!"

If Zhang Dong were there, he would be stunned by Li Menglin's embarrassed and angry expression.

In high school, Li Menglin, the class beauty, had never shown such an expression!

The trip back was quite troublesome. Zhang Dong first took a taxi to the restaurant where they had the reunion, then rode a tricycle back home.

By the time he got home, dinner was already ready, waiting for Zhang Dong to come back and eat.

"You, you finally came back? You must have had a lot to drink at the reunion, right?" Zhang Zhaodi, his sister, scolded him as soon as she saw him.

Zhang Dong scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "We didn't drink much at the reunion. I could have come back earlier, but a classmate's mother suddenly fell ill and went to the hospital. I helped treat her."

"Really? How is your friend's mother now?" Zhang Zhaodi asked hurriedly.

Zhang Dong patted his chest, "How else? Of course, she's fine! I'll give her two more acupuncture sessions, and she'll be completely recovered! Isn't your brother amazing?"

"Am... amazing!"

Zhang Zhaodi's words trailed off halfway through.

Because a certain scene flashed through her mind: she and Zhang Dong lying in bed, Zhang Dong patting his chest and asking if he was amazing.
