Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Painkillers

Xie Jiang didn't dare to hesitate even a bit, clutching the prescription as he rushed out of the ward.

The young man suddenly saw hope and grabbed Chen Yu's hand, kneeling down with a thud.

"Boss Chen, thank you so much! Otherwise, I wouldn't have known what to do."

Chen Yu patted the young man's shoulder, "It's okay, just make sure you don't go to the lottery shop anymore, no matter what happens. That stuff's not reliable!"

The young man nodded repeatedly, his face full of regret.

"Uncle, you're here too!"

A milky voice suddenly came from the side.

Chen Yu turned his head and saw it was the little girl he had encountered in the pharmacy before.

"Little sister, you're here too!"

The little girl nodded, then took out five yuan and handed it over.

"My mom is over there, she asked me to give this money back to you!" As she said this, the little girl inexplicably lowered her head.

"Mom said we don't have money now and can't repay you, so we can only give you five yuan for now. We will definitely repay you double in the future."

The sensible and cute little girl would be liked by anyone who saw her; even Tong Ya couldn't help but move forward and rub the little girl's head.

"It's okay, it's only five yuan! And, Uncle here happens to be a doctor, maybe he can cure your mom's illness."

The little girl immediately became excited and quickly grabbed Chen Yu's hand.

"Then please, Uncle, save my mom. She can't sleep at night and it's really painful!"

Chen Yu followed the direction the little girl pointed and saw a skeletal woman lying in the corner.

She was riddled with tubes and her body was covered in bruises.

These were clearly the symptoms of advanced leukemia; at this stage, the patient was living a life worse than death.

You either rely on some exorbitantly priced medicine to maintain your condition, or you have to take painkillers every day to make it bearable.

The little girl, when she was buying medicine earlier, had only bought some simple pain relief meds.

Chen Yu frowned, rushed over quickly, and grabbed the woman's wrist.

[The body has deteriorated to the extreme, with over seventy percent of cells necrotic, beyond the healing capacity of current human medical knowledge]

Chen Yu had likewise gathered a general idea of the condition from the woman's pulse.

Although the woman still had some consciousness, her life definitely wouldn't last more than twenty-four hours.

"Uncle, is there any hope for my mom?"

The milky voice made Chen Yu's heart tremble.

The woman also slowly opened her eyes and beckoned the little girl with her hand.

"Huan Huan, you shouldn't speak to the Uncle like that. Besides, Mommy's fine, don't worry, okay?"

Huan Huan suddenly burst into tears, "How could Mommy be fine? You're in so much pain every night you can't sleep! And the medicine you asked me to buy is just painkillers, not for curing the disease!"

The woman's tears flowed uncontrollably, as she hadn't expected her daughter to know everything.

"Ling Ling, is there really no way?" Chen Yu silently asked himself. Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[According to current human medical knowledge, it's incurable. However, the system can clean her body of the disease to the greatest extent possible, then with medication, she might be able to recover]

"Then let's start!" Chen Yu urged in his mind.

[System suggestion: This treatment method is deemed futile, with only a 30% chance of recovery, and it requires 100 points to proceed]

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, fully aware of the woman's physical condition, which indeed had reached its limit.

And now, accumulating points was too difficult; a hundred points would take a long time to collect.

Chen Yu clenched his teeth, the woman before him might be the only family Huan Huan had. If anything were to happen, leaving a young girl all alone in the world, how could she cope?

"No matter what, let's give it a try!"

After instructing Ling Ling, Chen Yu wrote out a prescription.

"Ya Ya, help me get these medicines!"

Tong Ya nodded and hurried out of the ward with the prescription.

Chen Yu then took out a few needles and slowly inserted them into the woman's body, afterward, he started to clear the pathological changes within her body in coordination with the system.

Before long, the bruises on the woman's body dissipated at a visible rate, and her vitality was restored.

A look of relief appeared on Chen Yu's face, as the woman's health was indeed improving.

However, this method could only clear most of the pathological changes in the woman's body, which was, to some extent, like undergoing chemotherapy.

But the effect was a hundred times better than chemotherapy!

Nevertheless, neither this method nor chemotherapy could clear all the pathological changes in one go. To do so would mean killing most of the healthy cells in the patient's body.

To ensure the patient's vital signs, only part of the pathological changes could be left inside the body.

Afterward, a substantial amount of drug treatment was needed to reverse the condition.

But no one could guarantee that the remaining pathological changes wouldn't flare up again.

If they couldn't be reversed, the pathological cells would spread throughout the body anew.

Chen Yu then made a show of twisting the acupuncture needles in his hand before pulling them out.

"Wow, Dad, you just inserted a few needles, and this auntie's complexion has gotten so much better!"

Tuan Tuan clapped her little hands in admiration, and even Huan Huan excitedly grabbed the woman's hand.

The woman moved her limbs slightly and slowly sat up.

Her condition had indeed improved a lot, and she seemed to have been reborn.

The woman felt her body and then suddenly jumped out of bed, kneeling down before Chen Yu with a thud.

"Miraculous doctor, truly a miraculous doctor! All the doctors here said I wouldn't live long, but I never expected you to be able to cure me."

Chen Yu was taken aback and hurriedly helped the woman to her feet.

"Just now, I only cleared most of the pathological changes in your body. As for what comes next, I can't guarantee there won't be another outbreak! After all, this kind of disease..."

The woman nodded, "I understand, but just being able to live a little longer, I'm satisfied, at least I can raise Huan Huan."

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, after all, he wasn't a god and was at a loss in the face of such a situation.

Right then, Xie Jiang and the young man hurried back, carrying a large bag of sealed herbal concoctions.

Before leaving, Chen Yu had instructed them on the method of preparation, and practically every traditional medicine shop has a professional pressure cooker for decoction.

As long as instructions were given, they could prepare it on the spot.

Chen Yu took the herbal concoction and went to the parents of the young man, applying a portion of it to the surface of their skin.

The remaining portion was then fed to the two of them.
