Chapter 491: Chapter 491, Inspection (3 more)

Qin Mao heard the words and gave a gentle smile.

It was the first time anyone had said they could cure him.

In the past, all those who had seen him arrived full of confidence, but after taking his pulse, they left with grim faces. He had long since given up hope.

Sometimes, he thought that death might mean an end to the pain, but he was afraid of making his mother sad.

Right, where are Father and Mother?

Qin Mao suddenly became anxious and tried to sit up.

...

But having hardly been able to eat anything for so long, he had no strength to do so.

Xie Zhinuan, as if she knew, soothed him in a gentle voice, “Your father and mother are just outside. They were injured, so I had someone prepare hot water for them to wash up. They are definitely eating now. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”

Qin Mao shook his head.

But he felt relieved.

It was good enough that his parents were still there, good enough!

Xie Zhinuan glanced at Qin Mao and noticed something was wrong with his eyes—they lacked focus.

She raised her hand and waved it in front of him, but although Qin Mao’s eyes were open, they did not follow the movement.

“…” Xie Zhinuan was silent.

Dugu Zhen, watching this, hurried forward to check on Qin Mao, flipping his eyelids.

“How long has he been like this?” Xie Zhinuan asked.

Qin Mao opened his mouth to reply but the pain in his throat was so intense that he could not speak.

“Bring a pair of clean chopsticks here!”

Dugu Zhen immediately responded, “Right away!”

And he left the chamber at once.

Xie Zhinuan watched the child beside her and silently sighed.

Was the child only this young and already so able to endure?

As soon as Dugu Zhen stepped out of the room, he felt an urgency.

Even as one of the foremost doctors in the world, there were still many diseases he could not diagnose, especially when the patient could not speak.

“Predecessor!” Qin Yu came rushing over.

He had only eaten one bowl of noodles. Compared to his usual slow and deliberate way of eating, the hunger and fatigue from worrying about his son made him gobble down his food. He even slurped his soup noisily and, after he finished eating, left his bowl and chopsticks for his wife to eat at her own pace while he came to check on things, only to see Dugu Zhen leaving the room, shaking his head and sighing.

Because of his son’s condition, he was very sensitive, and he had witnessed such scenes countless times.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. Even though the child’s condition is serious, with Zhinuan willing to take action, you just need to trust her. Do as she says. When you go in, be gentle, don’t startle the child, I’ll go get the chopsticks!”

“What do you need chopsticks for?” Qin Yu asked.

Dugu Zhen didn’t know either.

He stepped towards the kitchen.

Qin Yu stepped into the chamber.

He saw his son nestled beside Xie Zhinuan, looking so compliant that it surprised him.

His own son, despite being ill, was actually quite fussy; he wouldn’t let anyone close unless it was a few specific people.

Just as he was about to speak, Xie Zhinuan raised her hand and gently shushed him, signaling him to keep quiet.

Qin Yu slowly walked to a chair on the side and sat down. He didn’t dare to stare at Xie Zhinuan, but he couldn’t stop thinking about his child, nervously picking at the calluses on his palms.

Zhao Xiuya came hurrying over, following Dugu Zhen.

“Girl, the chopsticks are here!”

“Mmm!” Xie Zhinuan took the chopsticks and said to Qin Mao, “Open your mouth for me to take a look at your throat. After I’ve checked, I’ll give you something to drink, and then your throat won’t hurt anymore. You’ll be able to sleep soundly!”

Zhao Xiuya and Qin Yu were both startled and overjoyed upon hearing this.

They knew that without the Enchanting Drug, Qin Mao simply could not sleep.

Xie Zhinuan asked Dugu Zhen to light a few more oil lamps by the bedside.

“Come on, open your mouth!” Xie Zhinuan said softly.

Qin Mao hesitated, then gently opened his mouth.

That was as far as he could go.

Just by the light, one could see that his mouth was full of ulcers. They weren’t densely packed, but there were many.
