Chapter 280: Chapter 281 The Woman Complains Chapter 280: Chapter 281 The Woman Complains Lin Shuangqiao hesitated repeatedly, but finally, holding her child, returned to the consultation desk and asked Shao He, “Is this kind of disease common?”
Shao He looked up, glanced at the persistent person, and sighed lightly before responding, “Rare.”
“The genetic disease of the Y chromoso usually leads to the death of almost all male mbers in the family before the age of thirty, and many affected families have died out.”
Lin Shuangqiao’s complexion grew even uglier upon hearing this, and when Madam Yue saw her turn to run back inside, she hurriedly followed; just in ti to overhear Shao He’s words, she suddenly felt sowhat guilty.
She stepped forward and accused, “Don’t spout alarmist talk here. If you can’t cure it, just say so.”
Shao He sneered, “If that is so, then please find soone more capable. I apologize for my powerlessness!”
Madam Yue, angered until her face turned red and her neck thick, glared at her through clenched teeth before dragging Lin Shuangqiao out.
“We’ll find another dical hall. I refuse to believe that no one in Capital City can cure my grandson.”
But Lin Shuangqiao unexpectedly shook off her hand, looking heartbroken, and accused, “My husband died early, I gave so much to this family, why has it resulted in this?”
“Stop talking nonsense here, whatever it is we can discuss it at ho,” Madam Yue said, her face unable to maintain composure as the crowd of onlookers grew. She then tried to pull her away.
Lin Shuangqiao dodged her hand and stepped back while holding the child.
“Ever since I married into your family, you’ve made things difficult for at every turn, even causing my miscarriage when I was pregnant, which led to having no children thereafter. You’ve never shown any remorse and even deceived into raising an adopted child from elsewhere.”
“Let’s discuss this at ho,” Madam Yue was stunned, wanting to say sothing but also afraid that the truth would be known to others, so she forcefully suppressed her anger.
“Go back? Go back to where? No wonder you and my husband so dearly cared for this child. It never occurred to it was born of a concubine. You’ve really deceived deeply!”
Lin Shuangqiao, thinking of the many years of grievances she had suffered, could not stop her tears from flowing.
The child in her arms, too, was frightened into loud crying, and the situation suddenly beca chaotic.
The surrounding people all sympathized with Lin Shuangqiao, eventually consoling her, “Miss, this child is still your husband’s flesh and blood; that has to be better than if he were the progeny of strangers.”
“Yes, if he truly was adopted from outside, he might end up ungrateful, not to ntion he wouldn’t carry on your husband’s lineage. At least with this child, your husband’s bloodline remains.”
Lin Shengqiao’s grievances did not gain the upper hand in public opinion, but he didn’t get angry about it. Instead, he dramatically shifted the narrative, “Since marrying into my husband’s family, I have an endless amount of work every day, sotis even worse than the servants.”
“Even wanting to eat sothing good during pregnancy resulted in being scolded for greediness. Despite having maids in the house for laundry and cooking, I was required to do it all myself. Whenever there were guests, I couldn’t even sit but had to eat their leftovers.”
With these words, Lin Shuangqiao once again established a favorable image for herself.
Madam Yue, hearing the pointing and murmuring of the crowd around her, raised her hand to strike Lin Shuangqiao.
Lin Shuangqiao did not dodge, instead taking the slap in stride.
“Mother-in-law, I know you hate that I’ve revealed all this, but the years of grievances cannot be simply expressed in just a few words.”
“That mother-in-law’s family is indeed too much, how could they commit such heinous acts,” echoed the crowd.
“Exactly, it’s nothing short of torture!”
Achieving her goal, Lin Shuangqiao imdiately declared, “No matter what, the child is innocent. I will surely raise him into adulthood.”
Having said that, she then hastily left with the child in her arms.
Whereas Madam Yue was cornered by the crowd, receiving a round of harsh scolding, and despite her sharp tongue, it was hard to fight against the many voices criticizing her.
Shao He watched the scene unfold with cold eyes, her mind filled with one thought, ‘Deserved.’
If it were up to her, she wouldn’t have just let Madam Yue be scolded; she would have made sure she never appeared before her eyes again, finding such people repugnant.
Gathering her thoughts, she began to focus intently on her work, and not long after, Madam Yue broke away from the crowd.
Peace returned to Anji Hall. Shao He prescribed dicine to each patient.
When eting with children, she even gave them one of her homade candy pills.
After the consultation was over, Zhao Yuebei ca over curiously, “Doctor Shao, what’s this genetic disease you ntioned? Is there really no cure?”
“It’s a hereditary disease that is incurable. Even if the symptoms can be temporarily alleviated, it won’t extend his life.”
“Moreover, the child would suffer imnsely during the treatnt. Why subject him to such tornt?”
Zhao Yuebei knew she was right but couldn’t help saying, “You have always been honored as the Divine Doctor. If word got out that there is an illness you can’t cure, it could damage your reputation.”
“Reputation isn’t important, what matters is that we remain true to ourselves. It’s said that a doctor’s heart is that of a parent’s. It’s not that we can cure all diseases, but that we should do our utmost to treat the patients,” Shao He replied.
Shao He never cared for fa. She was more concerned about how many people she could treat. For those she couldn’t help, all she had was guilt.
But she always strived for a clear conscience!
