Coming to our Western hospital to ask for this, isn’t that a bit unreasonable?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the sake of Lu Hualiang, he would have outright accused Xia Weibao of causing trouble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t understand how a man of Lu Hualiang’s status could marry a woman with such a tarnished reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao, utterly without the strength to argue, just said, “Find me a Chinese doctor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, your back has suffered severe burns and requires a skin graft. Do you really expect a Chinese medicine practitioner to perform a skin transplant?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director, as a Chinese person, how can you only advocate Western medicine? Have you forgotten what our ancestors left for us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Minhai’s nostrils flared, evidently infuriated by Xia Weibao, “Chinese medicine is outdated, and those deceivers still have followers. They’ll end up killing you sooner or later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Minhai was an authority in the Huaxia medical community; many people tried to curry favor with him and never had he been insulted like this, which made his temper flare up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But remembering Xia Weibao’s status and the saying, ‘respect the monk you meet for the sake of the Buddha,’ he still tried to persuade earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, the most Chinese medicine can do for you is apply some ointment; your back skin is necrotic.

Since Madam is so obstinate, I won’t say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But let me be frank, you chose Chinese medicine yourself. If any mishap occurs, our hospital is not to be blamed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Xiang Minhai stormed out with a flick of his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the nurse setting up the blood transfusion, Xiang Minhai sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since Madam has such faith in Chinese medicine, then there’s no need for a blood transfusion, right?
