It was evident that Lin Yuanshan had no trust in Chen Nan's dical skill.
Over the years, he had taken his daughter to visit famous doctors across the country, even going as far as top hospitals abroad, but Lin Xue's condition had never improved.
If those distinguished experts were helpless, what could this young man, rely a freshman, possibly do?
If he truly had the ability, why would he need to study at a university?
Yet Chen Nan remained calm and composed, facing Lin Yuanshan's skeptical gaze without any sense of inferiority or arrogance, "Mr. Lin, dical skill is not solely dependent on one's seniority."
"Although I am just a freshman, I've devoted the past two years to the study of ancient Traditional Chinese dicine texts and have my unique insights into various complex dical conditions."
"Although Professor Su's dical skill is exquisite, he does not necessarily understand the solution to all diseases."
Lin Yuanshan's brows were tightly knitted, his eyes still full of doubt.
However, the caution developed from many years of battling in the business world prevented him from imdiately dismissing the guest.
Moreover, he could sense that this young man was starkly different from any other doctor he had encountered before.
Despite his young age, he possessed a maturity beyond his peers; his profound eyes shone like stars, and his entire being radiated a strange confidence that involuntarily bred a sliver of anticipation.
Just then.
A light and graceful series of footsteps ca from the staircase, as if petals were gently falling.
A young woman dressed in a plain-colored dress was descending slowly, it was Lin Xue.
Her face was like ticulously carved jade, her fair skin glowing with a cold lustre, as if covered by a thin frost.
Her eyes, deep like a cold pool, were clear yet conveyed an aloofness that kept people at arm's length; her long eyebrows were slightly raised, adding to her chill elegance.
Her nose was straight and delicate, lips unrouged but red, yet often pursed, revealing a faint aloofness.
Her figure was perfect, with a waist as delicate as a willow branch, exuding grace in just a grasp.
Her long legs were straight and slender, faintly visible beneath the hem of her plain dress, each step taken with elegance and stability as if to a rhythm all her own.
Her long, black, and lustrous hair fell over her shoulders like a waterfall, swaying gently with her movents, accentuating her graceful figure.
She exuded an innate cold aura, like a snow lotus blooming atop a snowy mountain peak, beautiful yet unreachable.
She stood there quietly, as if drawing an invisible boundary between herself and the world, her presence too overwhelming for anyone to casually approach, leaving them to only admire her peerless elegance from a distance.
Lin Xue's voice, soft yet indifferent, rose, "Father, a visitor deserves our hospitality, let this young man look at my condition."
Lin Yuanshan gave a nonchalant "hm," his gaze still scrutinizing.
However, it was at this mont that Chen Nan spoke up, his voice calm and resolute, "If I am not mistaken, Miss Lin is not sick."
As soon as these words were uttered, both Lin Yuanshan and Lin Xue turned to look at Chen Nan, their eyes filled with incredulity.
Nobody expected that Chen Nan would offer such a statent before even starting to take her pulse.
Lin Yuanshan snapped back to reality, letting out a heavy snort, his tone tinged with suppressed anger, "In my view, the one who is sick is definitely you!"
"Not only are you sick, but you must be gravely ill beyond redy!"
He knew his daughter's condition better than anyone else, and Chen Nan's words undoubtedly infuriated him.
Lin Xue's beautiful eyes also revealed a trace of disgust.
She had intended to give Chen Nan a chance, but she could have never imagined that he would speak such preposterous words.
Yet Chen Nan remained composed, his gaze as calm as still water. He slowly said, "Miss Lin is indeed not sick, but she is afflicted with Cold Poison. When the poison flares, her body becos ice-cold, thus creating the illusion of an illness."
Lin Yuanshan's pupils instantly contracted violently, his gaze fixated on Chen Nan, as the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.
His lips trembled slightly as if he wanted to say sothing, but he was left speechless by this sudden pronouncent.
For years, he had taken his daughter to seek dical advice far and wide, and every doctor had diagnosed her with illnesses, yet no one had ever ntioned the words "Cold Poison."
The truth that none of those fad doctors could discern was effortlessly exposed by this excessively young man before him, how could he not be shocked?
In Lin Xue's eyes, the original look of disgust rapidly transford into one of astonishnt.
She involuntarily took a small step forward, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The bone-chilling cold that ca with the bouts of Cold Poison was all too familiar to her — countless nights, she struggled to fall asleep in the midst of its icy tornt.
At this mont, Chen Nan's words struck like lightning, instantly cleaving through the fog that had enshrouded her heart for many years.
She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to calm herself down, but her slightly trembling hands revealed the turmoil within.
"Young Master Chen, is my daughter truly afflicted with Cold Poison?" Lin Yuanshan's voice trembled significantly, his breathing becoming sowhat hurried.
Chen Nan nodded slightly, his gaze firm and confident: "Mr. Lin, Miss Lin, my words are nothing but the truth."
"If I am not mistaken, during her mother's pregnancy, she must have fallen into an ice hole, and it was at that ti that Miss Lin ca into contact with the seed of Cold Poison!"
Boom!
These simple words sent a shiver down Lin Yuanshan's spine, creating a chilling illusion, and he stared at Chen Nan in horror: "How... how did you co to know about this?"
"Dad, did my mother really fall into an ice cellar?" Lin Xue's beautiful eyes were filled with deep shock; she had no idea about this incident.
Her mother had left the world due to severe blood loss at her birth, and she had never seen her biological mother!
Lin Yuanshan struggled to calm his emotions and recounted, "Your mother was from the Northeast. While she was pregnant, she craved a Northeastern stew cooked in an iron pot, so I took her back to the Northeast."
"It was my first ti visiting the Northeast, I tasted a lot of their delicacies, and even found out what Northeastern iron railings tasted like."
"She also said that one could drive on the ice in the Northeast, so I drove her onto the lake."
"But an accident occurred as we entered the lake."
"The ice broke, and we both fell into the ice hole along with the car." He spoke with a trace of residual fear on his face: "Luckily, there were many people around at the ti, and they managed to pull both
and your mother out."
"Afterwards, I imdiately took your mother to the hospital, and after examination, there seed to be no serious harm, and I was relieved."
"Who would have thought that it would plant the seeds of Cold Poison within you!" He sighed helplessly, with an air of regret for his past decisions.
Lin Xue's face was filled with shock as she swallowed, never having thought that her affliction with Cold Poison could be related to her mother's accidental fall into an ice hole.
Coming back to her senses, she looked at Chen Nan anxiously: "Mr. Chen, since you've recognized that I'm afflicted with Cold Poison, do you have a way to treat it?"
