Chapter 305: Symptoms
Zhang Hao was surprised that his wife was back to using this kind of treatment again. He was instantly enraged and scolded, “You brainless woman! Why did you allow our son to drink stuff like that? Have you forgotten how he became like this in the first place?” He turned to Mo Li. “Doctor, you have to help my son spit out all those things. I’ll do anything for you.”
Mo Li shared a look with the nurse. Then they quickly started to induce vomiting. Zhao Hao grabbed Wei Fen tightly to prevent her from disrupting Mo Li and the nurse. However, Wei Fen had lost her mind. She bit her husband’s arm. Zhang Hao cried out in pain and had to let go. By then Zhang Hong had already vomited some of the talisman water out. Staring at the black water and the unknown substance, the people present frowned and shielded their noses.
“No! Don’t harm my son!” As Wei Fen was about to grab Mo Li, Zhang Hao shoved his wife out of the way. And then he slapped her. “If you continue to act like this, we’ll get a divorce and you can take care of the son yourself! Then you can feed him any kind of random shit you want! It has nothing to do with me anymore!”
Perhaps the slap or the threat of divorce had stunned her. Wei Fen sat on the ground and watched Mo Li and the nurse had Zhang Hong vomit out all the contents of his stomach. The light disappeared from her eyes, it was like she had already predicted her son’s death. “This is over now… You’ve angered Lady Flower… Ah Hong is definitely going to die now.”
Even though Mo Li was busy working, she couldn’t help but overhear the woman. Her heart froze. Lady Flower?
Yu Xuan had mentioned that name to her before. According to Yu Xuan, she first encountered the people from Flower Appraisal at the Temple of the Lady Flower near her old home. It was the people there who told her about the tragic events that happened to Yu Xuan’s recently debuted younger brother on the Goddess of the Sea. It was also there that Yu Xuan was determined to take revenge.
Doctor Zhao asked, “Miss Mo, can you tell what’s wrong with this child?”
Mo Li didn’t answer Doctor Zhao but lowered her head to think about something else. Seeing her reluctance to answer, the crowd started to mumble among themselves again. Due to the recent murder report on Mo Li, they all knew about her. The crowd started to mock Mo Li. Doctor Zhao saw how unresponsive Mo Li was and she was certain Mo Li had no idea what was wrong with the boy. In the end, they have to depend on me. Normally I wouldn’t have cared about a poor family like this but I guess there is no choice this time.
“And here I thought, the Mo Family’s daughter will be different! Ol’ Zhang, it’s not that I want to lecture you but how can you let a random girl come to diagnose your son? What if she killed him? What are you going to do then?” Doctor Zhao shook her head like she felt sorry for the couple. However, internally she was cheering and mocking Mo Li.
Mo Yun was also confused by Mo Li’s behavior. Initially, she was confident she could help this boy but now she was totally silent.
Doctor Zhao glanced at Mo Li. Actually, Zhang Hong’s diagnosis was simple but his illness was very troublesome to treat. Plus he didn’t come from a wealthy family. His illness would exhaust plenty of money and time. Doctor Zhao never intended to waste her effort on a poor boy. So she only used some medicine and drips to keep the boy at the edge of life. She didn’t expect the boy’s condition would worsen, however she knew that it had to do with the talisman water the mother had fed her son.
When Mo Li said she wanted to take a look at the boy, Doctor Zhao was worried that her tricks might be exposed but now by the looks of things, she was worried for no reason.
Doctor Zhao was fully relaxed. She was already coming up with the medical sets that she would offer the Mo Family. She would increase the price by 100 percent, compensation for her trouble of having to deal with Mo Li.
After hearing what Doctor Zhao had said, Zhang Hao’s conviction was shaken. He began to doubt the little girl. Could she really save their son?
“Miss… My son…” Zhang Hao raised his voice. There was a hint of distrust in it.
Mo Lin came back to her senses then. She was surprised that this incident would be related to Flower Appraisal. She was engrossed in her thoughts so she didn’t hear Doctor Zhao’s question. She didn’t pay attention to the people’s mockery either.
Mo Li arranged her thoughts and was about to speak when Zhang Hong in bed started to convulse. He was foaming at the mouth and his head shook non-stop. His eyes bulged and he looked terrifying.
