Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Astounding Medical Skills!
Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Weibao was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat and couldn’t even speak.
All she could do was let Lu Hualiang and Hepburn press her down onto the hospital bed, and then they lifted up her clothes to check the wound on her back.
When they saw the scab that had formed on her back and the new flesh growing in, even Lu Hualiang, who was not versed in medicine, could tell her wound was healing.
And it was healing at an incredibly rapid pace!
His face showed shock. Wasn’t it said that her burns were so severe that the only option other than skin grafts was out of the question?
Why was new flesh growing?
Then he noticed the layer of black ointment smeared over it, the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Lu Hualiang thought of her intention to seek a Chinese medicine practitioner.
His eyes narrowed slowly, this Xia Weibao…
Meanwhile, Hepburn was so excited upon seeing Xia Weibao’s injury that he started trembling all over.
Examining her wound further, he became so thrilled that he could hardly put his words together.
He babbled incessantly, his English spewing out like a machine gun.
He was dragging Xia Weibao into his excited, incoherent rambling.
Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded in the hospital room.
Hepburn was babbling like a psycho, while Xia Weibao looked on calmly as if watching a madman…
This situation could only be described by one phrase, casting pearls before swine.
A classic case of a language barrier.
Lu Hualiang’s frown grew deeper.
Hepburn shared that he had retreated from the world precisely because he wanted to devote himself to studying traditional Chinese medicine. He never expected to witness its miraculous effects today.
He asked Xia Weibao where the ointment came from and if she could give him some to study.
Xia Weibao was in so much pain that she had begun to question her existence, and truly didn’t want to deal with the excited Hepburn.
She looked at Xiang Chu, “Bring me the ointment.”
Xiang Chu brought over the ointment, and he also pressed the buzzer to call a nurse into the room.
As for Hepburn, he lost all his maturity and composure at that moment, turning into a little fangirl. He pounced next to Xiang Chu, obsessed with the ointment in his hands.
To those unaware, one might think the ointment was his beloved wife.
Soon, the nurse came in and pulled the curtains around the bed to apply the medicine to Xia Weibao.
Checking the wound merely involved lifting a corner of the clothing to see her back, so it wasn’t a problem with others present.
But applying medicine required undressing, something definitely not to be done in front of onlookers.
The ointment had an anesthetic effect, finally giving some relief to Xia Weibao.
Seeing such effectiveness, Hepburn was as reverent as if he had seen God himself.
In the medical world, Hepburn’s reputation was legendary, and of course, Xiang Chu was aware of who he was.
More than that, Hepburn was his idol, the target of his aspirations.
But at this moment, the idol looked at his master with a very frightening gaze.
That was not wonderful at all.
Baby Xiang Chu’s alarm bells rang loudly, “Tm dare to compete with me for my master, the idol can turn nauseating!”
Sure enough, once Hepburn learned that the ointment was developed by Xia Weibao, he became overjoyed and pleaded with her to teach him, eventually asking to become her apprentice.
Xiang Chu immediately stepped in front of him and sternly declined.
Uncle, we do not “date”!
“Sorry, Doctor He, my master does not take disciples!”
They were speaking English, and Xia Weibao felt as if she was watching two dogs barking at each other outside her door. Even though she didn’t understand, she still thought they were quite formidable.
On his way to the hospital room, Xiang Minhai felt troubled. Just thinking about Xia Weibao’s wounds being treatable made him very unhappy!
Such a flirtatious and shameless woman deserved to be disfigured.
And to think she dared to look down upon his medical skills, he’d see her dead!
Suddenly, an idea came to him, and he slowly began to smile.
Although the surgery was performed by Doctor He, the location was right here. As long as he tampered with something…
