Chapter 19: The Empress’ Game

Dr Hepburn was the leader of the medical field. He was even the youngest Nobel Prize winner in physiology and medicine in the world!

He was world-renowned!

He had created countless medical miracles and numerous national leaders had been cured under his care.

It could be said that Dr Hepburn was the pinnacle of the medical field. There was simply no one else who could hold a torch to him.

But this man was extremely arrogant. After all, he was a genius. Having a temper was a given.

There were so many people willing to pay him hundreds of millions of dollars just to conduct a surgery, but he would not even want to meet them.

Besides, he was indifferent to wealth and fame. At the age of 27, he had already retired from the medical field. Some said it was to research and develop a new drug.

From then on, there was not a single trace of him at all.

Who would expect that Lu Hualiang managed to invite him to conduct Xia Weibao’s surgery!

If Hepburn were to personally do the surgery, even if Xia Weibao’s injury would not fully heal, it would be at least 70 to 80 percent recovered.

Just the thought of Xia Weibao possibly defying death made Xiang Minhai’s expression darken.

But the thought of Hepburn himself making a trip to his hospital made him shiver with fear.

Idols are present in every industry. And Hepburn, who was already at the top of the medical field, was undoubtedly the idol of all doctors.

“Hurry! Hurry and go welcome him!”

Xiang Minhai seemed agitated.

He was planning to see his useless son on the way. He wondered if his son had finally given up on traditional chinese medicine after witnessing Xia Weibao’s tragic situation in the past three days.

In the VIP ward, Xia Weibao lay on the bed with nothing to do.

She was almost bored to tears.

After lying around for three days, she was rotting away.

On the sofa, Xiang Chu half-kneeled on the coffee table, studying the prescription.

It was as if he was holding something more sacred than the holy bible.

Suddenly, he took out a piece of tissue and agitatedly wiped his saliva, before throwing it into the trash can.

Xia Weibao quietly shifted her gaze from the pile of waste paper in the trash can.

She had seen people who salivated at the sight of roasted chicken, but never one who had salivated at the sight of a prescription.

And he had done this for three days…

The more Xiang Chu looked at the prescription, the more he felt that Xia Weibao was a reincarnation of a miracle doctor. It would be a lifetime of regret for him if he did not manage to get Xia Weibao as a mentor.

So he aggressively leaped to the bedside. “Master, please accept me.”

Xia Weibao’s gaze fell on her pale arm. Because she had been hugging Lu Hualiang, her hand had not been burnt.

At this moment, two claws full of saliva grabbed onto her precious jade-like arms.

A wave of disgust ran through Xia Weibao. “Let go!”

Could he get any more disgusting?

“No, I won’t let go. If Master won’t take me as a disciple, I won’t let go!”

That crystal clear liquid made Xia Weibao numb. With a swat of her right hand, the silver needle flew out and landed directly on Xiang Chu’s acupuncture point.

She had let Xiang Chu prepare this silver needle. As a miracle doctor, how could she not have any silver needles?

She had expected Xiang Chu to get angry upon being pricked by the needles. However, he unexpectedly became more agitated.

It was as though his whole body became rabid.

Oh!

Master used her needle to prick me. Her acupuncture skills are excellent!

“Master, please teach me your medical skills. I can be your slave if you want.”

Xia Weibao: “…”

There was no way of saving this child.

“I don’t accept disciples.”

She had to stand firm and not easily accept disciples. Even if the gods came to acknowledge her as a master, there would still be no grounds for any discussion.

Xiang Chu immediately became like an abandoned stray dog, with a drooping head and tearful eyes. He was downright pitiful.

Xia Weibao could not even be bothered with him. “I’m so bored. Is there anything to relieve my boredom?”

“Master, do you want to play a game?”

“A game?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

Xiang Chu took out his mobile phone and opened the game “King’s Glory” that he had been playing recently. “I think this is rather interesting. I wonder if you want to try playing it.”
