Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085: There Are Too Many Smart People in the World
Luo Qiao and the others, seeing this state of affairs, dared not leave and accompanied everyone back to the living room.
Worried about causing concern, and since there were no outsiders, Gu Kairong shared what had happened that day.
Actually, Luo Qiao had wanted to check on her uncle for a while but hadn’t found the right opportunity. She was considering talking to Lu Yichen to see if her uncle would be willing to let her diagnose him. After all, it wasn’t just any illness, and she feared embarrassing her uncle.
But today, the topic came up, and Luo Qiao looked at Lu Yichen.
Lu Yichen gave Luo Qiao a slight nod and then said to his uncle, “Uncle, let Qiaoqiao take your pulse.”
Actually, he didn’t hold out much hope when he said this. His uncle’s condition had been examined by very reputable doctors according to his grandfather, and they all said there was no way to repair it. That place simply couldn’t be fixed.
Everyone was momentarily stunned when they heard this.
Wang Danli, who had just stopped crying, was the first to react. She looked at Gu Kairong and then turned to Luo Qiao, full of hope.
Luo Qiao stood up, “Uncle, let me take your pulse first before we discuss anything further.”
Gu Kairong came over to sit down, his heart pounding like thunder as he extended his hand. For some reason, his heart, which had long been dead, suddenly felt indescribable.
After taking the pulse seriously and contemplating for a moment, Luo Qiao broke into a smile.
Wang Danli, forgetting her sorrow, eyed Luo Qiao, “Qiaoqiao, what are you smiling about? Can it be treated?”
Luo Qiao asked, “Aunt, how old are you this year?”
Wang Danli didn’t understand why her niece-in-law was asking this, but she still answered, “I’m thirty-five years old.”
Speaking of age and thinking about how others her age were mothers of several children, while she was childless, the sour feelings in her heart inevitably rose again.
Luo Qiao then turned to look at Gu Kairong, “Uncle, how about you?”
Gu Kairong reluctantly admitted, “I’m ten years older than your aunt, forty-five this year.”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “Uncle, take a leave of absence for ten more days, we’ll start treatment from today. If nothing unexpected happens, you can start preparing for pregnancy in three months, and in half a year, you’ll be ready to have a baby.”
Upon hearing this, the living room went silent momentarily before the aunt burst into tears with a ‘waah’. Perhaps due to prolonged suppression, all her emotions erupted, and Gu Kairong hugged her, his own eyes reddening.
After a while, Old Master Gu asked excitedly, “Qiaoqiao, can it really be treated?”
Luo Qiao nodded, “It’s somewhat challenging, but it should be possible. I’ll do my best. However, during the acupuncture…”
Feeling embarrassed to continue, Luo Qiao scratched her head with her fingers and after gathering courage, continued, “It’s just that, during the acupuncture, uncle might need to cooperate.”
Everyone being adults instantly understood, though it was indeed somewhat embarrassing.
Luo Qiao sent Stone and Taifeng to take Yanyan and Yueyue to play in the small living room and then added, “When the time comes, you can wear shorts.”
If this were in the future, it might not matter much, as doctors see beyond gender, only patients. But now, in the late 1980s, people’s thoughts were more conservative, not to mention their familial relationship.
At Luo Qiao’s words, everyone fell silent.
Finally, it was Wang Danli who spoke, “Luo Qiao, no matter how difficult, your uncle will overcome it, but does it trouble you?”
Her words had a double meaning, and everyone understood.
In the end, Luo Qiao said, “Aunt, how about this, we can find a thin gauze, something as light as a scarf, to cover uncle with.”
Suddenly, someone couldn’t help but laugh, followed by laughter filling the living room, diffusing the previous awkwardness.
Master Gu decided, “Let’s do as Qiaoqiao suggested. If this were in a hospital, would they refrain from treating a patient?”
Once things were decided, Luo Qiao, regardless of what others thought or felt, hurriedly left with her group.
In fact, using her Special Ability to directly repair would have been possible, but she didn’t want to expose her secret nor take the risk, because there were too many clever people in the world.
~~~~~~
By the time Luo Qiao and her group arrived at the compound, a great drama was already brewing there.
After parking the car, they saw Yuan Jianing rush out of the house, followed by a large crowd of people; the scene was quite intimidating.
