Chapter 282 (1/2)

Treatment (2)

“Mom, we’re here. Sheng City. I’ll bring you to the genius doctor now, you’ll feel better soon,” said Chen Pi innocently, his tone full of hope.

“Yeah, I’ll be well in no time… Then you won’t have to suffer so much for me,” sighed the old woman. At this moment, she didn’t seem to worry about herself, but her son Chen Pi.

A patient sometimes worried more for their family compared to their own illness. They didn’t want their condition to be a burden to the family.

Most of the time, they longed for their illnesses to be cured not for their own sake, but for their family’s!

The old woman was in such a situation now. Chen Pi had been suffering for five, six years due to her illness. Not only had he spent all his savings on her, rushing around to care for her also affected his personal life and work.

Chen Pi was still at the prime of his life right now, he’d already spent six years of this time on his mother. How many six years did he have left?

This was the main concern of the old woman. She didn’t want to ruin her son’s life- even contemplating suicide multiple times. However, she couldn’t bear to leave Chen Pi alone- he was too innocent, too gullible!

At least she could watch out for him while she was still alive. She was very worried he wouldn’t know how to care for himself if she left.

At the same time, Chen Pi also gave her hope by bringing her for treatment in different places. Although these consultations had all ended in disappointment, at least there was hope.

Take Sheng City for example. Chen Pi had already been here once, this was the second time they were here.

It wasn’t a big deal the first time. In this mainland, anyone with any incurable illnesses would eventually seek help from Sheng City.

That was why Chen Pi sought help there in the beginning, his wish was just unfortunately unfulfilled.

This wasn’t because Sheng City’s doctors ignored them- they wouldn’t reject anyone who sought help. They would send the best physicians to attend the patients without charging them as the doctrine of the Scared Teachings was to help every single person in this world.

Other than the devil and heretics, everyone under the heavens could seek help from them.

Unfortunately, it was just that Sheng City wasn’t capable of curing all illnesses. Even they couldn’t do anything about a handful of terminal illnesses and all they could do was say: ‘We’re so sorry but there’s nothing we can do.”

While Sheng City indeed had the highest concentration of medical professionals in the mainland, this still didn’t mean the illness was incurable. There were many hidden experts among the common people who might have their own ways of treating these illnesses. These were often seen as obscure or traditional practices.

However, even the effectiveness of folk medicine still depended on a patient’s luck.

No matter what, this brought them hope. And this glimmer of hope was enough to keep the patient going.

This time, Chen Pi had rushed over immediately after hearing rumours of a ‘confused genius doctor’. People have claimed that this confused doctor had such awesome skills even top healers in Sheng City couldn’t compare!
