For Ning, the silent CEO who always wears a cold expression, she certainly wouldn't ask anything, but curiosity is sothing that everyone possesses.
Ten million, such an astonishing figure, but when exchanged for a human life, it's still worth it. However, even the hospital couldn't treat the terminal illness, so how could Luo Chao be able to cure it?
With one hand holding Doudou and the other hand carrying a large pile of purchased gifts, Luo Chao considerately took the big bags from her.
Half an hour later, the group found the nearest hotel, booked an hourly room, and after entering the room, under Luo Chao's instruction, Li Na placed Li Daming on the bed and got a spirit lamp ready. Once everything was set up, Ning Wanxi approached Li Na and whispered, "May I ask, what illness does your father have?"
Li Na whispered, "Brain tumor, and it's pressing on the nerves, making surgery impossible."
A brain tumor pressing on the nerves! Ning Wanxi's heart trembled; hearing it sounded terrifying enough, and yet treatable? Could this cheap husband be a charlatan? How can such a disease be treated?
Surgery isn't possible, and taking dicine can't make the tumor shift away from the nerves, Ning Wanxi thought silently. Still, if this disease could be cured, it would surely shock the world.
Luo Chao took out a silver needle box that he always carried, and their eyes focused intently on the silver needles, acupuncture!
After lighting the spirit lamp, Luo Chao took out a silver needle to sterilize it—the first needle directly pierced the scalp, and this first needle was crucial; it needed very precise control.
After three consecutive needles, Luo Chao's forehead was sweating, which showed how exhausting scalp acupuncture was. anwhile, Li Daming didn't dare move, feeling a surge of heat drilling into his brain from the silver needle, making his entire face turn red, yet it felt quite comfortable.
With another three needles inserted, Luo Chao's back was soaked with sweat, and white mist strangely began to erge from Li Daming's head as the acupuncture stimulated ridians, producing heat that ford into strands of white mist.
At this mont, a painful expression appeared on Li Daming's face, and his body began to tremble slightly, especially his head, as if the tumor was trying to erge from within.
Li Daming started moaning in pain, gritting his teeth not daring to scream, while Luo Chao used a total of nine needles, no more. After ten minutes, Li Daming's sowhat ferocious expression gradually eased and returned to calmness, and Luo Chao calmly removed the silver needles from his head.
Li Na imdiately rushed to her father, hurriedly asking, "Dad, how do you feel?"
Li Daming took a deep breath and then said, "It seems much better now, but" he glanced at Luo Chao, "Doctor Luo, is this really cured?"
Luo Chao nodded, "Yes, congratulations on your rebirth."
"What about the tumor in my brain then?" Li Daming asked in surprise, not seeing the tumor being removed—could it have disappeared inside his brain?
"Well," Luo Chao chuckled twice, "of course, it's still in your brain. How could it be in mine?"
Everyone's faces stiffened—are you kidding? The tumor remains, yet you claim the disease is cured. Li Na, furious and ashad, angrily shouted, "You're swindling us! I'll report you to the police!"
Ning Wanxi glared at Luo Chao with an expression that clearly conveyed, "You don't know what nonsense you're doing. Do you really think you're an immortal?"
Though this cheap husband was lazy and gluttonous, he never asked for a penny from her; sotis when buying things, he would even pay without anyone knowing, as if he were the master of the household. So, Ning Wanxi understood that even if he loved money, he pursued it rightfully.
Luo Chao spat and said, "Miss Li, you can insult my character, but please don't insult my intelligence!"
On a regular day, Li Na would have laughed, but now she couldn't muster a smile, and this feeling made her chubby face look quite awkward. Luo Chao didn't seem to be lying, but the tumor hadn't disappeared—how could it be considered cured?
Ning Wanxi scoldingly glanced at him, while little Doudou, the baby, seed to understand the words, grinning and giggling aloud, making Luo Chao cheerfully laugh, "Little Doudou understands the best."
"I feel sensation in my feet—I'll try walking," Li Daming suddenly found his feet trembling slightly seconds after feeling a tingling sensation in his legs, which excited him. Supporting himself with his hands, he struggled to sit up from the bed. He trembled as his feet hit the ground, not having walked for days; were it not for Li Na supporting him, he would have stumbled to the floor.
Step one, step two, Li Daming moved forward with twisted expressions, while Li Na and Ning Wanxi watched the scene in shock. Though his steps were sluggish and labored, he could indeed walk!
Li Daming slowly regained the sense of walking; after taking more than ten steps, he no longer needed Li Na's support. He returned to the wheelchair, sweating profusely, exhaling heavily, "Doctor Luo, I seem to be really healed, but why do you say the tumor is still in my brain?"
Luo Chao shrugged, "It's certainly in your brain; such a large tumor, even Daluo Immortals can't make it disappear inexplicably."
"Then why is my dad's illness cured? Could it recur?" Li Na said seriously. Truthfully, she was amazed by Luo Chao's dical skills; just a few needles allowed her father to walk again. In these past few days, not only couldn't he walk, but he nearly lost control over his bladder and bowels.
"What I an by cured is that it won't recur. The effect of my silver needles is to suppress the tumor's abnormal changes and growth, and more importantly, strengthen the compressed nerves, allowing these nerves to function without being affected even when wrapped around by the tumor."
Luo Chao spoke each word slowly, as if performing magic. Li Daming and Li Na's eyes widened, nearly kneeling to kowtow before the Divine Doctor.
Li Daming, having regained his life, couldn't help shedding tears of joy, looking at the bright sunlight outside, feeling grateful to be alive. But thinking of the ten million gone, his lips couldn't help but twitch fiercely.
However, Li Daming had no idea that Li Na had long known Luo Chao and even bragged arrogantly in front of him to tease her old classmate Xie Yong. If Li Na and Xie Yong had a good relationship, they might have received a ninety percent discount.
Li Na dared not ntion this, fearing her parents would retaliate against her. Reflecting on past events, Li Na regretted treating others poorly just because she had so stinky money—the consequence being losing Xie Yong and now ending up broke.
The most significant aspect was that Xie Yong was her first love—a love one only treasures after losing it and wishes to recover. Over the days, Li Na had beco much thinner. At this rate, she'd certainly slim down; indeed, heartbreak is the best slimming thod.
