Chapter 133: Treating Illness (3)_1
"Mm, go out now. I need to rest some more." Old Deng, already frail, has apparently suffered from great exhaustion after Situ Xin’s series of treatments. He truly is tired now.
"Okay." Situ Xin tiptoed out of the room, gently closing the door behind her as she left.
As soon as the door closed, Old Lady Deng eagerly grabbed Situ Xin’s hand and asked, "Xiao Xin, how is it? How is your Grandpa Deng?" Behind Old Lady Deng, there were several men and women whom Situ Xin had not met before, but she could tell by their faces that they must be Old Deng’s sons and daughters.
"Grandma Deng, rest assured. Grandpa Deng is fine. He’s just too tired and has fallen asleep," said Situ Xin, pausing before adding, "The treatment was very successful, but it will take ten more treatments for Grandpa Deng’s illness to be fully cured." After Situ Xin finished speaking, the middle-aged men and women behind Old Lady Deng all showed skeptical expressions on their faces.
They were not doubtful of Situ Xin’s motives, but rather they found it hard to believe that the disease, deemed incurable by many experts, could be so easily treated by this young girl.
Situ Xin noticed the skepticism on their faces but pretended not to see it, saying, "Oh, by the way, you can have a doctor check up on Grandpa Deng the day after tomorrow to know the specifics." After speaking, she approached Old Master Situ and said, "Grandpa, Old Master, Grandpa Xiao, let’s go. Grandpa Deng needs to rest. We can come to visit him again in a few days."
Having administered treatment to Old Deng, Situ Xin felt there was no need to stay any longer, and besides, she did not like the way Old Deng’s children looked at her.
As soon as Situ Xin and the three elders sat in the car, Old Master Loo spoke up. "Baby, can you really cure Old Deng’s disease?" He had been very anxious.
"Yeah, Xiao Xin, is it really true that only ten more treatments are needed to cure Old Deng’s disease?" asked Old Master Xiao, his face full of concern.
"Oh, Grandpa, Grandpa Xiao, and Old Master, I promise you, I will definitely cure Grandpa Deng’s disease," Situ Xin said somewhat helplessly. Was she not credible? Treating diseases was a matter of life and death, and she would never joke about someone’s life. "There, grandpas, no frowns, okay? If you’re worried, just wait for Old Deng’s medical report tomorrow." Situ Xin knew that Old Deng’s children would surely have him checked the next day, and even if they didn’t say so, Old Deng’s primary doctor would suggest it.
