Chapter 1404 - A Mysterious Family Background
The High Priest’s right-hand man said, “High Priest, the Holy Lady has already been missing without a single hint of an appearance for 23 years. What if we can’t find her?”
“That’s not possible! We will definitely find the Holy Lady!” the High Priest insisted adamantly.
Suddenly, the High Priest recalled something and said, “When the Holy Lady was taken away all those years ago, she had a jade pendant from the Holy Lady Clan on her. We’ll be able to confirm that she is indeed the Holy Lady when we see it.”
The high priest entered the main hall hurriedly with his right-hand man. At the same moment, Jun Xiqing left with Ping Ping, brushing against the High Priest as they left.
…
In the car, Ping Ping looked at Jun Xiqing and said, “Your Highness, what are we going to do now?”
Jun Xiqing looked at the lights flying past her window outside, her bright eyes lost and blank. Country Z had been her responsibility for her entire life and all she had wanted was to protect her home and her country. But all of a sudden, she was no longer from the Jun Family and had no link to Country Z anymore.
The world was vast and she had lost her home. What was she to do with her life now? The life she had lived for 23 years had collapsed all of a sudden and she couldn’t help but feel sad.
Jun Xiqing looked at his hands. They were strong and bony yet pale and beautiful, hands of a doctor.
At this moment, someone knocked politely on the door. Jun Xiqing lifted her head and saw a tall figure standing outside the door. It was Lu Yeming.
He was in a black coat today, with a black suit underneath it. A tasseled brooch hung on his chest and shone brightly. He stood tall and straight as his narrow eyes landed on her small face.
He was here.
Jun Xiqing looked at him and shut her eyes, the corners of her lips curving up slightly.
No matter what, he was still pretty good to her.
…
After the examination, Lu Yeming and Sikong Heng stood in the corridor discussing her case.
Sikong Heng took off his coat and put on a white coat. “President Lu, Miss Jun’s face has been poisoned. I’ll have to investigate it, but I can operate on Miss Jun’s throat to help her regain her voice.”
Looking into the room at Jun Xiqing’s sleeping figure, he said, “Prepare the operation theater now then.”
Sikong Heng nodded and looked at the nurse. “Prepare the theater at once. I also need a good female assistant.”
A good female assistant?
The nurse was troubled. How ‘good’ did Doctor Sikong need his female assistant to be?
Sikong Heng usually had his own assistant but he had rushed over to cure Jun Xiqing this time and had left his assistant at The Herbal Room. It would be a privilege for anyone to work with Doctor Sikong on an operation, but this was a daunting task as well.
No one would dare to assist without adequate knowledge, and this operation was a highly difficult one.
The nurse wasn’t sure what to do.
Sikong Heng looked at her and asked, “What, is that very hard?”
The nurse turned red and stuttered, “Doctor Sikong, it’s no… no problem. I’ll go look for her at once.”
…
As Sikong Heng put on white gloves and his mask, Jun Xiqing was wheeled into the operation theater. He was inspecting several numbers on a piece of paper.
At this moment the door of the operation theater was pushed open and a slim figure entered.
His female assistant was here.
Sikong Heng lifted his eyes to take a look. She was in a long white gown, her figure beautiful and clean. He couldn’t see her face as she had her mask on but could tell that she had a pair of alluring, beautiful eyes.
Sikong Heng’s hand holding his pen slowly froze. Those eyes were… familiar.
Bai Xue looked at Sikong Heng, her beautiful eyes calm. “Doctor Sikong, you can start the operation now.”
Sikong Heng handed the pen and paper over to the nurse. “Let’s start.”
The light in the operation theater lit up and the operation started. Jun Xiqing’s vocal cords had been scalded badly and the operation was going to take about three hours.
