Chapter 507: Can Huo Yao Give It A Shot?

Old Mr. Pei immediately looked furious when he heard what Pei Feng said about the B class medication.

He looked at Fang Chen and Lin Shuwen before he turned to look at his son with clear disappointment. “Where have all your years of learning Chinese medicine gone?”

Pei Feng frowned. He spoke after he composed himself. “Big Bro said that some poison is impossible to detect through traditional tests. Also, this is B grade medicine, so we could just try and see if it works.”

He paused for a few seconds before he continued. “Shouldn’t we try it rather than waiting aimlessly?”

“How dare you argue?” Old Mr. Pei was so angry that he shook.

If everyone ended up having such an attitude towards medicine, there was no use having doctors around.

Pei Feng pursed his lips and wanted to say more, but he stopped when he caught Pei Rong staring at him.

Pei Rong did not expect his little brother to blurt out this without any consideration. Although it was not entirely untrue, doctors had to be careful with their patients since any mistake could end up with serious consequences.

Pei Rong put the antidote back into the bottle before he turned to look at Lin Shuwen and Fang Chen. “Sorry about that. My father is right. Since we don’t know the cause of his illness, we should not recklessly give him medication.”

“There’s no need to apologize. I know your brother only said so out of concern for the patient’s well-being.” Lin Shuwen watched as Pei Rong replaced the pill and felt somewhat disappointed.

It was not like Lin Shuwen had a choice. He was keenly aware that medicine could not be taken recklessly, but he was desperate and ready to try anything.

“Why don’t I run another blood test on him?” Pei Rong pondered before he decided.

“Sure.” Lin Shuwen could only agree. Although he did not fully grasp why Fang Chen’s condition had anything to do with poison, he did not probe. Instead, he turned to look at Fang Chen and consoled him. “Don’t worry. I’m sure we will find a way.”

Fang Chen seemed to be completely unperturbed like he had accepted the fact that he would die. He said hoarsely, “It’s fine. Go and bring the car around.”

Lin Shuwen opened his eyes wide. “How can we leave? Are you giving up?”

Fang Chen raised his hand and looked at his boney and shriveled-up hand. The dried skin looked particularly sinister. He clenched his fists gently and went quiet for a few seconds before he said, “Now that things have come to this, there’s no point bearing hope.”

“But...” Lin Shuwen wanted to say more, but Fang Chen looked determined. He realised that Fang Chen’s mind was made up, so he sighed deeply. “Then I will bring the car over.”

Old Mr. Pei called Lin Shuwen back just as he was about to walk past him. “Now do you mind letting this friend of mine give it a shot?”

From the moment they entered the guest room, Old Mr. Pei had been waiting for Pei Rong to finish his examination since Lin Shuwen was insistent about letting him do it. He had waited patiently till now so as not to give them a bad impression of Huo Yao.

The instant Lin Shuwen heard Old Mr. Pei’s suggestion, he was briefly stunned before he finally recalled the earlier matter. He raised his eyes to look at the young woman standing beside Old Mr. Pei, whom he had deliberately ignored all this time.

Even Pei Rong was incapable of diagnosing his illness. Was this little lass capable of helping them?
