"Wait!"

The Divine Doctor really couldn’t drink anymore and hurriedly stopped Wang Hao from speaking.

"I know you’re no ordinary person. I give up, okay? Just speak directly, what exactly do you want from me?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Wang Hao chuckled inwardly, thinking I have the Heart of the Dragon energy within me, why would I be afraid?

Trying to outdrink me? You’re still too green. But since he was the one asking for a favor, Wang Hao couldn’t very well reveal his inner thoughts.

"My name is Wang Hao. May I know how to address the Divine Doctor?"

Wang Hao asked politely.

"Li Zhi!"

Li Zhi quickly poured himself a cup of strong tea to drink, because at that moment, he felt as if his stomach was churning violently.

"Not to hide from you, I do have something I need the Divine Doctor’s help with. My niece has leukemia, and I was hoping you could take a look. Do you have the time?"

Wang Hao looked at Li Zhi with a hopeful face.

"Leukemia?"

Li Zhi looked back at Wang Hao somewhat incredulously.

"For leukemia, only a matching bone marrow transplant can be effective. Even though they call me the Divine Doctor, I can’t think of a good way to treat her. For now, I can only help stabilize the condition."

"But my niece’s condition is a bit complicated. It’s very difficult to find a bone marrow match for her in the entire country."

Wang Hao thoroughly explained Ya Ya’s condition to the Divine Doctor.

"In that case, I really need to go see her myself. I’ve been practicing medicine for years, and this is the first time I’ve heard of such a case. Where is your niece now?"

After listening to Wang Hao’s introduction, Li Zhi suddenly became interested.

"She is currently in Zao City. If the Divine Doctor would be willing to take a look at my niece, then please rest well tonight, and I’ll pick you up tomorrow to go together, okay?"

Wang Hao was extremely careful with every word he spoke now, for fear of upsetting Li Zhi.

"Alright, I’ll go back and prepare. We’ll head to Zao City together tomorrow morning."

As long as Li Zhi’s curiosity was piqued, everything was negotiable; he was just that stubborn.

After seeing Li Zhi to his accommodations, Wang Hao also returned to his villa.

By the time he got home, Xia Xue’s father had already gone to sleep, but Xia Xue had been waiting for Wang Hao’s return, and fell asleep on the sofa while waiting.

Now that it was early autumn, the night temperatures had dropped quite a lot. Seeing Xia Xue curled up on the sofa made Wang Hao’s heart ache, and he couldn’t help but walk over and scoop her into his arms.

"You’re finally back!"

Xia Xue opened her eyes and a smile appeared on her face upon seeing Wang Hao.

"You silly girl, why didn’t you go to sleep in your room?"

Wang Hao asked tenderly.

"I knew you had to go out for a drinking occasion today. I made you some hangover soup. Wait for me just a moment!"

Xia Xue quickly got up and brought a bowl of hangover soup from the kitchen for Wang Hao.

Although the soup didn’t have much effect on Wang Hao, it was Xia Xue’s kind thought, and he couldn’t let her down. He happily took a big sip and instantly felt a warmness throughout his body.

"By the way, wasn’t your father’s illness previously diagnosed as incurable, requiring long-term care? What method did the Divine Doctor use to cure your father?"

Wang Hao’s puzzle had yet to be solved.

"The Divine Doctor Li Zhi said it was only temporarily under control, not cured. He said it would not recur for at least two years. Since the hospital environment isn’t very good, after getting the Divine Doctor’s approval, we decided to come home to recuperate."

Xia Xue explained.

"Then did you see what method Divine Doctor Li Zhi actually used?"

Wang Hao asked again.

"It seemed like acupuncture, but I’m not very clear on the specifics, because at that time my father was in the operating room, and they didn’t let me in!"

Xia Xue said thoughtfully.

Good grief, acupuncture again!

This reminded Wang Hao of the scene he had witnessed during the day, when Li Zhi was administering acupuncture to the patients in the emergency room, with the thin needles coated in some unknown black substance. Wang Hao also really wanted to find out what that black substance was.

Luckily, Divine Doctor Li Zhi had agreed to join Wang Hao tomorrow to see Ya Ya, and it was likely that Li Zhi would use the same method.

The next day, Wang Hao arrived as promised at Li Zhi’s residence, and Li Zhi was also very enthusiastic, having been waiting already. He must have been very interested in the illness of Ya Ya as described by Wang Hao.

"Divine Doctor, you are not a descendant of the Divine Doctor Li Shizhen, are you?"

Out of boredom on the way, Wang Hao suddenly thought of Li Zhi’s surname and casually asked.

"Ha-ha, correct. I am indeed the ninety-eighth direct descendant of Li Zhizhen. How does that sound? Quite impressive, isn’t it?"

Li Zhi laughed, his face showing a complacent expression.

Wang Hao suddenly realized why such a young man could have such remarkable achievements—it turned out he came from a family with a medical lineage.

The two chatted idly as they went, their relationship growing steadily warmer, and before long, they had already arrived at the Wen Family’s restorative clinic.

"Haozi, you’re back!"

Having not seen Wang Hao for a while, Zheng Cailian had missed him dearly.

But Wang Hao could still see that ever since Ya Ya’s illness had been diagnosed, Zheng Cailian had become increasingly thin, and it pained him to see her like this.

Being a parent really was a trial, but with this kind of situation, all Wang Hao could do was comfort her, as there was no other good solution.

After giving a brief introduction of Li Zhi’s identity, Zheng Cailian greeted him with a smile and hurriedly took Li Zhi inside to see Ya Ya.

Ya Ya was still as obedient and cute as before, complying with everything Li Zhi asked of her.

However, when Li Zhi took Ya Ya’s pulse, his expression suddenly darkened, and after checking the cases the clinic had handled, his brows furrowed even more deeply.

But in Ya Ya’s presence, he said nothing, instead taking the opportunity to call Wang Hao and Zheng Cailian outside.

"The condition of this child, Ya Ya, is very unusual. I’ve only seen this kind of case in my ancestor’s medical books, but in reality, this is my first time encountering such a case."

"Trying to find a bone marrow match for Ya Ya is indeed more difficult than reaching the heavens," Li Zhi said with an unavoidable sigh.

"Moreover, the worst part now is that Ya Ya has already fallen ill, and her physical condition will only worsen over time. Right now, all I can do is to stabilize her condition first."

Upon hearing Li Zhi’s words, Zheng Cailian suddenly couldn’t hold back her sobs. Although it was no different from the previous diagnosis, they had finally begun to harbor some hope, only to have it dashed again, which was something she couldn’t just accept at the moment.

"Is there really no other method at all?"

Wang Hao asked with a furrowed brow.

"Trying to find a suitable bone marrow for transplantation is not very realistic, but it seems there is still one method. However, for us modern people, it’s also considered more difficult than reaching the heavens!"

Li Zhi was also quite helpless.

"What exactly is the method?"

Wang Hao hurriedly asked.

Because as long as there was the slightest glimmer of hope, no matter how arduous the process, he had to try his best.
