Zheng Min looked at Jiang Yiru anxiously. “Doctor, how is my daughter? What treatment do you recommend?”
Jiang Yiru frowned and looked perplexed.
“This… this young comrade’s leg has an internal injury. I’m not sure of the exact reason, but her bone is probably injured.”
Zheng Min frowned. “Her bone is injured? Impossible! My daughter has never done any vigorous exercise and has not been injured. How could her bone be injured for no reason?”
Jiang Yiru shook her head. “I really have no way of determining that. Your only sensation is pain, and only in that area. The rest is all normal and unaffected. It’s very strange!”
“I’ve already examined her for a long time, and I feel that the most probable explanation is that something has gone wrong internally. In my current circumstances, I have no way of being sure.”
Zheng Min panicked. “Then… then is there no way to treat her? My daughter just has to continue suffering?”
The pain came and went away at will, and when it came, it was very severe. It was almost unbearable. During this time, her daughter had not left the house because someone outside could easily tell that something was wrong.
Recently, their family had been continually seeking medical treatment, and others were discussing it fervently. Some even said that Bai Youran had a terminal illness.
Zheng Min knew that her daughter’s situation must not drag on. Her daughter was of the right age to be thinking of marriage. Once this news got out and was confirmed, her daughter would be at a disadvantage on the marriage market.
This must not be allowed to happen!
“Doctor, you have to think of a way to help her. She’s a girl and so young too. She can’t carry on like that! How can a young girl stand such suffering? You must think of a way to help her.”
Jiang Yiru frowned. “I cannot cure her completely, but I might be able to provide some relief. Right now, I have no solution, but that does not mean that no one else has the solution. Why don’t I provide some treatment and give you some medicine? At least it will bring some relief and make the pain more bearable. When you meet a better physician, you can seek his help.”
Zheng Min did not say anything, but Bai Youran said angrily, “Are you thinking of giving me painkillers again? Are all doctors useless? I’m in such agony, can’t you think of another solution besides painkillers?”
Bai Youran was very irritable because of her recent illness. Jiang Yiru was the kind of person that she despised as well, as the former could only provide relief but could not cure her. Her patience was exhausted, and she started shouting at Jiang Yiru.
A cold light flashed across Jiang Yiru’s eyes.
She was the master of Jiangnan’s medical family. Although both she and her family had fallen on hard times, that had nothing to do with her medical skills.
No patient had ever dared to speak to her like that.
Jiang Yiru’s faint smile was rather chilly.
“This… Please excuse my poor medical skills. I really have no other solution.”
“What do you mean by that?” Bai Youran was so angry that she slammed her fist on the table.
Zheng Min hurriedly restrained her. “All right, Youran, don’t panic.”
With that, she looked at Jiang Yiru, “Doctor, can you provide relief? To what extent will this work? Will she be able to go out and resume her normal activities?”
As long as she could go out as per normal, it would be good enough. Then her daughter could continue to maintain her image as the Bai family’s young lady.
Jiang Yiru thought for a while and said, “She should be able to. After taking the medicine and recuperating for a while, the pain will not be so unbearable even when it comes. Although it will still hurt, she just has to bear with it for some time before it passes. It should not be unbearable.”
