When Yi Zheng brought Shi Man in, Old Master Huo was coming downstairs.
When he saw the two of them, he immediately instructed the butler to pour tea. “The two of you are finally willing to come and see me?”
In front of them, Old Master Huo did not want to look dignified at all. Instead, he looked more like a grandfather who doted on his juniors.
Yi Zheng smiled apologetically. “It’s indeed our fault for taking so long to visit you.”
Hearing this, Old Master Huo pretended to be angry and pursed his lips. “Kid, don’t drag her along if you’re the one that’s rude.”
With that, he looked at the girl beside Yi Zheng with a benevolent smile. “Manman, if Yi Zheng dares to bully you in the capital in the future, come and complain to me. I’ll help you deal with him!”
Shi Man could tell that Old Master Huo doted on Yi Zheng. She was slightly surprised by the relationship between the two of them, but she still smiled and said, “Okay, Grandpa Huo.”
Elder Huo was stunned and tears welled up in his eyes. “What did you call me just now?”
Shi Man blinked in confusion. She looked at Yi Zheng and then at the stunned Old Master Huo. She could only repeat the greeting. “Grandpa Huo.”
Old Master Huo was so happy that he couldn’t close his mouth. “Yi Zheng, Manman is much better at talking than you. For Manman’s sake, 1 have to give my future grand daughter-in-law a greeting gift today.”
As he spoke, he instructed someone to immediately go to the storeroom to retrieve the pair of bracelets that had been treasured for many years.
Shi Man quickly refused.
She was just being polite. How could she take such an expensive gift from Old Master Huo?
However, because of Old Huo’s insistence, she could only accept it for the time being. She thought that she would hand it to Yi Zheng when she returned.
The three of them ate happily.
After dinner, Shi Man suggested visiting Old Master Huo’s granddaughter.
Elder Huo agreed without thinking. He thought that Shi Man just wanted to visit and show concern about his granddaughter’s condition. He had no idea that Shi Man had come this time to treat his granddaughter’s illness.
The dark bedroom was silent.
The butler went in first to check on Missy’s condition. Then, he turned on the dim yellow bedside lamp and invited Shi Man and the others in.
The room was filled with the nauseating smell of medicine. The butler hurriedly opened the window to ventilate.
Ever since Elder Huo entered this room, the smile on his face disappeared completely.
He pointed at the chair by the bed and walked to the sofa on the other side to sit down. “Sit down too. Xiao Ning has been like this for two years. I’ve looked for doctors for her, but they couldn’t treat her illness.”
As he spoke, he sighed deeply. “Yi Zheng, don’t blame me for handing the mining rights to the Sui family. Jiang Huan is the only person who can cure Xiao Ning. For Xiao Ning, I can give up everything.”
Yi Zheng nodded in understanding.
It was impossible for him to be angry with Elder Huo because of this.
Shi Man did not care what Old Master Huo had just said. Now, all her attention was focused on Huo Ning.
On the hospital bed, the young girl who seemed to have fallen asleep was pale to the point of being bloodless. There seemed to be a frown between her brows, as if she was not comforted by sleeping.
There was also a dried trail of medicine on her lips that extended all the way to her collar.
She suddenly took out a tissue at the side and raised her hand to personally wipe the mark for her. When she retracted her hand, her fingertips seemed to have accidentally pressed against the aorta on her neck, carefully feeling the weak heartbeat under her finger.
She frowned and threw the ball of paper in her hand into the trash can. Only then did she block herself from view and secretly take Huo Ning’s pulse.
Beside her, Yi Zheng saw what she was doing and took the initiative to understand Huo Ning’s condition from Old Master Huo. He wanted to obtain as much information as possible for Shi Man so that he could temporarily divert Old Master Huo’s attention from discovering what Shi Man was doing.
He was not worried that Shi Man would not be able to treat Huo Ning’s illness in the end. He just did not want the old man to be hopeful and disappointed again.
However, he had clearly underestimated Shi Man’s strength.
She only placed her hand on Huo Ning’s wrist and retracted her hand in less than a minute. The tension between her eyebrows relaxed, and her face was relaxed.
Yi Zheng looked over and saw Shi Man giving him a reassuring expression.
She stood up and slowly walked to Old Master Huo’s side. Under Old Master Huo’s surprised gaze, she asked in a low voice, “Grandpa Huo, did Miss Huo have symptoms like diarrhea, retching and dizziness before she got sick?”
Even someone like Old Master Huo could not help but stand up in surprise. “How did you know?”
Shi Man smiled and said, “Because I already know the cause of Miss Huo’s illness and am confident that I can treat her. It depends on whether you’re willing to believe in me.”
Hearing this, not only Old Huo, but even the butler could not help but ask in shock, “Miss Shi, do you actually know how to treat illnesses?”
“Yes.” Shi Man gave an affirmative answer without hesitation and continued to explain to them, “Miss Huo is actually not sick. Otherwise, the hospital would have diagnosed her illness.”
“Then she is…” Old Master Huo was already 70 to 80% convinced and couldn’t help but ask..
