“Money is not the issue!” Lu Fan shrugged. “After all, I’m not interested in money.”
Lin Guoli’s face turned ashen. With Lu Fan’s antics, most of the 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 looked troubled. He had already realized that Lu Fan was not someone to be trifled with. If Lin Guoli didn’t take Lu Fan seriously, why would Lu Fan offer his help?
“Guoli, if Mom passes away, you know what the consequences will be,” Lin Aotian said.
Lin Guoli shivered and suddenly looked at Lu Fan. “It was my fault earlier for offending Mr. Lu. I beg Mr. Lu to be magnanimous and save the old lady’s life!”
Lin Guoli’s expression was serious and quite sincere, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent. After all, any later, and the old lady would truly be done for.
Lu Fan remained aloof, unwilling to accept the apology. Lin Ke, however, walked over. “Brother Lu Fan, are you really confident?”
“I was confident during the day, but at night, I’m not entirely sure,” 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 anything to happen to her.”
“Since Xiao Ke, you’ve said so, I naturally won’t disappoint you,” Lu Fan nodded.
Lin Guoli hurried forward to lead the way, flattering Lu Fan excessively. Lu Fan responded better to gentle persuasion than to force. He could see that if he wanted Lu Fan’s help now, he couldn’t afford to be too arrogant.
Upon arriving at the Lin family’s residence, the 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 that the old lady would be fine today.
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 and looked at Divine Doctor Chen with utter disdain.
After reaching the old madam’s side and checking her pulse, Lu Fan looked at Divine Doctor Chen. “What’s going on here! The old lady’s heart has stopped beating. Didn’t Divine Doctor Chen guarantee this morning that nothing would happen?”
“The heart has stopped beating?” Lin Guoli exclaimed, his face contorted with grief.
Lin Aotian also took a few steps back, his body swaying unsteadily. Divine Doctor Chen was at a loss. He had confidently made assurances today, and now that a life was at stake, how could he explain it to the Lin family?
“Did I arrive too late!”
Lin Ke frowned. He didn’t particularly like the old madam lying on the sickbed, but she was his grandmother after all, and he couldn’t accept this scene.
“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 interjected. “The deceased must be respected. Stop causing trouble here.”
“Did I make any mistakes when I made my diagnosis this morning?” 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 will proceed!”
With that, Lu Fan held silver needles and inserted them into the old madam’s meridians, suspended 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 what you can do, young man!”
Divine Doctor Chen stood to the side, thinking to himself.
Whether the old madam could be cured or not, it was no longer his concern. All the blame would fall on Lu Fan.
From beginning to end, Divine Doctor Chen had never taken Lu Fan seriously. He was merely a scapegoat.
Lin Guoli’s face was ashen. Although he was not a doctor, he knew that once a person’s heart stopped beating, there was no possibility of survival.
Lu Fan was still treating her, which was simply self-deception.
“Go and prepare for the funeral arrangements!” Lin Aotian, tears streaming down his face, said to Steward Wu.
Steward Wu nodded solemnly, filled with helplessness. Although Madam Lin was difficult, she was still the mistress of the Lin family. Her passing now was regrettable.
“Wait, wait a little longer!” Lin Ke said. “Perhaps there’s still a chance!”
“Her heart has already stopped beating! Where is there any chance?” Lin Guoli said coldly. “If he had come earlier, perhaps there would have been a sliver 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 finished speaking, the people in the room fell into a brief silence, 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. By shifting the blame to Lu Fan, he would bear no responsibility. Su Dan Novel Network
After everyone left, Lu Fan worked assiduously to save her, employing various acupuncture techniques. Madam Lin was already frail, and now suffering from a stroke and on the verge of death, it was no trifling matter.
If not for Lu Fan’s exquisite medical skills, Madam Lin’s life would have been in grave danger.
After a quarter of an hour, Madam Lin in the room awoke, her heart returning to a steady rhythm. The first person she saw was Lu Fan, and she looked at him with surprise. However, Madam Lin was weak and could not utter a word.
Seeing that Madam Lin was stable, Lu Fan withdrew his needles and walked towards the door.
Steward Wu was about to prepare for the funeral, but Lin Ke kept stopping him. The reason Lin Ke did this was because he believed in Lu Fan.
Lu Fan would never do anything he wasn’t confident about. Since Lu Fan had taken action, it meant he had absolute certainty. This was Lin Ke’s trust in Lu Fan.
The room door opened, and Lu Fan walked out.
“How is it? Didn’t I say that a stopped heart cannot be revived?” Divine Doctor Chen stated directly. “You’re still too green, kid!”
Lu Fan ignored Divine Doctor Chen and looked at Lin Aotian. “Old Madam Lin has been healed. As long as she rests well, there should be no further problems. As for the one condition you promised me, I will ask for it when I think of it!”
Everyone had expected bad news, but upon hearing Lu Fan’s words, they were somewhat dumbfounded.
“She’s alive, the old madam is alive!” Steward Wu walked in first and then shouted.
The others followed suit, rushing in. Divine Doctor Chen, also baffled, headed towards the room. He was well aware of Madam Lin’s condition; even if the God of Medicine himself came, it would likely be useless.
Unfortunately, upon entering 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, her overall complexion was vastly different from before.
