Chapter 1441 They're Coming for Me
Doctor Xie was particularly curious about A Ning's master. She had met Doctor Zhao a few times, but he only referred to himself as a traveling doctor and did not seem to want to go into details.
Even if Dr. Zhao hadn't said anything, Dr. Xie knew that this was a highly skilled, reclusive master of medicine.
The illness of the eldest son of the Tan family was known to all the doctors in Dong'an Prefecture. The Tan family patriarch and madam sought medical treatment everywhere and had seen all the doctors in the prefecture. Doctor Xie had naturally been seen as well.
She couldn't see anything wrong with it, but she felt that Young Master Tan's illness was not ordinary.
But recently she heard that Young Master Tan was slightly better. She didn't know that Young Master Tan had been poisoned. The Tan family was still keeping this a secret, after all, the culprit had not yet been caught.
However, it was Dr. Zhao who treated Young Master Tan's illness, which shows that his medical skills were superior to those of the doctors in Dong'an Prefecture.
When Dr. Zhao visited Renxin Medical Clinic, Dr. Xie had asked him a few questions about medical techniques. He was very kind, and after listening to his advice, she felt enlightened.
No wonder she was rejected when she wanted to take A Ning as her apprentice. Now that I think about it, she really wasn't qualified.
Now, she and A Ning have a mutual appreciation for each other, even though they are about twenty years apart in age.
Today was a rare day off for her. She originally wanted to take Ah Ning to visit her home, but unexpectedly, they encountered someone robbing them.
Doctor Xie felt very guilty. She said to Xia Yan and the others, "What happened today was my fault. I frightened A Ning. Those people came for me. I dragged her into this."
Xia Yan had already picked up A Ning, and the group quickly walked out of the alley.
Ah Ning obediently hugged Xia Yan's neck, turned her head and said, "Sister Xie, don't blame yourself. I wasn't scared, don't worry."
Meng Han thought she was so well-behaved and reached out to hold her little hand.
A Ning looked at her suspiciously, while Meng Han chuckled at her.
A Ning laughed too. Xia Yan didn't see their little exchange, but frowned and asked Doctor Xie, "Were those people coming for you?"
He thought they were after Doctor Zhao and A Ning. Xia Yan also knew some details about Young Master Tan's poisoning and was afraid that the person who poisoned him would harm A Ning.
Doctor Xie nodded. "Yes, those men are thugs from the gambling den." She said somewhat embarrassedly, "My father is a gambler and owes the gambling den money that he can't pay back. So these men came to me, wanting me to pay it for him."
But how could she possibly repay him? That man abandoned her, her mother, and her brother when she was a child, and they hadn't been in contact for years; they had severed all ties. Now he suddenly comes back, expecting her to clean up his mess? Impossible.
Meng Han finally stopped looking at A Ning and asked, "I heard that the thugs at the gambling den are very ruthless. They didn't achieve their goal this time, but they'll come after you again next time."
Doctor Xie laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a doctor for nothing. Over the years, I've built up some connections in the city and know quite a few people. I can definitely find someone to help the gambling den get the debtors to pay back the money. Actually, they were just trying to scare me and get me to hand over my money. They wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
As a highly skilled female doctor in the prefectural city, Doctor Xie was extremely sought after among the ladies of the powerful and wealthy.
For some gynecological conditions that are not easily seen by male doctors, they prefer to see Dr. Xie.
Dr. Xie has accumulated a considerable amount of goodwill over the years, so this matter should be easy to resolve.
