Wu Lai disregarded everything else, saying, "She's injured and frail. I'm fine, but she's more important..."
Wu Lai was anxious about Song Xiwei's safety, and when he said these words, the doctor frowned in displeasure, "Everyone is born of parents, so how can one be more important than the other? Besides, how is she weak? I think she has the strength to kill ten oxen."
"Hey, doctor, how can you talk like that? She's injured and unconscious, didn't you see? I brought her all this way to see a doctor, waited in line for so long, just so you could treat her wounds, and you're still scolding her like this!" Wu Lai seemed approachable, but since childhood, he had always been the first to jump out if anyone did anything to harm Song Xiwei.
Although he and Song Xiwei are not blood-related siblings, their relationship is closer than that of blood-related siblings.
Song Xiwei was someone he cherished and raised, the most important person to him.
Although Wu Laiye and Song Xiwei often bickered, they could say whatever they wanted as friends, but not a single word could be said about other people.
Therefore, even those who come seeking medical treatment have to pay money, and doctors who do not respect people will not be respected.
He picked up Song Xiwei and was about to leave when the other person stopped him.
"If you want her to live, you'd better not carry her around anymore. That will only accelerate the flow of the poison in her body, and she will die even faster."
The doctor's words immediately made Wu Lai obediently put Song Xiwei down. "Doctor, you must save her. We'll pay any price, we have money..."
"Let's go inside." This doctor usually sets up a stall at the entrance to see patients, but because it's snowing heavily, and Song Xiwei is injured and can't sit up, he can only go inside and let her lie down to see if he can use acupuncture to remove the poison or some other method to detoxify her.
Song Xiwei was carried by Wu Lai and placed into the small bed inside. The doctor waved his hand and said, "You can go out and wait now."
“No, my sister and brother can’t be inside alone. I have to stay here with them,” Wu Lai said, shaking his head.
The doctor glanced at Song Xiwei, then looked at Wu Lai. "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Although you're her brother, she's still a woman. She's all grown up. Are you sure you don't want to avoid this? Won't this tarnish her reputation? Don't you, as her brother, have any sense of propriety?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Lai opened his mouth wide in surprise, "How do you know she's a woman? You said men and women shouldn't touch each other, but I thought you were a man. It would be even more worrying for you two, a man and a woman alone together, so of course I have to keep an eye on you!"
"Then take her away quickly. Remember to prepare a coffin as soon as possible. Her poison is something that no one in the whole city can cure except me."
Wu Lai was speechless. "Doctors are all compassionate, how can you, a doctor, speak so venomously! Doctors should have the heart of a parent, you have to save her..."
"Then follow my rules. You can leave now. Besides, you said that a doctor's heart is like a parent's. I have no romantic feelings for her. How can you say anything will happen? To me, she is just an ordinary patient, nothing more. If you trust me to treat her, go outside and wait. But let me make this clear: it will take at least six hours for her poison to be completely cured. If you get too cold outside, you can go to another warm place to wait. You can come back after six hours."
Upon hearing this, Wu Lai didn't feel that six hours was a long time at all. As long as Song Xiwei's poison could be eradicated, he was willing to wait as long as it took.
"I will wait patiently. I'm entrusting my sister to you!"
After Wu Lai closed the door and left, the doctor walked to the bedside. Looking at Song Xiwei, whose face was pale and whose breathing was barely audible, he frowned, took Song Xiwei's right hand, and then intertwined his fingers with his own. Sure enough, a strange scene appeared. Where there was nothing on their ring fingers, a faint red string appeared.
