Chapter 124: If You Don’t Believe Me, I’ll Leave Immediately
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ling Xuewei suddenly remembered the message Lin Bai sent her.
“Don’t go to the Second People’s Hospital.”
It was a simple four-word message without any explanation but she had subconsciously chosen to believe it at that time.
Now, the facts proved that she had made the right choice to believe it because if she had ignored her advice and insisted on sending her mother to the Second People’s Hospital, her mother might have been injured in the fire.
Even if she had not been injured, with her mother’s fragile mental state, she would have definitely been agitated and her illness would have worsened.
Ling Xuewei was very glad that she had chosen to trust her instincts and listened to Lin Bai’s advice.
She exchanged a few more pleasantries with President Qian before hanging up the phone and calling Lin Bai.
“Mr. Lin, I’m sorry to suddenly be disturbing you. I wonder if you have the time now? My mother just had another attack. It wasn’t easy for me to calm her down. I wonder if she will have another attack. Can I trouble you to come over and take a look at my mother?”
Ling Xuewei begged carefully.
Lin Bai had already predicted that she would definitely ask for his help. He had even prepared a full set of acupuncture needles in advance and was waiting for her to call him.
“Send a GPS location. I’ll be there in a while,” Lin Bai said.
Ling Xuewei did not expect Lin Bai to agree so readily.
This made her feel even more guilty. Previously, when Lin Bai offered to help treat her mother’s illness, she did not trust Lin Bai. She even felt that Lin Bai had ulterior motives.
She secretly thought to herself that if Lin Bai could really cure her mother’s illness, perhaps her mother could at least get some alleviation.
No matter what request Lin Bai made, as long as it was not too excessive, she would do her best to satisfy it.
“Mr. Lin, thank you so much. This is my family’s position. I’ll have to trouble you. Thank you, thank you.”
Ling Xuewei repeatedly thanked him.
Lin Bai chuckled and said, “If you want to thank me, leave it until I cure Auntie. My school is not far from your house. It will take about fifteen minutes. Wait for a while.”
After more than ten minutes, Lin Bai rang the doorbell of Ling Xuewei’s house.
Ling Xuewei quickly opened the door for him. Just as she was about to greet him, she was stopped by Lin Bai.
“Enough with the pleasantries. Where’s Auntie?”
Ling Xuewei replied, “In the bedroom. This way.”
Lin Bai followed her into the room and placed a new box of acupuncture needles on the bedside table. He took out one of the needles and was about to stab it into Wei Xinyue’s head.
Ling Xuewei was shocked by his actions and quickly grabbed his wrist.
“Hey, you…”
Lin Bai asked calmly, “What’s wrong?”
Ling Xuewei felt as if she was making trouble for no reason.
She did not know where she had lost her usual imposing aura.
She said weakly, “Don’t you need to examine her first?”
Although she did not know much about Chinese medicine, she knew that traditional Chinese medical treatment was all about looking, hearing, and asking questions. How could he just insert the needle right away?
Lin Bai said calmly, “I already know Auntie’s situation very well. There’s nothing that needs to be examined again. If you trust me, you can go out and wait for a while. After half an hour, I guarantee that I’ll return you a normal mother.”
“If you don’t trust me, then I’ll pack my things and leave immediately. I Won’t interfere again in the future.”
Ling Xuewei was a little flustered.
“No, no, no. Mr. Lin, please don’t leave.”
“I invited you here because I trust you. I… I’m just asking.”
Lin Bai said, “Chinese medicine is extensive and profound. Even if I explained a lot of knowledge, you might not be able to understand it. Just believe in me, then go out and wait.”
Ling Xuewei could not say anything more. She could only turn around and slowly move toward the door.
Lin Bai ignored her and focused on applying acupuncture treatment on Wei Xinyue.
Under the effects of the Divine Medical Skills, Wei Xinyue was no longer her original appearance in Lin Bai’s eyes.
All the acupoints and meridians were clearly seen in Lin Bai’s eyes.
Lin Bai knew exactly where to place the needles, how much force to use, and how deep to pierce them.
Step by step, he carried out the treatment plan in his mind.
Ling Xuewei paced back and forth at the door for God knows how many times. From time to time, she would lean against the side of the door and secretly peek inside.
From her point of view, her mother’s face was completely blocked by Lin Bai’s back.
She could only catch a glimpse of Lin Bai when he was twisting his body to take out the needles.
She saw that her mother’s face was covered in thin acupuncture needles. There were at least dozens of them.
Just looking at them made Ling Xuewei panic.
The blood vessels and nerves on her face were so dense. If one of the needles missed, there might be sequelae.
It might even lead to more serious consequences.
Lin Bai only said that he had medical skills passed down to him by his family, but in reality, the school he went to and the subject he majored in had nothing to do with medicine.
Strictly speaking, he did not even have the qualifications to practice medicine.
If there really was a chance…
As Ling Xuewei thought so, she became more and more anxious.
She asked herself again and again in his heart, ‘Is it really a wise decision to choose to believe in Lin Bai?
Could Lin Bai really be more experienced and more capable than those psychiatrists in a regular large hospital?
The more she asked herself, the more flustered Ling Xuewei became.
She even began to regret trusting someone who did not know her background, so rashly.
It would have been fine if nothing had happened, but if something had really happened, she might not be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.
Although Lin Bai did not look back the entire time, he knew that Ling Xuewei had been peeping at the door the whole time.
However, he did not make a fuss about it and did not chase Ling Xuewei away.
As long as she did not affect him, she could look at him if she wanted to.
Time passed by second by second, and Lin Bai maintained a steady pace as he administered acupuncture to Wei Xinyue.
Soon, the 108 acupuncture points on Wei Xinyue’s face were all filled with silver needles.
Lin Bai got up and walked out of the door.
Ling Xuewei looked at her and then at her mother who was covered in silver needles on the bed. She asked worriedly,
“How’s my mother?”
Lin Bai smiled and said, “She’s fine. She’ll be fine after I remove the needles.”
“Do you have water at home? Pour me some water. I’m thirsty.”
Ling Xuewei hurriedly nodded. “Yes, yes. Do you want mineral water or cold water?”
“Cold water is fine.”
Ling Xuewei quickly went to the kitchen and poured a cup.
When she handed the cup to Lin Bai, her fingertips accidentally touched Lin Bai’s palm.
The warm and dry touch made Ling Xuewei’s heart skip a beat.
“It’s so late, and I still have to trouble you to make a trip. I’m really sorry,” Ling Xuewei said.
This was originally a polite sentence. Under normal circumstances, most people would reply with something like “It’s no trouble.”.
However, what Ling Xuewei didn’t expect was that Lin Bai actually nodded.
He said, “Yeah, it’s a little troublesome. I didn’t even attend the evening class.”
“…”
Ling Xuewei was a little speechless.. She didn’t know how to continue this sentence.
