As soon as Su Han finished speaking, Dong Lin’s face turned even redder.
He looked somewhat panicked and embarrassed as he repeatedly said to Old Master Dong, “Dad, I didn’t tell him.”
Old Master Dong took a deep breath and looked earnestly at Su Han.
He certainly knew that his son would never disclose such a humiliating secret to anyone.
The matter was only known within their family.
If Dong Lin hadn’t spoken of it, then the only explanation was…
had Su Han discerned it himself?
Old Master Dong knew of Su Han’s exquisite medical skills.
That day, Su Han had merely glanced at him and had detected the problem with his health, consequently saving his life.
Now, he must have also spotted the issue with Dong Lin’s health, right?
At this thought, Old Master Dong’s lips began to quiver as he grabbed Su Han’s hand, his voice trembling, “Mr.
Su!
Can you see what’s wrong with Xiaolin’s hidden ailment?
You can cure it, surely?”
Hope filled his eyes, and he feared even more that Su Han would shake his head and apologize.
Even Dong Lin was staring intently at Su Han, not daring to move an inch.
The looks in the father and son’s eyes seemed as though they were terrified of hearing the words they dreaded.
Over these years, the Dong Family had often lamented over this issue.
Even Dong Lin’s mother had become so depressed over it that it eventually led to her departure, and now it was Old Master Dong’s turn.
“I need to determine the cause before I can prescribe the appropriate treatment,” Su Han paused, then said with a smile, “As long as it’s not organ damage, there’s a chance.”
Upon hearing Su Han’s words, both the father and son’s eyes reddened.
Dong Lin was overcome with emotion, his breathing became rapid.
Even though Su Han had not guaranteed a cure, but simply mentioned there was a chance, it was the best news he had heard in decades!
Old Master Dong, in his agitation, stood up abruptly, not caring that his body had only just recovered.
He bowed deeply to Su Han, almost to the point of kneeling, “Mr.
Su!
I beg you…”
Su Han also quickly stood up, helping Old Master Dong, saying, “Old Master, what are you doing?”
“I…” Old Master Dong’s eyes were red.
The thing he most hoped for in his life was to resolve this issue.
Now that hope was in front of him, how could he not be excited.
“Since I’ve said that it can be cured, naturally I will find a way,” Su Han smiled and said, “Moreover, as a doctor, my very existence is to relieve patients of their suffering.”
Both Old Master Dong and his son were so moved they were at a loss for words.
After a while, Old Master Dong came to his senses and slapped Dong Lin, who was still in a daze, urging him, “Hurry and let Mr.
Su have a look at you!”
Once the cause is confirmed, they could prescribe the right medicine!
Over the years, they had spared no effort in trying to treat the illness, but to no avail.
Dong Lin’s hidden ailment prevented him from having descendants, and even at his age, though married in name, he had no marital life in reality.
This matter could not be spoken of; it had to be buried in the heart, causing endless suffering.
Whenever he saw other families with their children and grandchildren, Old Master Dong’s heart would ache even more, leading him to develop depression that nearly cost him his life.
Now that Su Han said it could be cured, it was like bringing a ray of hope to the old Dong Family!
Su Han seriously determined the cause of Dong Lin’s illness and, after pondering for a moment, finally nodded, “It can be cured.”
The two simple words finally dislodged the weight from Old Master Dong’s heart.
If the Divine Doctor Su Han said it could be cured, then it surely could be cured!
Master Dong seemed to have opened up his heart all at once, and his eyes began to sparkle with vitality.
Dong Lin’s hidden illness could be cured, which meant that he, too, could look forward to holding his grandson.
This concern had weighed on his mind for many years, and now that it could finally be resolved, how could he not be overjoyed?
At this moment, his gaze toward Su Han had completely changed.
As grateful as he was for Su Han saving his own life, curing Dong Lin’s hidden illness made him even more grateful.
“Mr.
Su, for the generous kindness you’ve shown my Dong Family, I have no way to repay you!” Master Dong said earnestly, “My Dong Family has some influence in Tianhai City.
If there is ever anything that you need from my Dong Family, just say the word, and we will definitely repay your kindness.”
In ordinary days, he least liked it when people came to him with talk of favors and relationships, but today, he had to offer and promise this favor.
Su Han had helped the Dong Family immensely, and how could this gratitude be compared to a mere favor?
Master Dong actually wanted to give Su Han a gift as a token of his gratitude, but for someone of Su Han’s caliber, a “Divine Doctor,” any material gift seemed vulgar.
Su Han smiled and said, “Old Master, as I said, having met once, we can now be considered friends.
How could I ignore the troubles of a friend?”
Dong Lin, sitting at the side, was like a child, his face turning red and nodding his head.
Thinking about his hidden illness being cured filled his mind with complex emotions.
A hidden illness that had tormented him for decades could now be cured.
Who could truly understand the feeling of long drought meeting sweet rain?
Su Han had first saved Master Dong’s life and now could help solve Dong Lin’s hidden illness.
To the older Dong, this was an enormous favor, substantial enough that even if it meant bending the rules to help Su Han with some matter, Master Dong would accept it.
However, Su Han was not the kind of person to do that.
Su Han took out a prescription, then grabbed a pen and altered some of the herbs before handing it to Master Dong, saying, “This is your prescription, Old Master.
You can purchase the medicine yourselves.
It’s mainly used to regulate the internal organs and rejuvenate vitality.
Now that your heart trouble is relieved, the rest should no longer pose a problem.”
He paused, then continued writing another prescription, and handed it to Dong Lin, “This is for District Chief Dong.
I’ll need to procure the medicinal herbs myself.
Your illness has persisted for many years; curing it will take some time, so you need to be prepared and keep your confidence up.
After you’ve finished your medication, I’ll use the Silver Needle to transfer Qi and help you clear your meridians.
At that time, your hidden illness will be expelled, and you’ll be able to regain your vigor, perhaps even more potent than the average person!”
Dong Lin’s face flushed with color, no longer caring about any potential embarrassment, he repeatedly asked, “Is it really possible to recover?”
“If Mr.
Su says it’s possible, then it is!” Master Dong slapped Dong Lin’s head and burst out laughing.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed, as if the oppressive, gloomy clouds that had hung over the house for so many years were finally dispersed with Su Han’s arrival today.
After chatting for a while, they learned that Su Han had just started an internship at Qiao Hospital.
Master Dong’s eyes widened with shock, and his curiosity about Su Han’s background deepened.
But he also knew that such remarkable people preferred tranquility and didn’t like being questioned too much, so naturally, he wouldn’t do anything to displease Su Han.
After a while, Su Han stood up to take his leave, agreeing on a time to come back for their next treatment.
The father and son were endlessly grateful, personally escorting Su Han to the door.
After seeing off Su Han, the two men stood there, their eyes brimming with excitement.
The hidden illness that had plagued them for so many years could finally be cured!
“Dad!” Dong Lin’s lips quivered, his voice choked with emotion, “All these years, it’s my fault.”
Master Dong shook his head, gazing at Su Han’s retreating figure, and said, “Let’s not talk about the past anymore.
As long as Mr.
Su can help you get better, don’t forget this favor.
It’s important to maintain a good relationship with someone like Mr.
Su, and you absolutely must not offend him.
Do you understand?”
