Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Bedsheet Known by Hundreds After One Tumble!
Qi Yue arrived at the clinic and was preparing for consultations when she suddenly heard a series of astonished voices outside the door.
“Who is this? Is he here to see the Divine Doctor?”
“This man is too handsome, isn’t he?”
“It’s not just his looks, his demeanor suggests he is a significant figure!”
“Exactly, it’s truly intimidating!”
“…”
An uneasy premonition suddenly rose in Qi Yue’s heart, and she hurriedly turned around, only to indeed see Zhao Xiyan walking in with a food box.
Boom…
Her heart felt as if it had been heavily struck, unable to tell if it was panic or joy.
What on earth does this man want!
Even if his possessiveness took over after the divorce, wasn’t this a bit too much?
If people found out about their relationship, how could she continue here?
He could just walk away and marry a beautiful young woman.
But what about her? Wouldn’t she become a laughingstock?
While she was thinking, Zhao Xiyan had already approached her.
“Yueyue, eat something first.”
Without allowing her to argue, he grabbed her hand and pulled her to the back hall.
The anger inside Qi Yue surged!
If there weren’t so many people around, she really wanted to slap him.
Ask him what on earth he wants!
“Yueyue, I’ve been waiting for you in the dining room for a long time, why did you just run off to the pharmacy?”
Zhao Xiyan spoke and began serving up several dishes.
Qi Yue was thinking about excusing herself when suddenly, a handsome face appeared in front of her.
Zhao Xiyan leaned in close, his eyes bright as stars, fixing her with a determined look.
“Are you avoiding me? Don’t want to see me?”
Qi Yue immediately panicked, her eyes as wide as saucers.
“I’m not! Why would I avoid you? I just didn’t want to delay the consultations…”
Zhao Xiyan chuckled, looking quite pleased.
“Alright, of course I know what Yueyue is thinking.” As he spoke, he squeezed her hand and placed a pair of chopsticks in it, urging her, “Eat quickly.”
You know nothing! Qi Yue thought angrily.
If it were anyone else, she would definitely have kicked him out and told him not to come back.
But this was Zhao Xiyan.
Even though she cursed in her heart and swore never to see him again, to stay away from him, her body uncontrollably indulged in his gaze and his words, half teasing, half doting.
She ate a few bites haphazardly like chewing wax, then dropped them and stood to leave.
But Zhao Xiyan stopped her as she got up.
“Yueyue, do you have a poor appetite? Let Master check you and help you recover.”
“No no no, my appetite is fine,” Qi Yue quickly waved her hands, “I just really don’t want to eat right now.”
“Okay, what would you like for lunch?”
“Anything, I’m not picky.”
Qi Yue felt extremely embarrassed.
Because Zhao Xiyan’s eyes were becoming somewhat frightening.
He even moved closer to her and touched her hair.
She wanted to step back but remembered his words about her avoiding him, so she froze in place, bravely keeping her eyes fixated on Zhao Xiyan.
“What do you want to do?”
Zhao Xiyan twirled his fingers, his lips curling into a smile.
“Nothing really, Yueyue’s hair was a bit messy.”
His smile was like a gentle knife, piercing through the courage she had just mustered up.
She suddenly found herself unable to voice her complaints.
“Oh…” Qi Yue mumbled, her face blushing like a child who had made a mistake.
“Then I’ll go perform the consultations…”
“Hmm, I’ll wait for you so we can go home together…” Zhao Xiyan smiled like the spring blossoms of March, “Don’t overwork yourself.”
“…” Qi Yue didn’t even know how to respond.
Just now, Zhao Xiyan’s demeanor made her feel as if they were still husband and wife.
It was terrifying!
Was Zhao Xiyan’s post-divorce syndrome really this severe?
Did his affection for his ex-wife actually surpass his thoughts for Lady Bai Shao?
No no no, this was too frightening!
Let’s not forget, he had once been in a scandal with Princess that over a hundred people knew about!
This was intolerable!
Yes, that’s the decision.
She had to steady herself!
After he finished what he had to say tonight, he would probably leave.
Even if he didn’t leave, she would have to make him leave.
She wouldn’t want a man who was off-track mentally and physically, no matter how good he was!
Soon she became busy, one patient after another, and she hardly had any spare time.
Ever since her reputation as the Divine Doctor spread, more and more patients from distant places began visiting her.
Some people would even set off in the middle of the night to arrive early and queue for treatment.
Their illnesses were not like those of wealthy people; most were from overwork, poor diet, inadequate nutrition, and severe physical exhaustion.
Having seen so many human conditions, she understood their hardships all too well.
Getting medical treatment was one thing, but the key issue was the lack of money.
For these people, Qi Yue directly used the best medicines.
After all, her space’s Spiritual Spring Water and various herbs grew wildly, and now she had assistants and various pharmaceutical machines.
Miraculous Medicine was merely a matter of whether she wanted to use them or not.
The effects of these pills weren’t much different from those of the Carefree Pill, but Qi Yue provided them to these poor people who came from afar at the lowest possible price.
For some people with acute diseases, besides the regular medicines, she would also have an apprentice deliver a bottle, which improved the effectiveness when taken together.
Of course, she made this batch of medicines look a bit uglier and the colors more common, so they didn’t attract much attention.
Those who had taken it didn’t know what the medicine was, but they knew it worked well.
Word spread, and people from towns around and even from neighboring provinces began arriving.
By afternoon, there was still a large crowd queued outside.
As soon as they announced the end of the working day, a sigh of regret arose outside.
“I came too late. I should have set off at midnight!”
“I’m not going back today, I’ll stay right here until I get medicine for my mother!”
“…”
But Qi Yue was genuinely unable to continue seeing patients.
This morning, she had seen more than a hundred patients and her brain had been operating at high intensity for several Shichen, leaving her feeling quite weary.
Suddenly, a woman rushed in front of her, crying, “Divine Doctor, please save my father! We set off last night, encountered wild beasts on the road, and hid all night. We arrived late this morning, please have mercy!”
The apprentice immediately stepped forward to persuade her.
“Miss, the Divine Doctor has finished her consultations. You might want to see another doctor…”
“No, only the Divine Doctor can cure my father’s illness.”
The woman continued shouting, her crying voice making it distressing for the listeners.
Qi Yue couldn’t help but pause.
“What’s the situation with your father? Has he arrived?”
Seeing an opportunity, the woman quickly wiped the tears from her face.
“Yes, yes… Big Brother, Second Brother, the Divine Doctor agreed to treat father, hurry…”
She turned and signaled, immediately two men brought over a stretcher.
On the stretcher lay a thin elderly man, with his eyes closed tightly and a golden-hued face, obviously exhaling more than inhaling.
Qi Yue’s expression turned stern as she looked at the apprentice beside her.
“What’s going on? Didn’t we say to prioritize patients who are older, in urgent need, and who have come from afar?”
The apprentice was also very nervous.
“Master, I didn’t see them when I was managing the queue. I don’t know when they arrived…”
The woman quickly explained, “Divine Doctor, don’t blame this little medical apprentice. It is indeed our fault, we arrived too late despite hurrying.”
Hearing this, Qi Yue nodded and ordered the apprentice to write a notice to be placed outside, instructing that elderly, urgent, and long-distance patients should be given priority in the queue.
The apprentice hurried to take care of it.
Qi Yue had the elderly man moved into an adjacent ward for an examination, and found that he was suffering from orthostatic syncope caused by long-term low blood pressure.
This illness was easy yet difficult to treat.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If she wanted quick results, she could only use the Ghost Gate Needle.
