Billionaire’s Journey into the Beast World, Suitors Compete to Be Fed by Her! - Chapter 41

After just a few brief words, Li Xiangyang hung up the phone.

Not long after, the hospital director hurriedly arrived at the ward with a team and began examining Xing Chi.

Mi Yue watched the sudden appearance of the director and felt a bit puzzled. Had Xing Chi’s condition worsened?

“What’s wrong, Director? Is there something wrong with Xing Chi’s health?”

The director lifted Xing Chi’s eyelids to check, then felt his pulse. Everything seemed normal, so where exactly was the problem?

“This is truly strange. It’s been an entire night. The anesthesia should have worn off by now, so why hasn’t this patient woken up yet?”

Standing beside the director was the anesthesiologist, who was now sweating bullets.

The dosage of anesthesia had been correct, so why hadn’t the patient regained consciousness?

If Xing Chi didn’t wake up soon, he was probably doomed.

After a quick examination, the director confirmed that Xing Chi’s bodily functions were all normal, yet he remained unconscious.

“Perhaps this gentleman’s metabolism is slower, and the anesthesia is still taking effect.”

“Combined with his injuries, it’s likely why he’s fallen into a deep sleep. He should wake up once he regains his strength. We can observe him for a while longer.”

With that, the director left with his team.

Not long after the director’s departure, there was another knock at the door.

Mi Yue opened it to find two young men standing outside.

Though they appeared young, their looks were unremarkable, the kind easily lost in a crowd.

“Who are you?”

Mi Yue was confused. These two seemed unfamiliar, maybe they had the wrong room?

“These are the caregivers I hired to take care of Xing Chi,” Li Xiangyang explained.

“There’s no need, I can manage on my own-” Mi Yue began to refuse but was met with a dark, stormy expression.

“If you don’t keep them, Miss, I’ll transfer Xing Chi to a specialized care ward.”

Seeing this, Mi Yue quickly backtracked. “They can stay, they can stay.”

Li Xiangyang nodded in satisfaction.

“Brother Xiangyang, you must be exhausted after staying up all night. You should go home and rest today.”

Touched by the girl’s concern, Li Xiangyang felt a warmth in his heart. “I have a mandatory company meeting to attend. I can’t miss it.”

“I’m leaving now. If anything comes up, have the caregivers handle it, or call me.”

Mi Yue felt even guiltier upon hearing this.

Li Xiangyang was already swamped with work, yet he had stubbornly stayed overnight to help her. Now he had to rush back for a company meeting.

“Brother Xiangyang, you’re pushing yourself too hard. You need more rest.”

“Your health is what matters most. The company won’t collapse without you for a day, and there are plenty of executives there who shouldn’t just be freeloading. Please take it easy and don’t overwork yourself.”

Li Xiangyang felt a surge of warmth at Mi Yue’s earnest advice.

He could see the genuine concern in her eyes and knew her words came from the heart.

“Alright, I understand,” Li Xiangyang replied calmly before turning to leave.

After he left, one of the male caregivers closed the door, and the two stood dutifully by Xing Chi’s side.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Mi Yue’s phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket. She pulled it out and saw that Xiu Ka’s emotions had fluctuated, along with a voice message he had sent.

Mi Yue found a secluded spot to listen to the voice message from Xiu Ka, which was mostly filled with concerns about her safety and inquiries about Xing Chi’s condition.

Mi Yue replied, “Xiu Ka, I’m fine. The place I’m staying now is very safe, and there’s no danger.”

“Xing Chi’s condition has stabilized, but he hasn’t woken up yet. Once he recovers, we’ll return to Tiger City together. Don’t worry, take care of yourself.”

Upon receiving Mi Yue’s reply, Xiu Ka felt relieved knowing she was safe.

However, her message mentioned that Xing Chi hadn’t woken up yet and that she wouldn’t return to Tiger City until he did.

This meant her return date was still uncertain. When would Mi Yue come back?

Xiu Ka’s longing was almost overwhelming. He wanted to find Shaman Yue, but he had no idea where to look.

As Xiu Ka hesitated, Mi Yue’s voice reached him again.

“Xiu Ka, take care of yourself and Grandpa too.”

Hearing her concern lifted Xiu Ka’s spirits slightly. At least she still cared about him.

Several more days passed, and something strange happened.

Xing Chi still hadn’t woken up.

Even if the anesthesia dosage had been miscalculated, he should have regained consciousness by now.

Yet, there were no signs of him waking. His skin had even become dry and cracked.

The hospital director checked on Xing Chi daily, finding all his vital signs normal, except for the fact that he remained unconscious.

This was too strange. Something had to be wrong.

“Miss Mi, this gentleman still hasn’t woken up. We can’t just wait indefinitely. Should we conduct a more thorough examination?”

The director voiced his concerns while seeking Mi Yue’s opinion. In all his years of practice, he had never encountered such a case.

After a moment’s thought, Mi Yue refused.

“No need. He might just be exhausted. Let’s observe him a little longer.”

Mi Yue was worried, if she agreed to let the director examine Xing Chi, his beastman identity might be exposed.

And if that happened, the consequences would be severe.

“Miss Mi, we’ve already observed him for long enough. If we don’t find the cause soon, his life could be in danger.”

The director insisted, puzzled by Mi Yue’s reluctance. Why wouldn’t she agree to a simple examination? It wouldn’t harm Xing Chi in any way.

“It’s fine, Director. Let’s wait a bit longer.”

Mi Yue remained firm.

Without her permission, the director couldn’t proceed with the examination.

After returning to his office, the director, still concerned for the patient’s well-being, called Li Xiangyang directly.

He explained Xing Chi’s condition and Mi Yue’s stance, hoping Li Xiangyang could offer a solution.

Once the director left, Mi Yue grew restless.

What was going wrong? Why hadn’t Xing Chi woken up yet?

Unable to figure it out, she secretly asked her system.

“System, what’s really going on with Xing Chi? Is he not going to wake up?”

[His vital signs are all normal. There’s nothing wrong.]

“But if he doesn’t wake up soon, the director might drag him off for dissection and testing!” Mi Yue scratched her head in frustration.

System: “…”

The system began searching for the reason through the internal browser and found the most plausible solution.

[Host, Xing Chi is a sea beast. He might have been out of water for too long, causing dehydration to affect him, which is why he remains unconscious.]

So that’s the reason!

Mi Yue suddenly understood!
