Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 518: Chapter 515 Invisibility

Huo Sining was just about to speak when she suddenly felt a wave of confusion at Auntie Li’s words.

She was standing in the living room not ten meters away from Auntie, completely unobstructed, and entirely visible.

What baffled Huo Sining even more was that Su Qingqing actually nodded in response to Auntie Li’s words, didn’t say a second word, and went upstairs, even brushing past her, without seemingly noticing her at all, and hurried up the stairs with a clatter.

I’m dizzy, what’s going on here?

Huo Sining found it very strange. Auntie Li and Su Qingqing didn’t seem like they were pretending or joking with her; they were in earnest, which made a bizarre thought flash through her mind.

Quietly walking into the kitchen, Huo Sining waved her hand in front of Auntie Li’s eyes, only to find that Auntie didn’t react at all, as if she truly couldn’t see her.

Now, Huo Sining was completely confused. Could this be... Invisibility Technique?

Meanwhile, Su Qingqing had searched Huo Sining’s room upstairs, then ran down to the basement to look, but didn’t find Huo Sining anywhere, and became anxious. She came to the kitchen to ask Auntie Li, ”Auntie, I didn’t see Ningning anywhere, is she not at home?”

”Not at home? She was just in the living room, she must be around. Keep looking.”

I’m right in front of you, okay? Huo Sining’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat. She wanted to make a sound and signal them, but was afraid of scaring them and revealing her ability, so she endured it until Su Qingqing walked out of the kitchen, then followed her into the living room.

Su Qingqing took out her phone to call Huo Sining, but the phone rang upstairs. Watching Su Qingqing run around like a headless fly, Huo Sining couldn’t help but snicker.

Having had her fun, she started to worry. The Invisibility Technique was fun, but how was she to dispel it?

Subconsciously, Huo Sining thought of the incantation again, and just then Su Qingqing came rushing down from upstairs, and stopped in her tracks, ”Ningning, there you are! Where have you been hiding? I’ve been looking for you so many times!”

Huo Sining felt amused, it seemed the Invisibility Spell could be lifted just like that. Seeing the worried look on Su Qingqing’s face, Huo Sining was puzzled, ”Why are you in such a hurry to find me?”

Su Qingqing now couldn’t afford to explain and pulled Huo Sining outside, ”Let’s go, I’ll explain in the car.”

Once they got in the car, Su Qingqing started driving away with Huo Sining, who couldn’t help but ask, ”What’s the matter, really?”

Su Qingqing pursed her lips, ”Professor Gan has fallen ill!”

”Ill?” Huo Sining became worried at this news, ”What illness? Is she in the hospital or at home?”

”In the hospital, she’s been unconscious. That’s why I’m taking you to see if your massage technique might help.”

Huo Sining nodded, ”Professor Gan has always been in good health, how could she suddenly fall ill?”

As Su Qingqing spoke, a look of bewilderment appeared in her eyes:

”I also find it strange. I remember the professor’s wife being very healthy and never heard of such an illness. It seems like a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. I just learned about it after calling Professor Xie, and I didn’t have time to ask more.”

The car made its way to the hospital, and after inquiring, Huo Sining and Su Qingqing, carrying some nutritional products, arrived at the ward where Professor Gan was staying. To their surprise, they saw Qin Shaoyou coming out of the ward before they even entered.

”Teacher Qin, how is Professor Gan doing?”

Upon seeing Qin Shaoyou, Huo Sining anxiously inquired.

Qin Shaoyou’s face was somber, and after glancing at Huo Sining, he shook his head and said, ”He hasn’t woken up yet. The doctor said we have to wait until tomorrow. After he wakes up, they’ll observe his condition for a while before deciding whether surgery is necessary.”

Hearing this, Huo Sining and Su Qingqing exchanged a glance, both somewhat startled—neither of them had expected the situation to be so serious.

”Is Professor Xie in there too?” Huo Sining asked.

Qin Shaoyou nodded, ”Since he was brought in last night, Professor Xie has been keeping vigil, without closing his eyes.”

Huo Sining fell silent for a moment and then suddenly asked, ”Can I go in to see him?”

Qin Shaoyou nodded and led Huo Sining and Su Qingqing into the ward, where Professor Xie was dozing off at Professor Gan’s bedside. Startled by the noise, he jerked awake and, with eyes bloodshot, looked at Huo Sining and Su Qingqing: ”You’re here.”

Without bothering to exchange pleasantries with Xie Daoyuan, Huo Sining went straight to the bedside. As her hand touched the bed, her Heavenly Eye opened and she looked towards Professor Gan’s body.

After not seeing her for a while, Professor Gan’s face had sunken in, her complexion deathly pale with a tinge of blue under her eyes, clearly having suffered a severe illness. Moreover, the crow’s feet on her face became apparent, and white hair sprouted at her temples, making her appear much older.

This was a stark contrast to the elegant and intellectual woman Huo Sining had first seen when she visited the Xie Family, and the sight of Gan Lijun in such a condition made Huo Sining’s heart ache.

Cerebral hemorrhage refers to bleeding caused by rupture of blood vessels within the brain substance not due to external injury, mainly associated with cerebrovascular disease. It is often related to diabetes, aging blood vessels, and sudden spikes in blood pressure. Because of its rapid onset and critical condition, it has a very high mortality rate and is the most severe among acute cerebrovascular diseases.

Through her Heavenly Eye Skill, Huo Sining indeed saw multiple ruptured vessels in Professor Gan’s head, internal bruising in the brain, with part of it even pressing on the nerves, causing a large hematoma.

Seeing this, Huo Sining subconsciously frowned, and while others weren’t paying attention, she quietly slipped her hand under the blanket where the professor lay.

Luckily, after a night’s rest, the Azure Pearl’s Spiritual Energy had recovered, so treating the professor at this time wasn’t a difficult task. The Spiritual Energy traveled up through the professor’s arm to reach inside the skull.

Since the ailment was inside the skull, Huo Sining dared not increase the amount of Spiritual Energy, fearing the professor couldn’t withstand it, and only a very fine strand of Spiritual Energy was allowed to flow slowly into the skull.

Unexpectedly, just five minutes later, a nurse walked in to change Professor Gan’s dressing. Huo Sining had to stand up and walk away from the bedside.

With a hoarse voice, Professor Xie issued an order for the students to leave: ”You two go back. She hasn’t woken up yet, and you can’t help much by staying here. Let’s wait until the doctor gives a definite diagnosis tomorrow.”

Su Qingqing wanted to suggest that Huo Sining try using Qigong Massage Technique, but seeing that Professor Xie looked quite unwell, she did not feel it was appropriate to speak such words at that time.

Huo Sining felt helpless. To cure Professor Gan’s illness, she needed to repair the ruptured vessels first and then gradually clear away the clots.

But obviously, the short five minutes just now were not enough; the brain’s structure is delicate and would require more time than it took to treat leg ailments.
