Chapter 490 -490, Appeasement (2nd update)

Only then did she get a clear look at Xie Zhinuan’s face.

She was truly beautiful.

What struck her most was the gentleness and pure goodness in her eyes and brows, a beauty she had never seen before despite being accustomed to the faces of martial world heroes since childhood.

This kind of beauty and warmth inevitably made one want to draw closer, to possess it.

“Xie Zhinuan, Sister Zhao can call me Zhinuan!” Xie Zhinuan spoke up.

She patted Zhao Xiuya’s hand, “Go wash up. Our sizes seem similar, I’ll have Aunt Chen bring a set of my clothes for you to change into, and we can buy more when we reach the town ahead!”

...

“Alright!”

Zhao Xiuya obediently followed her instructions.

And went with Qin Yu to wash up.

Xie Zhinuan called Dugu Zhen over to sit down and took turns checking the pulse of the children.

Xie Zhinuan let Dugu Zhen check the pulse first, and when it was her turn, she undressed the child, examined his whole body before she said, “Judging by his age, he should be just over three years old, under five. During the time in the womb, the hesitation of his mother’s poisoning left a latent disease, and he was born prematurely. He was fed too much medicine as a child, which caused lingering illness. These years, he has seen many doctors, but the doctors were all different, and the medicines prescribed varied, which led to the transformation of toxins in his body. It has already permeated his internal organs, which have started to degenerate!”

Having finished, Xie Zhinuan took a deep breath, “That’s as much as I can tell!”

Dugu Zhen raised an eyebrow, “So, you think you haven’t found enough?”

When he was in his teens, his hands would shake taking a pulse, let alone detecting so many symptoms.

Xie Zhinuan hadn’t been studying medicine for long, and if she said these things out loud, those medical students would beat her up.

“Is it all correct?” Xie Zhinuan asked.

She had indeed not been studying medicine for very long, and neither had she practiced martial arts for long. Such results were all thanks to Spiritual Spring. As for herself, Xie Zhinuan felt that although she was diligent, she was far from those who studied with extreme dedication.

She was acutely aware of this.

“Mhm, it’s all correct. If you were to prescribe medicine, how would you do it?” Dugu Zhen asked.

“…” Xie Zhinuan thought it over and said earnestly, “Actually, prescribing or not prescribing medicine is both futile. If I were just an ordinary doctor, I would prescribe something to ease the pain, to let him live the rest of his days happily and with less suffering!”

She dressed the child gently and quietly, softly massaging the palm of his hand.

The child’s body, like his mother’s, was ice cold and bone-chilling, not like a living person but rather like a cold block of ice.

With such gentle rubbing, the child gradually opened his eyes.

He looked at the person in front of him; he couldn’t really see clearly, everything was so blurry. But he knew that this wasn’t his mother, for his mother would cry, cry with restrained grief and sorrow.

But the aunt in front of him wasn’t crying. She had a scent that was very pleasant, and sniffing it, his whole body felt less painful and his hands began to warm up.

He quietly moved closer to the aunt.

Xie Zhinuan then felt the child wake up, feeling both surprised and amazed.

To think that a child of this age, who had been sick for years, would be so sensitive and yet lean towards her, Xie Zhinuan was quite astonished.

“Are you awake?” she asked softly and then inquired, “Does it hurt anywhere?”

“…”

Qin Mao pursed his lips.

It hurt a lot, but he dared not say anything, fearing that speaking would make his mother even more sad.

He shook his head lightly.

Not wanting to speak; his throat was in severe pain.

Seeing this, Xie Zhinuan’s heart softened inexplicably, and she coaxed him softly, “Even if it hurts, it doesn’t matter. I know how to treat it, I’ll surely be able to cure you. We also have a little brother at home. You’ll be able to meet him tomorrow!”
