534: Chapter 535 Temptation
Three people left the house and got directly into a taxi, and after more than twenty minutes, they arrived at Zhong Chuling’s ho.
Zhong Chuling’s ho was located in an old-style neighborhood without even property managent, and the building was sowhat dilapidated with dark hallways.
Her ho was just a two-bedroom apartnt of just over sixty square ters, with the scent of dicine wafting through the air, but the entire place appeared very neat and tidy—a sick person, coupled with a young girl, this surely was all Zhong Chuling’s doing.
“Big Brother Song, my dad is in here,” Zhong Chuling led Song Xiaodong into a sunlit bedroom.
A man lay on the bed, his features gaunt and his breath feeble, as if he might pass away at any mont.
Just from the looks of him, Song Xiaodong could tell that the man was indeed hanging on by a thread.
Sitting beside the bed, Song Xiaodong placed his fingers on the man’s pulse and after a long while, he finally let go.
Zhong Chuling imdiately asked anxiously, “Is there…
is there still hope?”
Song Xiaodong frowned and said, “This is really troubling; the cancer cells have probably spread throughout the entire body.”
“So…
so there’s no hope?” Zhong Chuling’s eyes imdiately reddened.
She had known this outco all along but couldn’t bring herself to give up, always harboring a sliver of hope for a miracle.
“That’s not to say there’s no hope, just that it’s quite troubleso,” Song Xiaodong muttered.
“There’s hope!” Zhong Chuling exclaid in surprise, then imdiately knelt down with a plop, grasping Song Xiaodong’s legs and pleading with teary eyes, “Please, Big Brother Song, save my dad.
Whatever you ask, I will agree, I truly will.”
Lin Shu was staring at Song Xiaodong, saying, “You can treat cancer, too?”
Song Xiaodong nodded, “Of course, I can, but as I said, it’s quite troubleso.
I usually prefer not to treat it.”
Lin Shu’s mouth twitched a little as she said, “You had better not be bluffing.
Xiao Ling is pitiful enough as it is.
If you deceive her, I will never let you off the hook.”
“Hmm?” Song Xiaodong looked at Lin Shu, frowning.
At that mont, Zhong Chuling said anxiously, “Big Brother Song, I believe, I really believe!
Don’t listen to Xiao Shu talking like that.”
Song Xiaodong nodded, “Then get up.
I need to think about how to treat him.”
Lin Shu didn’t dare say any more this ti, even if she had her doubts, because it seed to be the only hope for Zhong Chuling’s father.
If she angered Song Xiaodong and he refused to treat him, the responsibility would be on her.
Zhong Chuling quickly stood up, her fists clenched, not even daring to breathe too heavily for fear of disturbing Song Xiaodong.
After thinking for a mont, Song Xiaodong said, “All right, I agree to treat your father.
But obviously, he can’t be cured instantly.
I’ll start by saving his life.”
Zhong Chuling was overjoyed at his words and nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes!”
“Then you should all go out,” Song Xiaodong waved his hand.
Lin Shu imdiately said in surprise, “We all go out?
How will you treat him then?”
With a lift of his hand, Song Xiaodong seed to magically produce two silver needles and said, “You’ve seen these before, haven’t you?”
“Acupuncture!” Lin Shu imdiately said in confusion, “Can acupuncture be that effective?”
“It depends on who’s using it.
Also, go boil so more hot water, as the patient might need to expel waste later.”
“Alright, I’ll get ready right away.” Zhong Chuling hurried out.
“You go out too.”
Lin Shu hesitated for a mont but still left the room, after all, there wasn’t much she could do here, and with Zhong Chuling’s father in that condition, she wasn’t afraid that Song Xiaodong would do anything to him.
Song Xiaodong, who could even revive soone, was certainly capable of treating cancer, but treating cancer indeed was a very tedious affair, with enormous exhaustion involved.
Song Xiaodong only did so when chance allowed, saving whoever he happened to encounter; he simply didn’t have the energy to specialize in treating this kind of illness in a hospital.
And this patient was now hanging by a thread, making the treatnt all the more difficult.
Having figured out a thod, Song Xiaodong began to administer acupuncture.
The process took almost an hour.
By the ti he was done, he was on the brink of collapse.
“Co in,” Song Xiaodong mustered his strength and opened the door.
Zhong Chuling rushed in, and Lin Shu followed, just as she was about to enter, Song Xiaodong’s body swayed and leaned against her.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Lin Shu’s eyes widened suddenly.
“I really have no strength left.
Help
find a place to rest for a while,” Song Xiaodong said weakly, and then closed his eyes.
Lin Shu looked sideways at Song Xiaodong and noticed that he was sweating profusely, his clothes already soaked through.
Moreover, his face was pale as death, the very image of utter exhaustion.
This probably wasn’t an act to take advantage of her.
The corner of her mouth twitched, and Lin Shu still propped up Song Xiaodong’s arm, intending to help him into Zhong Chuling’s room.
But after moving him a few steps, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Why are you so heavy?”
Zhong Chuling, seeing no reaction from her father on the bed, didn’t know what to make of it, but hearing Lin Shu’s shout, she quickly ran out.
“Xiao Ling, hurry and help .
This guy is dead heavy; I can’t move him by myself.”
“What happened to Big Brother Song?” Zhong Chuling quickly ca over to lift Song Xiaodong’s other arm.
“He must be exhausted.” Although Lin Shu didn’t care to study dicine, she had learned a lot just by being exposed to it at ho.
“Ah, Big Brother Song really worked hard.” They hurriedly worked together to help Song Xiaodong to the bed in her room.
Song Xiaodong lay on the bed, barely opened his eyes, and said, “Go look after the patient; he should start excreting soon.
I’ll be fine after a nap.”
“Wow, it stinks, seems like it’s really happening,” Lin Shu imdiately covered her nose and exclaid.
Zhong Chuling quickly said, “I’ll hurry and take care of it.
Xiao Shu, you take care of Big Brother Song.” Then she excitedly ran out, closing the door behind her.
Her father’s physical functions had seriously declined, and it had been many days since he had last excreted.
The sudden bowel movent today was naturally a sign that Song Xiaodong’s treatnt had an effect, and she couldn’t help feeling elated.
At this mont, Lin Shu looked at Song Xiaodong, her mouth twitching slightly, muttering to herself, “Hmph, you big jerk, you still expect
to wait on you?
No chance.”
Not even a minute had passed when Song Xiaodong’s snores began, and her eyes rolled mischievously.
This guy was sleeping so soundly, and since he was exhausted, he must be incapable of resisting.
Considering how he had treated her so badly earlier, shouldn’t she take this opportunity to get her revenge?
The thought was indeed tempting.
Lin Shu’s gaze shifted to Song Xiaodong’s side waist.
Just a push and she could do whatever she wanted with his butt.
