Fade and Master Choi went into the office and began to discuss some serious matters.
After all, Fade had come to see him to search for the herbs to cure Joey.
Upon hearing this, Master Choi gave him his word that he would utilize his connections to help Fade look for herbs in the National Medical College and the Capital City Imperial Hospital.
After expressing his utmost gratitude, Fade said his goodbyes and left the school.
Then, he drove back to his university to Joey's dormitory, planning to pay her a visit.
To his dismay, she looked like she didn't care about him at all and instead, went out with her classmates. She completely ignored his care towards her.
However, back in the dormitory, Fade found Yankee, who had dark circles under her eyes, and was in somewhat low spirits.
He asked with concern, "Yankee, are you ok? Why do you look so exhausted? Have you been very tired recently?"
She smiled forcefully and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, saying, "Brother Chen, I'm fine."
"Are you really okay?" He looked at the tiredness that couldn't be concealed on her face, and he couldn't help but be worried.
"Brother Chen, I'm really fine. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep." Yankee smiled. She picked up a document and was about to go out. "Brother Chen, I still have some things to attend to. I'll leave first..."
Seeing this, Fade frowned. He placed his hands on her shoulders and forced her to sit down. He said with a serious look, "Sit down. Without my permission, you are not going anywhere."
"Brother Chen, my... work..." She frowned.
He grabbed the folder from her grasp and threw it aside, explaining, "Work is not as important as your health."
"Come, give me your hand. Let me check your pulse," he looked at her and requested.
She withdrew her hand and sighed, "No, there's no need to. I'm fine."
"Give me your hand!" Fade didn't care about how he sounded at that moment. He grabbed Yankee's right hand directly and placed it on his thigh. Then, he placed his fingertips on her fair wrist and began to check her pulse.
Soon, he frowned. He quickly dragged her up and said, "Come. Come to the hospital with me."
"Hey! Brother Chen, I'm fine. I don't have to go to the hospital," she hurriedly refused.
He turned to look at her and asked, "If you don't want to go to the hospital, then tell me what's going on? How did you manage to exhaust yourself to this extent?"
"I-I'm feeling pretty good though!" She exclaimed in surprise.
"Pretty good?" He looked solemn, "I just felt your pulse. Did you know that your body is on the verge of extreme fatigue? You may pass out at any moment now, and even die suddenly. Does this sound like a small matter to you?"
"Sudden death!" Hearing this, she was startled. She couldn't help but gasp, "No way!"
"What do you mean 'no way'? Are you doubting my medical skills?" Fade stared at her and asked.
"No, that's not it. Brother Chen, that's not what I meant. I'm just..." Yankee tried to explain.
