Chapter 64 - Ning Jie (2) (1/2)

Yao Ling sat beside the boy and felt his pulse. She checked his face and particularly his tongue. She listened to the sound of his breathing and then asked Ning Jie, ”Did the doctor mention about heat?”

Ning Qing Xue was surprised with her diagnosis. It was pretty much the same as what the doctor said. ”Yes,” Ning Qing Xue truthfully answered her.

”It's characterized by the absence of aversion to cold. He must suffer from a red and painful throat. I felt that he had a rapid and floating pulse. He should drink cool and cold herbs. Did the doctor give you a prescription?” Yao Ling asked, wanting to check the prescription.

Ning Qing Xue quickly gave her the written prescription. Yao Ling checked them briefly and it was the correct one. ”This one is correct. You should probably buy them.”

”But why is there no improvement?”

”Don't worry! It takes time. With the help of the medicine, he'll be fine. Have you bought the medicine?”

Ning Qing Xue looked down in embarrassment. ”We don't have the money to buy the medicine ingredients.” She had to raise a few kids and if she bought the medicine, then her whole money would be used. How about the other kids? She was helpless. She felt that she wasn't good enough in raising them.

Yao Ling could see from Ning jie's dimmed eyes that she was actually feeling helpless. Ning jie wanted to buy the medicine, but she was pretty sure… after that, Ning jie wouldn't have the money to purchase foods for the other kids. She really wanted to know the background story of this place. However, she needed to help this little boy.

”Don't worry. I will help you out with the medicine cost. I'm pretty sure that the money that I gave you yesterday is only enough for the doctor cost, right?”

Ning Qing Xue nodded, feeling ashamed. She taught the kids not to advantage of other people's kindness, but it seemed like she was the one who did it. However… she really didn't have another choice. She only received low salary and it was bȧrėly enough to feed all the kids.

”Xiao Jie…” After calling Yao Ling, she kneeled down and bowed, ”Please help me saving Xiao Yang. This slave is ashamed, but we really have no money to buy the medicine.” Xiao Xia and Xiao Li who saw Ning jie bowed down to the pretty lady, followed her example and bowed down along with her.

Yao Ling was surprised that a seemingly proud girl such as Ning jie was begging her like this. She indeed really cared about the children and it touched her heart. She helped Ning jie up and smiled, ”Why are you bowing down like that? I already told you that I would help.”

Yao Ling pulled out her money pouch and once again gave it to Ning jie. ”Use this to buy the medicine first.” Ning jie received the money gratefully and asked Xiao Li to help her buy it. She needed to talk to her benefactor.

”This slave will pay you back later. Don't worry! I won't run away from my responsibility,” Ning Qing Xue said seriously.
