Chapter 233 -233 Luck
Jiang Shaoqing glanced at the old man, “Doctor Bai, my grandfather…?” What he wanted to ask about was the old man’s health condition.
Bai Xiao looked at the many dumbfounded specialists, “I have done all I can, the rest depends on the specialists’ medicine and equipment. That is beyond my abilities; I only understand acupuncture treatment. I really don’t know anything about Western medicine, so you should hurry and let those specialists check him out. What medicine is required? What treatment is necessary? You need to act fast and not delay the treatment of the condition.”
Bai Xiao had learned to hold back her special ability when it advanced further. She would never again do things that shock the world. The relief for all her patients was only partial, and it was not possible to completely cure their physical condition.
That way, others would only think her acupuncture was extremely impressive and magical, but not to the extent that they would want to study her like a specimen.
At first, it was because she couldn’t control her special ability.
Now?
She was no longer that worried and frightened.
Jiang Shaoqing hurriedly summoned several specialists, “All the specialists, please check my grandfather quickly! See what treatment he needs now.” His grandfather had woken up; of course, they had to take good care of his health.
The specialists flocked over.
They also wanted to see what kind of acupuncture could be so miraculous, especially since treatment for patients in a vegetative state was a blank area in the world of medicine.
If Traditional Chinese Medicine’s acupuncture really had such treatment techniques, the combination of Western and Chinese medicine might pioneer a leading field in the treatment of vegetative state patients for their country.
Jiang Shaoqing didn’t have time to pay attention to Bai Xiao and Wang Han in front of him and ran out to call his father and a few uncles. After all, with Dean Jiang present, nothing could go wrong.
Bai Xiao, feeling much better, unwrapped her blanket and couldn’t help feeling sweetly about An Zhiyuan as she saw the hot, thermal vest she was wearing. The guy sometimes seemed obtuse but was actually very thoughtful and considerate in many things. Indeed, he was her nemesis from a previous life.
If not for fate, it wouldn’t have been An Zhiyuan who saved her, and his ability just happened to complement and counteract her own.
Hugging a cup, she drank hot cocoa and indeed felt much warmer.
…
Over there, a large group of people were bustling about.
After a series of examinations by four or five elderly specialists, the old man had indeed come around, but his physical condition wasn’t completely healed. The decline in his internal organs was still severe, though the symptoms of the stroke had disappeared. Director Zhang looked back at the young girl happily holding her cup and couldn’t help but marvel. Never mind everything else, there weren’t many who could alleviate a stroke with just two needles, probably only a handful of National Medical Sages in the whole country. Of course, they too could manage it, but it would require repeated sessions of acupuncture.
This young girl, just with two needles!
No matter how you look at it, maybe this young girl was just lucky. After the old doctor had just addressed the stroke, coincidentally, the old man woke up right after this young girl’s acupuncture. Whether it was the old Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor’s effect or this young girl’s skill, everyone saw that it was this young girl who had done the job.
The Jiang Family would remember this act of kindness.
Dean Xu glanced at Director Zhang’s expression and chuckled, “Better to be lucky than to be good in medicine!”
All of them, the doctors, unanimously believed that the young girl had benefited from good fortune.
But at this moment, it wasn’t appropriate to say anything, as they would be perceived as envious of another’s talent and ability, and these doctors weren’t foolish enough to do that.
Several people quickly began treating the old master, and although specific examinations had to be done at the hospital with sophisticated equipment, it was certain that they needed to administer medication to strengthen his immune system and reduce inflammation.
They also prescribed medication for the old master, which would require observation afterward.
Then the several doctors were asked to step out.
The old master had just awakened and was still somewhat listless, his spirit wasn’t great. After speaking for a while, he became drowsy and wanted to sleep, his eyelids had already closed.
Principal Jiang was somewhat afraid, what if the old master fell asleep and then couldn’t wake up again?
But he couldn’t disturb his own father.
He could only sneak up to Bai Xiao, rubbing his hands together, “Doctor Bai, um… about the old master… this…”
Bai Xiao looked at the old master, “It’s okay, although the old master keeps sleeping, his bodily functions are still depleting. Now he is actually getting some real sleep. Let him rest well; I reckon he should sleep until tomorrow. Prepare some millet porridge for him. He should be hungry when he wakes up. Smaller, more frequent meals, the old master hasn’t been eating properly for a long time, so his diet needs to be managed.”
Pricipal Jiang felt somewhat reassured, “That’s good, that’s good, Doctor Bai, I really can’t thank you enough for earlier.” Speaking these words, he felt somewhat guilty as he had in fact always distrusted the young lady; it was just that upon seeing how young she was, together with experts challenging her, he completely lost the joy he had felt when Wang Han had mentioned her at first.
People, sometimes, really follow the crowd without much thought.
This statement from someone who was already a vice-principal was already quite proper, and Bai Xiao didn’t expect Principal Jiang would say much more.
“Principal Jiang, you should get things ready. Although the old master has woken up, I have to say something unpleasant: his bodily functions have been significantly drained while bedridden these past days. He needs proper recuperation and a gradual return to health. Besides some necessary exercises, of course, he also needs your encouragement and companionship. At their age, the elderly don’t care for material wealth or luxury; they most likely need care and warmth from their children.” Bai Xiao had saved someone’s life and naturally hoped the old master could continue to live well.
Principal Jiang nodded, abashed. Indeed, this young girl understood principles that they themselves failed to heed, “Don’t worry, I understand.”
The front door suddenly made a loud noise, as the four sons of the Jiang Family had all arrived.
Bai Xiao could only head out with Xiaoli; with family members present, there was nothing left for her to do.
Upon leaving, she ran into Jiang Shaoqing.
Jiang Shaoqing had not been idle for a moment. With such a significant event as the old master awakening, of course, he had to inform his father and uncles, who had all been incredibly worried about the old master.
Now, seeing Bai Xiao, he approached her with a smile.
“Doctor Bai, why have you come out?”
Although the snow had stopped in Capital City, the temperature was still not high, and Jiang Shaoqing remembered that Bai Xiao had been freezing earlier.
Bai Xiao pointed inside the house, “It’s inconvenient, too many people.”
Jiang Shaoqing immediately gestured for a housemaid to come over, “Arrange the best room for Doctor Bai and her assistant, make sure everything they need in terms of food and drinks are well taken care of! We cannot neglect our guest!”
Bai Xiao understood that she definitely wouldn’t be leaving that evening. She nodded her thanks and followed the elderly housemaid away, with Xiaoli in tow.
Watching Bai Xiao walk away, Jiang Shaoqing let out a sigh of relief and lifted the curtain to go see his grandfather.
