Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Ci looked very excited. “Hey, I brought you a doctor.”
Only then did Huo Chen look at Xia Wan. When he saw that she was so young, Huo Chen had a self-deprecating look. “Dad, don’t lie to me. How can there be such a young doctor? Even veteran doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with me, let alone this young lady.”
Although Huo Chen didn’t believe that Xia Wan could cure him, he maintained his etiquette when speaking. This self-deprecating tone also stemmed from his long-term disappointment.
He longed for someone to tell him his illness and how to treat it.
However, each doctor would give him different conclusions. He had taken all kinds of medicine, but it had no effect.
No matter how hard he tried to eat, his body was still rapidly losing weight. Even if he felt very cold, he would still sweat. Even though the temperature in the room was very good, he would still often have a fever.
He really couldn’t stand this kind of tormented life where he couldn’t see the future clearly.
Xia Wan sat down and smiled. “Can you stretch out your wrist and let me check your pulse? My grandfather was a field doctor. When he was young, he worked on the battlefield. It was very chaotic, to say the lease, and there were all kinds of diseases.
“Those aren’t experiences that you can learn in the hospital, so I might have heard Grandpa mention things that the doctors have never seen before.”
Xia Wan coaxed him softly. “Huo Chen, who had originally planned on not cooperating, hesitated for a moment. In the end, he still stretched out his wrist and said stubbornly, “Even if I did, you wouldn’t be able to find anything.”
Xia Wan didn’t say anything. When she touched Huo Chen’s wrist, she checked it carefully.
She already had a rough idea in her heart. Huo Chen should be suffering from early-stage leukemia.
There was no clear conclusion on the cause of leukemia. It was generally because it could be a genetic mutation or a viral infection. The disease was also related to a low immune system.
“Miss Xia Wan, can you see anything?” Huo Ci asked nervously.
Although Huo Chen didn’t say anything, his eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Xia Wan retracted her hand and nodded. “I believe I understand. There is no relevant information and journals about this disease in the country, so it can’t be diagnosed in those hospitals.”
“He has leukemia.” Xia Wan directly told him the name of the illness.
Huo Ci was dumbfounded. “Cancer? What is this?”
“It’s a new type of illness. There might be hospitals overseas that can treat it, but not all hospitals can. If it were overseas, they would probably use chemotherapy, but Chenchen is still in the early stages, so there’s no need for her to go through that. The duration of continuous chemotherapy is lengthy, and the final treatment results will vary depending on the patient’s physique.”
Xia Wan’s words were very professional, which made Huo Ci respect her even more.
If he had respected Xia Wan before because he had heard the hospital staff praise her, then his respect for her now was because Xia Wan could clearly explain what illness Chenchen had.
Chenchen had been to so many hospitals for his illness, but no one could tell her the exact cause and the treatment method.
All they could do was prescribe supplements for Chenchen.
But Huo Ci knew that this was because those people had not found the cause of Chenchen’s illness.
But now, something different had finally appeared. Huo Ci was so excited that tears were about to fall. His son was saved!
“Then, Miss Xia Wan, do you have any treatment methods?” The equipment overseas was advanced, but he trusted Xia Wan more now.
Xia Wan nodded. “Yes, but I also need to constantly observe Chenchen’s changes. At the same time, I also need to make herbal remedies for him, so he might have to stay here for a long time.”
“No problem. I will bring my son here until my son’s illness is cured!” Huo Ci rambled in excitement.
“Uncle, you should have a lot of work to do, right?” Xia Wan asked in surprise.”
‘My son’s life is more important than anything else. Previously, it was because I was busy with business that I didn’t take good care of Chenchen, which caused him to fall ill. My only wish now is to cure him,” Huo Ci said seriously. Those words had come from the bottom of his heart.
His wife had pa.s.sed away early, and in order to subdue the grief in his heart, he had been busy with his business all these years and had left Chenchen in the care ot tne servants at nome.
When he discovered that Chenchen was sick, he realized how much he had neglected his son..
