Su Xiaoxue really wanted to hear this voice again because not only was the voice very kind, it also brought her warmth and hope, just like a bright light in endless darkness .
She wanted to take a look at Dr . Wang desperately, but she could not move her neck and could only move her eyes . Although she could see, she could not see clearly . What she saw was just a blurry figure .
Oh?
Wang Yao felt that the patient lying on the bed was looking at him . The eyes were like covered with a layer of mist, but they were very calm and soft .
Don’t worry .
Thank you .
It was a verbal and silent conversation .
“Did she receive any special treatment lately?”
“Chen Lao comes over to give her an injection every other day . Otherwise, she has not received any other treatments,” Song Ruiping said as she let out a sigh of relief .
“This is a good sign . Your illness is slowly recovering,” Wang Yao said with a smile to Su Xiaoxue who was lying on the bed .
Thank you . I can feel it too . I hope you can hear my heartfelt wishes .
After finishing the diagnosis for Su Xiaoxue, the sky had already darkened .
“It’s almost time, why don’t you stay and have a meal, Dr . Wang?” Song Ruiping offered .
“It’s okay, I have food already prepared, and I still have some personal matters to tend to . ”
Eating with the rich had many rules . The atmosphere was bad and uncomfortable . Wang Yao instinctively resented and rejected it .
“Alright . Just tell us if you need anything . ”
“Sure . ”
Dr . Wang stepped out of the Su family’s house, walking back together with Chen Ying .
“Sir, why didn’t you stay and have a meal with them?” Chen Ying asked .
An invitation from the Su family was a rare opportunity and an honor which many people could not ask for . However, the invitation was rejected by the young doctor so easily .
“I don’t like that sort of atmosphere . It’s too restrictive and uneasy,” Wang Yao laughed while he revealed the reason .
After hearing the reason, Chen Ying paused her footsteps, a blank expression on her face .
“Just because of this reason?”
“Why, isn’t that enough?”

“It’s quite enough,” Chen Ying said while smiling . “Dr . Wang is indeed an interesting man . ”
“Haha . ” Wang Yao gave out a laugh .
After walking for a short while, they returned to the small courtyard .
“I’ll get dinner ready for you immediately . ”
“No rush . Take your time . ”
It is so rare to have a talented person who has good manners, knows Kung Fu and can cook well!
Wang Yao thought silently, looking at Chen Ying’s back .
Chen Ying’s efficiency was very high . With half an hour’s effort, she prepared a special dinner with some exquisite Huaiyang dishes and soup .
“Time is limited, so it’s a simple dinner,” Chen Ying said while chuckling .
“Being overly modest is not a good thing,” Wang Yao said . Such cooking skills should be sufficient to compete with some chefs . “There are so many dishes, why don’t we eat together?”
“It’s okay, thank you . ”
Just like the situation last time, Wang Yao ate all the food alone . Chen Ying upheld the respect and kept the distance that she should .
Deep inside her heart, she really wanted to communicate and make contact with this extraordinary peer . However, her identity and the side she represented, as well as the orders given above, did not allow her to do so .
This was the rule . In fact, she admired Wang Yao . In certain situations, she could ignore this kind of rule .
This was the special “right” brought by extraordinary ability .
After dinner, Chen Ying cleaned up the dishes quickly .
“Are you still going out tonight, Sir?”
“No, I’m not . ”
“I’ll leave first then . Please call me if there’s anything . ”
“Alright . ”
Wang Yao sat in the courtyard for a while . The sky in the city was still gray, making people feel uncomfortable . It was far worse than the night sky on Nanshan hill .
The night of the capital was bustling and colorful .
This neighborhood had a rare silence and peace, keeping the hustle and bustle beyond a certain distance .

At the Su family’s house, Song Ruiping was chatting with her husband .
“Has Dr . Wang arrived?”
“He arrived this afternoon . He already came to see Xiaoxue . ”
“How was it?”
“He said that Xiaoxue’s condition is improving, which is a good sign . ”
“Didn’t Chen Lao say the same thing the last time he came? Didn’t you make Dr . Wang stay to have a meal?”
“I invited him to stay, but he rejected, saying he had some personal matters . I guess he didn’t want to?” Song Ruiping said .
“Sigh . Do you think it’s possible to make him stay in the city?”
“What do you think? If it’s possible, the Guo Family would’ve done so,” the middle-aged man said while sipping his water .
“I think we can try . If he isn’t able to heal Xiaoxue’s illness completely this time and leaves and comes again another time, what are we going to do? Do we just keep waiting?” Song Ruiping said . This had always been the problem that she was worried about .
The middle-aged man did not say anything after listening .
This issue did need to be considered .
“I’ll talk to him about it tomorrow . ”
“That will do . ”
…
The next day, the weather was sunny . The temperature was slightly high, after all, summer had started for quite some time .
Wang Yao woke up in the morning and practiced as usual . After that, he went to the Su family’s house .
Coincidentally, the skinny Chen Lao was there too .
“Hello, young friend,” this old man greeted while smiling after seeing Wang Yao .
“Hello, Chen Lao . ”
That day, not only was Song Ruiping home, her husband was home too . The middle-aged man, who had a slightly plump figure and a kind face, was very classy and easygoing . However, his gestures would inadvertently show some charisma . This was a special characteristic for people who had been in high positions for a long time .
“I brought some special herbs this time to let Miss Su try . ”
“Okay,” Song Ruiping responded quickly .
Wang Yao took out the Muscle Revitalization powder which was prepared earlier . It was the one diluted with water among the two bottles .
“Remove her gauze . This medicine is used externally . ”

The gauze on her right hand was removed layer by layer . Her festered skin inside which was turning black and purple was shown . It was as if her skin was being flame-grilled, eroded by sulfuric acid and, it let out a bad smell .
This was just her hand . The other parts of her body were also in similar conditions . What kind of pain did she have to endure?
It was like being above a flame and being immersed in boiling water .
Only the patient knew how the pain was like . It was never-ending suffering and torture that made dying better than living .
Wang Yao opened the porcelain bottle . Suddenly, a strange fragrance drifted out, instantly covering the stench of the festered skin .
The people in the room looked at Wang Yao . More accurately, they were looking at the unremarkable white porcelain bottle in his hands . A pill was poured out from a similar porcelain bottle last time, saving the dying Su Xiaoxue . What would be poured out from it this time?
“Such a unique fragrance . What medicine are you using?” Chen Lao stared at the porcelain bottle almost without blinking .
Wang Yao poured out an aquamarine-colored viscous liquid . He dripped the liquid directly onto the patient’s palm . Under this kind of situation, it was impossible to evenly apply the liquid onto the skin . Once applied, it would inevitably come into contact with the festered skin, which would only increase the patient’s suffering .
After pouring it onto the festered palm, the medicine penetrated quickly into the muscle tissue . Other than that, there was nothing special to be seen .
They were unable to see, but Su Xiaoxue felt it . Her whole body felt like it was being roasted on fire . Only her left palm felt cool as if it were immersed in cool and refreshing water, not to mention how comfortable it was .
Wang Yao did not know the effects of the medicine, hence he only poured a little bit of medicine onto her palm . He then put the porcelain bottle away, sat beside the bed to observe for a short while and checked her pulse . By looking at the pulse pattern, the medicine seemed to be effective, but its effects were limited .
Dripping a few drops of water onto a fire would not have much of an effect .
“Wrap the hand first for now,” Wang Yao said after a few moments .
“I still have some medicine here . Tell people to get the herbs according to the formula and let her consume it . ” Wang Yao took out a formula list with a few common herbs written on it . Their functions were to consolidate the corporeity . Although they were not as effective as the Regather soup, they were not bad either .
“I’ll arrange someone to do it immediately,” Song Ruiping said as she took the formula .
“I’ll go back now then,” Wang Yao said as he got up .
“Dr . Wang, please wait for a moment,” Su Xiaoxue’s father stopped Wang Yao .
This middle-aged man’s name was Su Xianghua, and he was in a high position .
“Can we talk alone?”
“Sure . ”
Both of them went to a study room . Someone served two cups of tea, then they left and closed the room’s door .
“As a father, I want to thank you for helping my daughter,” Su Xianghua said, his voice full of sincerity .
“You’re welcome,” Wang Yao replied while smiling .
“Her illness has always been my deepest worry, towards the entire family as well . We have invited many famous doctors, but the effects were limited . Dr . Wang’s arrival gave us hope . ”
“You’re flattering me . ”
“What do you think of the city?”
“It’s fine . It’s very prosperous,” Wang Yao replied .
“Do you have any thoughts on coming to the city for development?”
“No,” Wang Yao responded without a second a thought . He already vaguely guessed Su Xianghua’s intention of talking to him alone .
“Dr . Wang, in my own name, I’d like to invite you to come to the city for further development on your profession . I can help you solve any problems,” Su Xianghua offered .
Wang Yao did not know his status . In fact, the weight of his statement was huge .
“That’s very kind of you . I still prefer the tranquility of a small town . I’m not used to staying here . ”
“That’s okay . If you change your mind, feel free to contact me anytime . ”
“Alright . ”
After the cup of tea was finished, their conversation was considered to be over as well .
Chen Lao looked at the formula given by Wang Yao in the living room .
“Hey, how did he think of matching the herbs like this?!”
“What is it, Chen Lao? Does the medicine have any problem?” Song Rui Ping said .
“No problems; it’s very good . ” The old Doctor Chen replied while smiling .
“I’ll then arrange someone to get the herbs according to the formula . ”
“Of course you can . Dr . Wang’s medical skills are very brilliant and remarkable!”
Wang Yao made a move to leave after coming out of Su Xianghua’s study room . The couple walked him to the door .
“How did it go?” Song Ruiping asked as she looked at Wang Yao’s distant figure .
“He does not have any thoughts on coming to the city,” Su Xianghua replied .
“Then, did you not…”
“We’ll discuss this matter in the future, don’t think about it for now,” Su Xianghua interrupted his wife’s words . Through the conversation just now, he saw some very rare things in this young man .
The attitude of being neither humble nor pert, having a calm demeanor towards power and the indifference towards rights and money .
It was very rare!
