Chapter 138 - If Something Happens, I Will Be Responsible (1/2)

The old Madame had always paid attention to her health maintenance, so this was not the first time she’d heard of a medicine pillow.

Seeing that Yun Xi had so considerately brought this over, she hugged the pillow, and, upon getting a whiff of the faint scent of medicine, she nodded in satisfaction.

“You are the most endearing out of all.”

Yun Xi smiled softly like a gentle little kitten. When she smiled, one could see faint dimples on her cheeks, and they made her appear even more adorable.

“Old Madame, you think that Western medicine is risky, and I know that you are worried that you are getting older and that you might not be able to see your family’s next generation in case something happens during surgery. Well then, let’s not use Western medicine as treatment. I can check your pulse now, how about that?”

Yun Xi’s words struck a nerve for the old Madame.

Only she understood her worries and concerns.

Everyone in the family felt that she was old and stubborn, too stubborn, but only this girl understood her worries.

“Ah, you, my girl, you understand me,” the old lady spoke in a choked voice as she patted the back of Yun Xi’s hand.

The more proud people were, the more sad they got as they got older, and the more they cherished being understood.

“Chenchen has always praised you for your medical expertise. When I saw you, I couldn’t believe that you were the young girl who’d saved and healed the wounded.”

“Yes! Grandma, Little Yun Xi’s medical skills are really extraordinary. The surgery she performed on me on the train, even the doctors at the hospital said that the best among them might not have succeeded in that situation.”

“Really? She’s really that impressive?”

Yun Xi smiled and leaned over to change the pillow behind the old Madame.

“I’ve only learned a little bit about this subject when I lived in the countryside. The essence of Chinese medicine is profound, and Western medicine advances with the times. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to harmony with the world and makes slow progress, while Western medicine aims to eliminate problems at the microscopic level and conducts thorough treatments. The methods are different, and sometimes the effects aren’t the same either.”

Yun Xi extended her hand toward the old Madame’s wrist, then smiled and chatted as she felt her pulse.

She seemed to be chatting nonchalantly, but Mrs. Chen could see that this girl had a serious and attentive look on her face as she felt the pulse.

Her mult.i.tasking abilities were quite exemplary.

Seeing her withdraw her hand, the old Madame smiled and asked, “Girl, what have you discovered?”
