“I guess so,” the middle-aged man said .
Although they had all heard about Wang Yao, they had never seen him before . They also had no idea how Wang Yao treated his patients .
“Ah! Gee!”
The skinny young man suddenly felt cold and dizzy . He started to have double vision . He felt uncomfortable but couldn’t describe how he was feeling .
“Son, what’s wrong with you?” his mother asked anxiously . She had noticed something was not right with her son .
The skinny young man seemed to try his best to stop something from happening .
“He’s having a withdrawal . ” His father frowned .
“Ah!”
The young man grabbed the back of his chair tightly . He clenched his teeth, making crunching sound .
“Dr . Wang! Dr . Wang!” His mother was panicked . “Baby, don’t scare me . ”
Thud! The young man fell to the ground, shaking badly and yelled, “On my god, I can’t bear it! I can’t bear it anymore!”
He rummaged in his pocket for something . He then took out a small pack . On it was written: Bubble Tea . He tried to open the pack with his shaking hands .
Pah! His father took it away from his hands .
“Dad, please, just give me a little bit . Just a little bit!” begged the young man .
“No!” his father sternly said .
“Mom, please! Mom! I just need a little bit . ” The young man knelt down on the ground, shaking badly .
“This… This is…” The woman didn’t know what to do . “Darling, look at your son . Maybe just give him a little bit?”
“Shut up!” The man gave his wife a hard look . “Do you want him to die?”
The woman didn’t dare speak one more word . She just held her son’s head .
The young man was scratching himself and rolling on the floor in pain .
“Dr . Wang, could you please come here?” the young man’s mother shouted .

“What happened?” Wang Yao calmly came into the room .
“Please take a look at my son . Please save him,” she said .
“Move away,” Wang Yao said .
He squatted down and rapidly patted on the young man lying on the floor . The young man’s breath gradually became steady . He began to look better .
“Oh my!” The young man slowly sat up . He was sweating from his forehead . All his discomfort gradually disappeared like a falling tide .
“How do you feel?” Wang Yao asked .
“I’m much better!” The young man took a deep breath .
“Wait here,” Wang Yao said .
He left the room, leaving the young man and his parents alone .
“Son, are you okay?” the young man’s mother asked .
“Mom, I’m fine now . ” The young man was still a bit short of breath and felt a bit dizzy . He was also exhausted .
“I’ll get you a glass of water . ” She found the thermos bottle and some paper cups . Wang Yao had left these in a place so no one would miss them .
“Drink some water . Be careful, it’s hot,” the young man’s mother said .
Creak! Wang Yao opened the door to enter the room with a bowl of herbal decoction . He thought, What a soft mother!
“Get up!” Wang Yao didn’t sound nice .
The young man immediately sat up .
“Take the decoction . ” Wang Yao gave him the decoction he had just brewed .
“Thank you,” the young man said .
Although the decoction was still quite warm, the young man drank it all up . It tasted bitter and was like a warm current going all the way down to his stomach .
Thirty minutes later, Wang Yao checked his pulse and observed his response to the decoction .
“It worked,” Wang Yao declared .

He then massaged the young man’s trunk to stimulate his meridians and acupuncture points . The massage strengthened the effect of the decoction .
“Take the decoction for seven days,” Wang Yao said . “Come back here in seven days . Make sure you make an appointment before coming . If I’m not here, keep an eye on your son . ”
“What can we do when he has a withdrawal?” the middle-aged man asked .
“Tie him up,” Wang Yao said succinctly .
“How much should we pay you?” the father asked .
“10,000,” Wang Yao replied .
“How much?” the young man and his parents gasped altogether .
“What? You think I’m over charging?” Wang Yao calmly asked . “You have the money for him to take drugs, but no money for the treatment?”
“No, I don’t mean it,” the young man’s mother anxiously said .
They eventually paid the fee and left the clinic . They didn’t look happy when they left .
“It’s so expensive,” the woman said .
“Money is not what we should worry about at the moment, as long as he can help our son . It’s not like we can’t afford the treatment . Be aware of what you say next time,” the young man’s father said .
After witnessing him getting his son’s withdrawal under control, he thought Wang Yao was an extraordinary doctor . Not many doctors in their 20s were so capable . It was understandable that Wang Yao was a bit arrogant .
Although they thought Wang Yao was arrogant, he actually he wasn’t . He was just a bit angry . He thought kids like that young man took their happy life for granted .
“Do you think the decoction is going to work?” the young man’s mother asked while looking at the two porcelain bottles in her hands .
“You’ll know it soon . Don’t tell this to anyone else,” the young man’s father said .
“I know,” she replied .
Lu Xiaomei went to see Su Changhe in a Beijing hospital to get checked after taking the decoction from Wang Yao .
“What are the results, Changhe?” Lu Xiaomei asked .
“You’ve only taken the decoction a few days . It won’t take effect so fast,” Su Changhe said with a smile .

“I know . I just can’t wait,” Lu Xiaomei replied .
“Okay, show me the results . ” Su Changhe took a look at Lu Xiaomei’s blood tests .
“What?” Su Changhe said in low voice .
“What’s wrong?” Lu Xiaomei asked anxiously .
“Nothing . Actually, your results are good . Let’s go to see another doctor,” Su Changhe said .
He took Lu Xiaomei to a specialist .
“What do you think, Dr . Sun?” Su Changhe asked .
“Hmmm . It’s good that you took medication in time . Your condition has improved,” Dr . Sun said after reading the test results .
“Good, thank you,” Su Changhe said .
Su Changhe and Lu Xiaomei went back to Su Changhe’s office .
“Are you happy now?” Su Changhe asked .
“Yes, at least I’m less worried . ” Lu Xiaomei showed a hint of smile . Su Changhe hadn’t seen her smile in a long time .
“Have you just taken the decoction from Dr . Wang or taken both herbs and Western medicine?” Su Changhe asked .
“Just Dr . Wang’s decoction,” Lu Xiaomei replied .
“Make sure you take the decoction as instructed by Dr . Wang,” Su Changhe said . “I will go with you to Lianshan again . We are old schoolmates and friends . I should help you . ”
While they were talking, a man pushed the door and came into the office .
“Yue Chongyang!” Lu Xiaomei’s face changed as soon as she saw the man .
“Hi, Changhe . Oh, Xiaomei’s here too . ” The man was Yue Chongyang . He had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were dull . He was no longer that confident and successful man who had always been in good spirit .
“Changhe, please help me,” Yue Chongyang said .
“What happened?” Su Changhe asked .
“Let me show you . ” Yue Chongyang lifted his clothes to show Su Changhe his abdomen . There were a lot of blisters on his abdomen, which looked terrible .
“Oh my god!” Su Changhe was shocked .
Yue Chongyang had started to show symptoms .
“I’ll leave you guys here . ” Lu Xiaomei stood up and was about to leave .
“Xiaomei, are you okay?” Yue Chongyang asked with concern .
“How come you don’t know if I’m okay?” Lu Xiaomei asked coldly . She then left the office with determination .
“Changhe, is Xiaomei okay?” Yue Chongyang asked .
“Her condition is better,” Su Changhe replied .
“That’s good . It is all my fault,” Yue Chongyang said .
He felt guilty about passing this horrible disease to his wife . However, what had happened had happened . It was too late for him to amend anything . It was useless for him to regret what he had done .
“Let’s go . I’ll take you to see Dr . Sun . He’s on duty today,” Su Changhe said .
“I’m not optimistic about your condition,” Dr . Sun said after taking a good look at Yue Chongyang .
“What can I do?” Yue Chongyang asked anxiously .
“Well, let’s change the medication to see if it will improve your condition,” Dr . Sun said .
“Do I need to stay in the hospital for treatment?” Yue Chongyang asked .
“You can consider that,” Dr . Sun said .
“Okay, I’ll stay in the hospital for some time,” Yue Chongyang replied .
He had become increasingly scared . He had done some research online and knew what could happen to him . In addition, the disease was extremely hard to treat . He had started to contact overseas specialists to receive treatment if he couldn’t be cured in China .
“Changhe, I never expected things would turn out this way,” Yue Chongyang said with a sigh .
“I understand . Don’t think about it too much . Just focus on the treatment,” Su Changhe said .
“Sure, can you please put in a good word for me with Xiaomei?” Yue Chongyang asked .
He still wanted to save his marriage .
“Okay, I’ll try,” Su Changhe said .
