Chapter 361: 191 Strongest White Lotus (First Update) _3
Gu Jiao remembered, he was the patient with Chronic Cholecystitis, quite handsome.
Gu Jiao acknowledged, “Okay, take him to my consulting room.”
The boy chuckled, “Alright!”
He was rather enthusiastic.
Gu Jiao was thirsty, she went back to her room to drink a bit of water before heading to the consulting room.
The first time Gu Jiao invited him to the consulting room he refused, but this time he agreed quite readily.
He was still wearing the same clothes as last time, except he had another patch on his sleeve.
His complexion was no longer waxy yellow, he looked healthier, much more handsome than before.
Seeing Gu Jiao walk in, he stood up to greet her, “Miss Gu.”
“Have a seat.” Gu Jiao sat down opposite him.
Gu Jiao assessed his look, “How are you feeling?”
Liu Yisheng touched his upper right abdomen, “I feel much better, it doesn’t hurt as much here anymore.”
The first day he picked up his medicine, he had little hope. It sounded contradictory, he knew that there was no doctor in Capital City who would prescribe him the exact medication he needed for his illness, yet he was always hopeful for a miracle.
Perhaps due to too many disappointments, before each dose of medicine, he always told himself that it would not work, almost as if such expectations would prevent further disappointment.
The effects weren’t noticeable on the night of taking the medicine, but the next day at dinner, he felt better and by the third night, he almost didn’t feel any pain and had a good night’s sleep.
Afterwards, he improved day by day, and by now he occasionally experienced a small bit of pain.
His improvement was as Gu Jiao had anticipated. Gu Jiao pointed to the pulse pillow on the table, “Put your hand on this.”
Liu Yisheng was not comfortable having a female doctor take his pulse, after hesitating for a while, he finally placed his hand on it.
Gu Jiao’s icy fingers touched his pulse.
Avoiding improper viewing, Liu Yisheng lowered his gaze.
His pulse was steady, just a bit quick.
Gu Jiao pulled her hand back, lifted his eyelids using her fingers to have a look.
This action made her lean towards him.
The girl’s breath permeated the air, it was like fresh grass after the rain, clean and refreshing.
Liu Yisheng’s eyelashes fluttered.
Gu Jiao let go of him, satisfied, “Good, keep taking the medicine, and I will add another to protect your liver.”
Liu Yisheng parted his mouth.
Gu Jiao quickly said, “At no additional cost.”
“Oh.” Liu Yisheng sighed with relief.
Last time, the medicine cost one hundred coins, and he only brought one hundred coins today.
Gu Jiao began to write the prescription. She wrote with charcoal, her handwriting was good enough, it was just the way she held the pen that intrigued Liu Yisheng.
Do people actually hold pens like that?
“This prescription is for seven days,” Gu Jiao said.
Liu Yisheng said, “But I only brought enough money for five doses.”
Without lifting her head, Gu Jiao said, “Then owe it, pay next time.”
Liu Yisheng suddenly laughed coldly, “Aren’t you afraid that once I have the prescription, I won’t come back?”
Gu Jiao uttered, “Aside from Miracle Hall, where else in Capital City would dare to prescribe you the right medicine?”
Liu Yisheng laughed again, this time at himself. He turned to Gu Jiao, “But Miss, aren’t you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?”
Gu Jiao handed him the completed prescription, “That’s my problem, you’re the patient, no need to worry.”
Liu Yisheng took the prescription. The handwriting wasn’t pretty, but it was firm and powerful.
He gripped the prescription tightly and said coldly, “If you do get in trouble for treating me, I will watch it unfold.”
Gu Jiao replied, “Okay.”
He was surprised by her answer.
Liu Yisheng looked at her.
They had met before, but this was the first time he really looked at her. Her face appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, but her demeanor was far more mature than her age suggested.
On the left side of her face was a noticeable red birthmark. Any ordinary girl with such a mark would probably stay hidden in her house, scared to go out, but she showed no signs of fear.
She had… a very unique aura.
“Any other questions?” Gu Jiao turned to him.
Liu Yisheng averted his gaze, “No, I just hope you don’t regret it. If you think I have important connections because I am from the Liu family, and you want to place a bet on me, I suggest you give up quickly. The Liu family can’t rise again, so don’t waste your time.”
Gu Jiao replied, “Oh.”
He had said what he had to, if she would not believe him, so be it.
Liu Yisheng turned around to leave.
Just as he stepped across the threshold, Gu Jiao asked lightly, “Want to make a bet?”
