Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Caring leads to chaos_1

Wu Qiang, having received Erhu’s instruction, did not dare to delay even for a mont. As soon as he entered the city, he found the pharmacy according to the address Erhu had given. Doctor Zheng was hastily pulled onto a hired carriage by Wu Qiang, and they made their way to Zhao Family Village at a hurried pace, yet slow enough to not cause distress. Upon arrival, Doctor Zheng realized it was the ho of an acquaintance; he had been there often recently, to treat Lin Yue. So, upon seeing the familiar courtyard, a hint of surprise crossed his face. He couldn’t help thinking how this young mistress of the Zhao Family really seed to have suffered through an unusual amount of misfortune.

By that ti, the villagers who had co to watch the commotion had dispersed, leaving only a few won who were close to Lin Yue to stay behind and help automatically. It wasn’t until Zhao Erhu sent the village head and their Third Uncle out the door, that he caught sight of Doctor Zheng’s arrival and hurriedly led him inside.

Doctor Zheng, who had already been briefed by Wu Qiang about the detailed situation on the carriage ride over, did not ask any further questions. He imdiately set down his dical box and began to carefully examine Lin Yue’s wound. After taking her pulse, he frowned and turned to both Erhu and Lin Yue with a scolding look.

“I say young mistress, you’ve really been quite careless. You just recovered a bit from your recent illness, and now you’ve bumped your head. Even the healthiest of bodies can’t withstand such tornt, let alone yours, which is already frail. If this were to happen a couple more tis, would you still even want this little life of yours?” A doctor’s heart is like that of a parent, and Doctor Zheng, being a good physician, could not help but admonish them for not taking better care of themselves, his concern evident in his words.

Hearing Doctor Zheng speak like this, Erhu felt even more resentnt toward his elder cousin. Filled with worry, he looked at Doctor Zheng, “Doctor Zheng, what you’ve taught is right. But who could have predicted such an accident? It’s my fault for not taking good care of my wife. How is she now? She lost so much blood, and it’s a head injury. Is it serious? The last ti she had a fever, it damaged her brain and she forgot a lot about the past. There won’t be any complications this ti, will there?”

“Whether it’s serious? A person only has so much blood, and once it runs out, that’s it. Don’t they have to drain the blood first when slaughtering a pig?” Doctor Zheng saw that the wound on Lin Yue’s head had already been treated, and the bleeding had stopped, so he was not particularly worried. Listening to Erhu’s series of anxious questions, he replied irritably, but this only served to frighten Erhu more.

“What! That can’t be good. Doctor Zheng, you are highly skilled; you must save my wife. Please, don’t let anything happen to her. If sothing were to happen to my wife, I, I…” Although Erhu was very fond of Lin Yue, they had only been together for a short ti and hadn’t reached a point of life-and-death commitnt. However, the re thought of sothing happening to Lin Yue made his heart ache as if sothing vital was missing, and he didn’t know how to express it.

Lin Yue, who was well aware of her own physical condition, knew it wasn’t as severe as what Doctor Zheng had described. She figured the doctor was probably considered out of concern. But his joke was a bit too cold for her liking; comparing her to a pig, of all things, really wasn’t appropriate. Humans and pigs are hardly comparable, right?

Seeing Erhu’s concern turn to confusion, and realizing he hadn’t caught on, Lin Yue spoke to comfort him, “Brother Erhu, don’t worry. Doctor Zheng was just making a taphor. I know my body; it’s not that serious.”

Seeing Erhu in such a panic, Doctor Zheng stopped joking around and spoke earnestly, “While it’s not as serious, it shouldn’t be taken lightly. I just examined the young mistress, and the wound on her forehead is superficial, looking more frightening than it is since it hasn’t hard anything deeper. The dizziness and nausea she’s experiencing are caused by the excessive blood loss, but there’s no grave danger. However, the young mistress just recovered from a serious illness not long ago and hasn’t fully recuperated. Now she’s lost quite a bit of blood, which has certainly weakened her vitality. She needs to be well-nourished and must take care, nothing should be taken for granted. I’ll prescribe so formulas to replenish her energy and restore blood. Make sure to cook her nutritious als to help her regain her strength.”
