Chapter 585 A Person Who Can Restrain Himself at Any Moment
"Teacher Fan, I understand you want me to perform acupuncture to treat the Madam's illness when she has an attack. But right now, I can't learn if I don't see the symptoms. When the patient has an attack, there are many sudden symptoms, and I really don't feel confident."
"Everything returns to the same root. As long as you practice and master everything I've taught you, and keep it firmly in mind, you can give her a chance to breathe."
Elder Fan was no longer in a teacher's demeanor, but was negotiating with the tone of a patient's family member pleading.
Ye Shengge's heart ached, her throat suddenly felt constricted. She stood up and walked out, not wanting her master to see the tears in her eyes.
Gu Miao quickly followed. Elder Fan saw them and thought her younger disciple was just tired and went for a walk.
Ye Shengge walked faster and faster, tears blurring her vision. She stumbled.
"Madam, be careful."
Gu Miao quickly supported Ye Shengge's arm, and only then did he see the tears on her face.
"This, this is..."
Ye Shengge raised her hand and continued walking. She needed to be alone now. She walked back to the bedroom, closed the door forcefully, and with trembling hands, locked it. Leaning against the door, her body slowly slid down.
Why was heaven so unfair? Why did it give her a chance to be reborn but not a healthy heart? How much longer did her family have to suffer? Would they only be free from pain after she died?
Elder Dang was still thinking of her when he was dying. Elder Fan, despite his old age, was still searching everywhere for a successor who could give her a glimmer of hope. Her mother had cried her eyes dry for her. Her father and elder brother had found countless doctors and experts. And Zi Yisheng quietly felt her heartbeat in countless sleepless nights.
She truly didn't know what to do or how to cooperate. She had taken countless bitter and hard-to-swallow medicines for two lifetimes. Countless needles had been inserted into her body, yet she never made a sound, fearing it would only make those around her feel more distressed.
She wanted to stop being a burden to anyone but couldn't bear to leave so many people. This kind of emotion constantly tormented her, yet she had to control herself extremely well to avoid making her heart uncomfortable. She was also very, very tired. She wanted to laugh unrestrainedly, to run freely, but most of the time she lay in bed recuperating like an old woman in twilight.
Gu Miao outside the door was going crazy. He wanted to knock, but dared not. He raised his hand, then put it down, then raised it again.
"What are you doing?"
Asen suddenly appeared behind Gu Miao, arriving like a savior.
Gu Miao quickly pulled him aside and told him everything he had seen, sweat dripping down his forehead.
"What should we do?"
"Alas, there's nothing to do. Just let Madam be alone for a while."
"But, but her body..."
"It's okay. Madam will restrain herself. This is also the most painful part for her. Think about it, a living person cannot be affected by emotions. Her ability to restrain herself is even stronger than ours who have received professional training. Anyone would go crazy if they were bottled up."
Gu Miao fell silent. The world admired Madam for her wealth and power, but who knew her pain? If she could trade it, he believed Madam would definitely be willing to exchange all she had for a healthy heart.
Giving herself half an hour, Ye Shengge stood up, supporting herself by the door. She took a deep breath, slowly walked to the bathroom, took a shower, and used ice packs to soothe her swollen eyes. She drank two cups of water from the spatial well and then smiled at the mirror. Yes, she had to smile, she absolutely had to smile.
The bedroom door opened, and Ye Shengge appeared, having changed her clothes and with her long hair slightly pinned up. Gu Miao couldn't see any sign of abnormality on her face.
"Are Master and Gou Han still in the pavilion?"
"Yes."
"Ask Aunt Zhen to prepare more food tonight."
"Okay."
Gu Miao hurried to make arrangements, with Asen following.
"Madam, I just watched Xiao Mi'er dance. She danced quite well, and she was sweating profusely but didn't mention resting. I see that Xiao Mi'er has truly grown up."
"Is the child Tong Xixi she mentioned present?"
"Uh, yes, she is. She doesn't dance as well as Xiao Mi'er."
"Absolutely don't let Xiao Mi'er hear such praise, or within three lessons she'll be whining about quitting."
"Hahahaha, alright. I'll tell everyone else to be discreet."
Ye Shengge saw her master still talking non-stop and walked over.
"Hey, why did you suddenly run off, girl? So you went to take a bath and change. Tell me, when will you change your habit of taking so many baths a day? Taking too many baths is not good for your health."
"Understood, Master. I only took one bath today."
She refilled their tea cups and quietly continued listening.
"Actually, my acupuncture skills are far inferior to my senior disciple brother's. My reputation outside is due to my fame, just occupying the title of the Gou family's heir."
Gou Han smiled wryly, but Elder Fan's eyes lit up.
"I've never heard of your senior disciple brother?"
"He was unsuccessful in his early years and liked to pursue the path of traditional Chinese medicine. The current path to survival is too limited for him. Moreover, he detests fame and fortune, so he lives in the countryside, growing herbs and conducting his own research."
"Really?"
Gou Han nodded with a smile. In fact, he was really not suited for such a heavy responsibility, mainly because he had too little time for himself.
"Give me his address, I'm going to meet him personally."
Asen quickly got paper and pen. Upon seeing the address, he whispered a few words in Elder Fan's ear.
"Take me there immediately."
"Master, it's already past four o'clock. By the time we get there, it will be evening. How about I accompany you tomorrow?"
"No, no. I might be gone for several days. After all, I need to test his depth thoroughly."
Elder Fan left Gou Han directly and departed. Asen looked at Ye Shengge, and after receiving her consent, hurried to arrange a car and people.
"I'm sorry, my master is very impatient."
"I understand. Your life is more important than anything. I have something to ask, I don't know if I should say it?"
"Please do."
Gou Han then truly looked at the person before him closely. Such a beautiful person, yet with an unhealthy body.
"I assume you are aware that heart transplant surgery exists abroad, and the success rate is quite good. You could actually consider this option."
Ye Shengge smiled and shook her head. In her previous life, even with the most advanced medical technology and information, she could never find a suitable heart, let alone now.
"I have a rare blood type."
Gou Han was surprised and regretful. Why did every difficulty appear in one person? Was this what the old saying meant by heaven envying beautiful women?
"I'm very sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up."
"It's alright. Even if you didn't bring it up, I know. After all, I also want to live longer."
"Perhaps my senior disciple brother can take over. Then, as long as you take good care of her, everything is possible."
"Yes, I believe so too."
