Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Kowtowing Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Kowtowing The old lady sat up comfortably, looking at her dumbfounded daughter, “You girl, why such a ghost-stricken expression? I’m your mother, you don’t recognize me anymore?” she teased, laughing at her daughter.
Sally sat beside the old lady, who had long lost the will to sleep, her complexion very sallow and swelling evident below. Nausea and vomiting need not be mentioned, as the person was tormented to a state worse than death. But now, the old lady’s complexion had obviously improved, and she could sit up without Sally’s assistance.
This was merely ten minutes prior. Wasn’t this too miraculous?
She found it hard to believe.
Looking at Bai Xiao as if she were an immortal descending from the heavens.
The old lady, full of vigor, threw off the covers, ready to get out of bed, frightening Sally. Even with significant healing, one couldn’t just do this. Because of the swelling, the old lady’s bones had deformed, making her unstable on her feet. Sally had always had to help her, later getting a wheelchair to push her around. What if she fell while trying to get out of bed?
Sally hurried over, but it was still a step too late. The old lady, wearing her cotton shoes, was already standing boldly on the floor.
Seeing this made Sally’s heart race with worry, but the old lady actually walked up to Bai Xiao.
“Doctor Bai, I bow to you in thanks. No need for further words; I know my own body, and it’s already greatly healed. Doctor Bai, you’ve saved the lives of both me and my daughter!” the old lady said as she bent her knees, truly intending to kneel.
Bai Xiao quickly caught the old woman’s arms with both hands, adamantly preventing her from kneeling.
She couldn’t accept such an elderly person kneeling before her.
Despite the old lady’s frail appearance, she had surprising strength. Bai Xiao, nearly unable to support her, called to Sally nearby, “Come help me quickly.”
Only then did Sally snap out of it and ran over! Together with Bai Xiao, they helped the old lady back to sit on the bed.
The old lady kept muttering, “Doctor Bai, you’re a good person.”
Releasing her hold, Bai Xiao felt a chill; there was no chocolate here, no hot water, and certainly no air conditioning. Treating the old lady’s chronic uremia had indeed been a tough task; she wrapped her clothes tightly around herself.
“Thud!”
Before Bai Xiao could ask for hot water, Sally had already knelt before her.
Bai Xiao simply couldn’t take it anymore; she was frozen, stiff all over, unable to take care of herself.
Because of the commotion, Liu Hong and He Weng had already rushed in.
They walked in to see Bai Xiao standing on the floor with Sally kneeling before her, sincerely bowing her head three times in gratitude.
The sound of her forehead hitting the cement floor was so painful that it made listeners wince. Sally was truly exerting herself in her kowtows; otherwise, she couldn’t express her gratitude.
“He Weng, hurry and help her up!” Bai Xiao instructed weakly.
He Weng hurried over and helped Sally to her feet.
“Get me a bowl of boiling water, it must be boiling, add some brown sugar if there is any, and hand me a coat if you have one; I need to wrap up,” Bai Xiao was not in the mood for courtesy at that moment.
Sally blinked in confusion. What was this all about?
She hadn’t reacted for a while.
It was He Weng who suddenly remembered how he himself had been healed before; Bai Xiao had been even more formidable back then. Hurrying Sally along, he said, “Go quickly, Bai Xiao heals people using her family’s Qigong; there could be side effects.”
Meanwhile, He Weng ran to get a chair for Bai Xiao by the stove, Liu Hong had already helped Bai Xiao to sit on the chair, and He Weng had stoked the furnace, lifting the bottom flap to make the flames surge.
The temperature inside the room rose.
