After seeing off the two visitors, Luo Qiao closed the front door and turned to Gu Qianru who was standing in the yard, "Auntie, get some rest early."

Gu Qianru withdrew her gaze from the entrance and said, "Qiaoqiao, you’re leaving in a few days, why invite that patient over tomorrow? Where do you find the time to treat illness? Don’t end up fostering complaints again."

Luo Qiao took Gu Qianru’s arm, "Don’t worry, I’ve made it clear to them. It’s out of consideration for the old lady who, at her age, is still running around for her grandson. Whether I can cure him or not, we’ll only know after I’ve seen the patient. If it’s treatable, we’ll talk then."

After they parted, Luo Qiao returned to the backyard where her two daughters had just fallen asleep. Lu Yichen tiptoed out of the room, putting his finger to his lips to signal silence.

Having washed her hands, Luo Qiao took the Silver Needle and went with Lu Yichen to her uncle’s courtyard, "Uncle, sorry for the late visit today."

Gu Kairong greeted them at the door, "Not late at all, just in time for removing the needles before sleep. How nice."

Aunt Wang Danli emerged from the inner room, "Are the guests from the front courtyard gone?"

Luo Qiao nodded, "They’ve left."

Gu Kairong asked, "Who came?"

Lu Yichen, entering the bedroom with his uncle to get ready, replied, "It was someone seeking treatment from Qiaoqiao. They only found out yesterday. Hearing that Qiaoqiao is going abroad, they were afraid of missing out and came to find us."

Gu Kairong stated, "Qiaoqiao’s acupuncture is truly amazing. I feel like my body’s Ren and Du meridians have been cleared, I’m thoroughly comfortable, and even the old chronic illnesses have disappeared. It’s like I’ve been rejuvenated."

Standing outside, Luo Qiao thought to herself that it seemed there were still plenty of wise people, and that in the future she should be less radical to avoid trouble.

Once everything was ready inside, Lu Yichen said, "Come in."

Outside, Luo Qiao had already disinfected the Silver Needles, so she started the acupuncture right away. Considering her uncle’s earlier words, she decided not to use her Special Ability to sort his meridians.

She simply used the Silver Needle with Special Ability to repair the cells around the testes, ensuring they would be healed before her departure.

The next morning, snow began to fall gently from the sky. Luo Qiao recalled the saying, "Snow on the Lantern Festival, clouds over the moon on the Mid-Autumn Festival," unsure how long the snowfall would last.

After eating, the telephone rang in the living room. It was the Qiao Family calling from a hotel not far from the Gu family’s place, asking Luo Qiao to come over.

Lu Yichen insisted, "I’ll accompany you."

Luo Qiao nodded, getting up to put on her coat.

Yanyan and Yueyue wanted to follow, but the snow was falling heavily outside, so they had to be consoled with promises of making lanterns together upon their return. Only then did they allow them to leave.

As soon as the couple appeared, the woman who had interrupted the day before came forward to greet them, "This way, please."

The reserved room was on the first floor, and they quickly saw the patient. Upon seeing him, Luo Qiao felt he looked somewhat familiar but couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.

Old Lady Qiao introduced, "This is my grandson, Qiao Hua."

She then said to Qiao Hua, "This is Dr. Luo."

Seeing how young Luo Qiao was, disappointment flashed across Qiao Hua’s face, "Grandma, you’re not joking with me, are you? This doctor is too young."

Old Lady Qiao patted her grandson on the shoulder, "Don’t talk nonsense. Haven’t you ever heard the phrase ’a young talent’? Dr. Luo is a young and promising person of extraordinary talent."

Luo Qiao approached and asked about his condition, then requested, "Please remove his outer pants; just leaving the long johns is fine."

After that, she turned to discuss with Lu Yichen what they needed to do upon returning home. When everything was ready, she turned back to examine the patient.

A quarter-hour later, Luo Qiao slowly began, "You’ve taken good care of him; the muscles on his leg haven’t necrotized. It seems the issue is indeed with the nerves. Let me see the most recent X-rays."

Someone immediately handed them to her, and after careful inspection, Luo Qiao remarked, "Hmm, the situation isn’t too bad."

The Qiao Family, upon hearing this, felt their hanging hearts ease somewhat.

After some consideration, Luo Qiao said, "It’s treatable. There are two options. One is acupuncture, which will require at least three months, followed by starting rehabilitation with Chinese medicine.

The other is taking pill medicine to gradually recover, which would need at least half a year before rehabilitation can begin. However, since everyone’s constitution is different, the timeframe I’ve mentioned is approximate."

The companions who came with them stood stunned at the words, while Qiao Hua was skeptical, "You’re not just trying to swindle money, are you? Let me tell you, our Qiao Family is not one you can offend."

Luo Qiao stated, "The decision is in your hands. No one can force you. Whether you believe or not is up to you, but let me make it clear, whichever method you choose, my fees are high. If you find them unacceptable, then we needn’t continue this conversation."

Old Lady Qiao gathered herself and said, "Qiao Hua, apologize. How could you speak like that?"
