Chapter 32 - Hope of Recovery (2/2)

her husband was still the young master of the Jiang family, and subject to no small amount of scrutiny.

Tang Qiu submitted the translated documents to a pleasantly surprised Professor Sun. She had completed the task better than he had expected, and ahead of schedule, too.

He seemed satisfied enough, so Tang Qiu dared to venture, “Professor Sun, I have a friend who’s been sick for a long time. I was wondering if I could ask you about his chances of recovery.”

“Please, go ahead,” Professor Sun said magnanimously. He was clearly in a good mood.

Tang Qiu wasted no time in showing him the medical information she had obtained from He Lei, and recounting the list of Jiang Shaocheng’s medicine.

Professor Sun specialized in traditional medicine, with a wealth of experience and exposure at his disposal. He also had his own unique methods of combating illnesses which were known to be tricky or difficult to pinpoint. “His condition isn’t serious,” he replied when she was done. “As long as he gets the

right treatment and is in reasonably good health, it won’t take long for him to recover.”

“Really?” It was almost too good to be true.

“You doubt my word?” Professor Sun’s displeasure was evident.

“No! I’m just happy for my friend,” Tang Qiu explained quickly, in an attempt to placate his temper. “‘m sorry, Professor.”

Professor Sun snorted coldly, his easygoing manner gone. “Asking me for help without so much as offering me a cup of tea? Don’t you understand the rules of courtesy at all?”

‘Tang Qiu rushed to pour him a cup of tea. Only then did Professor Sun continue. “What is your friend like normally?” he asked slowly. “What medicine has he taken before?”

“He can’t move his legs. He didn’t even react to having hot water poured on them. And he… he is incapable of engaging in intercourse. He can’t muster a substantial erection.” She passed him the list of medicine she had gotten from He Lei. “This is the medication he’s been given.”

Professor Sun ran his eyes over the list. “What nonsense is this?” he asked sharply. “The condition you described can’t be cured by taking medicine. With injuries that severe, he can only be nursed back to recovery. He needs to undergo acupuncture and therapy, with his family by his side to support him

and give him hope to boost his spirits. Only then can he properly recover and return to full health…”

Tang Qiu nodded, silently absorbing everything he threw at her. He Lei had told her Jiang Shaocheng’s medicine was administered by doctors from overseas, adjusting it according to his condition. Likely, he had needed them in the past, but not anymore.

Besides, hadn’t Professor Sun said there was hope for her husband? She would continue to stay by his side and devote herself to learning about acupuncture-all so she could heal him one day…
