CHAPTER 4 MEDICAL MIRACLE!
“Sister!!”
?!
The momentum with which this beautiful girl ran was even more astonishing than that of the maid earlier! But it wasn’t just about the momentum. The maid knew how to stop safely before the bed, but this black-haired girl didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping. Her eyes, brimming with tears, were fixed on Ye Zhìbái, showing no signs of braking!
Ye Zhìbái was internally panicked, her heart racing.
Stop, stop, stop…! She’s going to crash into me!
Despite her inner turmoil, Ye Zhìbái’s expression remained impassive, as cool and detached as ever.
Fortunately, there was no actual collision. Just as the black-haired girl neared the edge of the bed, her knees bent, and Ye Zhìbái heard the crisp sound of her knees hitting the smooth floor. The girl slid the last few steps—ouch, that must have hurt.
Then, a few strands of black hair lifted by the breeze mingled with Ye Zhìbái’s own silver locks. The black-haired girl, unable to hold back any longer, choked up and hugged Ye Zhìbái tightly. She didn’t care about Ye Zhìbái’s cold expression and aura; she just wanted to embrace her sister.
Suddenly, a pleasant floral scent filled Ye Zhìbái’s nostrils.
“Wuu… Sister… Sister…!” The girl cried like a child throwing a tantrum.
The term “sister”…
Ye Zhìbái, amidst her confusion, pieced together the reality—so this must be my sister?!
Ye Zhìbái had always dreamed of having a sister. Ah, the orb had mentioned that she was an adopted child, so it’s highly unlikely they were biological sisters… but the way this black-haired girl was holding her felt even closer than real sisters.
Thank you, life, for my first embrace from a beautiful girl—it feels wonderful.
The scene touched the heart of the Ye family maid standing respectfully at the side. Tears welled up in her eyes once more as she witnessed the tender moment. “The second miss is usually so strong and decisive, fierce and fearless in her methods, but only in front of the eldest miss can she show this kind of childlike affection. It’s such a rare and touching sight!”
Wiping her tears, the maid remarked, “Miss… during these two years you were unconscious, the second miss, despite being busy with high school and her studies, still made time every day to take care of you personally. She washed your hair, wiped your body, changed your clothes… she wouldn’t let us maids touch you. All these tasks are our duty… but the second miss is so tender!”
Little did she know…
After saying this, the black-haired girl holding Ye Zhìbái choked up and slowly turned her head. At an angle Ye Zhìbái couldn’t see, the black-haired girl’s eyes were icy cold, as frigid as an arctic expanse.
“Didn’t you… say too much?”
There are things that can be said, and things better left unsaid.
“I’m sorry!!” The maid immediately backed down and kept quiet.
After issuing her warning, the black-haired girl turned back again and immersed herself in the embrace with Ye Zhìbái, devoting herself entirely to the moment.
Er…
Never mind that for now.
What was Ye Zhìbái feeling at the moment? Aside from confusion, the most tangible sensation was definitely physical.
The modest “cotton candies” on her own chest seemed to be pressed by the slightly larger “cotton candies” of the black-haired girl. If Ye Zhìbái’s own were a size B, then the girl before her was definitely a C!
It was a ticklish feeling, hard to describe. How to put it… like riding a swift horse across vast grasslands, racing towards a distant and magical horizon? A feeling of liberating oneself.
And about the scent mentioned earlier, it was likely the natural body fragrance of the girl, far too genuine to be any perfume.
All in all, it was a wonderful sensation. But Ye Zhìbái couldn’t afford to get lost in these small delights. She wasn’t that kind of person.
The situation was getting increasingly complex, and Ye Zhìbái realized she had to start sorting out her relationships in this new life, despite the awkwardness of her current predicament. Gathering her strength, she managed to speak in a soft, melodious voice, which was quite pleasant to the ears, despite the difficulty she had in speaking.
“You are…?”
“Eh?” The black-haired girl, still holding Ye Zhìbái tightly, tears streaming down her face, was taken aback by the question. Her red-rimmed eyes widened in shock.
Gently, she steadied Ye Zhìbái by the shoulders, facing her directly. In the girl’s deep blue eyes, disbelief was evident.
Ah, that was awkward… Ye Zhìbái thought to herself, worried that her direct question was a bit too abrupt. Given the girl’s repeated calls of “sister,” their relationship must have been very close, and such a direct question might have seemed too blunt.
However, after a shock that seemed to last for ages, the black-haired girl exclaimed in disbelief, “Sister, you can actually talk?!” Was I really mute before?! Ah?!
But then, a shade of sorrow washed over the girl’s features. “Sister, you… really forgot about me? The doctor said you hit your head and might have amnesia… Although you’ve always been somewhat aloof and never called me by my name… but sister, I’m Zhìyún, Ye Zhìyún. I’m your sister, do you really not remember me at all?”
Oh dear, sorry kid, I genuinely don’t know you. And it’s not just that I don’t recognize you; this body, before my soul entered it, probably didn’t know you either…
The damned orb had mentioned before sending his soul here that this body was a divine creation—a mere vessel without a soul of its own. Apart from the ability to take care of itself and crudely mimic the speech and actions of those around it, it really had no emotions or thoughts; it was essentially an empty shell. In simple terms, just a staff.
So, sister, why do you care so much about this “staff”? Ye Zhìbái couldn’t understand this attachment.
But now that she possessed her own soul, she was no longer going to be that clueless shell. This girl, named Ye Zhìyún, her sister… hadn’t she just mentioned something about being hit in the head?
Okay, so if I start acting sharper from now on, it will all make sense that I’m no longer just a “staff”? Ye Zhìbái pondered over the situation, trying to find some humor in the bizarre events unfolding around her.
Ye Zhìyún, clearly pained by the earlier conversation, tightened her embrace around Ye Zhìbái once more.
“It’s okay… Sister, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. As long as you are alive and well, that’s all that matters to me… When you were hit by the car, I didn’t know what to do… You were always so out of it before… You don’t know… When the medical maids told me you might spend the rest of your life in a vegetative state, my heart nearly stopped… Even if you were out of it, it’s better than being a vegetable! I’m so glad you woke up…”
“…”
So you’re scolding me now?!
Let me tell you, I promise not to be out of it anymore!
Wait a minute… So, this body was also hit by a car?
Man, do I have a feud with cars or what?
Ye Zhìyún was clearly overwhelmed; she furrowed her brows, holding Ye Zhìbái and not daring to let go, worried that if she did, her sister might close her eyes and become unresponsive again.
Ye Zhìyún stood up straight, cradling Ye Zhìbái protectively in her arms. This positioned Ye Zhìbái’s head right against her chest.
Ye Zhìbái didn’t want it to be like this, but her body was still too weak to resist, and she could only passively experience this soft embrace.
Meanwhile, Ye Zhìyún, without turning her head, addressed the maid still waiting in the corner of the room. Her voice, starkly different from the tenderness she showed when speaking with Ye Zhìbái, was calm yet commanding.
“Why hasn’t the medical maid team arrived yet?”
“R-reporting to the second miss! The medical maid team is packing up the equipment and should be… here they come!”
As she finished speaking, the sound of wheels rolling along the hallway floor approached. Ye Zhìbái, still buried in Ye Zhìyún’s chest, felt her heart rate pick up again.
What now?!
Soon, a formidable group of four middle-aged women dressed in lab coats but wearing white maid hats appeared at the door. They were pushing a large medical equipment cart and rushed in.
If one observed closely, each had a sleeve band embroidered with the “Ye” character. These weren’t hospital doctors but a dedicated elite medical team employed by the Ye family, far more capable than the regular hospital staff.
This bespoke service, tailored for the Ye family’s needs, highlighted the extraordinary lengths to which they went to care for one of their own.
The lead middle-aged woman adjusted her glasses as she saw Ye Zhìbái sitting there, and her surprise was palpable. “Miss… really awake? This is impossible! It was concluded that Miss would remain in a vegetative state for life…”
“Shut up,” Ye Zhìyún snapped, holding Ye Zhìbái’s head closer, her eyes flashing coldly. “My sister has awakened. Stop using those old excuses. If you don’t want to work for the Ye family anymore, you’re free to leave.”
“I’m sorry, Second Miss! We’ll proceed with the examination for the Miss right away!”
Their original purpose for coming was just that. The medical maids fumbled around hurriedly, and Ye Zhìyún reluctantly let go of Ye Zhìbái, though clearly still protective. She wouldn’t allow anyone to speak ill of her sister.
Ye Zhìyún was sensible enough to understand that her sister’s condition needed to be monitored; Ye Zhìbái’s sudden awakening was indeed unusual. The medical maids used small flashlights to check Ye Zhìbái’s eyes, which nearly blinded her with their brightness. Ye Zhìbái also noticed another detail: during the examination, any physical contact required with Ye Zhìbái was carried out by Ye Zhìyún herself.
What’s with your possessiveness over your sister?
“I’m… fine,” Ye Zhìbái managed to croak out, overwhelmed by the fuss.
The medical maids reacted as if they had seen a ghost at her assertion.
The head medical maid turned to report to Ye Zhìyún. “Second Miss, this is indeed very strange, but it’s a miracle. The fact that the Miss only suffered external injuries from the car accident was already a miracle… It’s unscientific. Her brain was damaged and she was supposed to remain in a vegetative state, but her vital signs have suddenly returned to normal. There’s no sign of any illness… She could even be discharged now.”
That last statement was the crux of her report.
“The key point is… the Miss can talk now.”
Ye Zhìbái turned her head, her expression still cool. She blinked her light purple eyes, glistening and clear.
Her gaze met that of everyone in the room.
The room filled with looks that seemed to witness a medical miracle of the century…
