Chapter 196: You Need to Transfer Hospitals

"B-but..." Guo Wanrong hesitated.

"Your father and mother had a misunderstanding, and he blamed himself so much when your mother had her accident that he hasn't remarried in over twenty years," Chen Yu said. "Think about it, was it really easy for your mother to raise you all by herself?"

Guo Wanrong was stunned; she recalled her childhood, remembering many times when her mother would cry alone in secret.

It truly hadn't been easy for her mother to raise her alone all these years; she had forced a smile in front of her, but she had never known that her mother had shouldered so much.

"My mother isn't feeling well; she's hospitalized, otherwise I wouldn't be here busy at the shop for her," Guo Wanrong lowered her head.

"What's wrong with her?" Yan Roujin was startled.

"They say it's a cardiovascular disease; we have to wait for further tests," Guo Wanrong sighed and said.

"Take us there, I guarantee your mother will get better immediately," Chen Yu said.

"Well... alright." After a moment of hesitation, Guo Wanrong finally nodded, closed the shop door, and left with Chen Yu and the others.

In a hospital ward, a woman lay on a bed while several doctors held test results and conducted a consultation for her.

The woman was Guo Zhen, though her alias was now Guo Li. She had given birth to two daughters back then, but because she couldn't pay the rent, the landlord kicked them out; while wandering the streets, her eldest daughter unfortunately died.

Ever since then, she had harbored resentment, cut off all contact with Liu Chengye, and entrusted someone to tell him that she and her daughter had passed away, so he would give up all hope.

"Guo Zhen, our small hospital cannot treat your illness," one doctor said, holding the test results. "In our hospital, we can only use conventional treatment methods for your type of cerebral infarction, but your condition is already not optimistic."

"So our suggestion is for you to go to a large hospital, preferably a Grade A tertiary hospital in Fengling."

"Doctor, you aren't mistaken, are you? I was still busy at the shop just fine the day before yesterday; how could I be this serious?" Guo Li found it hard to believe.

"Look at your own right hand, can you not lift it now?" The doctor pointed to her hand and said, "Your condition is already under the intervention of our medication; if you hadn't come to the hospital in time, you would likely be paralyzed by now."

"This is impossible, my body has never had any problems, how could this happen?" Guo Li still didn't believe the facts.

"Believe it or not, this is the truth. Don't worry, medical insurance now has broad coverage, so even if you go to Fengling, it won't cost much. Your health is what matters, contact your family immediately to transfer hospitals," the doctor shook his head.

"But..." Guo Li stopped mid-sentence. Fengling—this was a place she never wanted to mention.

"Mom, how are you?" Suddenly, Guo Wanrong hurried in with Chen Yu and Yan Roujin.

"Rongrong, why are you here? I'm fine, it's just a minor illness, you don't need to worry. Didn't I tell you to go back? You still have to study for your postgraduate entrance exam, how can you be busy running around the shop like someone from the countryside?" Seeing her daughter, Guo Li pretended to be relaxed and smiled.

"I'm worried about you, Mom. Doctor, how is my mother's condition?" Guo Wanrong looked up.

"I was just about to tell you. Your mother's cerebral infarction is progressing very quickly; now one hand is already stiff and numb. Our suggestion is to transfer hospitals as soon as possible to avoid further deterioration of her condition," the doctor said.

"Mom, how are you this serious? Let's go, we'll transfer hospitals immediately," Guo Wanrong was shocked.

"Alright, I'm fine, I'm really fine." Guo Li saw Chen Yu and Yan Roujin: "Who are these two?"

"Auntie, we are Wanrong's friends. We heard you were ill, and this friend of mine knows Medicine, so he came specifically to take a look at you," Yan Roujin said quickly.

Her health was poor now; if they brought up the past, it might stimulate her, and she might not necessarily accept it, so they used a stalling tactic first.

"Right, Auntie, let me take a look for you," Chen Yu stepped forward and pretended to place his fingers on her wrist.

In truth, Chen Yu had seen her condition the moment he walked in, but if he didn't take her pulse and put on a show, he would definitely be accused of showing off.

After taking her pulse for a moment, Chen Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, your problem isn't serious. I'll give you a few needles in a moment and you'll be fine."

"Really? Just a few needles and I'll be fine? I don't need to be hospitalized or transfer hospitals?" Guo Li was delighted.

"Don't worry, it won't delay your business; you'll be able to go back and continue running the shop in a little while," Chen Yu said as he took out the Silver Needle and prepared to perform Acupuncture.

"Where did you come from? This is a hospital, not a place for someone like you, a wandering quack, to mess around." The doctor on the side had already found Chen Yu unpleasant, and seeing him take out the Silver Needle and actually prepare to perform Acupuncture, he couldn't help but become even angrier.

"What's the matter?" Chen Yu glanced at the doctor.

"These are the test results, and this patient's illness was personally seen by an expert from the provincial hospital today; the suggestion given was to transfer hospitals. You just take a pulse, don't even ask about the test results, and you're going to perform Acupuncture on the patient?" the doctor said angrily.

It was already annoying enough that Chen Yu was overstepping his bounds by treating someone on his turf, and now he was pretending that the patient's illness was nothing?

"There's no need to look at the test results," Chen Yu said calmly. "I really don't intend to step on your toes, but this patient is my friend's mother, so I must act."

"Heh, no need to look? Then tell me, what illness does she have?" The doctor sneered and said, "I've encountered this kind of 'Divine Doctor' for the first time—someone who can know what illness a patient has without looking at the test results."

"Fengtan Zuluo Syndrome. Treatment benefits from dispelling wind, removing phlegm, and clearing the meridians. In fact, this is entirely a sequela of a cerebral infarction. In the eyes of you Western Medicine practitioners, it's quite serious, but in our eyes, it really isn't an issue," Chen Yu said calmly.

"Heh, where did this 'Divine Doctor' come from? Even if this condition went to a Grade A tertiary hospital in Fengling, the doctors wouldn't dare say it isn't serious, yet here it's become child's play."

"You say it isn't serious? Fine, then you treat the patient. If you can cure her, I'll take off this uniform and never practice Medicine again," the doctor said angrily.

Although this doctor was at a small local hospital, he actually had some skill and was quite capable of treating strokes and cerebral infarctions; naturally, he didn't believe Chen Yu could cure the patient instantly.

"That really isn't a problem," Chen Yu smiled. He took out the needles and began to perform Acupuncture on Guo Li.

After more than ten needles were inserted, Guo Li felt a warmth in her body, and her stiff right hand could already move slowly.

"How is this possible? How can your hand move? Wasn't it just..." The doctor was already somewhat bewildered.
