Chapter 204

204 Medical Examination

“Miss, the doctor that the Old Master has found for you has arrived. She said that she would check on your condition first.”

Madam Du said respectfully to Qing Xi

“I don’t want to see it. It’s already like this. I’ll just live one day at a time. At the end of the day, I’ll be free.”

The voice sounded very young, but it carried a dispirited resentment. It was said that since this young lady had contracted this illness, she had locked herself in her room for several years. Her originally pampered temper had become more and more strange and difficult to understand. The maidservants around her were changed like flowing water, but no one knew where the new ones had gone.

!!

“Qing Xi, I have a rough idea of your condition. It’s not impossible to cure you, but I need your cooperation. Otherwise, you will miss out on the original hope.”

Mo Ruyue had just finished speaking when she heard a cold snort from the other side.

“Hmph, nice words! I don’t know how many famous and divine doctors have seen my illness. What’s the result? Didn’t they all pretend to prescribe medicine, swindle a sum of money, and leave?”

“They’re all making a lot of money. I’ve drunk so much medicine, but I’m getting worse and worse. They’re all a bunch of liars who fish for fame and deceive the world!”

The more Qing Xi spoke, the more agitated she became. It was obvious that she was very opposed to Mo Ruyue’s appearance.

“Qing Xi, to be honest, it doesn’t matter to me whether I treat your illness or not. I won’t starve to death even if I don’t earn your money. However, I might have to face some risks. If you’re determined not to try, I won’t force you, because a doctor’s greatest taboo is to meet an uncooperative patient. If that’s the case, I won’t be able to use any of my means.”

Mo Ruyue hated to encounter such patients the most. Since they didn’t want to be treated, it meant that they wanted to die and be free. Then why did they have to continue to suffer? They could just use a white silk to be free.

She clearly wanted to live, but she still had to do things like heaven and earth, turning the hope of recovery into hopeless despair. It was a waste of money and energy, and she had to drag her family along to suffer with her.

Therefore, when she heard Mo Ruyue’s words, she immediately felt disgusted and spoke very rudely.

“Hmph, from your tone, you seem to be very confident in your medical skills? This young lady has seen too many liars like you. My father was in a desperate situation, so he believed you easily, but I won’t!”

Before Qing Xi could finish speaking, she choked on her own saliva due to her overly emotional state and started coughing violently.

There was a little maidservant standing outside the screen, waiting for her orders at any time. When she heard her young miss coughing like this, she rushed in and patted her back and poured her water.

Qing Xi finally stopped coughing when she heard Mo Ruyue speak unhurriedly again.

“I have full confidence in my medical skills, but I don’t have much confidence in you, Qing Xi. If you don’t believe me, you won’t cooperate with my treatment. Even if I’m a celestial of the great all-embracing heaven, I can’t cure you.”

“You’ll miss the chance to be cured, and then you’ll say that it’s because of my poor medical skills. At the same time, you’ll also damage my reputation. Wouldn’t that be more of a loss than gain?”

What Mo Ruyue was using now was a goading method.

Although she did not see Qing Xi’s face, she could clearly hear from her words that her desire to live was still strong. However, the repeated failures had exhausted her patience, causing her to start to fear and Harbor hope.

“You! Then I’d like to see what you’re capable of! Didn’t I just cooperate with you? It was not difficult! Tell me, how do you want this young lady to cooperate with you?”

Qing Xi had fallen for her goading as Mo Ruyue had wished.

Or rather, she still accepted the ladder that Mo Ruyue handed over and accepted her as her new doctor.

“Then I’ll have to take a look at Qing Xi’s condition first before I can proceed to the next step of treatment.”

Of course, Mo Ruyue would not expose Qing Xi’s little thoughts. She was now thinking about how to successfully perform this surgery.

“You can come over.”

Qing Xi said softly.

Mo Ruyue went around the screen and saw the woman who was half-lying on the bed.

She looked like she was only 15 or 16 years old. No wonder her voice sounded so tender.

Qing Xi had a beautiful face, but because she had been bedridden for a long time without seeing the sun, her face looked yellow and her lips were bloodless. Her face was so thin that her cheeks were sunken, and she did not have the youth and vitality that her age should have.

What was even more exaggerated was that her lower abdomen was bulging, looking like a pregnant woman about to give birth. No wonder she was not willing to leave the room to bask in the sun.

When Mo Ruyue saw this, she couldn’t help but frown.

If there was a tumor in her stomach, it would be a giant tumor, and the difficulty of this operation would be multiplied several times.

No wonder all the doctors from before were helpless. If it was someone else who performed this operation, Qing Xi would definitely die!

Mo Ruyue undid Qing Xi’s inner garment and gently massaged her round belly with her fingers. Even with such a gentle force, it still made Qing Xi’s face reveal a painful expression.

“How long have you been feeling this pain? Do you feel pain from a slight squeeze?”

Mo Ruyue slightly increased her strength and heard Qing Xi cry out “ouch.” Her entire body curled up in pain, and her forehead was instantly covered with bean-sized beads of sweat.

“Lady Qin, please be gentle! Our Miss can’t bear this kind of pain! Usually, she’ll be in pain for a long time even if she turns over. How can she take it if you press her down?”

Madam Du, who was standing at the side, also cried out in heartache when she saw this scene.

“I’m doing a checkup. How can I treat her without finding out her condition? You may feel heartache looking at her now, but when the tumor in her stomach ruptures, she will die from the pain. By then, you will be in so much pain that you will not even have the time to feel heartache.”

Mo Ruyue said without turning her head, and the movements of her hands did not stop.

She confirmed the size of the tumor, the location of its attachment, and the pressure on the internal organs through such an examination.

If she could send her into her interspace for a CT scan, she would be more confident in the surgery. With just this judgment of finger pressure, it was impossible to predict what kind of accidents would happen during the surgery.

Although Mo Ruyue already had a preliminary judgment in her heart, it was not enough to give her more than a 50% chance of the operation succeeding.

It seemed like she had to find an opportunity to send her into the interspace for a complete examination.

She thought to herself.

In fact, with the existence of the time adjustment device, Mo Ruyue could completely send Qing Xi into the medium to complete the operation and then send her out. This way, she could guarantee a 100% success rate.

However, this operation had to be completed with Imperial Physician Tian’s “help.” It was impossible for her to bring Imperial Physician Tian into interspace, so she rejected this choice.

Although she couldn’t do the surgery in interspace, she could still give Qing Xi a full body examination.
