"Money is irrelevant!" Lu Fan shrugged, "After all, I'm not interested in money."
Lin Guoli's face turned ashen. With Lu Fan's antics, a lot of time had passed, and he had no idea how the old lady's condition was. He felt like an ant on a hot pan.
Lin Aotian also found it difficult. Lu Fan was not someone easy to deal with; he had seen that clearly. If Lin Guoli didn't take Lu Fan seriously, why would Lu Fan offer his help?
"Guoli, if Mom dies, you know what the consequences will be," Lin Aotian said.
Lin Guoli shivered and suddenly looked at Lu Fan, "I was wrong earlier, offending Mr. Lu. I beg Mr. Lu to show mercy and save the old lady's life!"
Lin Guoli's expression was serious and sincere, daring not to be negligent. After all, if it were any later, the old lady would truly be done for.
Lu Fan still maintained his aloof demeanor, unwilling to accept the apology. Lin Ke, however, walked over, "Brother Lu Fan, are you really sure!"
"I was indeed confident during the day, but I don't have absolute certainty at night," Lu Fan shrugged. "After all, I tried to remind you, but some people mocked me."
"Since that's the case, let's go," Lin Ke said seriously. "No matter what, she is my grandmother, and I naturally don't want her to be in trouble."
"Since little Ke, you've said so, I will naturally not disappoint you," Lu Fan nodded.
Lin Guoli quickly stepped forward to lead the way, flattering him profusely. Lu Fan was receptive to kindness but not coercion. He could see that if he wanted Lu Fan's help now, he couldn't put on airs.
Upon arriving at the Lin family's residence, Divine Doctor Chen in the room was frantic. The old lady was on her last breath, and Lu Fan had still not arrived.
If the old lady were to pass away, he would not be able to account for it to the Lin family. He had guaranteed with his chest puffed out today that the old lady would be fine.
Seeing Lu Fan's figure, Divine Doctor Chen showed joy, "Little brother, you've finally arrived. Hurry and see what's going on and why the old lady is like this!"
Lu Fan, however, was unhurried, looking at Divine Doctor Chen with utter disdain.
Approaching the old madam, Lu Fan took her pulse and then looked at Divine Doctor Chen, "What is going on! The old lady's heart has stopped beating. Didn't Divine Doctor Chen guarantee during the day that nothing would happen!"
"Her heart has stopped beating?" Lin Guoli exclaimed, his face filled with grief.
Lin Aotian also stepped back a few paces, his body unsteady. Divine Doctor Chen was also at a loss. He had confidently guaranteed today, and now that a life was lost, how could he account for it to the Lin family?
"Did I come too late!"
Lin Ke frowned. He didn't like the old madam lying on the sickbed, but she was his grandmother after all. He couldn't accept this scene either.
"Why are you all acting like you're mourning?" Lu Fan glanced at them. "I said her heart stopped beating, but I didn't say she couldn't be saved!"
"The dead cannot be brought back to life. How can she still be saved?" Divine Doctor Chen said. "The deceased should be respected. Stop causing trouble here."
"Did my diagnosis during the day prove to be wrong?" Lu Fan glanced at them. "If you still don't believe me, the old lady will truly be beyond saving!"
"As long as you can save my old lady, no matter what you need, our Lin family will fulfill it!" Lin Aotian said repeatedly.
"You said it!" Lu Fan nodded and smiled. "In that case, I'll make my move!"
After speaking, Lu Fan held silver needles and inserted them into the old madam's meridians in mid-air. At the same time, Lu Fan continuously patted the old madam's chest.
"The dead cannot be brought back to life. I'd like to see if you have any skills, young man!"
Divine Doctor Chen stood by, thinking to himself.
Regardless of whether the old madam could be cured, it was no longer his concern. All the blame would fall on Lu Fan.
From beginning to end, Divine Doctor Chen hadn't taken Lu Fan seriously. He was merely a scapegoat.
Lin Guoli's face was ashen. Although he wasn't a medical practitioner, he knew that once a person's heart stopped beating, there was no hope of survival.
Lu Fan was still treating her, which was just self-deception.
"Go and prepare for the funeral!" Lin Aotian, tears streaming down his face, said to Butler Wu.
Butler Wu nodded solemnly, also feeling helpless. Although Madam Lin was harsh, she was the mistress of the Lin family. It was regrettable that she had passed away like this.
"Wait, wait a bit longer!" Lin Ke interjected. "Perhaps there's still a chance!"
"Her heart has stopped beating! How can there be a chance!" Lin Guoli said coldly. "If he had come earlier, perhaps there would have been a glimmer of hope."
"It's meaningless to say this now!" Lin Aotian stated directly. "Perhaps this is fate!"
"Can you all stop arguing!" Lu Fan glanced at them. "All of you, get out!"
As soon as he spoke, the people in the room fell silent for a moment, feeling somewhat bewildered. The person had already stopped breathing, yet Lu Fan was still busy.
"Let's go out first," Lin Aotian said. "Whether he can cure her or not!"
Everyone nodded and stepped outside. Divine Doctor Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If this matter were shifted and blamed on Lu Fan, he would bear no responsibility. Su Dan Novel Network
After everyone left, Lu Fan focused on the rescue, employing various acupuncture techniques. The old madam was already frail, and now suffering from a stroke and on the verge of death, it was no trivial matter.
If not for Lu Fan's superb medical skills, the old madam's life would have been in grave danger.
After a quarter of an hour, the old madam in the room woke up, her heart returning to a calm rhythm. The first person she saw was Lu Fan, and she was quite surprised. However, the old madam was weak and could not speak.
Seeing that the old madam was stable, Lu Fan withdrew his needles and walked towards the door.
Butler Wu intended to prepare for the funeral but was stopped by Lin Ke. The reason he acted this way was his belief in Lu Fan.
Lu Fan would never do anything without certainty. If Lu Fan did it, he had absolute confidence; this was Lin Ke's trust in Lu Fan.
The room door opened, and Lu Fan walked out.
"How is it? I told you that a stopped heart cannot bring the dead back to life," Divine Doctor Chen said directly. "You're still too young, kid!"
Lu Fan ignored Divine Doctor Chen and looked at Lin Aotian, "Old Madam Lin has been cured. With sufficient rest, there should be no problems. As for the one condition you promised me, I will ask for it when I've thought of it!"
Everyone had expected bad news, but Lu Fan's words left them somewhat bewildered.
"She's alive, the old madam is alive!" Butler Wu was the first to walk in and then shouted.
The others followed suit without hesitation. Divine Doctor Chen was also confused and headed towards the room. He knew the old madam's condition well; even if the Great Emperor of Immortality himself came, it would likely be useless.
Unfortunately, when he entered the room, Divine Doctor Chen was completely stunned. Not only had the old madam been saved, but she was also full of vigor. Although she still couldn't speak, judging by her overall complexion, she was completely different from before.
