96 Thank you for Everything (1/2)

Listening to her words, Li Yang had completely mistaken them for a case of 'blind bravery' it was true that you do not fear what you do not know, but once you know you should learn how to fear.

”You should reconsider.” He told her.

”I've already considered it.” Xue'er stated in all seriousness.

”I believe you, but why do you risk so much for someone you don't really know?” To him, this was a mystery of why some could be so selfless to put themselves behind others.

”Is that what you call it? I just follow my mind.” Xue'er answered completely perplexed. She never understood the concept of self-sacrifice either. The thought was as perplexing to her as it seemed to him.

”Never mind, I can try to ask around for you, maybe I'll find something.” He did not promise her anything, just like any physician would not promise a miraculous return to health.

”Thank you.” Xue'er spoke with sincerity.

As he watched her leave, he noticed that her steps were normal and she did not seem to be a person who had just been in severe pain from the poison that had ravaged her body. She seemed to be on a delightful stroll in the gardens. He shrugged it off as a high tolerance to pain.

Getting back to his patients, he attempted to check their pulses again. There was no improvement as predicted. This case was quite strange. No matter what he tried, the situation seemed to continue to deteriorate at an even pace. It was as though life and death had already been determined from the very beginning, and as a human, what right did he have to try to change that? Even his own fate could not have been prevented.

Thinking till here, he rubbed his temples with his fingers, in hopes of relieving his headache. There was still a long way to go.

Meanwhile, Huo momo was resting within the embroidery shop, her leg was slightly limping as she walked down the creaky stairs, but otherwise, her health was decent. Those eyes that had been sharp for a decade showed no signs of weakness as her faded dress dragged on the floor.

Today, she had gotten a letter from a little boy who was roaming the streets. She did not know who it was from as she had not made contact with anyone else all her years within the border town.

If everything written on the letter said was true, then she would soon have to leave to return. To where she once came before the new year's festival came to an end. But what would become of Xue'er once she left?
