Chapter 852: Sister Si, Are You Human or Monster? (1)
The attending physician said, "The patient might never be able to stand again and will need long-term bed rest and recuperation."
Father Su staggered, does this mean that Father has had a stroke and is half-paralyzed?
Father Su abruptly turned around, his eyes falling on Si Mingjing, mixing despair with a glimmer of hope as he asked, "Mingjing, do you have a better way to help your loving grandfather stand again?"
A stroke, half-paralysis, is mostly due to the disorder of qi and blood, blockage of brain vessels, or the overflowing of blood into the brain, characterized by sudden onset and rapid changes, much like the changing nature of wind evils. Not long ago, Madam Si was half-paralyzed, but she recovered after a few doses of medicine, and Si Mingjing was confident about this.
Other members of the Su Family, including Qin Yinan, Su Cheng, Su Yu, and Su Lie, all pinned their only hope on Si Mingjing, silently praying for her to say something to turn the situation around.
They had seen many elderly people who, once half-paralyzed and bedridden, wouldn’t last more than one or two years, so the Su Family was in anguish.
Su Cheng said, "Right, do you have a way? Sister Si, you’re so capable, surely you have a way, right?"
Si Mingjing stepped forward and asked the attending physician, "Can I go in to treat the patient?"
The doctor froze, where have family members ever been allowed to go in and treat patients themselves?
Su Cheng said, "This is Si Mingjing, hailed by the media as the light of traditional Chinese medicine; her medical skills are exceptional!"
The doctor snapped back to awareness, looking at Si Mingjing, saying, "So it’s Dr. Si. You can go in to treat the patient, but it’s best to have the family sign an agreement first, so the doctor won’t be held responsible for any subsequent consequences."
Nowadays, medical disputes are too frequent. To protect themselves and their medical staff, the doctor wanted the family to sign a waiver agreement, in case any issues arise from Si Mingjing’s treatment, and the family blames the hospital.
Si Mingjing looked at Father Su.
Father Su hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "I’m willing to sign the agreement. We’re voluntarily allowing Mingjing to go in and treat, and we will bear any consequences ourselves."
The doctor relaxed.
After Father Su signed the agreement, Si Mingjing entered the operating room and asked the other people inside to leave.
Only Su Cheng followed in. Seeing the elderly Mr. Su lying on the operating bed, he hurried over to grasp Mr. Su’s hand, calling out "Grandfather? Grandfather?"
The elder Mr. Su was sound asleep and did not awaken.
On Su Cheng’s anxious face, his eyebrows knitted tightly, "Sister Si, what now?"
Si Mingjing said two words, "Quiet!"
She stood on the other side of the operating bed, looking at the comatose elder Mr. Su, whose once-kind face was now pale, his elderly, lifeless body lying on the bed. Si Mingjing’s heart ached immensely, her eyes reddening.
Su Cheng closed his mouth, took a deep breath, and turned to secretly wipe his tears.
While checking Mr. Su’s pulse, Si Mingjing’s black pupils gradually turned into golden eyes, and her penetrating gaze scanned Mr. Su’s head and neck, indeed finding multiple areas of insufficient blood supply in the head, with many brain cells being cut off from oxygen and beginning to die. This situation required clearing the cerebral blood vessels.
Si Mingjing opened the medicine box she brought with her, first taking out Silver Needles to perform acupuncture on Mr. Su.
She infused the Silver Needles with the heat of the dragon, attempting to forcefully clear the blocked blood vessels through acupuncture.
She knew the intravenous fluids dripping into Mr. Su’s wrist served a similar purpose, but their effect wasn’t as fast or as good as the dragon-infused heat of the Silver Needles.
However, she exerted too much force, and the oblique Dragon Horns on her forehead suddenly appeared. She was focused on her acupuncture, unaware of it, while Su Cheng, standing beside her, was dumbfounded, rubbing his eyes vigorously in disbelief.
"You..."
Su Cheng rubbed his eyes several times, confirming that he wasn’t seeing things, then exclaimed, "Sister Si, you..."
Si Mingjing remained calm, focusing on the acupuncture, ignoring Su Cheng, and not noticing her own change.
She merely thought her eyes had turned golden-yellow, which shocked Su Cheng, and she even intended to use contact lenses as an excuse, until Su Cheng suddenly reached out and touched the oblique Dragon Horns on her forehead.
Si Mingjing abruptly raised her head, her gaze coldly fixed on Su Cheng.
Then she too reached up and touched her own Dragon Horns.
"Sister Si, are you human or monster?" Su Cheng was excessively shocked.
Sister Si’s forehead had two Coral Horns. Had he not confirmed that Sister Si entered the operating room without any similar adornments on her forehead, he would have suspected that Sister Si had just put them on.
He looked at Sister Si’s eyes again, as dazzling as brilliant diamonds, and they were golden diamonds!
Si Mingjing thought this was disastrous, but she couldn’t care to hide. Saving Mr. Su was most urgent at the moment!
Si Mingjing didn’t have time to silence him; after thinking, she said, "Call my husband in!"
"You’re already exposed, and you still want your husband to know?" Su Cheng naively asked, then added, "Sister Si, I will keep it a secret. This cannot be known by Mo Yinhe, what if he wants to divorce you?"
Si Mingjing was filled with annoyance, suppressing her voice to say four words, "Call him in!"
"Okay... okay."
Su Cheng, in a daze, walked out, opened the operating room door slightly, and peeked outside.
Seeing Mo Yinhe’s arrogant and noble stance, standing elegantly outside the operating room, Su Cheng blinked at Mo Yinhe and beckoned mysteriously with his fingers, "Mighty Mo, the boss, the boss..."
Mo Yinhe, seeing the sneakiness of Su Cheng, took great strides over.
Su Cheng widened the door gap and whispered, "Sister Si is calling you in."
Mo Yinhe nodded, moving inside.
Once Mo Yinhe entered, Su Cheng immediately closed the operating room door.
As Mo Yinhe walked in, he asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Su Cheng hesitated, afraid that the boss might consider his Sister Si as a monster. He quickly walked in front of Mo Yinhe and said, "Boss, you must stay calm, very calm. My Sister Si is the most worthy woman in the world to marry, even if she is..."
Before Su Cheng could finish, Mo Yinhe saw the two silvery-white, oblique Dragon Horns on Si Mingjing’s forehead, making her look inexplicably captivating. Was this the reason she called him in?
Mo Yinhe instantly understood Si Mingjing’s intentions. Mingjing asked him to come in to handle Su Cheng?
Mo Yinhe’s powerful aura of cold authority pressed down on Su Cheng from above.
Su Cheng shivered violently in fear, repeatedly stepping back, explaining, "Boss! Boss! Don’t look at me like that, I’m scared!"
Mo Yinhe stood with his hands behind his back, squinting his eyes, lazily asking, "Haven’t you heard the saying, ’The more you know, the sooner you die’?"
Su Cheng wasn’t a fool, silently cursing inwardly, he immediately said, "I didn’t see anything! I know nothing!"
