Chapter 76: The Situation Is Not Good

“How’s Feng Yu’s condition now?” Seeing that Huo Xuan was frowning and refusing to speak, Mo Zhu could not help but ask.

“It’s not too good. We’ve invited many famous doctors both domestically and overseas, but we can’t find out what illness he has. They only said that Feng Yu has multiple organ failure. If we don’t have a good treatment plan, I’m afraid his days are numbered.” Huo Xuan shook and raised his head as he stared at Mo Zhu.

When Mo Zhu heard Huo Xuan’s words, she stood rooted to the ground for a long time. The light from the hanging lamp shone coldly on her, making her figure look a little thin.

Seeing how worried she was, Huo Xuan’s heart softened for some reason. He took two steps forward and held Mo Zhu’s hand and comforted her softly.

“Xiao Zhu, don’t be too anxious. His life is not in danger for the time being. However, because of his special situation, we can’t visit often. I’ll inform you in advance the next time I go over. Your medical skills are so good. With you around, it might be useful for Feng Yu’s illness.”

Pursing her lips, Mo Zhu looked back into the man’s deep eyes. She had to admit that Huo Xuan’s comfort had some effect. The girl calmed herself down again and began to calmly analyze the meaning of the man’s words.

Huo Xuan said that Feng Yu’s condition was special. Just now, he mentioned that all sorts of famous doctors both domestically and overseas had diagnosed him with the symptoms of multiple organ failure. However, there was no development in his condition. The more Mo Zhu thought about it, the more she felt that she had seen this illness somewhere before, and it was very familiar.

An idea flashed through her mind and the girl suddenly clenched her fists. This illness! Why did this illness sound so similar to her grandmother’s illness? Both of them had multiple organ failure without any warning, and it was a condition that even she had no idea about!

When she thought of this, Mo Zhu narrowed her eyes in worry. Ever since her grandmother had fallen ill, she had spent a lot of effort to find out if the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb might have an improved effect on her grandmother’s illness. She did not expect Feng Yu to have the same problem.

When she thought of how the two of them had braved through thick and thin together in the past, Mo Zhu’s expression froze. She secretly made up her mind. This time, no matter who released the news of the herb or which household it was in, she had to do her best to obtain it!

“I’m not in the mood to do the questions tonight. I’ll go back first. Don’t forget to inform me about Feng Yu firsthand whenever you have updates.”

After saying this, Mo Zhu stopped bothering about Huo Xuan and waved her hand, walking past the man and out of the room.

She had a sleepless night.

The next morning, Mo Zhu turned off the alarm in frustration. She scratched her head and got out of bed. After a simple shower, she went downstairs to the dining room.

All sorts of breakfasts had been laid out on the table. There was a comprehensive variety of dishes and everything one could think of was there.

When Mo Zhu pulled out her seat and sat down, Huo Xuan was already sitting quietly opposite her. He had peeled two eggs for her and placed them on the plate in front of her. Seeing the girl’s spiritless and preoccupied appearance, Huo Xuan took the initiative to speak.

“Are you still thinking about Feng Yu? Don’t worry too much. Seeing how spiritless you are, you definitely didn’t sleep well last night. Hurry up and eat more breakfast to replenish your nutrition and energy. You have to go to school to attend class later.”

For some reason last night, Fang Ran did not return to the Huo family’s house to rest. Now, there was only Huo Xuan and Mo Zhu in the house, so Huo Xuan did not mind his words much when he spoke. He just said whatever he thought of.

Mo Zhu sat lazily at the dining table. She picked up a piece of egg with her chopsticks and took a small bite. Then, she looked up at Huo Xuan and asked, “Do you have any good ways to earn money?”

In fact, the reason why Mo Zhu was worried the entire night was not because of Feng Yu’s condition, but because she was worried how she could successfully obtain the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. She understood her medical skills very well. If she was unable to do anything about Feng Yu’s condition, then even if Huatuo were to reincarnate, there would probably be nothing she could do.

Hence, the only thing she could do now was to work hard to earn money to get this precious medicinal herb. She could not afford to be careless or lazy in the matter of saving people!

“You need money? Didn’t I give you an unlimited black card when I saw you paying last time?” Huo Xuan looked at Mo Zhu indifferently, feeling a little surprised by the girl’s words.

“I might need to spend a huge sum of money in a few days. I’m afraid that the limit of that card is not enough, so I want to try my best to get a sum of money for emergencies.” Mo Zhu lowered her head and swallowed a mouthful of porridge before speaking of her intention.

Huo Xuan pondered for a moment before tapping the table lightly with his finger. “How much do you need? The Huo family has had some savings over the years, we can take it out for you first.”

Once Huo Xuan said this, Mo Zhu didn’t know how to continue the conversation. She didn’t expect the man to be willing to fork out the Huo family’s entire fortune for her use. The Huo family’s business had been doing quite well these few years. With the Huo family backing her, no matter which auction house she went to in Beijing, she would be able to receive twice the result with half the effort!

As she thought about this, the girl’s heart was filled with gratitude towards Huo Xuan. She looked up at the man’s handsome face seriously and smiled calmly. “I’m not sure how much it will cost exactly, but I’ll definitely think of a way to pay you back!”
