Chapter 976 — Miracle Doctor Brother
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Mother, you fainted a moment ago. Thanks to this miracle doctor brother for coming to your rescue..." Chen Xi looked at Wei Zhao as she spoke to her mother. But when her gaze fell upon Wei Zhao, her cheeks reddened slightly once more...
"So I fainted, did I..." Chen's mother was taken aback, then hurriedly thanked Wei Zhao: "Thank you, I truly thank you so much. I never expected to trouble you yet again..."
"It was nothing." Wei Zhao shook his head and put away the silver needles. "I have only temporarily stabilized the cancer cells in your body—that is not to say you are cured. Where is your home? Let us talk on the way..."
There were still outsiders in the noodle shop, and Wei Zhao had no wish for word to spread that he could cure cancer. If it did, he feared he would never get anything done again—everyone would come looking for him to treat their illnesses. However formidable Wei Zhao was, he was still only one man, and he treated patients by means of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Commanding Art; the method could not be replicated or popularized.
Wei Zhao did not wish to overturn the present state of medicine, for one man alone was powerless to do so.
Before Chen's mother could speak, the quick-witted Chen Xi had already guessed Wei Zhao's intentions. The first was secrecy; and as for the second—was he going to their home to learn the way? Was he afraid that once he had cured her mother, she would not give herself to him?
"Miracle doctor brother, please come with me!" Chen Xi nodded, helped her mother to her feet, and made for the door without allowing any objection.
Chen's mother wanted to tell her daughter not to give their home address to strangers so casually, but then she reflected: so many years had passed since that affair—that woman could hardly have found her way here by such a coincidence, still less could she have come to know Wei Zhao. And so she said nothing.
Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao followed them out of the noodle shop. Watching from behind, the waiter shook his head. He thought Wei Zhao could hardly wait to go claim Chen Xi's body and complete this transaction.
"Miracle doctor brother, my home is this way..." Once outside the door, Chen Xi made a gesture toward the right.
"Get in the car. We drove here." Wei Zhao pointed at Feng Xiaoxiao's Audi TT. Though it was a sports car, it had rear seating like the Beetle; it was a bit awkward to sit in, but there was no problem riding back there for a short while.
Seeing that they were to get into the car, Chen's mother clearly hesitated. She did not know who Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao were, and although Wei Zhao had revived her, she still felt an instinctive wariness of strangers.
Chen Xi, however, suspected nothing and nodded at once, taking her mother by the hand to board the car. She had witnessed a miracle with her own eyes; Wei Zhao had awakened her mother with his consummate medical skill, so her trust in him was unreserved.
Seeing her daughter persist, and with the two young people before her having helped their family twice already, Chen's mother truly could not bring herself to say anything in front of them. After a moment's hesitation, she followed Chen Xi into the car.
She thought that in broad daylight, Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao could hardly harbor any malicious intent.
