Chapter 1003: Ask Her to Treat the Illness
A cry of "Dad" startled Jiang Xue. She looked up at the old man and then at Principal Huang. Only then did she understand why she found the old man familiar in the morning.
It turned out the old man was Principal Huang’s father, and she had met Principal Huang once before.
Jiang Xue knew that Principal Huang was joking and smiled awkwardly.
Seeing her like this, Principal Huang spoke again, saying, "Jiang Xue, don’t be nervous; I really won’t eat you. The reason I called you here today is to thank you for saving my father. My father already told me what happened in the morning. Without you, he would have been in trouble."
"Principal, you’re exaggerating, it was just a small effort." Jiang Xue felt embarrassed once more. She hadn’t expected that her good intention would end up saving the principal’s father.
"You shouldn’t be modest. I accompanied my father to the hospital for a check-up at noon. The doctor said his health is not good, and if you hadn’t acted this morning, he would probably have been hospitalized by now," Principal Huang waved his hand. Previously, he only knew that Jiang Xue was good at studying and could score high marks on self-study exams.
Only today did he learn that she not only excelled in her studies but could also treat illnesses. The doctor mentioned that his father’s condition, if not handled properly, could be life-threatening.
One could say that if it weren’t for Jiang Xue today, his father might not have made it. So, he felt very grateful to Jiang Xue and wanted to repay her properly.
Moreover, his father’s illness wasn’t completely cured, and he wanted to ask Jiang Xue to help see if it could be treated fully.
Jiang Xue said nothing, feeling embarrassed to tell Principal Huang that it was actually her first time using silver needles to treat an illness.
Seeing Jiang Xue not speaking, the old man thought she was nervous, so he laughed and asked, "Jiang Xue, I heard that you used silver needles to save me this morning, right?"
"Yes!" Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Your condition was very urgent at the time, so I didn’t think much and directly used silver needles to give you emergency treatment."
"Jiang Xue, don’t be nervous. I’m asking this not for any other reason, but just because when I went to the hospital today, the doctor said this illness of mine hasn’t been fully eradicated and could recur."
Jiang Xue didn’t speak, but she agreed with his words. In the morning, she had only temporarily stabilized the condition, not cured it.
To completely cure it would require some time.
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at her. Seeing that she wasn’t speaking but her expression was very agreeable, he continued, "I don’t really like going to the hospital, and currently, the skills of hospital doctors are limited, so I have a presumptuous request."
At this point, the old man paused again and said seriously, "Jiang Xue, I want to ask you to help me treat the illness. What do you think?"
Jiang Xue was taken aback, staring blankly at the old man, a bit skeptical about whether she had heard right. Then she pointed to her own nose and asked, "Are you saying, you want to ask me to help treat you?"
"Yes, since you were able to save me today, then you should know what illness I have, right?" the old man, though asking Jiang Xue, used a tone of certainty.
He believed that since Jiang Xue was able to save him, she must know what illness he had and must also be able to cure him.
"Old man, do you really trust me this much?" Jiang Xue looked at the old man with some surprise. Where did he get his confidence from? If she told him that today was her first time attempting a treatment, she wondered if it would scare him.
"Of course!" the old man replied without hesitation, directly saying. He truly had great confidence in Jiang Xue.
However, Jiang Xue became hesitant. The other party was, after all, Principal Huang’s father, a person of high status. What if she couldn’t cure him, what would she do?
