Chapter 614: Chapter 611: Exchange with Secrets
How could Ming Yao possibly treat a child’s muteness?
After marrying Yin Zhe, Nangong Xuan had a child.
But when the child reached the age to speak, he still couldn’t utter a word.
For these past years, she had been seeking dical advice everywhere.
Finally, hearing that there was an expert at the Traditional Chinese dicine Hospital who specialized in treating muteness, she waited for over a month to get an appointnt, but still failed to secure a spot.
Driven to desperation, she forced her way in today.
Nangong Xuan looked at Ming Yao in disbelief, feeling a chill all around her, her hands and feet trembling.
Ming Yao could cure the child’s muteness, Nangong Xuan was half convinced.
Just then, a young woman ca over with her two- or three-year-old child.
“Doctor Ming, are you here today?”
Ming Yao saw the woman and the child in her arms, nodded with a smile, and touched the child’s head, “Duo Duo, how have you been feeling recently?”
“Much better, thank you, auntie.”
This child nad Duo Duo had once been seen by Nangong Xuan on television.
His condition was similar to her son’s; he had muteness, and his mother sought help on TV, wanting to find a specialist to treat her son.
Before, Duo Duo couldn’t speak a single word, but now he was even able to express his thanks.
Nangong Xuan was originally dubious about Ming Yao’s ability to treat children’s muteness, but now, she couldn’t help but believe.
Ming Yao had Duo Duo’s mother carry him into the office for a follow-up check.
When Ming Yao was finished, Nangong Xuan barged in.
The doctors at the hospital tried to stop Nangong Xuan, but she was unbearably brash. Ming Yao gestured with her hand, “Let her co in.”
Nangong Xuan stood before Ming Yao, scrutinizing her closely.
Ming Yao was already wearing her white lab coat, slender and graceful, a palm-sized oval face, bright and coldly beautiful, almost too stunning to behold.
As she was scanned by those clear, cold beautiful eyes, Nangong Xuan felt a tingling in her scalp.
After a few years, Ming Yao’s aura had grown even more powerful.
Without her previous arrogance, Nangong Xuan felt a wave of embarrassnt and sha.
There is nothing more shaful than having to beg her arch rival!
But for the sake of her son’s health, she could only lower her head.
“Ming Yao…”
Ming Yao picked up the thermos on the table, took a sip of water, and looked at Nangong Xuan with a faint expression in her eyes as she lifted her eyelids, “I’m not the Holy Mother; I don’t have to save everyone who seeks .”
Her words plunged Nangong Xuan into an abyss.
If this had been before, Nangong Xuan would have already started cursing.
After all, Ming Yao didn’t have much power now, at best she only had a bit of dirty money!
But these past few years, she had been running around with her child, seeing too many so-called famous doctors, yet her child still couldn’t speak.
Just now, she had witnessed with her own eyes that the child nad Duo Duo was able to speak, and she believed in Ming Yao’s dical skills.
She had no choice but to brazenly beg Ming Yao, even if she trampled her own dignity underfoot.
“Ming Yao, I know you don’t like , but my child is innocent. I hope you can help him,” she pleaded.
Ming Yao looked at the submissive Nangong Xuan, who was now less rowdy and unruly and who displayed a sense of grievance and complacency.
Ming Yao remained unmoved.
She knew exactly what kind of person Nangong Xuan was.
If she cured her son, Nangong Xuan could imdiately turn her back on her.
Moreover, she had not a shred of affection for the Nangong Family.
“Ming Yao, I hope you can save my son for the sake of Fourth Uncle!”
Ming Yao slamd the thermos she was holding onto the table, “What right do you have to plead using my father?”
Seeing the sharpness and fierceness in Ming Yao’s eyes, Nangong Xuan’s body shuddered violently.
“Don’t co to my hospital to cause trouble in the future, or, I will not be polite to you!” Ming Yao stood up, ready to leave.
Watching her slender and cold figure from behind, Nangong Xuan’s heart constricted.
“Ming Yao, what if I offer a secret in exchange?”
Ming Yao turned her head to look at Nangong Xuan, “What kind of secret could you possibly have to exchange with ?”
Taking a deep breath, Nangong Xuan walked up to Ming Yao, “Have you not always wanted to know the real cause of your mother’s death?”
Ming Yao’s delicate body suddenly stiffened.
Indeed, Nangong Xuan had hit the nail on the head, Ming Yao had co to the capital precisely to find out the cause of her mother’s death.
But after a long investigation, she had uncovered nothing.
Ming Yao tugged at the corner of her lips, scoffing coldly, “Do you really think I would believe what you say?”
“Ming Yao, I’m asking for your help now, do you think I would lie and deceive you?”
Ming Yao leaned against the doorfra, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly, “Fine, speak up. If I find it worthwhile, I’ll consider treating your son.”
“First cure my son…”
Ming Yao interrupted Nangong Xuan before she could finish, “Don’t try to negotiate terms with , you only get one chance.”
Gazing at the assertive and fierce Ming Yao, Nangong Xuan lowered her eyes and said, “My mother wasn’t ntally well, right? After she was sent abroad for treatnt, she improved. One ti when I visited her, she was not doing well again and rambled on about many things to .”
“My mother said that back then, Gong Yue was deeply in love with Fourth Uncle, but the Presidential Residence disapproved of their relationship. Plus, your father loved your mother, so Gong Yue hated her.”
“After your mother died, my mother once went to the Presidential Residence and saw Gong Yue with a Jianghu Magician. My mother eavesdropped on their conversation, and it seed like your mother had given birth to twins that year. One of the children was taken away by the Jianghu Magician at Gong Yue’s behest, and she even cast a curse on the two children…”
“Although my mother didn’t witness who killed your mother, Gong Yue would not even spare two small children; she must have been the one who killed your mother!”
Hearing Nangong Xuan’s words, Ming Yao’s blood ran cold.
She had been reborn into this body, which had rely bumped its forehead against the corner of the bed. By the ti she woke up, the soul inside had beco her.
Logically, a person shouldn’t have died from such a bump.
Unless—
Ming Yao suddenly thought of herself; she had suffered from insomnia since childhood. As she grew, it worsened until later, it was incurable by any dicine.
It was an abnormal phenonon that could be because soone had cursed her and her twin sister to not live past twenty-one.
If this was true, then the person intending to harm them was truly vicious!
A chill rose from the depths of Ming Yao’s heart.
Seeing Ming Yao’s ever-changing expression, Nangong Xuan pleaded, “Ming Yao, I’ve told you everything I know, please save my son, please?”
Ming Yao pressed her lips together tightly, “Bring your son over on Friday.”
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xuan imdiately overflowed with joy, “Thank you, Ming Yao.”
Ming Yao didn’t bother with Nangong Xuan any longer and gestured for her to leave.
Around six in the evening, Ming Yao walked out of the hospital.
As she approached the entrance, sothing felt off.
Many dical staff and hospitalized patients were gathered at the entrance.
Ming Yao looked ahead, only to see a tall, austere figure leaning against the front of a car.
Gu Siting had arrived.
