229 228 Who’s healing you secretly?

That day, Old master Lu’s attending doctor looked for Lu Qing and asked him if he had found a new doctor for Old master Lu.

Lu Qing was confused. “My grandfather was being treated in your hospital. Why would I go to another doctor? Did something happen to grandpa’s body? But… he’s gotten much better recently.”

“I’m only asking you this because his condition has improved.”

The attending doctor showed Lu Qing the recent examination reports, “Look at these indicators. They are almost at the normal level. Moreover, the old chief’s appetite has obviously increased recently, and he’s in much better spirits.”

“I can tell.” Lu Qing looked at the report, “But I can guarantee that I didn’t find any other doctor for Grandpa. Could it be that your treatment plan was effective?”

The doctor-in-charge was a man of integrity, and would not take the credit if it was not his. Furthermore, Chief Lu trusted him, and he could not let him down.

“No. As you can see, our hospital’s treatment plan is only to extend old chief Lu’s life. Moreover, his condition has only been getting worse and worse. We wanted to change the treatment plan, but we didn’t change it after his condition improved. I’m sure the treatment we’re using can only extend one’s life. I’ve already made this clear to you at the beginning of the treatment.”

Lu Qing knew that the doctor was telling the truth. When they first arrived at the hospital, the doctor had already explained that his grandfather’s body was not suitable for Western treatment. On the contrary, traditional Chinese therapy was more beneficial for his body.

However, for some reason, his grandfather was very resistant to Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy and insisted on using Western medicine as the sole treatment.

They couldn’t come to a decision. Moreover, Lu Qing couldn’t find a good Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to treat his grandfather. So, he had to take a step back and use Western medicine.

“Let’s go and ask Grandpa. We won’t be able to get the answer even if we keep guessing.”

The two of them went in to ask old master Lu and happened to see him eating a brown pill the size of a finger.

“Grandpa, what are you eating? Why haven’t I seen it before?” Lu Qing asked curiously.

Old master Lu showed him the pill. “This is a tonic that the Zhuang family gave me. I thought it tasted good, so I ate one but I found it delicious, so I continued eating it.” He took out the instruction manual that he had written.

“It looks like a special tonic; even the instruction manual was written with a writing brush.”

The attending doctor was very interested when he saw the pill. “Old Chief, can I please have a look at it?”

“Sure.” Old master Lu handed it to him. “Don’t worry, this is from third young master Zhuang. With his status, he doesn’t need to harm an old man like me.”

The attending doctor didn’t mean that, but it wasn’t the time to explain.

He pinched the pill open and sniffed it. It was indeed very fragrant and appetising. Although he couldn’t smell the ingredients, as a doctor, he had some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. He could basically judge that this pill was beneficial and harmless.

“This may be one of the reasons for the old General’s recovery. There is another treatment in Chinese medicine, which is acupuncture. Acupuncture usually goes along with a diet regime. This pill may be the person who also gave you acupuncture. Perhaps someone has already performed acupuncture on you…” The attending doctor suggested.

Old master Lu couldn’t believe it. He said agitatedly, “How is that possible? Who did this?”

Lu Qing held him down, “Grandpa, don’t be so agitated. Let’s hear what the doctor has to say.”

The attending doctor said sincerely, “I’ve talked to young master Lu previously. Your body is already weak and the damages have already been done. Western medicine can cure the symptoms but only traditional Chinese medicine can better make up for your loss. However, you have been against it, so we can only develop a Western medicine plan for you.”

“I know.” Old master Lu was well aware of this. He didn’t believe in Chinese medicine, which was why he refused to use it.

“Now that someone has given you acupuncture and diet therapy without you knowing, it’s clear that traditional Chinese medicine therapy is beneficial. For the sake of your health, we’d recommend you try Chinese medicine again.

“Of course, we’re not trying to promote our Chinese medicine. After all, our Chinese medicine isn’t at the level of the person who’s treating you.”

Before Old master Lu could reject him, Lu Qing said, “Grandpa, just try it. Acupuncture will definitely be more comfortable than all the injections and infusions that you’re having. Look at your arm. There are needle marks and bruises all over it. As your grandson, my heart aches for you. Nothing is more important than your life, right?”

Old master Lu looked at his young grandson and chose to compromise. “Alright, let’s try it.”
