In the end, after thinking for a while, the husband of the woman agreed to let Xie Ming treat his wife because of the offer that Mr. Lu made. His financial condition is indeed in a dire state and if Xie Ming takes over his wife's case, the treatment will be free of cost.
Also, Xie Ming has promised to cure his wife in the span of three months. What can he ask for? In the end, he agreed.
Old Lu and Grandfather Su stayed in the room and was watching the way Xie Ming was telling the man and the woman about her condition.
" Mrs. Xai even though your condition is difficult but it can be treated without operation as long as you follow what I say."
" From now on, you will take the medicines that I prescribe you and these medicines should be taken on time. Let me warn you, the medicines will be bitter and might make you feel nauseating, but you will get better after a while."
" Also, you have to follow the diet that I will recommend to you. From now on, you will eat only veggies and follow a vegetarian diet. No oily food, heavy food, and no meat for three months. Also, along with my medicine and acupuncture, you need to take a walk in the morning and evening for at least 10 minutes and have to do a light exercise whenever it's possible."
" Are you determined to do all this? If you can follow this well, then I can promise you, you will be fine after three months. You wouldn't even need to take medicines after that. Now you decide, can you do everything that I just told you?"
The woman pursed her lips and glanced at her husband. They both were a little surprised at the way she explained everything in detail. She even explained the effect of a diet that she consumes and how it affects her body. Her explanation was more simple and detailed than any doctor has told her before.
" Yes. We will follow everything. If you can cure her, then we promise that we will follow everything without any fail." The husband of the woman said urgently when he heard her words.
Xie Ming smiled and asked the ward boy to shift the woman to the acupuncture room. She decided to give her the first session of acupuncture today. There will be two sessions of the acupuncture in a week and out of two, one will be given today.
….
" Relax your body. Close your eyes and focus all your energy on your hands. " She asked the woman to lay on the bed on her face and started placing the acupuncture needles on her back one by one.
The woman cried out in pain as Xie Ming put the sharp needles in her body. However, after a few moments, the pain started to disappear and she started to feel better and relaxed.
Everyone including Old Lu and Grandfather Su were waiting outside the room as they were curious to see the results after the first acupuncture session.
After half an hour, the door of the room opened and Xie Ming came out of the room. She was smiling as she faced everyone.
" How..how is my wife? Is she fine?" The man asked worriedly while trying to peek inside the room. He knows that acupuncture needles are very sharp and were worried if Xie Ming could do that right or not.
Xie Ming nodded and said, "Yes. She is fine. She is changing right now, after that she will be shifted to her ward. You can meet her then."
…
When the woman was transferred to her ward, Xie Ming and went to the ward including the husband of the woman.
Xie Ming does not want to go but since Old Lu wanted to check the results of the acupuncture, she had no choice but to follow behind them. However, Old Lu asked her to stay outside as he wanted to check with the woman and she might not be able to complain if she is present there.
Old Lu has given a private room to the woman as it was the hospital who is bearing all the costs and it's better this way so that other patients won't get bothered by this commotion.
" Please check her vitals and show me the report of it with the previous one as well." Old Lu asked a nurse to check all the vitals of the woman and asked for the previous report as well to compare the two.
" Mrs. Xai, how are you feeling now? Even though it's just one session and won't cure you magically but I just wanted to know how you're feeling, or do you have any discomfort after the session?" Old Lu asked the woman who was sitting on the bed while the nurse was checking her blood pressure.
He wanted to know what she thinks about Xie Ming's session.
The woman glanced at her husband before answering to Mr. Lu, " Mr. Lu, at first I was not expecting anything from Ms. Xie. Since she is so young I was afraid that she might not be able to do acupuncture properly because I heard that it takes years of experience to polish this skill."
She paused as she looked at her husband and gave him an assured smile before saying, " However, I was shocked when she put the needle at first on my body. I felt the pain in the start but it was only when she put the first needle after that it felt so refreshing and better. Also, it was not actually even pain, it's like bitten by an ant."
" Even though we had only one session yet, I feel much better than before and the coughing has seemed to be deduced a lot. I am glad that I agreed to your request and agreed to get treated by her. Seems like, I can finally get better and that too without much pain. You know, I just can't bear to get into the operation room, I might die from fear rather than the disease itself." she said while laughing at her words.
Her husband was surprised as well hearing her words. It's been days since he has seen her laughing like this. For months she has been staying at different hospitals and she has lost so much of her weight and turned pale and weak.
Though her words were a little dark, he can see that she is actually happy. She has a great scare of operation since her father and elder sister had also died because they got operations for their treatment. Though it's not the case with everyone, however, since she is quite superstitious, she kept saying that she will die if she gets an operation.
However, right now she looked better than before and her face color has returned a bit as well. Since she does not need to get an operation, she is pleased because of that reason. At first, he was not sure about getting the oriental treatment for her disease but now he felt that Chinese medicine suits her wife more than the western one.
Also, his wife kept praising Xie Ming's acupuncture skills as well.
….
" Director Lu, this is the report that you have asked for." The nurse passed both reports to Old Lu after checking all the vitals of the woman.
Old Lu nodded and took the reports in his hands, however, his eyes widened when he saw the report, " This…
