Wen Xin, relieved that the child seemed to have no issues with his intelligence, placed the candy bean into his mouth.
After tasting the sweet and sour candy, the child’s previously bewildered eyes brightened with a smile. With a soft and tender voice, he said, “Thank you, pretty sister!”
“You’re welcome!” Wen Xin gently pinched the child’s now rosy cheeks, smiling affectionately.
“The little one is doing well. The high fever didn’t damage his brain. I was sure of it when I was inserting the needles. His limbs are fine too. If he doesn’t get a fever tonight, he should be recovered.”
The woman was amazed at Wen Xin, not expecting to encounter such a miraculous healer here, especially one so young, around twenty years old.
Hearing Wen Xin confirm her child was alright, the woman burst into tears, overwhelmed with emotion after having been so close to despair.
“Alright, stop crying. Why did you come by yourself? It’s not good for the child to be in the wind right now. Have someone come to pick you up. I’ll take you out through the front door.”
Wen Xin eyed the woman’s clothes, sensing that she must be someone of no small importance, and it was strange that she came alone with her child to seek medical help.
“I had an argument at home. They wanted to take the child to another hospital, but I wanted to bring him to Master Zhuge, so we disagreed. Fortunately, I met you; otherwise, my baby…”
The woman’s emotions surged as she spoke, the stress of the past three days pouring out. She was nearly driven mad with worry for her sick child.
Wen Xin sat quietly, letting the woman cry until she was finished. She wrote down a prescription and placed it next to the ‘candy’ jar, sliding both towards the woman.
“Use this prescription for the child’s baths. He should fully recover in three days. Keep this pill; if he feels unwell, he can take one.”
The woman, now calmer, held Wen Xin’s gifts and softly thanked her.
“Miss, let’s exchange contact information so I can transfer the medicine’s cost to you!”
“There’s no need for payment. We can exchange contact information, though. You can message me on WeChat if you need anything.” Wen Xin felt an unexpected softness in her heart for the mother and child, perhaps because the child was so adorable. She was willing to help the mother and son.
After exchanging contacts, the woman’s husband arrived to pick her up. Wen Xin escorted them out through the front door of the Zhuge residence.
A Hongqi car was parked outside. Wen Xin glanced at the license plate and squinted slightly, realizing the woman’s status was indeed not ordinary.
“Miss Wen, thank you for today. Once my baby is better, I’ll treat you to a meal. Please don’t refuse when the time comes!” The woman, holding her child, leaned out the car window to speak warmly to Wen Xin.
Wen Xin waved without a word and turned to walk back.
The man in the car watched Wen Xin’s retreating figure, somewhat surprised by her demeanor.
“Are you saying that young lady cured our baby?” The man held his son, who was enjoying a lollipop, still in disbelief. The hospital could not do anything about it, yet this young lady had a solution.
“Yes, she saved our son. Master Zhuge showed her great respect. I’m not sure what her status is, but now that our little treasure is well, let’s go home. We don’t want to worry Grandfather anymore, especially with his birthday in three days. If we make Grandfather anxious, we’ll be in big trouble!’”‘
The woman gently pinched YouYou’s cheek and leaned on the man’s shoulder, speaking softly.
Back in the courtyard, Zhuge Jingming emerged from the treatment room, his plump body moving towards Wen Xin with a smile.
“Little Uncle-Master, what brings you here today?”
“I came to seek treatment. I want to regulate my body. Every time I have my period, my whole body feels cold. It must be the impact from back then. I want to adjust it.”
Zhuge Jingming’s expression darkened upon hearing Wen Xin’s words. She had been severely injured in the past, and despite his master and father’s efforts, they only managed to save her, leaving lasting effects.
Wen Xin smiled wryly, knowing the difficulty. A hint of helplessness was in her smile.
“I’ve never thought of treating myself because I figured I’d be alone all my life. Life and death, I’ve seen it all, nothing left to cling to. Whether my body is well or not doesn’t really matter to me.”
“But after meeting Mu Chengxi, he changed my thoughts. I even started to want a family with him…”
Zhuge Jingming looked at Wen Xin, and even though she didn’t spell it out, he understood what she was getting at. But he knew it was going to be a tough journey.
“Little Uncle-Master Master, rest assured, I will cooperate with you fully. Do you have any treatment plans? You know my medical skills are far inferior to yours, so I’m not sure how I can be of help.”
“You can assist with the acupuncture. Let’s combine it with traditional Chinese medicine and see how it goes after one course of treatment.”
Wen Xin planned to stay in the capital for a while. She had calculated that one month would be just enough for a course of treatment to see if there was any effect.
“Good. When do you want to start, Little Uncle-Master Master? Have you prepared the prescription? Should it be traditional Chinese herbal tea or made into pills?”
“Let’s make it into pills. I don’t want to tell Mu Chengxi about my health yet. I don’t want to add to his worries.”
Wen Xin handed over the prepared prescription and the acupuncture points chart to Zhuge Jingming. He was amazed at Wen Xin’s medical expertise upon reviewing her materials. If his Grandmaster were still alive, he would surely be astounded by her skill.
Only Wen Xin could have conceived such a treatment method.
“I’ll get my assistant to prepare the herbs and start making the medicine now.
We should have the pills ready by noon tomorrow. As for the acupuncture…”
“Acupuncture once every three days, around noon. I’ll come over every three days. You must rest well; any small mistake could mean I might never recover.”
Wen Xin looked at Zhuge Jingming with a serious face. She sought him out for this reason, treating this matter with utmost seriousness. She believed that probably only Zhuge Jingming could help her.
“Don’t worry, Little Uncle-Master. From now on, I will rest one day every three days and devote all my energy to your treatment. To me, you are more important. If I can heal you, when I meet the Grandmaster down below, I can proudly say to him and Master that I have not failed their expectations..”
