Chapter 503 - Chapter 503: Chapter 510: Guessing Who it Is (2/2)

Han Yu’s expression grew increasingly distressed as he listened; his wife was actually this ill, and furthermore…

Feeling the chill emanating from Han Yu, the old doctor knew the young man was worried sick and reassured him: “However, don’t worry too much. While my medical skills are limited and I can’t fully cure your wife, I do have some assurance in stabilizing her condition for the time being. I’ve prescribed medicine, and I had that brute brew it for your wife to drink. If that brute really follows my advice and finds a doctor in the city, there’s a good chance your wife can be saved, at least her life surely can be preserved.”

“Is that true?” Han Yu asked the old doctor insistently, who felt the pressure of his gaze.

“Of course, it’s true. I wrote the prescription myself, and I personally fetched the herbs overnight. Despite the man being very rude, he seemed to care about your wife. He rushed to find me to treat her, nearly costing me half my life, and he even asked for the doctor’s address. He must have taken your wife to see that doctor,” the old doctor said, then realized he might have been insensitive. After all, no husband would be pleased to hear that another man was taking such an interest in his wife.

The old doctor looked at Han Yu’s reaction and saw that he didn’t mind at all; rather, he seemed to be relieved. His impression of Han Yu improved further, thinking the young man to be quite magnanimous. It would have been a different story with most other men, who would likely have first worried about the girl’s physical well-being. Yet, it seemed that Miss Yue must have been unwilling to go along with the abduction, which would explain her current state. Now that she was in such a condition, it was best to focus on ensuring her wellbeing and put other concerns aside.

Having seen much in his life, the old doctor had learned to see things more clearly.

“Young man, I was the one who told that brute the doctor’s address. Here, I’ll write it for you; go quickly, and you might find your wife,” the old doctor volunteered, writing down the address without Han Yu having to ask. It was because of his favorable impression of him; otherwise, he could have kept quiet, and nobody would be any the wiser, or simply admit to having treated the young woman yesterday.

“Thank you very much, Doctor Hu.” Han Yu, being a perceptive man, deeply bowed to the old doctor, grateful not just for delaying his wife’s illness but also for his forthcoming information.

“Treating the sick is my duty; it’s just regrettable that my medical skills aren’t perfect, that I couldn’t completely cure your wife. I dare not accept your thanks, young man. Now, it’s more important to find your wife; here, take this address and go quickly,” the old doctor said dismissively with a wave of his hand.

Without needing to be told, Han Yu was anxious to find his wife, but he had to ask one more crucial question before leaving: “Doctor Hu, before I go, please tell me what the man who took my wife looks like, any distinguishing features?”

The old doctor slapped his forehead: “Ah, I’m getting forgetful in my old age. I haven’t told you such an important detail.”

The old doctor proceeded to describe Phantom’s appearance, manner of speaking, and other features he noticed meticulously. The more Han Yu listened, the more familiar it sounded, but he couldn’t immediately place it. Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he finally realized who this person was.
