"Doctor, I know you are a good person. We are in great trouble now. To be honest, I think you have already figured it out. This girl has the plague. Since you can cure the plague, I hope you can stay and help us."
"I'll give you the ten thousand taels right now! Please, just stay and help us!"
As Wu Xue spoke, she took out a large stack of silver notes from her pocket and handed them all to the old doctor.
The old doctor looked at the silver note in Wu Xue's hand and suddenly hesitated, but he still grabbed the silver note and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Miss Wu, you are too kind."
"In that case, I will stay here and take care of this young lady."
"But I won't stay for long. I'll leave once she's fully recovered."
When Wu Xue heard that the old doctor had actually agreed to stay, both Wu Xue and Xia Sen were extremely happy.
They hoped that this person would do everything in his power to take care of Xu Yuehuai and help her recover as soon as possible.
In the days that followed, Xu Yuehuai remained in bed, lacking strength for many days and unable to get out of bed. She could only rely on medication to sustain her life. At first, even speaking was extremely difficult, but it took a long time for her to recover.
The old doctor stayed by Xu Yuehuai's side the whole time, constantly examining her and feeding her medicine; he was incredibly busy.
"Doctor, you look kind of familiar to me."
"Have we met before?"
During this period of time, Xu Yuehuai felt that the old doctor seemed to be very familiar to her, but the old doctor never told her that the two of them had met.
"How could that be? I've never even seen you before."
"You've probably mistaken me for someone else!"
“People always think I look familiar and say they know me, but I don’t remember ever meeting them.”
The senior doctor refused her outright, indicating that they had never communicated at all.
Xu Yuehuai was indeed a little disappointed after hearing this, but she didn't say much and then went to rest.
When this old doctor was here, he always did his best to take care of Xu Yuehuai.
His thoughtfulness and consideration deeply moved Wu Xue and Xia Sen.
Finally, one month later, Xu Yuehuai's health improved and she was able to get up and move around.
At that moment, Wu Xue and Xia Sen felt very gratified, and the old doctor also showed a satisfied smile. However, there was another feeling mixed in that smile. The people around did not notice this at all. They just thought that the old doctor was happy because Xu Yuehuai's condition had improved.
"Thank you, doctor!"
"You are truly my benefactor!"
"Without your help, my sister might not be alive today."
"Thank you so much!"
Xia Sen said to the old doctor with tears of gratitude, expressing his deep appreciation for his efforts. He added that without the doctor, Xu Yuehuai would probably have died from the plague.
"You don't need to thank me. This is all what I should do. Since I've taken your money, I will naturally do my best to fulfill your instructions."
"Moreover, your sister is a very strong person. She recovered so quickly because of her own perseverance and cooperation with my treatment."
The old doctor responded with a smile, feeling relieved to see that Xu Yuehuai was now better.
After hearing the old doctor's words, Wu Xue felt even more grateful.
In fact, at the beginning, she never expected that this slovenly old doctor would have such amazing medical skills.
But after treating Xu Yuehuai for some time, he realized that he was indeed exceptionally skilled.
Wu Xue knew that this person was definitely not an ordinary doctor. How could an ordinary doctor have such superb medical skills?
Although we don't know who he is, as long as he can heal Xu Yuehuai without harming her, we can turn a blind eye to everything.
In the days that followed, the old doctor gave Xu Yuehuai some more time to recuperate.
Then, Xu Yuehuai's health improved more and more, and she recovered a lot and was able to move around freely again.
At this moment, Xu Yuehuai and Xia Sen also thought about leaving first, and then they would start looking for Qi Guze and the others.
“Xia Sen, my condition has improved a lot now, and we should stop bothering Miss Wu by staying at the Wu family’s house.” Xu Yuehuai said to Xia Sen.
Xia Sen had become quite familiar with Wu Xue during his time at the Wu family home, and now that he was leaving temporarily, he felt a little reluctant to part with her.
"Sister, are we really leaving?"
"Yes, I'm much better now, and I have to leave here."
"This area is particularly unstable. Although I'm cured of the plague now, I don't know what they might do to me then?"
"We should get out of here as soon as possible!"
Xu Yuehuai had a good talk with Xia Sen about the current situation.
"Okay, sister, it's all up to you. Let's say goodbye to Miss Wu later and leave here."
"Okay, go ahead."
Then, Xu Yuehuai stayed there quietly and didn't say anything more.
Afterwards, Xia Sen went to say goodbye to Wu Xue.
Xia Sen had someone find Wu Xue and said to her with some reluctance.
"Ms. Wu, we are about to leave now. Thank you so much for your help during this time. We will definitely repay you properly when the time comes."
"Leaving? Why not stay a little longer? Why so suddenly?"
Wu Xue was somewhat surprised after hearing Xia Sen's words.
"Yes, we actually wanted to stay a little longer, but my sister's health has improved a lot now, and we have other urgent matters to attend to, so we have to leave quickly."
Xia Sen explained to Wu Xue the reason why they were leaving.
"Alright, in that case, I won't force you to stay. Be careful on your journey from here on out."
"Okay, we understand! Thank you for taking care of me for so long, Miss Xue'er."
When Wu Xue heard that Xia Sen and the others were leaving, she felt very reluctant to let them go. Although she wanted them to stay a little longer, she knew that Xia Sen and the others had important things to do, so she did not try to persuade them to stay.
