I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night-Chapter 395 - The Past

395 The Past

Doctor Luo’s flawless response exasperated Kong Xunqi, who stared at Doctor Luo for a long time before saying, “Senior Brother, are you still unwilling to forgive me?”

“Don’t!” Doctor Luo suddenly took two steps back and waved his hand repeatedly as he said to Kong Xunqi, “I can’t afford to be addressed as that. I’m afraid you’ve mistaken me for someone else!

I’m a straightforward person and won’t beat around the bush.

I really don’t know how to treat that patient. If I had a way, why would I leave him in the lurch?”

Doctor Luo’s rejection made Kong Xunqi swallow his next words.

He sighed, but was still unwilling to give up. He looked at Doctor Luo and said, “You said that you can’t treat him, but you didn’t say that no one in your medical center can treat him.

Your backer should have a way!”

“Mr. Kong, what are you saying?” Doctor Luo narrowed his eyes at Kong Xunqi. He wasn’t flustered at all and he said with a calm smile, “I’m just a doctor. What the higher-ups think is up to them.

For example, will the doctors below you ask you every few days if you know how to treat this illness or that illness?”

Despite seeing that Doctor Luo was unwilling to relent, Kong Xunqi was still unwilling to give up and continued to beat around the bush, but the outcome was no different from before. Doctor Luo kept rambling and was unwilling to answer him directly.

In the end, he could only leave.

After sending Kong Xunqi off, Doctor Luo stood up and walked into the inner room, where he saw Lin Sui, who had been sitting inside for an unknown period of time.

“I didn’t know that Kong Xunqi is actually your Junior Brother.” Lin Suisui put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Doctor Luo with interest as she asked curiously.

“We’re not.” Doctor Luo didn’t hide anything and simply told her about his past.

“When we were young, we did study medicine under the same mentor. He started out late, but he was very diligent and hardworking, so our mentor liked him very much. However, there were some rules.

For example, people like Mr. Kong, whose family ran a medical center of their own, usually weren’t accepted as inner sect disciples.

However, when he entered the sect, he hid his identity.

Later on, between me and him, my mentor chose the smarter and more capable Junior Brother as his personal disciple. He hoped that he could learn something useful and become a sect master in the future.

However, three months after my Junior Brother became his personal disciple, another man from the sect suddenly came to visit. He actually recognized my Junior Brother as the young master of the Kong family, which had a medical center.

When he saw that his identity couldn’t be hidden, he had no choice but to reveal his identity.

At that time, our mentor was enraged. Although he was expelled from the sect, this blow of being deceived still affected our mentor’s health greatly.

“My mentor wasn’t in good health to begin with. During those two years, he tried his best to teach me everything, but when he saw that the Kong family’s medical center had introduced a pill with the same formula as our sect’s medicine, my mentor was so angry that his condition worsened again. In the end, he didn’t survive that winter.”

Doctor Luo explained it very briefly, but Lin Suisui still understood what he meant.

In order to obtain secret prescription formulas from Doctor Luo’s sect, Kong Xunqi hid his identity and infiltrated his sect to study medicine.

Because Doctor Luo’s mentor cherished talent, he chose Kong Xunqi, who had entered the sect later but was more talented, as his personal disciple and gave up on the more kind-hearted eldest disciple.

In the end, he realized that the successor of the sect was actually a thief.

He was a thief who wanted to steal the sect’s secret and caused the entire sect’s downfall!

It was no wonder that the old man was so angry that he fell ill.

“Actually, my mentor was angry that he kept saying that he had let my mentor down and wanted to repent, but a lot of herbal prescriptions still appeared in the Kong family’s medical center.

“That was the hard work of multiple generations of our sect members, but…”

Doctor Luo sighed. Even if he didn’t say it, he knew that Lin Sui, who was also a doctor, could empathize with him.

How could he be nice to such a person?

“Alright, the past is in the past. Since we know what he’s like, let’s be careful in the future.” Lin Suisui smiled at Doctor Luo and said, “But we have to be more careful about who works in our medical center in the future.

Mr. Pei has already bought the shop next to our medical center. When the time comes, it will be even bigger. However, if the place is bigger, there will naturally be more people. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, I’ll have to trouble you and Yuan Niang.”

“Don’t worry. We’ll pay attention to this at all times.”

Not daring to be negligent at all, Doctor Luo nodded repeatedly.

As Lin Suisui and Doctor Luo were talking about the past, Kong Xunqi, who was sitting in the carriage, thought of his past as well.

Did he regret it? To be honest, he did.

Every night, he would dream of the expression on his mentor’s face when he found out about his identity. Every time he dreamed of it, he felt like a knife was stabbing into his chest. The pain was unbearable.

However, if there was another chance for him to choose again, he would still make the same choice.

At that time, the Kong family’s medical center was on the brink of closure. His father and grandfather were incompetent, and his uncle was eyeing the shop. If he didn’t think of a way, the Kong family’s medical center would probably fall into his uncle’s hands in the end.

It wasn’t that he didn’t care about his sect.

At that time, he had used the few recipes from his sect more than once. He wanted to give a portion of the dividends to his mentor and his sect. However, his mentor was unwilling to see him at all. When he heard his suggestion, he didn’t even let him enter the mountain again…

He didn’t understand. Even if a medical prescription was developed by generations of people, the ultimate goal was still to treat illnesses and save people!

It was just that he was using it now!

He didn’t intend to steal it for himself. He also wanted to share the dividend with his mentor, but his mentor didn’t accept it! He even said that he was greedy and despicable…

How was he despicable?

Even if a miracle doctor descended, he still had a family to take care of! Moreover, didn’t the concoction of that pill cost money? He just wanted to protect the golden signboard passed down from his ancestors and earn some money to support his family. What was wrong with that?!
