Chapter 187: Saving Chen Shui
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Shui’s heart ached. Sometimes, she even thought that if there was no hope of being cured, she might as well die. That way, her father would have no weakness and could continue to be the tyc.o.o.n overlord he was.
“Daddy,” Chen Shui called gently.
She shook her head. “Dad, I’m willing to come with brother. On the one hand, I want to see if sister Xia can cure my illness. Conversely, I also want to come here with you to relax.”
I’m already 18 this year. If there’s really no way to cure me, then I only have three years left to live. In the final stages of my life, I hope to be able to stay by your side. I’m already very content.
Seeing such a sensible Chen Shui, Xia Wan was also a little moved.
She still had some memories of her younger sister, Chen Mo. In her previous life, the Chen family seemed to have found her master, Divine Doctor Luo, but he avoided them with the reason that Chen Shui’s illness was incurable. Her master’s medical skills were excellent, but his character was also strange. If he didn’t want to treat a patient, he wouldn’t do it, no matter how n.o.ble the patient’s status was.
At that time, she had interacted little with Chen Mo. She was still in the stage of learning medicine. It was only after she told her master that he said that Chen Shui’s illness was caused by a poison released by her heel and that there was no antidote for it now.
She had once asked her master why he knew so much about it. He told her that the person who had poisoned Chen Shui was her old nemesis. That person’s medical skills were average, but his poison skills were very good. The poison inflicting Chen Shui at that time was a complicated affair. If he wanted to expel the poison by force, it might cause irreparable damage to her body. She might lie in bed in a vegetative state for the rest of her life or even die.
The poison had been in Chen Shui’s body for so long that it was already a part of her. It would not be easy to isolate it on its own.
It wasn’t until the third year after Chen Shui’s death that she inadvertently inspired her master with something she was researching. It prompted him to develop a way to detoxify Chen Shui without harming her body.
Unfortunately, Chen Shui had already died by then.
Sometimes, she would wonder if Chen Mo’s cold att.i.tude towards her in her previous life had something to do with her master.
Collecting her thoughts, Xia Wan came to Chen Shui and said gently, “I’ll take your pulse first.”
Chen Shui obediently extended her arm.
Xia Wan was actually very clear about the poison in her body. However, she still pretended to take her pulse seriously in front of everyone. About ten minutes later, she put down Chen Shui’s wrist and said to the three people, “The poison in the Chen Shui is buried deep. If we want to get rid of it by force, her body won’t be able to bear it. The most suitable method is to nourish and separate it from her body. Then, we can use a strong antidote to eradicate it completely.
When Xia Wan finished speaking, Chen Shan was stunned. He was still in disbelief and stuttered, “You mean you can cure Chen Shui’s illness?”
“The success rate is 80%,” Xia Wan nodded.
In fact, her success rate was 99%, but it would be too hard to believe. After all, everyone knew how difficult it was to cure Chen Shui’s poison.
Despite coming from a village, she could think of a way with a 99% success rate. This would be a slap in the face for all the major hospitals.
Chen Shan was so excited that his hands were trembling. He said to Xia Wan,
“Miracle doctor Xia, is what you said true?”
Xia Wan nodded. Thinking about how Chen MO had been taking care of her these past few days, she said, “Uncle Chen, I’ll be honest with you. If it were someone else who came to find me, I wouldn’t easily make a move, even if I could cure him.
“1 believe that you have already found doctors from all the major hosp treat Chen Shui’s illness, mainly famous doctors. You must have visite them, but they didn’t dare to treat her. It is obvious how aggressive an difficult this poison is to deal with.
“If I rashly claim that I can cure it and that the success rate is very higl undoubtedly be a slap to the faces of these doctors. With my age and s saying such words won’t bring me much benefit. Instead, more people want to see me make a fool of myself.
“However, Chen MO has saved my life many times. You and Chen Shui so much, so I don’t want to pretend in front of you. However, I hope tk won’t tell anyone about this. We will treat her in secret. Even if you cui Shui, don’t tell anyone I cured her.
“It’s a disaster for a child to hold a mountain of gold in the palm of the
