288 Facing Your Demon
“Master Gao, don’t be anxious. Let’s go in and talk!”
Seeing that he was really anxious, Qin Xi smiled faintly and quickly comforted him. “Actually, it’s not difficult to treat your legs. What’s difficult to treat is your mentality. You’ve always felt inferior about your legs and never dared to face it head-on, causing you to be traumatized. You don’t even have the courage to treat it, so you thought that there was no cure.”
Hearing her words, Gao Huiren was enlightened. Indeed, he had been subconsciously avoiding it.
Today, after Qin Xi pointed it out, he felt extremely ashamed. “Miss Qin, you’re right. I indeed…”
“Master Gao, there’s no need to say anything else. Actually, this is human nature. For example, when the person you care about the most is experiencing a life-and-death situation, you, who has the best medical skills, will be so afraid that you can’t even perform the most basic operation. Because you care, you’re afraid of losing that person. This is very normal. As long as you overcome your fear, I believe all the difficulties will be solved.”
Perhaps because he had thought things through, Gao Huiren relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his body. He smiled much more sincerely and shook his head. “I’m ashamed. I can’t even see things as clearly as a young girl.”
“A bystander is always clear-minded.”
The two of them arrived at the recreation area of the sanatorium. It was already October, and the weather was neither hot nor cold, giving people an extremely comfortable feeling.
Qin Xi took out a small notebook and pen from her pocket. As she wrote, she explained, “Master Gao, I’ll write down the treatment method and herbs for you first. You need to treat your legs yourself. It just so happens it is also a chance for you to face your own demon. I believe that as long as you take the first step, the rest will be nothing to you.”
“Thank you, Miss Qin!” Although Gao Huiren had made up his mind to face his fear, he was still very nervous. He clenched his fists and tried his best to control his trembling hands.
Not long after, Qin Xi finished writing the treatment method. She tore off the paper and handed it to him with a smile. “Master Gao, this is the way to treat you.”
Gao Huiren took the paper and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and the more frustrated he was.
This… he clearly knew this treatment method, but he didn’t use it for so many years. This feeling of frustration was so uncomfortable that he almost couldn’t breathe.
Just as Qin Xi had said, it was him who kept running away from the issue that caused the situation to worsen. Fortunately, he met Qin Xi, and it wasn’t too late to realize it. Otherwise, he would probably die with regret.
His eyes were red. Just as he raised his head to say something to Qin Xi, he realized that she was gone.
Gao Huiren was slightly stunned. He looked around and saw Qin Xi waving at him as she walked away.
Qin Xi came to Mu Tianzheng’s ward. Now that Mu Tianzheng had completely recovered from the poison and his old illness, it was time for him to undergo a thoracotomy operation to remove the shrapnel in his body. Therefore, many experts and scholars came to the ward today, all of whom were waiting for Qin Xi.
Although she did not know how to perform a thoracotomy operation, she was no less useful than any of the experts here because during the operation, Mu Tianzheng would suffer from excessive bleeding.
Therefore, her role was to stop the bleeding. In short, no one dared to underestimate her.
