Who is your brother?
"This... I'm sorry, I can't tell you."
Su Ying had already expected this; how could she possibly betray her brother? She was just asking casually.
"Since you believe everything your brother says, the information he found might be exaggerated. I'm not as capable as your brother claims."
The man's lips curled slightly. "You're too modest. You can cure cases that even hospitals can't handle. Besides, I never make things difficult for people. I must have a sure chance of winning if I asked you to come."
Su Ying raised an eyebrow. If they thought so highly of her, it seemed they had evaluated her medical skills.
"I wonder who you went through all this trouble to bring me here to treat? I've already observed the whole room, and there's no one here who needs treatment. You all seem to be in very good health."
The man smiled slightly. As expected of the woman he risked his life to invite, she was indeed capable. She could tell from observation that everyone in the room was healthy.
"The patient you need to see isn't here. Please follow me."
Since she was already here, she had no choice but to go with them, otherwise she and her unborn child would be in danger.
Following the man's footsteps, they arrived at a secluded courtyard. Su Ying was surprised by how beautiful and secluded it was, suggesting that the family was well-off.
Looking at the man walking ahead, Su Ying felt he looked more and more familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
It's really frustrating how someone with a rigid mind would freeze up at a crucial moment.
The saying goes, "Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years," and after having three babies, her mind became even more muddled, and her memory worsened.
He can't remember people who look very familiar; he's definitely a pig-brain.
Once outside, the man pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Su Ying.
"The person is in bed, could you please take a look?"
Su Ying was speechless. Judging from the woman's face, she was someone who had been ill for a long time. Why did they bring her here for treatment instead of sending her to the hospital?
This brainpower is truly bizarre.
“She looks very ill. You should take her to the hospital instead of… arresting me. After all, I’m an unlicensed doctor, far inferior to those with licenses.”
The man sighed, "We've already seen doctors, but there's nothing they can do, nothing that can cure her... Let's go home and spend her last days with her."
Su Ying frowned. The doctor had already given her the answer, but now he was making things difficult for her.
She's not Hua Tuo reincarnated. Although my grandmother was a legendary doctor, she didn't have the ability to bring the dead back to life. You really think too highly of her.
"The doctor has already given the answer, why are you trying to take it back? What's the point?"
"Yes, I do. If you can treat such a difficult disease, how could you not cure my wife's minor ailment?"
Su Ying pointed at the person on the bed and laughed, "You call this a minor illness? The doctor told you to take her home, let her eat, sleep, and drink as she pleases... I don't have that ability."
The man grabbed Su Ying's hand. "I believe in you...you can do it."
Su Ying looked helpless. If even licensed doctors couldn't do anything about it, why should she?
"I……"
Before Su Ying could finish a complete sentence, the man pulled her to the woman's bedside and pressed her down onto the bed.
"Take a look at her; maybe you really can cure her."
Helpless, Su Ying could only place her hand on the wrist of the dying woman and feel for her pulse... The longer she felt for the pulse, the more Su Ying frowned.
“She has had this illness for many years… She has taken a lot of traditional Chinese medicine to regulate her body, but it still has no effect. Her health was already very poor, so why make her pregnant? If she gets pregnant, she won’t be able to keep the baby, and if she loses the baby, it will be even more harmful to her health.”
The man clenched his fists and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"It wasn't because my elders in the family were pressuring me so much... that... that's why..."
Su Ying looked at the man speechlessly, "Actually, if you want to carry on the family line, you don't have to choose her. She has a serious heart condition and is not suitable for having children."
"When you first become pregnant, there are no visible problems. As the fetus grows, the problems in the mother's body gradually become apparent."
"The abortion was done at five months... It really takes a toll on her health. I knew she wasn't healthy, and IU shouldn't have gotten her pregnant in the first place. Do you know how you treat human life so carelessly?"
The man lowered his head in shame. "I'm sorry."
Su Ying dodged his slight nod and said, "Actually, you shouldn't say 'I'm sorry' to me. You should say it to your wife."
Su Ying originally didn't intend to save the woman, but the woman on the bed was too pitiful. She was clearly unable to have children, but she got pregnant out of pity. Due to a relapse of her heart disease, she had to terminate the pregnancy.
This made her health even worse. Su Ying looked at the man with a cold smile, "Actually, you should have thought about all this when you planned to get her pregnant. You were already mentally prepared, so why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"The doctor did tell you that, given her physical condition, the baby could be delivered via C-section. However, the biggest regret is that your wife will die on the day the baby is born. You've already come this far, and you only have a few months left before you can have the child you've been longing for. Why did you suddenly give up?"
The man looked up at Su Ying with red eyes, "I suddenly realized that the child is not as important as her. If I had kept the child, she would be dead by now."
Su Ying found it both laughable and helpless. "Actually, if you were more determined and never had children, she might stay by your side for a longer time, possibly even until you grow old."
“A miscarriage is very harmful to a woman’s body. Even if I save her this time… she probably won’t live more than three years. Do you still choose to let me save her?”
The man nodded without hesitation. "Can I live for another three years?"
"That's right. But there are exceptions. As long as you take good care of yourself and keep a positive attitude, you might be able to last up to five years."
"That's great, let's take the medicine."
Su Ying sighed helplessly, "You brought me here so rashly, and I didn't bring anything with me. I don't have any tools to save her at all."
"If you need anything, just tell me and I'll get it for you right away."
Su Ying didn't stand on ceremony and told them what she needed for the treatment.
"I need to give your wife acupuncture... I need a set of silver needles and ginseng that is at least a hundred years old, for acupuncture to keep her alive."
"Okay. I'll get it done for you right away."
Watching the man's departing figure, Su Ying was momentarily stunned. How strange, who exactly is this man?
She felt a sense of familiarity with him, and just as he was about to walk out the door, Su Ying called out to him.
"Have we met somewhere before?"
The man paused, turned around and looked at Su Ying. "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about. It won't do you any good. As long as you save my wife, I will send you back safely."
