Chapter 874: Chapter 577: They (First Update)_2

Mu Lin raised her eyes to look at everyone and said, "All of you, turn around."

She sighed softly in her heart. Although she was a doctor, she really wasn’t a psychologist and did not know how to treat autism, especially not in a young boy with a severe case of it. Such a young boy was not like an adult; he could not be struck or stimulated.

However, the inability of a person to stand up sometimes isn’t just for physiological reasons, but psychological ones as well.

And the delicate blue-eyed boy in front of Mu Lin was a case of both.

Otherwise, Mu Lin might not have such patience.

Alas...even after having rested well, they sent her on such a troublesome mission!

Though puzzled, everyone still turned around without hesitation. But their ears... were all pricked up as high as they could be.

"Alright, tell us, what’s your name?" Mu Lin asked with rare patience, looking at him and quietly waiting for his answer.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, a faint sound came from the boy’s mouth, which had been opening and closing.

"Ebel...Ebel," his voice was very soft, very quiet, but everyone heard it.

Ebel represents breath and life.

It seemed that his parents must have loved him dearly; his existence must have been treasured.

"Your parents must love you very much," Mu Lin said slowly, but the boy shook his head slightly, as if thinking of something, his little head drooping straight down. It was then that the person behind him had the chance to speak up, "His mother, she passed away while giving birth to the Little Young Master..." The sentence stopped there, no more was said, presumably, it was something that could no longer be discussed.

Nevertheless, Mu Lin understood what was left unsaid.

It was a difficult birth, wasn’t it!

Though the technology is advanced now and medical techniques are advanced as well, difficult births still happen, no wonder they gave him such a name.

"Your mother loved you very much. Otherwise, she would never trade her life for yours to live," Mu Lin continued. For the people of C Country, these words were taboo because they were not allowed to talk about Ebel’s mother in front of him, at least, definitely not allowing strangers to mention her.

However, Mu Lin knew that the young boy in front of her, who had never met or at most seen his mother only in photographs, had a deep longing for her.

From the way he looked at his belly, Mu Lin could feel it.

He... must have seen photos of his pregnant mother.

Raising her hand, Mu Lin took Ebel’s small hand and placed it on her belly, and at that moment, the baby inside her belly cooperated and moved, instantly pulling Ebel back from his sorrow.

His face was full of surprise as he looked at Mu Lin.

"It seems they like you a lot," Mu Lin said with a smile curling at the corner of her mouth. Gradually, a faint smile also appeared on Ebel’s face, weak but to the three people behind him, it was full of wonder.

However, unlike others, Jing Chen had paused when he heard Mu Lin say "they". It was the first time he had heard her use the word "they" to describe the baby in her belly.

For some reason, Jing Chen felt differently; of course, now was not the time to delve into these thoughts.

Looking at the small hand that Mu Lin held, placing it on her belly, Jing Chen’s eyes were deep with emotion.

That was always his special place.

"I...like them too," Ebel spoke for the second time that day, his small hand moving as if he was greeting the baby in the belly.

"Ebel," Mu Lin looked at him, tenderness in her eyes tinged with a bit of seriousness, "As a mother, I think I can understand the feeling your mother had when she gave birth to you. She must have loved you so much that she was willing to use her own life to give you a chance to live." These were her own feelings.

And Gong Muxue felt the same way because if it were her, she would also make the same choice.

Ebel’s disability indeed came from his mother, but it was not congenital. It was... caused by poisoning.

This was likely also the main reason for Ebel’s mother’s difficult birth.

Mu Lin had already discovered some things when she took his pulse earlier; of course, this included some of her own speculations.

In fact, Ebel’s leg condition was treatable. His problem was merely due to toxins from the mother causing blockages in the meridians, coupled with some psychological factors. The combination of these led to his current state.

As long as the meridians could be unblocked, his legs would be healed, which was no difficult thing for Mu Lin.

However, these were things that Western medical devices could not detect; Mu Lin had called them foolish because they had not even detected the obvious toxins in Ebel’s body.

After so many years, she did not believe they had not researched and hypothesized; probably, they were just afraid to confirm it.

Well, it was none of her business.

But since it was a mission assigned by superiors, perhaps that old man intended it for the friendship between the two countries. If she cured the son of C Country... Mu Lin raised an eyebrow, wondering if there might be any reward.

Cough cough... she got sidetracked for a moment.

If that elder saw the expression on Mu Lin’s face at that moment, he probably would be very pleased, as he was quite fond of Mu Lin.

At this moment, neither those around her nor Ebel noticed the thoughts and mutterings in Mu Lin’s mind; all were deep in thought because of her words.
