Chapter 240: Subsequent Treatment
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qian Dashan held onto the hope that Qin Zhenzhen would continue treating his son. His reasons were twofold: to ensure the continuation of Qin Zhenzhen’s effective treatment and to alleviate the burden of medical expenses.
However, Qin Zhenzhen’s refusal was resolute, leaving him in a quandary. He grappled with the dilemma of whether to press Qin Zhenzhen to stay or not. On one hand, he didn’t want to coerce her, but on the other hand, he feared his son’s full recovery might be compromised without her expertise, and he also worried about the financial implications of the treatment.
Qin Zhenzhen shot a pointed look at Qian Dashan, intentionally disregarding his presence. She was acutely aware of his intentions.
She believed in the adage that stated, “A leopard can’t change its spots.” Ms. Lin and Qian Dashan were individuals of such malevolence that they transcended the ordinary villains like Su Bin. Their intrinsic nature seemed irredeemable, even worse than Su Bin’s villainy.
Qin Zhenzhen had never entertained the notion of reforming them. Just as she initially had no aspirations to change Su Bin; her sole objective was to escape. She recognized that altering a person’s character was a formidable task.
Yet, the course of events was unpredictable. Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but feel that Su Bin might not be beyond redemption entirely. She believed that his descent into wickedness might have been influenced by his traumatic experiences. As her perspective shifted, her original intent faded into the background. Unconsciously, she began contemplating ways to rescue Su Bin from his distorted worldview.
Addressing the doctor, Qin Zhenzhen remarked, “This situation shouldn’t be new to you. Treat her in whatever manner you deem appropriate.”
With her statement made, she was on the verge of departure. She ardently wished to avoid Qian Dashan’s presence and gaze.
As for Qian Dashan’s actions, she held the sentiment of indifference. He could proceed as he pleased.
The doctor acknowledged her words, saying, “Ultimately, it’s the decision of the patient’s family. If they choose not to continue treatment here, we won’t impose.”
The doctor was acutely perceptive of Qian Dashan’s motives, deliberately addressing him in this manner.
His intention was clear — he wanted to communicate that Qian Dashan’s money was not required nor desired by their clinic.
In response, Qian Dashan retorted, “Who says I’m considering leaving this clinic? My niece-in-law’s recommendation is to avoid moving the patient. Where else would we even consider going?”
Shifting his focus to Qin Zhenzhen, Qian Dashan inquired, “Nephew-in-law, based on your understanding, what should be our next steps? Could you share your thoughts with the doctor here?”
“My foremost concern is Erhu’s well-being. Observing his current state, he’s likely enduring a severe headache.”
Given the circumstances, the onset of a headache was virtually inevitable. The head wound he sustained was substantial, and the resultant concussion guaranteed suffering.
When a brain pathway was obstructed, unceasing headaches were the norm; akin to a persistent thorn. The pain was ceaseless, inducing bouts of dizziness that varied in intensity.
Qin Zhenzhen had provided Qian Erhu with water, mitigating some of the pain. Nonetheless, she understood that the ache would persist and possibly escalate with time.
Qin Zhenzhen was well aware that the pain-alleviating effects of the spiritual water typically endured for a span of four to six hours.
Although her intention was to avoid any undue trouble, the doctor posed a genuine inquiry.
“Miss Qin, Qian Dashan does make a valid point. The Jiang Family boasts exceptional medical expertise, and there likely exists an optimal approach to treat this ailment.”
“If it’s convenient for you, we’d greatly appreciate your guidance on potential treatment methods. However, if that’s not feasible, there’s no pressure whatsoever.”
The doctor’s aspiration was to gain insight from the Jiang Family’s knowledge and expertise.
Qin Zhenzhen didn’t dismiss the idea outright.
“The subsequent treatment can be approached from three simultaneous angles.”
“To begin, pain relief can be achieved using biancaea sappan, artemisia herb, and stem bark…”
The doctor picked up a pen and paper, meticulously jotting down the names and dosages of the prescribed medications.
“As for the second approach, acupuncture can be implemented, targeting specific points such as the temples and the indentation at the base of the skull…”
