"Master Li, I need to feel your pulse. Please show me your wrist."

Ye Qingtao didn't say a word and went straight into work mode.

Commander Li raised his eyebrows and cooperated by taking his hand out.

Ye Qingtao grabbed his wrist and naturally put her fingers on it.

Ye Qingtao closed her eyes slightly to calm herself down.

Soon her face turned gloomy. Commander Li's pulse was weak and beating very slowly.

After a few minutes, Ye Qingtao let go of his hand.

Mayor Li withdrew his hand and asked calmly.

"How about it?"

Although he tried hard to appear very calm, Ye Qingtao could still tell his nervousness from the tremor in his voice.

Ye Qingtao shook her head before speaking.

"Commander Li was injured many times in his early years, and his body is very fragile due to overwork."

"Plus, I often stayed up late over the years and overdrew my physical strength, which caused my physical condition to become extremely poor."

"You are weak because of a deficiency disease. In fact, there are no obvious changes in your body, and it is very difficult to treat."

"Surface symptoms can be removed and treated directly, but accumulated diseases like yours are very difficult to treat because they damage the root."

Ye Qingtao did not exaggerate but spoke truthfully.

Teacher Li has seen a doctor many times due to health reasons, and the results obtained each time were roughly the same.

Doctor Ye was right. Other doctors also said that he was ill due to overwork, and that his illness was compounded by the many injuries he had sustained while on previous missions. His condition was delayed again and again, and he ended up in his current state.

He also asked someone to help him regulate his body, but the results were not very good.

The doctor in front of me looks so young. Even if he has miraculous medical skills, he should be helpless, right?

But from what she said, his illness is just difficult to treat, not incurable?

His eyes, which had just dimmed, instantly brightened up again.

"Doctor Ye means that my disease can be cured?"

“It can be cured, but it will take a long time.”

"The most important thing is that acupuncture needs to be done twice a day, and medication should be used in combination. If acupoint massage can be used as an aid, the effect will be more obvious."

Ye Qingtao said this with finality, but she didn't expect that this sentence would bring her so much trouble.

"How long is it expected to take?"

Commander Li was somewhat tempted. After all, according to the previous diagnosis, he was already dying.

If his disease can really be cured, it will be a great joy for him.

As for how long it would take, that was not something he should consider.

"It can be as short as half a year or as long as three years."

Ye Qingtao thought about it and then said a number.

Teacher Li was surprised. This treatment period was too long.

This means that during this period, he has to stay by Dr. Ye's side every step of the way.

Or is it that Dr. Ye follows him closely?

He holds a very high position and has never applied for retirement.

If I have to waste three years on medical treatment, I might really have to consider retirement.

"Does it have to take so long? Can't it be a little shorter?"

Commander Li said hesitantly, and Ye Qingtao shook his head.

"Your condition is very complicated. Most people might not dare to take over."

"I have read relevant medical books before, so I am willing to try to treat you."

"If Master Li feels that this is taking too long, or doesn't trust my medical skills, you can just pretend that I didn't say anything today."

Ye Qingtao also felt that the treatment cycle was too long and had a great impact on them.

Commander Li pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.

"Can you stay with me and heal?"

Ye Qingtao had long guessed that he would say this. After all, having someone who could treat his illness and stay by his side without interfering with his work would definitely give him a great sense of security.

But in this way, Ye Qingtao would be imprisoned here and completely lose his freedom.

She still had a lot of things to do, so naturally she would not agree to his request.

Ye Qingtao shook his head and said sincerely.

"I am now an honorary military doctor of the army and the director of the military hospital. My life has just begun and I still have many important things to do."

"Captain Li's health is important, but I can't abandon everyone because of you. I don't know how many people were seriously injured in the last gunfight."

"On that day alone, I treated more than 20 critically ill patients. If I hadn't personally helped them, they would have died long ago, or even if they were cured, they would have been disabled."

"Now, after more than a month of rest, most of them have gradually recovered, and some can even exercise normally as before."

"Captain Li has a high rank and has made contributions to society and the people. It is only natural that I should treat you, but the lives of the soldiers are also lives. I can't give up everyone for you alone."

Ye Qingtao expressed her attitude firmly. She did not refuse directly, but explained the reasons clearly.

Ye Qingtao had good reasons and was not worried about Commander Li's rebuttal.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, Commander Li fell into deep thought.

With his current position, it would be easy for him to keep someone.

But the effect of treating someone willingly and treating someone under duress is completely different.

If he really chose Ye Qingtao to be his doctor, it would be equivalent to putting his life in her hands.

If you force someone who can control your life in the future to treat you, it can only be said that he has lived too long.

Moreover, Doctor Ye was very skillful in his words. He only said that his disease had hope of being cured, but he did not say that it would definitely be cured.

If the disease cannot be cured, he will be the one in trouble.

He can be tough in other areas, but he has to compromise in this matter.

"You stay for a week and help me with the treatment. I will make a decision based on the results of the treatment."

"Okay, but we agreed to only stay for a week. I still have a lot of things to deal with when I get back."

"My career has just started, and I don't want it to be ruined because of one person."

Ye Qingtao made her position clear and also told Commander Li her determination.

Commander Li felt a little surprised. The girl in front of him clearly knew his identity and spoke without any hesitation.

She said whatever she wanted to say, and it didn't change because of his identity.

He has been in this position for many years, but he has never seen a girl with such a genuine nature.

If it were any other doctor, if he had the chance to treat him and come in front of him, he would have flattered him to no end.

However, such deliberate flattery made him feel uncomfortable all over.

This girl is actually quite good like this, and it's very comfortable to get along with her.
