Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 572 - 575 Treating Illness

"I was thinking of leaving, too, but I couldn't resist. Sixth Brother is just too good at dangling carrots!"

"One carrot after another, he had me completely bewitched, so I stayed!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but cover his face.

What a guy. Being good at making empty promises is a real skill, one I don't possess.

"Ah, so that's how it is," Liu Ergou said. "Alright, I get it."

Hearing Liu Ergou's response, Huang Mao knew there were no more problems and stood up, ready to leave.

Watching Huang Mao's retreating back, Liu Ergou hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is your sister's illness serious?"

Huang Mao replied, "I don't know. All I know is that my sister has had a high fever for several days now, and it won't break."

"No matter what fever medicine she takes, it doesn't work. Now that I have the money, I want to take her to the hospital for an injection right away."

As soon as he heard this, Liu Ergou's brows knitted together.

A fever for several days? What kind of joke is this? Generally speaking, a person could suffer brain damage from a high fever that lasts just one day. This kid's sister has been burning up for several days. She must be slow-cooked by now!

At this thought, Liu Ergou immediately stood up and walked outside.

"Let's go, I'll go with you," he said as he walked. "Your sister's condition is quite serious."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it alone, so I'll go with you!"

Hearing Liu Ergou's words, an expression of disbelief appeared on Huang Mao's face.

He couldn't help but ask, "Why... why are you helping me?"

Without turning his head, Liu Ergou replied, "Why? Because I'm a doctor!"

"Besides, I'm not helping you; I'm helping your sister!"

"Alright, enough talk. Let's hurry!"

With that, Liu Ergou grabbed Huang Mao, pulled him outside, and pushed him into the passenger seat, telling him to give directions. He then started the car and sped off, following Huang Mao's instructions.

「A moment later.」

Under Huang Mao's guidance, Liu Ergou drove to an area filled with single-story houses. The sight of the densely packed bungalows was momentarily dazzling. But Huang Mao knew the way, continuously instructing Liu Ergou, "Turn left, turn right, go straight."

Eventually, after getting turned around until he was dizzy, Liu Ergou finally arrived at Huang Mao's home. He saw that Huang Mao lived in a small, dilapidated bungalow of only about twenty square meters. A closer look revealed cracks near the foundation.

This house is practically a deathtrap, Liu Ergou worried. Will it collapse in the next second?

Before he could dwell on it, Huang Mao had already jumped out of the car, quickly unlocked the door, and rushed inside. Liu Ergou parked the car and followed close behind.

As soon as he entered, Liu Ergou saw Huang Mao standing by a bed, shouting at a little girl lying on it.

"Meimei! Meimei! Wake up, I'm back!"

"Wake up! Your brother is back!"

However, no matter how much Huang Mao called out, the little girl's eyes remained tightly shut, and she didn't stir at all. Seizing the opportunity, Liu Ergou took a closer look and immediately stepped forward, pushing Huang Mao aside. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Alright, stop shouting!"

"Look at how high your sister's fever is! You could probably boil a kettle on her forehead. Now get out of the way!"

Without giving Huang Mao a chance to respond, Liu Ergou moved forward, unbuttoned the little girl's clothes, took out a silver needle, and inserted it into her body.

Seeing this, Huang Mao thought Liu Ergou was trying to harm his sister and immediately screamed at him.

"What are you doing!"

"Let go of my sister! If you have a problem, take it out on me!"

With that, Huang Mao scrambled forward, charging at Liu Ergou.

Seeing Huang Mao in this state, Liu Ergou had no patience for him. He simply lifted his other hand and poked him gently in the chest. Huang Mao immediately felt his breathing become labored and his body go limp, collapsing to the floor. He was completely powerless, but he hadn't lost consciousness.

Liu Ergou then said, "Kid, have you never seen acupuncture before? I'm using it to bring your sister's fever down. If it doesn't break soon, she could end up with brain damage!"

As he spoke, Liu Ergou flicked the silver needle with his finger.

The needle immediately began to buzz.

The sight left Huang Mao, still lying on the ground, completely dumbfounded. Liu Ergou seized the opportunity to channel a thread of True Qi into the little girl's body through the silver needle.

As the True Qi entered her body, the feverish girl's temperature began to drop at an incredible rate.

Five or six minutes later, the girl's stubborn fever had completely subsided, and her temperature returned to normal.

Liu Ergou then withdrew the silver needle and sat to the side, waiting patiently.

About half an hour later, the girl slowly opened her eyes.

In a barely audible whisper, she said, "Brother, you..."

However, before she could finish, Liu Ergou cut her off.

"Be quiet!"

Saying this, he picked up the girl and began to examine her carefully. After the check-up, he gently pressed a sleep acupoint on her, and in the next second, the girl fell into a deep sleep.

After finishing, Liu Ergou grabbed Huang Mao from the floor.

"Your sister is truly blessed!" he said to Huang Mao.

"She had a high fever for several days, yet miraculously, nothing is wrong with her. She's just extremely weak!"

"Take the money I gave you and buy some milk powder for your sister. She can eat now. Go on, hurry!"

With that, Liu Ergou tapped Huang Mao's chest.

The next second, Huang Mao felt his breathing become smooth again and strength return to his limbs. Soon, he was able to stand steadily on his own. The first thing he did was rush to his sister's side to check on her. After confirming that she was better, he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Watching Huang Mao, Liu Ergou was about to say something when the young man suddenly burst into heartbreaking tears. This left Liu Ergou at a loss, unsure what to do.

"Hey, uh, don't cry!" Liu Ergou said, flustered.

"This isn't the time for tears. You should quickly go get your sister..."

However, before Liu Ergou could finish, Huang Mao suddenly stood up, walked in front of him, and dropped to his knees with a thud.

Then, he kowtowed three times, his head hitting the floor with force.

"Brother Gou, thank you for saving my sister's life!" he said between kowtows.

"I, Li Dajiang, have no way to repay you, but if you'll have me, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you!"
