Read Novel I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 585
“I can tell, of course! Have you forgotten that I have medical knowledge? The Huo family is a family of medical practitioners.” As Huo Ling spoke, she walked over to Fu
Ling and placed her fingers on the latter’s pulse. “The whole time I was sitting next to
you today, I sensed something wasn’t right. Your breathing doesn’t seem very stable. Have you been injured before?”
At that moment, the expression on Huo Ling’s face made her seem much older than her years. She looked grave as she felt Fu Ling’s pulse, forming a diagnosis. “Your body went through a lot after you suffered a miscarriage, and because you didn’t receive proper treatment back then, you never fully recovered. On top of that, the surgery was simple and crude. Am I right? Your body couldn’t take it at all. Fu Ling, you’ve been too careless about taking care of your body.”
Huo Ling sounded so young and gentle that a shudder ran through Fu Ling’s body. Isn’t this just a little too ridiculous? I can’t believe I’m actually getting told off by this young girl. Yet, she’s much more knowledgeable than me. Indeed, I suffered a miscarriage back then. My body went through a lot of trauma. I had my surgery at a small hospital, and it nearly cost me my life. After finally escaping the clutches of death,
I was so overwhelmed with grief that I left this place. In truth, it wasn’t that I didn’t bother to care about my body at the time, but because I didn’t have the financial means to do so after leaving. After that…
Fu Ling could not bear to think about what happened after that. She glanced at Huo
Ling and saw that the latter looked worried. With a somewhat solemn expression, Huo Ling said, “I may be quite skilled, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to cure you.” “That’s fine,” Fu Ling responded with a smile. “I have no plans to marry or have children, so it doesn’t matter.”
However, Huo Ling was displeased at Fu Ling’s response. “How can you say that, Fu Ling? Our body is a gift from our parents. You should cherish it instead of harming it like that. Think of how devastating it’d be for your parents if they found out. And your brother, too! I can tell that he cares a lot about you.”
Fu Ling raised her eyebrows in surprise, not expecting Huo Ling to say such things at her young age. “Hmm, my brother is very good to me indeed.”
“Since I’m here now, you shouldn’t give up on treatment. How about this? I’ll prescribe some medicine that you can take in the meantime. When my brother arrives, I’ll get him to check on your condition. He’s the best. His medical skills are way better than mine. There’s no one he can’t cure unless he was unwilling to do so.”
“Oh? Is he that amazing?” Fu Ling asked with a chuckle.
She could hear the genuine admiration in Huo Ling’s voice. It was something that could not be faked.
Huo Ling nodded solemnly. “He is! I need his help with Ms. Qianan’s and the others’ illnesses too. All right, then. You should get some rest. I’ll gather the herbs and prepare your medicine tomorrow morning. I promise to help nurse you back to health while you’re here.”
“Thank you.”
Huo Ling is right. My body is a gift from my parents. No matter the condition of my body right now, it’s still a gift from them, and I shouldn’t casually cause it any harm.
Huo Ling woke up bright and early the following morning. She went straight to Fu Chengyan, told him about Fu Ling’s condition, and handed him a prescription. “Mr. Handsome, this is the prescription for Fu Ling. When you have the time, make sure to gather the herbs for her. Her body went through a lot but didn’t receive the proper treatment.”
Fu Chengyan’s gaze darkened. He put the prescription away and said as he stood up, “Okay. I’ll get the herbs. I have some matters to attend to today, so I’ll be heading out. I’ll leave them under your care, then.”
Patting her chest, Huo Ling declared confidently, “Don’t worry. Leave them to me. You go on out, Mr. Handsome. Rest assured that I’ll take good care of the ladies.”
Fu Chengyan’s lips curved into a smile. “Okay.”
Fu Chengyan and Li Heng left together. The latter had not been to Prosperous Group in a long time, so he was heading there that day to take a look. As for the former, he was visiting Shengyuan Group that day. Hence, the two men got into their respective cars at the door.
Fu Chengyan called Su Shaoqing first. After returning the previous night, the latter had been cooped up in his villa the whole time without stepping a foot outside.
Su Shaoqing was feeling hungover after drinking all night. He picked up his phone impatiently when he heard it ringing and squinted at the screen to make out the caller ID. However, he could not see clearly at all.
His frown deepened as he answered the call. “Hello?”
He sounded slightly hoarse, and it was clear from his voice that he had been drinking.
Fu Chengyan furrowed his brows. “Where are you?”
Su Shaoqing let out a belch and asked in a drunken stupor, “Who are you? What does that have anything to do with you?”
Fu Chengyan’s gaze turned cold, and he asked frostily, “Are you drunk?”
