144 Between Life And Death (1/2)
Everyone's eyes were concentrated on the colorfully dressed middle aged man, who happened to be a famous miracle doctor in the medical field, Chen Mu. His sudden interruption made the doctor's eyes glow with hope.
The Huang's were still dressed in their pajamas when they got there and Nana quickly explained the situation that Chen Mu had contacted them after hearing about Ya Nuo's condition. Chen Mu quickened his pace and went into the emergency room to give Ya Nuo a thorough check himself.
After half an hour later, he walked out with a heavy atmosphere and creases on his forehead. Everyone surrounded him, anticipating an answer. He sighed, ”The situation is worse than it seems. Although the medical reports indicate that everything is healthy with her body, her condition is beyond what medical technology can do for her. She's been set up with a Gu.”
Before anyone asked anything, he continued, ”If anyone here hasn't heard of Gu, it is a type of sorcery spell, curse or poison. It may seem unbelievable for these things to exist, but it does. Being a doctor for many years, I've visited several countries and explored countless villages. Gu is one of the most traditional ways of torturing and cursing someone. I can show you the evidence that I found on Ya Nuo, but her life is at stake right now.”
Mother Yang squeezed her husband's sweaty hand tightly, ”No need for evidence! I trust you! What will happen to her? What do we need to do to cure her? Please tell us!”
Chen Mu rubbed his forehead, ”This type of Gu is one of the deepest and entangling life Gu's. Once the victim had been poisoned, it is difficult to cure unless we figure out who the perpetrator is and the master who helped the person set such a vicious curse. Her current condition is stuck between life and death. She's holding onto her last breath, but once she loses it, she will die.”
Mother Yang almost lost her balance when she heard that Ya Nuo is close to death. Her face turned pale and her husband supported her by her waist. Huan Hei tried to remain calm as Ya Nuo is still alive at the moment, ”How do we look for the perpetrator? Is there some way to find them? Will Ya Nuo be okay after we find them?”
Chen Mu locked his fingers together and looked at the crowd with confident eyes, ”On Ya Nuo's back, there is a dark mark that symbolizes the binding Gu contract. The perpetrator will have the same mark on the same location as Ya Nuo's mark. Once you find out who is cursing her, I have an acquaintance who is highly skilled in reversing these Gu's. But whether Ya Nuo has a strong will to fight it, that depends on fate.”
”Do you have any other information we could use?” Huan Hei questioned for further details so he could narrow down the suspects.
”Gu affects both the perpetrator and victim. In order for the Gu to perform with such great effect in such a short time, the perpetrator must have given up their life force or Qi. If anyone around you had been aging incredibly fast lately, you might want to look into that person. If the Gu is reversed, the perpetrator will suffer twice the amount. I will contact the acquaintance of mine and have him set a protection charm on Ya Nuo for the time being, but this charm will last at most three days.”
”Can we take a look at her right now?” Huan Hei insists on seeing her and looking at the mark. Just a few days ago, they were trying on their wedding outfits and joking with each other. She was so lively and smiling at him. Chen Mu nodded, allowing them to go into the emergency room a few people at a time.
When it was Huan Hei's turn to go in, they let him go in there alone. He walked up to the girl who was sleeping deeply on the bed. He didn't know where he should or could touch after hearing the descriptions of when she was admitted to the hospital.
