Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Making a Move (3)_1

Situ Xin felt that this doctor was too noisy. He carelessly retrieved a small ring from her pocket and threw it at the doctor’s acupoint. Instantly, Doctor Mao, who had been babbling ceaselessly, was seen with his mouth opening and closing, but not a sound came out.

Doctor Mao, frightened, widened his eyes and touched his throat, his mouth forming the words: "What’s happened to me, what’s going on?"

Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang were used to Situ Xin’s acupoint technique. A long time ago, it was with this technique that Situ Xin had helped Xia Yujie take revenge and reclaim Dragon Society.

However, Liu Guobiao and Liu Yubin were left dumbfounded. Although they knew Liu Yuxiang had made considerable progress over the years and had learned some real skills, since Liu Yuxiang never demonstrated his martial arts moves or mentioned anything about acupoint techniques in front of them, they were speechless, alternating their gaze between Situ Xin and Doctor Mao without uttering a word.

Fortunately, it was just Doctor Mao and the Liu family present, along with Xia Yujie, or else Situ Xin’s move would have undoubtedly drawn a large crowd of onlookers.

Situ Xin said to Doctor Mao, "You’re too noisy. So, you’ll just have to be inconvenienced for a while. Once things here are taken care of, I’ll release your acupoint." After finishing her words, she turned to Xia Yujie, who was blocking Doctor Mao, and said, "You help me keep him here, don’t let him leave."

"Yes, Miss, I understand." In fact, even if Situ Xin hadn’t said anything, Xia Yujie wouldn’t have let Doctor Mao leave.

After dealing with Doctor Mao, Situ Xin put on a serious expression and said to Liu Yuxiang, "Your mother’s health is in poor condition."

As soon as Situ Xin said this, Liu Yuxiang’s face fell. "Master, is there really no hope for my mother?" Liu Guobiao’s expression wasn’t any better, and Liu Yubin’s face was filled with self-reproach.

"Liu Yuxiang, calm down. I haven’t finished speaking yet, what are you getting worked up about?" chastised by Situ Xin, Liu Yuxiang immediately composed his facial expression and said, "Master, please continue."

"Your mother’s health is in very poor condition, not only with severe heart failure but her overall constitution is also very weak. Initially, I wanted to perform acupuncture to treat her heart failure, but given her current frail condition, she couldn’t undergo the needles. Therefore, I had to administer a special medicine I prepared. Once your mother’s condition improves a bit, I’ll perform the acupuncture." Situ Xin paused for a moment before continuing, "However, it will be somewhat difficult to completely cure your mother’s illness; it will take some time." If it were just a case of acquired heart failure, a few sessions of acupuncture with Situ Xin, and this acupuncture was just a simple application of a bit of Spiritual Energy, would not have compared to what Old Deng used to do. But Liu Yuxiang’s mother’s heart condition had been a congenital issue since birth.

Although in recent years, Liu Yuxiang’s mother had been very conscientious in managing her health, she was only treating the surface issues. Deep down, the problem had never been properly addressed.

Having finished, Situ Xin stretched out a hand and pinched the bridge of her nose. This whole day had really been draining. She wondered if none of today’s events would have occurred had she not remembered to check up on the darned 911 issue, going to her uncle’s company, or visiting Dragon Society.

But that was just Situ Xin’s mind wandering because she knew that some things were not about ’what if’ scenarios. Rather, everything was predestined. Just like today—if she hadn’t gone to Dragon Society, if Liu Yuxiang hadn’t received a phone call from his father before she left—

she definitely wouldn’t have ended up in SH with Liu Yuxiang, and his mother would certainly not have survived the night.

This series of events was closely interconnected, not the mere ’what ifs’ that could be simply wished away.

"You’re saying my wife’s illness can be completely cured?" While Liu Yuxiang and his brother had limited knowledge about their mother’s illness, Liu Guobiao knew the details very well.

His wife had been born with an insufficient heart, but fortunately, the condition wasn’t severe. With proper care, there wouldn’t be any major issues, which is how she was able to give birth to two sons eventually. However, her condition worsened during the period of the national revolution when he was denounced and arrested. Worried about him, his wife could not sleep well or eat properly, and she spent her days seeking connections to help him.

It was after his release that her health deteriorated significantly, with her heart condition getting increasingly worse.

Over the years, Liu Guobiao had searched the world for renowned doctors to cure his wife, but no one claimed they could completely heal her condition, only prescribing medication and suggesting adjustments. His hair turned white largely due to the worry over his wife’s illness.

"Yes, it can be cured. I will discuss the specific treatment methods with you tomorrow." Situ Xin glanced at her watch, noting it was getting late, well past dinner time. Baibai had already complained to her several times, and her own stomach was growling with hunger. "Ah Xiang, your mother’s condition has now stabilized, and there’s no longer a threat to her life," she said.

"Master, thank you. Really, thank you," Liu Yuxiang said, nearly tearing up again upon hearing that his mother was out of danger.

"Let’s not talk about such trivial matters. I’m hungry and need to eat. Are you coming with me and Ah Jie, or are you staying behind?" asked Situ Xin.

"I want to stay here with my mom until she wakes up," Liu Yuxiang said, feeling a bit conflicted. He knew that as a host, he should accompany Situ Xin on her first visit to his hometown, but he was too worried about his mother.

"No problem, you stay here. But, your mother won’t wake up tonight." The Spiritual Energy used was to repair the functions inside the body at a slowed pace because if it was too fast, Liu Yuxiang’s mother’s current condition definitely could not handle it. "We’ll go ahead with Ah Jie then. I’ll come back tomorrow for further treatment. Also, if anything happens, give me a call," Situ Xin implied clearly that she wouldn’t be returning later on.
