âHowâs Feng Yuâs condition now?â Seeing that Huo Xuan was frowning and refusing to speak, Mo Zhu could not help but ask.
âItâs not too good. Weâve invited many famous doctors both domestically and overseas, but we canât find out what illness he has. They only said that Feng Yu has multiple organ failure. If we donât have a good treatment plan, Iâm afraid his days are numbered.â Huo Xuan shook and raised his head as he stared at Mo Zhu.
When Mo Zhu heard Huo Xuanâs words, she stood rooted to the ground for a long time. The light from the hanging lamp shone coldly on her, making her figure look a little thin.
Seeing how worried she was, Huo Xuanâs heart softened for some reason. He took two steps forward and held Mo Zhuâs hand and comforted her softly.
âXiao Zhu, donât be too anxious. His life is not in danger for the time being. However, because of his special situation, we canât visit often. Iâll inform you in advance the next time I go over. Your medical skills are so good. With you around, it might be useful for Feng Yuâs illness.â
Pursing her lips, Mo Zhu looked back into the manâs deep eyes. She had to admit that Huo Xuanâs comfort had some effect. The girl calmed herself down again and began to calmly analyze the meaning of the manâs words.
Huo Xuan said that Feng Yuâs condition was special. Just now, he mentioned that all sorts of famous doctors both domestically and overseas had diagnosed him with the symptoms of multiple organ failure. However, there was no development in his condition. The more Mo Zhu thought about it, the more she felt that she had seen this illness somewhere before, and it was very familiar.
An idea flashed through her mind and the girl suddenly clenched her fists. This illness! Why did this illness sound so similar to her grandmotherâs illness? Both of them had multiple organ failure without any warning, and it was a condition that even she had no idea about!
When she thought of this, Mo Zhu narrowed her eyes in worry. Ever since her grandmother had fallen ill, she had spent a lot of effort to find out if the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb might have an improved effect on her grandmotherâs illness. She did not expect Feng Yu to have the same problem.
When she thought of how the two of them had braved through thick and thin together in the past, Mo Zhuâs expression froze. She secretly made up her mind. This time, no matter who released the news of the herb or which household it was in, she had to do her best to obtain it!
âIâm not in the mood to do the questions tonight. Iâll go back first. Donât forget to inform me about Feng Yu firsthand whenever you have updates.â
After saying this, Mo Zhu stopped bothering about Huo Xuan and waved her hand, walking past the man and out of the room.
She had a sleepless night.
The next morning, Mo Zhu turned off the alarm in frustration. She scratched her head and got out of bed. After a simple shower, she went downstairs to the dining room.
All sorts of breakfasts had been laid out on the table. There was a comprehensive variety of dishes and everything one could think of was there.
When Mo Zhu pulled out her seat and sat down, Huo Xuan was already sitting quietly opposite her. He had peeled two eggs for her and placed them on the plate in front of her. Seeing the girlâs spiritless and preoccupied appearance, Huo Xuan took the initiative to speak.
âAre you still thinking about Feng Yu? Donât worry too much. Seeing how spiritless you are, you definitely didnât sleep well last night. Hurry up and eat more breakfast to replenish your nutrition and energy. You have to go to school to attend class later.â
For some reason last night, Fang Ran did not return to the Huo familyâs house to rest. Now, there was only Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu in the house, so Huo Xuan did not mind his words much when he spoke. He just said whatever he thought of.
Mo Zhu sat lazily at the dining table. She picked up a piece of egg with her chopsticks and took a small bite. Then, she looked up at Huo Xuan and asked, âDo you have any good ways to earn money?â
In fact, the reason why Mo Zhu was worried the entire night was not because of Feng Yuâs condition, but because she was worried how she could successfully obtain the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. She understood her medical skills very well. If she was unable to do anything about Feng Yuâs condition, then even if Huatuo were to reincarnate, there would probably be nothing she could do.
Hence, the only thing she could do now was to work hard to earn money to get this precious medicinal herb. She could not afford to be careless or lazy in the matter of saving people!
âYou need money? Didnât I give you an unlimited black card when I saw you paying last time?â Huo Xuan looked at Mo Zhu indifferently, feeling a little surprised by the girlâs words.
âI might need to spend a huge sum of money in a few days. Iâm afraid that the limit of that card is not enough, so I want to try my best to get a sum of money for emergencies.â Mo Zhu lowered her head and swallowed a mouthful of porridge before speaking of her intention.
Huo Xuan pondered for a moment before tapping the table lightly with his finger. âHow much do you need? The Huo family has had some savings over the years, we can take it out for you first.â
Once Huo Xuan said this, Mo Zhu didnât know how to continue the conversation. She didnât expect the man to be willing to fork out the Huo familyâs entire fortune for her use. The Huo familyâs business had been doing quite well these few years. With the Huo family backing her, no matter which auction house she went to in Beijing, she would be able to receive twice the result with half the effort!
As she thought about this, the girlâs heart was filled with gratitude towards Huo Xuan.. She looked up at the manâs handsome face seriously and smiled calmly. âIâm not sure how much it will cost exactly, but Iâll definitely think of a way to pay you back!â
