The Sickly General's Wife With A Spatial Ability Is Loved By All - Chapter 240

240 Relying on Each Other

Su Binglan looked at her second brother’s expression and frowned. She asked, “What happened, Wenxiu?”

When Su Wenxiu returned from the capital, Su Binglan wanted to teach him medical skills. Still, she had been busy with many things lately, so she told him to go to Hundred Herb Hospital to help whenever possible.

She wanted him to learn from others so she could teach him more at home when she was free. Of course, when she operated on Su Fengmao and Su Fenchen, she let Su Wexiu watch from the sidelines and be her assistant, which was also a form of learning.

When Su Binglan had things to do, she told Su Wenxiu to go to Hundred Herb Hospital to observe. Of course, she informed Doctor Wu about this in advance, and he had no objections.

Doctor Wu also wanted to interact more with a talented doctor like Su Binglan so he could learn more medical skills from her. Although Su Wenxiu did not become an apprentice at Hundred Herb Hospital, Doctor Wu taught him as much as he knew.

Since Su Wenxiu worked and studied hard, Doctor Wu took his teaching seriously. Moreover, the head of the Wu family also sent Doctor Wu a message, telling him to help Su Binglan more.

Even though the family did not say why, the hospital staff knew it was an order from the head family, so they had to obey. Therefore, the staff was even more polite to Su Binglan.

Previously, Su Binglan went to Doctor Wu, asking him to teach Su Wenxiu, and he readily agreed. At that time, she busied herself with making mooncakes while her second brother helped in Hundred Herb Hospital.

When Su Wenxiu ran looking for his sister, it was because something happened in Hundred Herb Hospital.

“I-It’s the hospital!” Su Wenxiu had run too fast and did not catch his breath yet.

Su Binglan looked at Su Wenxiu. “Take a breather, Second Brother. Take your time talking,” she patted his back while speaking.

Su Wenxiu finally caught his breath, saying, “Quick, you must go to Hundred Herb Hospital. Someone has fallen severely ill, and Doctor Wu said it might be the plague! The situation is serious, but we can’t find the root of the disease and can’t treat it. We became desperate and decided to look for your help.”

Su Binglan’s expression changed when she heard that. “If it’s the plague, the situation could worsen. Don’t speak of this to anyone else yet. I’ll go over and check on the patient.”

“Doctor Wu said the same thing. We’ll cause a panic if the townsfolk find out. Also, the mother and son seem to be from another place. However, the mother is sick while the boy seems okay,” said Su Wenxiu.

Su Binglan’s expression turned cold. “I’ll go and check it out.”

Then she gave the groceries she bought to Su Wenxiu, saying, “Take these to the shop’s backyard for me while I go to the hospital. You must return to the hospital immediately after.”

“Okay, Little Sister.” With that, Su Wenxiu took the noodles and meat his sister bought and went to the dessert shop. He walked in big strides, still in a hurry to return to the hospital to learn from his sister.

Every time his sister treated someone, she would bring him along to learn more, so he had to hurry. After giving Su Wenxiu the groceries, Su Binglan rushed to the hospital.

When Su Binglan entered Hundred Herb Hospital, the nurse and apprentice in charge of the medicine respectfully greeted her. Doctor Wu had instructed them that the Wu family’s head ordered them not to be disrespectful to Miss Su and had to think of ways to help her whenever possible.

The nurse and apprentice respectfully said, “M-Miss Su, you’re finally here.”

Su Binglan looked around. “Where’s Doctor Wu?”

The nurse hurriedly said, “Doctor Wu is inside treating the patient. He told me to send you to him as soon as you arrive.”

Su Binglan nodded, entered the treatment room, and saw Doctor Wu covering his face with gauze to check the woman’s pulse. A little boy was standing next to Doctor Wu.

The boy was handsome but looked thin and weak with widened eyes. He seemed only two to three years old but obediently stood on the sidelines.

“M-Mother, please wake up. Don’t leave me.” The little boy was crying as he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, trying not to let his tears fall. Looking at a little boy like this was unbearable. Still, the woman on the bed was unconscious.

Su Binglan looked over and noticed that the woman’s face looked like it had gotten burned by fire. She looked disfigured and frail, shocking Su Binglan.

Meanwhile, the little boy was still begging Doctor Wu, “D-Doctor, please save my mother!”

Doctor Wu sighed and said, “Don’t worry. I will do whatever possible to save your mother.”

He looked at the little boy and felt sorry for him, so he tried his best to comfort him because the boy’s mother might have gotten infected by the plague. Also, the little boy mentioned that they had come from the prefecture capital, where it was more likely to catch the plague. That was where Prince Ding’s mansion was.

Su Binglan walked over, saying, “How is she, Doctor Wu?”

Doctor Wu looked like he saw his savior when he looked at Su Binglan. He said excitedly, “Miracle Doctor Su, please take over. Perhaps you’ll know what to do.”

Su Binglan waved her hand. “There’s no need for flattery, Doctor Wu. Please stop calling me ‘Miracle Doctor’ because I’m not.

Doctor Wu nodded. He knew some experts liked to conceal their identities and not be known by others. He said, “Y-Yes, Miss Su.”

The little boy next to him blinked his almond-shaped eyes and looked at Su Binglan. He thought the young lady before him looked beautiful and wondered, ‘is she a miracle doctor?’

“P-Please save my mother, Miss!”

Su Binglan’s heart melted when she looked at the little boy. He was just a child, yet he was so sensible. It made her heart ache. “Don’t worry. Your mother will be okay.”

There was a charming aura around her, and the little boy felt comforted by her words. He looked at Su Binglan nervously but was sensible and did not say anything else.

He only watched from the sidelines, thinking of how beautiful the young lady was. He felt that she resembled a capable fairy.

Su Binglan checked the woman’s pulse and discovered her body was weak, severely malnourished, and poisoned, which could result in an infectious plague.

Fortunately, the woman’s condition was mild and had not worsened yet, so she could not infect others.

After checking the woman’s pulse, her eyes narrowed. ‘Could someone else have caused his?’

Su Binglan looked at the little boy and said, “Your mother will be okay after taking some medicine, but can you tell me where you two came from? Is there anyone else who is experiencing the same things as her?”

She did not treat the little boy as an ordinary boy even though he was probably dependent on his mother because his eyes showed a sense of stability that did not match his age. Still, Su Binglan knew the little boy had some information.

The little boy looked at Su Binglan, blinked his eyes, and hesitated before saying, “My mother and I came from the prefecture and passed through the capital city. After resting for two days, we met some people, and my mother told me they were refugees.

At some point, the refugees fell to the ground as if they were sick, so my mother quickly took me away and brought me here.”
