Su Xiaoxue really wanted to hear this voice again because not only was the voice very kind, it also brought her warmth and hope, just like a bright light in endless darkness.

She wanted to take a look at Dr. Wang desperately, but she could not move her neck and could only move her eyes. Although she could see, she could not see clearly. What she saw was just a blurry figure.

Oh?

Wang Yao felt that the patient lying on the bed was looking at him. The eyes were like covered with a layer of mist, but they were very calm and soft.

Don’t worry.

Thank you.

It was a verbal and silent conversation.

“Did she receive any special treatment lately?”

“Chen Lao comes over to give her an injection every other day. Otherwise, she has not received any other treatments,” Song Ruiping said as she let out a sigh of relief.

“This is a good sign. Your illness is slowly recovering,” Wang Yao said with a smile to Su Xiaoxue who was lying on the bed.

Thank you. I can feel it too. I hope you can hear my heartfelt wishes.

After finishing the diagnosis for Su Xiaoxue, the sky had already darkened.

“It’s almost time, why don’t you stay and have a meal, Dr. Wang?” Song Ruiping offered.

“It’s okay, I have food already prepared, and I still have some personal matters to tend to.”

Eating with the rich had many rules. The atmosphere was bad and uncomfortable. Wang Yao instinctively resented and rejected it.

“Alright. Just tell us if you need anything.”

“Sure.”

Dr. Wang stepped out of the Su family’s house, walking back together with Chen Ying.

“Sir, why didn’t you stay and have a meal with them?” Chen Ying asked.

An invitation from the Su family was a rare opportunity and an honor which many people could not ask for. However, the invitation was rejected by the young doctor so easily.

“I don’t like that sort of atmosphere. It’s too restrictive and uneasy,” Wang Yao laughed while he revealed the reason.

After hearing the reason, Chen Ying paused her footsteps, a blank expression on her face.

“Just because of this reason?”

“Why, isn’t that enough?”

“It’s quite enough,” Chen Ying said while smiling. “Dr. Wang is indeed an interesting man.”

“Haha.” Wang Yao gave out a laugh.

After walking for a short while, they returned to the small courtyard.

“I’ll get dinner ready for you immediately.”

“No rush. Take your time.”

It is so rare to have a talented person who has good manners, knows Kung Fu and can cook well!

Wang Yao thought silently, looking at Chen Ying’s back.

Chen Ying’s efficiency was very high. With half an hour’s effort, she prepared a special dinner with some exquisite Huaiyang dishes and soup.

“Time is limited, so it’s a simple dinner,” Chen Ying said while chuckling.

“Being overly modest is not a good thing,” Wang Yao said. Such cooking skills should be sufficient to compete with some chefs. “There are so many dishes, why don’t we eat together?”

“It’s okay, thank you.”

Just like the situation last time, Wang Yao ate all the food alone. Chen Ying upheld the respect and kept the distance that she should.

Deep inside her heart, she really wanted to communicate and make contact with this extraordinary peer. However, her identity and the side she represented, as well as the orders given above, did not allow her to do so.

This was the rule. In fact, she admired Wang Yao. In certain situations, she could ignore this kind of rule.

This was the special “right” brought by extraordinary ability.

After dinner, Chen Ying cleaned up the dishes quickly.

“Are you still going out tonight, Sir?”

“No, I’m not.”

“I’ll leave first then. Please call me if there’s anything.”

“Alright.”

Wang Yao sat in the courtyard for a while. The sky in the city was still gray, making people feel uncomfortable. It was far worse than the night sky on Nanshan hill.

The night of the capital was bustling and colorful.

This neighborhood had a rare silence and peace, keeping the hustle and bustle beyond a certain distance.

…

At the Su family’s house, Song Ruiping was chatting with her husband.

“Has Dr. Wang arrived?”

“He arrived this afternoon. He already came to see Xiaoxue.”

“How was it?”

“He said that Xiaoxue’s condition is improving, which is a good sign.”

“Didn’t Chen Lao say the same thing the last time he came? Didn’t you make Dr. Wang stay to have a meal?”

“I invited him to stay, but he rejected, saying he had some personal matters. I guess he didn’t want to?” Song Ruiping said.

“Sigh. Do you think it’s possible to make him stay in the city?”

“What do you think? If it’s possible, the Guo Family would’ve done so,” the middle-aged man said while sipping his water.

“I think we can try. If he isn’t able to heal Xiaoxue’s illness completely this time and leaves and comes again another time, what are we going to do? Do we just keep waiting?” Song Ruiping said. This had always been the problem that she was worried about.

The middle-aged man did not say anything after listening.

This issue did need to be considered.

“I’ll talk to him about it tomorrow.”

“That will do.”

…

The next day, the weather was sunny. The temperature was slightly high, after all, summer had started for quite some time.

Wang Yao woke up in the morning and practiced as usual. After that, he went to the Su family’s house.

Coincidentally, the skinny Chen Lao was there too.

“Hello, young friend,” this old man greeted while smiling after seeing Wang Yao.

“Hello, Chen Lao.”

That day, not only was Song Ruiping home, her husband was home too. The middle-aged man, who had a slightly plump figure and a kind face, was very classy and easygoing. However, his gestures would inadvertently show some charisma. This was a special characteristic for people who had been in high positions for a long time.

“I brought some special herbs this time to let Miss Su try.”

“Okay,” Song Ruiping responded quickly.

Wang Yao took out the Muscle Revitalization powder which was prepared earlier. It was the one diluted with water among the two bottles.

“Remove her gauze. This medicine is used externally.”

The gauze on her right hand was removed layer by layer. Her festered skin inside which was turning black and purple was shown. It was as if her skin was being flame-grilled, eroded by sulfuric acid and, it let out a bad smell.

This was just her hand. The other parts of her body were also in similar conditions. What kind of pain did she have to endure?

It was like being above a flame and being immersed in boiling water.

Only the patient knew how the pain was like. It was never-ending suffering and torture that made dying better than living.

Wang Yao opened the porcelain bottle. Suddenly, a strange fragrance drifted out, instantly covering the stench of the festered skin.

The people in the room looked at Wang Yao. More accurately, they were looking at the unremarkable white porcelain bottle in his hands. A pill was poured out from a similar porcelain bottle last time, saving the dying Su Xiaoxue. What would be poured out from it this time?

“Such a unique fragrance. What medicine are you using?” Chen Lao stared at the porcelain bottle almost without blinking.

Wang Yao poured out an aquamarine-colored viscous liquid. He dripped the liquid directly onto the patient’s palm. Under this kind of situation, it was impossible to evenly apply the liquid onto the skin. Once applied, it would inevitably come into contact with the festered skin, which would only increase the patient’s suffering.

After pouring it onto the festered palm, the medicine penetrated quickly into the muscle tissue. Other than that, there was nothing special to be seen.

They were unable to see, but Su Xiaoxue felt it. Her whole body felt like it was being roasted on fire. Only her left palm felt cool as if it were immersed in cool and refreshing water, not to mention how comfortable it was.

Wang Yao did not know the effects of the medicine, hence he only poured a little bit of medicine onto her palm. He then put the porcelain bottle away, sat beside the bed to observe for a short while and checked her pulse. By looking at the pulse pattern, the medicine seemed to be effective, but its effects were limited.

Dripping a few drops of water onto a fire would not have much of an effect.

“Wrap the hand first for now,” Wang Yao said after a few moments.

“I still have some medicine here. Tell people to get the herbs according to the formula and let her consume it.” Wang Yao took out a formula list with a few common herbs written on it. Their functions were to consolidate the corporeity. Although they were not as effective as the Regather soup, they were not bad either.

“I’ll arrange someone to do it immediately,” Song Ruiping said as she took the formula.

“I’ll go back now then,” Wang Yao said as he got up.

“Dr. Wang, please wait for a moment,” Su Xiaoxue’s father stopped Wang Yao.

This middle-aged man’s name was Su Xianghua, and he was in a high position.

“Can we talk alone?”

“Sure.”

Both of them went to a study room. Someone served two cups of tea, then they left and closed the room’s door.

“As a father, I want to thank you for helping my daughter,” Su Xianghua said, his voice full of sincerity.

“You’re welcome,” Wang Yao replied while smiling.

“Her illness has always been my deepest worry, towards the entire family as well. We have invited many famous doctors, but the effects were limited. Dr. Wang’s arrival gave us hope.”

“You’re flattering me.”

“What do you think of the city?”

“It’s fine. It’s very prosperous,” Wang Yao replied.

“Do you have any thoughts on coming to the city for development?”

“No,” Wang Yao responded without a second a thought. He already vaguely guessed Su Xianghua’s intention of talking to him alone.

“Dr. Wang, in my own name, I’d like to invite you to come to the city for further development on your profession. I can help you solve any problems,” Su Xianghua offered.

Wang Yao did not know his status. In fact, the weight of his statement was huge.

“That’s very kind of you. I still prefer the tranquility of a small town. I’m not used to staying here.”

“That’s okay. If you change your mind, feel free to contact me anytime.”

“Alright.”

After the cup of tea was finished, their conversation was considered to be over as well.

Chen Lao looked at the formula given by Wang Yao in the living room.

“Hey, how did he think of matching the herbs like this?!”

“What is it, Chen Lao? Does the medicine have any problem?” Song Rui Ping said.

“No problems; it’s very good.” The old Doctor Chen replied while smiling.

“I’ll then arrange someone to get the herbs according to the formula.”

“Of course you can. Dr. Wang’s medical skills are very brilliant and remarkable!”

Wang Yao made a move to leave after coming out of Su Xianghua’s study room. The couple walked him to the door.

“How did it go?” Song Ruiping asked as she looked at Wang Yao’s distant figure.

“He does not have any thoughts on coming to the city,” Su Xianghua replied.

“Then, did you not…”

“We’ll discuss this matter in the future, don’t think about it for now,” Su Xianghua interrupted his wife’s words. Through the conversation just now, he saw some very rare things in this young man.

The attitude of being neither humble nor pert, having a calm demeanor towards power and the indifference towards rights and money.

It was very rare!
