Chapter 728: Chapter 730: Husband, Can You Hypnotize?
Xiaoxiao didn’t know what Yang Ming had to discuss with the doctor, so she still took the child and went out to wait.
A moment later, Yang Ming came out, and the two of them, holding the child, got into the carriage.
The carriage didn’t move, as both of them first had a secret conversation inside the compartment.
As soon as they boarded, Xiaoxiao asked, "Husband, do you think what the doctor said is credible? Shouldn’t we take the child to see another doctor just in case?"
She had thought a lot about this matter. What if it was a misdiagnosis? How could such a small child be poisoned, and with that kind of poison, at that? Even as a modern person, she hadn’t heard of it.
"The doctor said the poison is rare, and he learned of it by chance. I think other doctors might not be able to identify it, it’s better to believe it exists than not. We shouldn’t delay the child’s treatment just because other doctors might not recognize the poison."
Xiaoxiao felt that Yang Ming made sense. They should indeed try to find that Divine Doctor Xue, but even in the modern world, where everything is so advanced, it’s difficult to find someone—let alone here. Could people really be that easy to locate? If so, Xiaotian wouldn’t still be missing.
"Alright, husband, I’ll listen to you."
"Let’s head to Medicine King Valley and try our luck. Even if we can’t find Divine Doctor Xue, there are surely other doctors in Medicine King Valley."
"Alright, but, husband, do you know where Medicine King Valley is?" With such a grandiose name like Medicine King Valley, it always seemed like a very secretive place, and that Divine Doctor Xue was notoriously elusive.
Yang Ming shook his head. "I don’t know, but let’s go to the Escort Agency first. The couriers travel a lot and know many places; perhaps they’ll know."
"Right, husband, what were you talking to the doctor about just now?"
"Nothing much, I hypnotized the doctor. If the child truly is poisoned, then someone intentionally administered it. We must be cautious not to expose this matter, so as to avoid bringing trouble upon ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in shock—Yang Ming could hypnotize? When had he become so formidable?
"Husband, you can hypnotize?"
"Not much, I know quite a few brothers in the Escort Agency, and they know a lot of skills. I just occasionally learned a little from them."
"..." Xiaoxiao was somewhat startled. Just how good was Yang Ming’s talent if he could learn hypnosis so casually? "Husband, you haven’t hypnotized me before, have you?"
She couldn’t help but feel it was terrifying to have someone capable of hypnotism by her side—perhaps everything had been pried out of her unknowingly.
"Wife, you’re overthinking it. How could I possibly use it on you?" Yang Ming smiled. His wife really had a wild imagination—how could he dare to do such a thing?
"Wife, I’m going to drive the carriage now. Let’s hurry to the Escort Agency."
"Okay."
Yang Ming stepped out of the carriage, climbed up to the driver’s seat, and steered the carriage toward the Escort Agency.
As Xiaoxiao held the child and looked at him, her mood grew complicated. Was it really a mistake to have decided to keep this child in the first place?
Or was it that the heavens were punishing her, not even allowing her to raise someone else’s child?
Now, it all seemed increasingly complicated. The officials were investigating the whereabouts of a fallen man, and the child had been found to have been poisoned in the womb. She had a feeling the child’s origins would bring them significant trouble.
But now she couldn’t let go. One can’t just abandon a child, especially one who had not yet taken his last breath.
Since they couldn’t abandon the child, the only thing they could do now was make the utmost effort to save him. As for whether the child would survive, that truly depended on his fate.
"Son, with your dad and mom working so hard to save you, you too must fight for your life."
