Chapter 564 Mother Lu is Critically Ill

"What? Madam Lu's illness is so strange?"

Doctor He's voice rang out in the dark alley.

Miss Du, holding a dim lamp in her hand, walked hurriedly: "That's what Madam Lu and the others told me. I felt sorry for her with such a big belly, so I asked her to go back and take care of the old lady. I came to invite you over personally."

Doctor He kept walking, but he kept complaining, "What's the point of me going there for such a serious illness? If you hadn't come to invite me, no one else would have been able to."

Miss Du was helpless: "Mrs. Lu also said that she knew that doctors would not treat emergencies, but she really had no other choice but to come to me for help. Her family is of good character, and the old lady has a very good temper. I really can't bear to see her suffer like this."

If she didn't save him, she would probably live in torment for the rest of her life.

"They just took advantage of you because you're soft-hearted and easy to bully!" Doctor He sighed. "You silly girl, why don't you learn something else? Why don't you learn to be as open-hearted as your father? Wasn't Miss Zhou enough for you to endure?"

When this topic was brought up, Miss Du suddenly fell silent.

How could she not know her own shortcomings? But...

"If everyone is indifferent, the world will be even worse." She said softly, "Godfather, it is because of people like us that the order in Qingzhou City is so good."

Doctor He looked at her with a hint of sadness in his eyes. "How come no one likes such a good girl like you? It's all that Zhou's fault! The hatred your father incurred has now fallen on you!"

Since the previous prefect died suddenly for no apparent reason, a new prefect of Qingzhou was sent from the capital, and the Zhou family quietly rose to prominence at that time.

The Zhou family has officials backing them up, so they are so arrogant and domineering. Although those people dare not provoke the Du family openly, they will destroy the order that has been established with great difficulty in Qingzhou City.

At that time, Mr. Du disliked the Zhou family very much. When his temper flared up, he would start to destroy the Zhou family and often went to their house to challenge them.

It was not until Miss Du went out one day and was almost drugged that Mrs. Du realized something was wrong and stopped Mr. Du's behavior. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened.

Righteous people who try to deal with the rats in the gutter in an open and fair manner will never end up in trouble.

It was because of this that the relationship between the Zhou family and the Du family was not good. Later, the new prefect specially mediated for them, and the two families could only maintain a superficial relationship.

After all, the Du family has a century-old martial arts family background, and in Qingzhou City, they are definitely superior to the Zhou family.

But it is not the same for the younger generation. Ever since Ms. Zhou came to prominence, Ms. Du has no place in mainstream public opinion.

Miss Du thought of her own uncertain marriage and sighed slightly: "It's a good thing to go out and have some fun. It will save my mother and the others from forcing me to go on blind dates again."

"Since the Lu family is a nice family, let them help you. It's never a bad thing to make friends with good people." Doctor He thought of another aspect.

A figure suddenly flashed through Miss Du's mind, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.

After entering the Lu Mansion, Doctor He took Lu's mother's pulse, his brows furrowed more and more.

The Lu family members gathered around the bed anxiously, but did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Doctor He's diagnosis.

After a while, Doctor He shook his head and said, "Her illness is a long-standing one, and there are also some signs of poisoning. It's just that I am not well-educated and cannot recognize it."

Lu Yunjue's words were filled with anxiety: "Then do you know why she suddenly fell into a coma?"

Doctor He shook his head. "To be honest, all I can do is prescribe some tonics for her. Judging by her current pulse, I'm afraid she won't live more than six months."

"What?" These words fell on the Lu family like a bolt from the blue.

"How is that possible?" Hu Xin'er was the first to refute. "Old Man Dou has already said that as long as we take the medicine on time, we will be able to eliminate all the toxins!"

Doctor He not only likes others to question him, but he can also understand everyone's excited emotions.

He asked Hu Xin'er for the prescription that Lu's mother had been taking, and nodded in realization: "With such a rare medicinal ingredient, there is no way it can really be cured. But for some reason, this..."

Old Man Dou made a draft on the back of the prescription, which clearly stated Lu's mother's symptoms at the time, as well as some of the reasons and doubts about the use of the medicine.

It can be seen from the prescription that Lu's mother's condition at that time was not as serious as it is now.

"So, mother's condition has worsened?" After listening to Doctor He's explanation, Mu Qing grasped the key point, his eyes revealing disbelief.

"How could that be? Doctor He, please take a closer look. My mother's condition showed signs of improvement a few days ago!" Lu Yunjue couldn't help but raise his voice. Although he had been extremely restrained, his hands still unconsciously grasped Doctor He tightly, and even his fingertips were shaking slightly.

Doctor He reached out and tapped his wrist a few times. Lu Yunjue didn't realize that he was being acupunctured and retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

He looked at his mother lying in bed, recalled the past, and then looked at the slightly dissatisfied Doctor He. He said in a daze, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure. Doctor He, you must save my mother!"

"I will do my best." Doctor He felt that this matter was extremely tricky. With his current level of medical skills, he could only advise Hu Xiner and others to be mentally prepared.

This is the situation that all doctors fear most.

Miss Du stood in front of him, and said with a little caution, "Don't worry, everyone. My godfather will definitely do his best to treat the old lady. But he is already old after all, so I hope you won't put too much pressure on him."

After suffering such a huge blow, the Lu family was a little distracted for a while, especially Mu Qing. Ever since he asked that question, he stared at Lu's mother in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

Hu Xin'er suppressed her sadness and worry and replied to Miss Du, "Dr. He is able to help treat me in the middle of the night. Our family is extremely grateful, but..."

Her voice trembled. "My mother was so energetic a few days ago, saying she might be recovering soon. But now she's suddenly fallen into a coma. We really can't accept it!"

Miss Du and Doctor He looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

After a long while, Doctor He said leisurely, "When human power is limited, I can only ensure that I give it my all. Recently, several old friends of mine have also rushed here for the Miraculous Medicine Conference. I can go back and ask them again."

He was able to do this for the Lu family, so everyone in the Lu family was extremely grateful and thanked him repeatedly.
