Chapter 385 - 385: Secret
“Long Shuli, you called me a b*stard! I…” He rolled up his sleeves, ready to confront her, but the realization that Long Shuli had passed away many years ago made him snort in frustration. “I’ll settle the score with her later!”
A hint of melancholy flickered in Su Yingxue’s eyes. “If you want to settle the score with my mother, you’ll probably have to do it in your next life.”
“Medical practitioners who don’t believe in ghosts and gods, where does the next life come from? It’s just a matter of reaching the underworld to see if there’s a chance to meet her again,” Saint Ruan responded nonchalantly.
He, like Su Yingxue, was surprised. “My mother left behind a set of surgical tools!”
Su Yingxue discovered that the box contained an entire set of surgical tools, arranged in three layers. There were knives of various sizes, along with scissors she had never seen before, all exquisitely crafted.
“Quick, take it to your father for surgery!” Saint Ruan urged.
However, Su Yingxue hesitated. “I can cut open a rabbit’s body, suture it, and even study its internal organs, but I’ve never dissected a human body, especially not my father’s…”
“What’s the worst that could happen to your father? At most, he’ll die. Moreover, if you don’t cut him open, does that mean he doesn’t have to die?” Saint Ruan, waving his fan elegantly, seemed indifferent because it was not his father.
Yet, as Su Yingxue held the surgical tools, her hesitation was palpable.
She dared not.
She would never undertake something without certainty.
Saint Ruan stayed with her for half the night. At dawn, he yawned and said that he was going back to sleep.
Su Yingxue locked herself in the Medicine King Valley and thought alone.
The Little Ginseng floated over, and its ginseng whiskers lightly brushed against Su Yingxue’s face. “Why are you lacking in confidence? It’s just about cutting open a person’s body and taking out what’s inside. Look at you, you’ve dissected plenty of rabbits. If your father dies, we can always find another one!”
Observing that Su Yingxue’s father didn’t hold much affection for her, and she didn’t seem to love her father either.
“No, this is different!”
Su Yingxue was still holding a rabbit in her hand. Its red eyes carried a trace of timidity, making her feel complicated.
She used the rabbit to practice because she was not afraid of failure and was getting better and better each time.
However, if she was operating on a person, a living life…
No matter who he was, whether he was her father or not, she had to be responsible for him!
She was a doctor and had to be accountable for every patient!
If she couldn’t save him, she would prefer not to try!
“You have to believe in yourself! You have to believe in your mother! She’s such a powerful person. Are you going to disgrace her?” The little ginseng deliberately provoked her, even offering, “If you can’t save him, you can use me as compensation!”
“Use you?” Su Yingxue looked up, and the heaviness in her eyes turned into confusion.
The little ginseng floated in the air. “My original form can save a person, but 1 won’t be here. If you want me to save your father, I won’t refuse. Who asked me to be yours?”
From the first day, it entered Su Yingxue’s body, its life had merged with hers. Su Yingxue could use any means to make it save anyone.
However, this was a secret. It wouldn’t disclose it to anyone with malicious intentions.
But Su Yingxue wasn’t like that.
Hence, it openly shared the information as a testament to her confidence..
