“Give me your hand. I’ll take a look at her illness first.”
The old man hurriedly gave up his seat. Guo Guo was unhappy, but under the old man’s gaze, she reluctantly reached out her hand.
Gu Man placed her fingers on her wrist. When Guo Guo saw her technique, she knew that she was a Chinese doctor. She felt even more disdainful.
“If the equipment can’t detect the illness, how can pulse-taking detect it? Besides, Chinese medicine values experience more than Western medicine. Grandpa, you’ve probably been deceived by Dr. w.a.n.g.”
“How can you say that about your Uncle w.a.n.g?”
Although the old man did not believe it at first, with Doctor w.a.n.g’s repeated guarantees and his help previously, the old man could only try his best.
They had seen so many doctors in the past, whether it was Chinese medicine or Western medicine, they had all tried it.
There was no problem with Guo Guo’s body, but she was getting weaker day by day.
Guo Guo looked down at Gu Man’s slender fingers and did not react for a long time. She thought to herself that her grandfather was really too much. How old was Gu Man? It was obvious that she was unreliable. She might be here to be a fraud.
She did not know how much her grandfather had borrowed this time, but in the end, she still had to return it.
If not for the fact that it was difficult to explain the origin of the money, she did not even want to stay in this house anymore.
She did not hide the impatience on her face at all. Gu Man retracted her hand and looked up to see her expression.
“Miss, can my granddaughter’s illness be cured?”
Seeing Gu Man retract her hand, the old man hurriedly asked, his eyes filled with nervousness and antic.i.p.ation.
“From the pulse, it’s stable. There’s no problem.”
When the old man heard this, he looked disappointed. Guo Guo looked like she had expected it and prepared to stand up from the bed.
Looking at their expressions, Gu Man chuckled. “The reason why her pulse is stable is because of the uniqueness of this illness.”
Gu Man’s words made the two of them pause at the same time. The old man’s hands trembled as he asked in disbelief, “You mean this illness can be treated?”
The girl in the old man’s words also became you. Tears of excitement flowed out of his turbid eyes. He licked his dry lips and took a deep breath.
Guo Guo was still a little stunned. When she heard the old man’s words, she subconsciously retorted, “How is that possible? So many people have seen it. If it could be treated, it would have been treated long ago. It wouldn’t have been her turn to treat it.”
Hearing Guo Guo’s stubborn words, Gu Man’s gaze landed on her clenched fists on the bed and her trembling shoulders and pupils.
There was an imperceptible antic.i.p.ation in her eyes. Perhaps it was because she had been malnourished for a long time, but she looked relatively weak and her true age could not be seen, but she was definitely not an adult.
She was more curious about who Guo Guo had provoked to not even let such a young child off.
However, when she thought of the vibration from the watch just now, with the special nature of her job, once they were discovered, it would indeed bring a lot of trouble.
Looking at the dilapidated surroundings and based on the conversation between the two of them just now, it could be inferred that the old man must have borrowed a lot of money for treatment. It was probably this girl who was dealing with the aftermath.
Thinking of the information Moon had told her, she did not know if the girl in front of her was third or fourth. She already had such outstanding results at such a young age and was a genius that could only be chanced upon by luck.
If there was a chance, she could take her in.
It was impossible for her to pay attention to the movements in the dark all the time. It would be much easier for her to have someone to keep an eye out for her.
Gu Man restrained her thoughts and smiled faintly. “Of course I can treat this illness.”
These words were like a huge rock smashing into the calm water, causing ripples. The old man’s voice trembled as he spoke excitedly.
“Miss, please. As long as you can cure Guo Guo, I’ll do anything you want. I’ll do anything.”
The old man was so excited that he was about to kneel on the ground. Guo Guo hurriedly went forward to support the old man.
Although she could not hide the excitement in her expression, Guo Guo still did not believe that Gu Man had such superb medical skills.
