Chapter 268 : Escape To The Human Realm (5)
Medic Hong was a seasoned physician who had recently relocated to Rainbell Town. He had initially planned to stay only for a few months, as he enjoyed wandering from town to town to broaden his horizons and knowledge.
However, Medic Hong soon found himself drawn to the eerie cases that seemed to be prevalent in Rainbell Town. He had never seen anything like them before. There were patients who complained of hearing voices in their heads, seeing visions of the dead, and even being possessed by spirits.
Although most of these eerie cases required the help of local priests or exorcists, Medic Hong was still able to observe them practice their expertise and thus learned a great deal from them.
When Madam Chen* from Orchid Alley’s famous restaurant "Lucky Pearl" sought his help to cure a young man who suffered from nausea and stomachache, Medic Hong was not quite excited. Nevertheless, as a dedicated physician with moral integrity, he felt compelled to help said young man.
Madam Chen wrung her hands anxiously as she explained the situation. "Medic Hong, it’s like this," she said. "Our Young Master is probably stuck in a difficult predicament. He requires utmost discretion."
Medic Hong nodded in agreement.
"Madam Chen, I am neither a nosy nor a gossipy person. I shall keep my mouth shut about this young man, whatever his diagnosis turns out to be."
"Good, good..."
The young man was lying on a bed. He dressed like one of Rainbell Town’s residents, but Medic Hong had never seen him even once. If he had, he would remember the young man’s exquisite face for sure.
Madam Chen closed the door behind her and waited outside the room to grant Xie Jianyu some privacy.
Next to her, Mingyu was fidgeting with a handkerchief nervously.
