You could hardly expect soone to care enough to pursue care of his long-ill parent.

This was an ancient Chinese saying, which made sense.

A lot of energy and patience were required to take care of a patient.

Long Tianyou didn’t say anything. He knew what exactly his father ant. In fact, he had already gotten sick of taking care of his father.

“Aye!”

Long Yunfei sighed. He had run out of his options. He felt ashad.

. . .

anwhile, the doctors were having a eting to discuss a patient in the People’s Hospital of Lianshan County.

This was not supposed to happen!

“How could this happen?” said a doctor. “He was in the last stage of cancer.”

The laboratory results the doctors had belonged to Li Maoshuang’s uncle, who had a diagnosis of late-stage cancer.

“I didn’t expect our treatnt could make such a big difference,” said another doctor.

None of these doctors could believe that the dication they prescribed could have such a wonderful effect. After all, it was not the first ti they had treated a cancer patient. The treatnt protocol and dications for all cancer patients were pretty much the sa. The priority was to prolong a patient’s life and reduce pain. Li Maoshuang’s uncle was an exception. All of the doctors thought he was going to die soon. They even suggested his family to take him ho. For a mont, it appeared that he had a montary recovery of consciousness just before his death. However, the recovery was proving to not be montary.

“Maybe we should observe him a bit longer?” suggested a doctor.

“How about changing the dication?” suggested another doctor.

“No, we don’t want anything to go wrong,” said the treating doctor.

It was so unusual for any cancer patient to get better, when they were late-stage. It was a miracle as well as glorious.

At the end of the eting, the doctors decided to keep Li Maoshuang’s uncle at hospital for ongoing observation and treatnt.

Hence, they saw Li Maoshuang’s more frequently.

“The doctors co here all the ti!” Li Maoshuang’s cousins, of course, knew why they their father had gotten better. It really had nothing to do with the doctors in the hospital.

“They co all the ti because Dad has gotten better over the past few days. They must want to know the reason,” said one of Li Maoshuang’s female cousin.

“Huh! Seal your mouth. We can’t tell them about Dr. Wang,” said Li Maoshuang’s eldest cousin.

“I see,” said the female cousin.

Ginseng, wolfberry, gorgon, solomon’s seal, ganoderma...

Wang Yao was brewing a decoction.

All the herbs in the decoction were to improve one’s immune system. Wang Yao didn’t put Shanjing and Guiyuan, which were two licorice roots. Instead, e used other herbs to replace them. The decoction would work, just not as effective as the original Regather Soup.

It took Wang Yao a long ti to brew the decoction, because he needed to make sure all the herbs were completely lted in the liquid.

As Wang Yao almost finished brewing the decoction, he took out so of the original Regather Soup and added it into the decoction. It was the finishing touch. Wang Yao hoped that the original Regather Soup would increase the effect of the decoction significantly.

The fire went out gradually.

The decoction was ready.

Wang Yao didn’t know how effective it would be. He needed to test it on a patient.

It was just the beginning. If it worked, he could apply the sa thod to other decoctions.

anwhile in Beijing, Song Ruiping asked Chen Ying to co to et her.

“Ma’am,” said Chen Ying.

“Ying, I want you to go to sowhere for ,” said Song Ruiping.

“Where would you like to go?” asked Chen Ying.

“Lianshan County. I want to you pay a visit to Dr. Wang,” said Song Ruiping.

“Pay him a visit? For what?” Chen Ying was a bit surprised, because it had always been Chen Boyuan who visited Wang Yao in Lianshan.

“To ask him when he’s available to co to Beijing, of course. Xiaoxue is recovering, but she has yet to fully recover. You can also ask him to see your brother,” said Song Ruiping.

“Okay,” said Chen Ying.

“Get yourself ready and leave as soon as possible,” said Song Ruiping.

“Okay, Ma’am,” said Chen Ying.

She went back to pack up her luggage right away. Actually, she had wanted to visit Wang Yao a long ti ago. Wang Yao often ntioned to her about his village and Nanshan Hill.

She couldn’t wait to have a look at the village and the hill.

. . .

Another day passed.

It was getting late.

Wang Yao’s mother was still walking back and forth in the room, because her brother’s wife was in the hospital. She would probably give birth to a baby at night.

“I thought they had decided she would have a C-section tomorrow,” said Wang Yao.

Nowadays a lot of pregnant won would pick a good day to have a Caesarean section for the best luck. A lot of people believed that the ti of birth would have a lifeti impact on a person.

Wang Yao’s uncle and his wife were no exception. In fact, both of them were very superstitious, especially about child birth. They paid soone to predict the best ti for their child to be born. However, one still had to expect the unexpected.

“Yao, can you go to the hospital?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

“? What can I do there?” said Wang Yao with surprise.

He didn’t know much about childbirth.

“You go and take a look at your uncle’s wife. Try to delay the child until tomorrow,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“Mom, are you serious?” said Wang Yao with a laugh.

“Well...” said Zhang Xiuying with a sigh.

“This is ridiculous. Your sister-in-law is giving birth to a baby, what can Yao do help her?” said Wang Fenghua.

“Mom, how about you give my uncle a call to ask if he needs any help with lifting the bed. If he needs help, I can go. You and Dad can stay at ho,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay, I’ll call him,” said Zhang Xiuying.

She rang her brother imdiately, and was told that no assistance was required at this stage.

“Let know if you need any help,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“Okay, I will,” said her brother.

Wang Yao left for Nanshan Hill after dinner. As he passed his clinic, he got a phone call from his mother, who told him that his uncle’s wife was about to give birth. Zhang Xiuying asked Wang Yao to go ho imdiately. So Wang Yao went back ho to pick his car and drive to the town center.

“Mom, I can go by myself. You can’t have to co,” said Wang Yao.

“I must go, what if they need to help?” Zhang Xiuying insisted.

There were not many cars on the road at night. Wang Yao drove fast. On his way to the hospital, Zhang Xiuying received a ssage that her sister-in-law’s water had broken.

The doctors must operate on her sister-in-law imdiately.

It was past 8pm by the ti they had arrived at the People’s Hospital.

Apart from Wang Yao and Zhang Xiuying, Zhang Xiuying’s youngest sister, her husband, and Wang Yao’s uncle’s brother-in-law had all arrived.

“How is she?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

“She’s been in the theater for 20 minutes. The doctors are operating on her.” Wang Yao’s uncle looked nervous. His face was pale.

It was a long wait, especially for the family mbers.

Ti passed extrely slowly.

Finally, one of the doctors ca out with a baby.

It was a baby girl.

Wang Yao’s mother took over the baby, and held her in the arm.

Wang Yao stepped forward to take a look at the baby. It was the first ti he had ever seen a baby so closely.

Hmmm...

The baby looked a bit ugly.

Well, most newborns were ugly.

However, the baby was so alive.

She was so new to the world.

After a while, Wang Yao’s uncle’s wife was propelled out of the theater. The anesthesia was still taking its effect.

Wang Yao and Zhang Xiuying helped propel the mother into a hospital room, then transferred her onto the hospital bed. Wang Yao’s uncle arranged a nice hospital room for his wife. There were two beds in the room while the other bed was empty. That way, one of the family mbers staying overnight in the hospital could rest on the other bed.

“What a cute baby girl!” said Zhang Xiuying as she was holding the baby.

Maybe because it was a girl, Wang Yao didn’t think his uncle was too excited.

“I’ll let Mom know everything’s fine so she won’t be worried,” said Zhang Xiuying’s youngest sister.

“Right, go ahead,” said Zhang Xiuying.

Due to the arrival of the baby, one of the family mbers had to stay to take care of both the baby and the mother. Zhang Xiuying’s youngest sister was not well, so Zhang Xiuying decided to stay in the hospital. Wang Yao also stayed in a hotel in Lianshan overnight. He wanted to go to his sister’s place, but it was too late.

The next morning, Zhang Xiuying looked tired after staying up for the whole night.

“Mom, you should go ho to have a good rest,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay,” said Zhang Xiuying. “By the way, can you go to your grandparents’ place to bring them to the hospital later during the day?”

“No problem,” said Wang Yao.

Wang Yao drove his mother back ho, then drove to his grandparents’ house. His grandparents’ were about to leave for the hospital. If Wang Yao had gotten there a bit later, they would probably have taken the bus to the hospital. After he had dropped his grandparents in the hospital, he went to the town center.

On his way to the hospital, he got a call from a stranger.

“What? He’s dead?” asked Wang Yao with surprise. “I see.” He hung up the phone.

“Is everything alright? Who’s dead?” Wang Yao’s grandparents overheard his conversation with whoever on the other side of the phone. The two of them were a bit worried.

“Yes, everything’s fine,” said Wang Yao with a smile.

He dropped his grandparents at the hospital and talked with them briefly before leaving.

At the mont he had sothing more pressing to deal with. One of his patients was dead.

It was the person who had a headache initially and was poisoned subsequently. He died in the People’s Hospital of Haiqu. The police had started to investigate his death. The person’s secretary, that middle-aged man, told the police everything the person had done in the last few days during an interview. The police noticed that the person had visited Wang Yao twice and taken herbs prescribed by him.

Such important information would, of course, attract the attention of the police. They quickly found Wang Yao’s number and gave him a call.

I suppose the police will co find in the village.

As expected, two policen ca to the village from Haiqu in the morning. They found Wang Yao in his clinic, and asked him about the dead person.

“Had you ever seen him before he ca to you?” asked one of the policen.

“No, I’ve only seen him twice in two days. He ca to complain about a headache in the first day. He ca back the next day because he was poisoned,” said Wang Yao.

“Poisoned? Are you sure?” The two policen imdiately beca alert.

“Yes,” said Wang Yao.

“What kind of poison?” asked one of the policen.

“I’m not sure,” said Wang Yao.

“When did you obtain your dical certificate?” asked the other policeman.

“September this year,” said Wang Yao.

He showed the two policen his dical certificate and permit of running a dical clinic. This paperwork indicated that he complied with the legal requirents of running a dical clinic. Otherwise, he would be in trouble.

“Do you know who he is?” asked one of the policen.

“No. I only know that his surna is Luo,” said Wang Yao.

“His na was Luo Jiadong,” said one of the policen.

“So was he soone special?” asked Wang Yao.

“Yes, he was,” said the policeman.
