Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation Chapter 1618: Medicinal Herb Business

Ling Zhenfei said, "I just like this kind of life. I'm curious, so let's cover things up. I'll ask, and you answer."

"Alright, go ahead and ask." Bai Zhi looked as if she were ready to face death unflinchingly.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "How long have you been in this industry?"

Bai Zhi thought for a mont and said, "About three months, I guess."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "What about housekeeping?"

Bai Zhi replied, "Over half a year, I think."

Ling Zhenfei said, "You say I'm strange, but I actually find you strange. I never thought soone in your line of work could work so hard."

Bai Zhi said, "What else can I do?"

Ling Zhenfei asked, "It seems like you really need money, why?"

Bai Zhi replied, "Not everyone is that rich. If I had money, do you think I would be doing this kind of lowly work, in this industry I used to despise?"

Tears suddenly welled up in Bai Zhi's eyes, evidently recalling her experiences and past.

"When I was a child, although my family wasn't wealthy, we lived comfortably and without worry. Many people thought Bai Zhi was an alias, but it's my real na."

"The na is from a dicinal herb because my father used to be a doctor."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised and asked, "What happened that led you to such a downfall?"

Bai Zhi said, "When I was twelve, a great upheaval struck our family. My father had a car accident, injuring soone and ending up in the hospital himself, and we had to pay a lot of money."

"Though my father was a doctor, he couldn't heal himself. My mother took my father everywhere seeking treatnt, but his leg still wasn't saved."

But ti only drained my family's money without any other positive effect. At over forty, my mother's hair turned completely white due to the ntal anguish, rendering her unable to do anything."

"Two people, two different illnesses. My brother was still in school, and it nearly cost my life. We sold everything we could sell in the house. My mother frequently relapsed, requiring huge dical expenses.

I should have been attending university, already accepted into my desired school. But, what can I do? I'll never be able to go. I can only place my hopes on my brother."

Ling Zhenfei was greatly shocked, realizing it was indeed another sad story.

Thinking of Liu Bingying, Ling Zhenfei suddenly felt that the world was still beautiful.

It's rely that a woman left him, yet it ssed up his mind so much.

Looking at Bai Zhi again, he realized her story couldn't be fabricated; it was evident from her eyes.

Such an unfortunate girl, a beautiful future ruined by illness.

A flower-like beauty, whose life was destroyed due to family misfortunes. How many such stories are playing out around the world?

Ling Zhenfei felt very upset; just the other day, he t Qin Guan and his father, and now Bai Zhi and her family—all deeply sad stories.

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Is your ho in Binyang?"

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "No, my family is in the nearby city of Xiling, and there's no way I could work in this industry there. Even though I've beco what I am, I still want to keep so dignity."

Ling Zhenfei said, "There's a Ling Zhenfei in Binyang, known for his excellent dical Arts. Haven't you thought about taking your parents to see him?"

Bai Zhi replied, "To see Ling Zhenfei? We don't have that kind of money. People charge for treatnt; who's willing to treat you for free?"

Ling Zhenfei was shocked, never imagining that this was the impression of him out there.

There are so many people in the world, and birth, aging, illness, and death are natural occurrences. Ling Zhenfei could help those he encountered, like Qin Guan, but there were many he couldn't et and thus couldn't help.

Ling Zhenfei's plan for free treatnts was to help those with incurable diseases once a month.

But doing it monthly, while traveling nationwide, was a waste of ti. It drove him to think about establishing his own hospital, so he could help more patients every day.

With this thought growing stronger, Ling Zhenfei felt his earlier loss of poise was sowhat irrational.

Ling Zhenfei sat up in bed, startling Bai Zhi.

"What are you doing? You scared to death," Bai Zhi said, frightened.

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's nothing. Your story gave so ideas and confidence. So things can't just be thought over; they should be done better once decided."

Ling Zhenfei promptly picked up his phone and called Zhou Xia.

Even though it was only seven o'clock, Zhou Xia quickly answered the call.

"Zhenfei, calling so early—what's the matter?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Sister Zhou, how old are you really? You sound like an old woman."

Zhou Xia laughed, "You brat, always teasing your sister. What's the matter? You only think of when you need sothing!"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Look at what you said, Sister Zhou. I ran into Long Hai, and he ntioned you quite often."

Knowing that Long Hai and Zhou Xia were a couple, Ling Zhenfei intentionally brought it up.

Zhou Xia asked, "What did he say?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Nothing much, just that you're gentle, virtuous, and considerate..."

Zhou Xia said, "Don't try to trick . Long Hai wouldn't say such things. Tell what you really want?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "You're clever, Sister. I intended to ask about sothing I ntioned before—starting my own hospital."

Zhou Xia said, "Of course, I rember that. I've already helped with the application. However, establishing a large hospital now is difficult. I've only managed to secure qualification for a small one. The location has been approved, but you'll have to fund it yourself; the city can only provide partial support."

Ling Zhenfei was delighted. It was just sothing he casually ntioned in a previous call, not expecting Zhou Xia to actually look into it.

Although he hadn't anticipated city funding, Zhou Xia had done an exceptional job securing a potential site for the hospital.

And regarding the funds, Ling Zhenfei originally planned to find them himself, not expecting the city to offer so financial support.

Overjoyed, Ling Zhenfei asked, "Sister Zhou, this is great! Where's the hospital located?"

Zhou Xia laughed and replied, "Where do you think would be a good place?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I like quiet places, and patients should receive treatnt in peace, so I think it should be in a very remote area."
