Eddie smiled. "As long as it can be cured, I can wait a while. It doesn't matter if I can't enjoy good food for now. When I can eat again, I will enjoy it fully."
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. To be honest, she admired this optimistic spirit of Westerners. She felt that people from her homeland could learn from them. When people in her country got such serious illnesses, they often felt hopeless and gave up mentally. But Westerners usually didn't give up easily. Even when sick, they tried harder to leave beautiful memories in their last days.
"You are right. When you recover, you will still be able to enjoy good food," Zhu Yanyi answered seriously.
Eddie’s eyes lit up. "Little Divine Doctor, can I really be cured?"
"Since you came to me, you hope I can cure you, right? If so, how could I let you down?" Zhu Yanyi smiled gently. She took out her golden needles, opened the case, and said to Eddie, "Today, I will first lock your throat. After that, you cannot eat for a while. You can speak, but please talk as little as possible. Let your throat rest properly." She spoke seriously.
"Okay." Eddie nodded seriously. she had come to China, and the Little Divine Doctor was her last hope. If even she couldn't treat her, she would only wait for death.
After confirming she was ready, Zhu Yanyi took out a long needle and inserted it into the Tiantu acupoint under her throat. She twisted it slightly, then released it. Then, she took two more golden needles and inserted them into the Lianquan and Xuanji acupoints. Finally, she inserted a needle into the Yamen acupoint opposite them. Zhu Yanyi used a formation of one back and three front needles to lock Eddie's throat.
Eddie didn't see it, but her wife did. She saw a golden ring-like light appear around her husband's neck. It looked particularly beautiful.
Eddie's wife covered her mouth with both hands in surprise. Her eyes were full of astonishment. She had never seen such a miracle.
She dared not make a sound, afraid to disturb the Little Divine Doctor. She just watched the miracle with joy in her eyes.
Eddie couldn't see her own condition, but after Zhu Yanyi locked her throat, she felt her throat become much lighter. The original pain seemed to disappear instantly.
Zhu Yanyi pulled out the golden needles, treated the cancer cell toxins on them with special medicine, and put them away. "That's all for today. I will write a prescription later. The nurse will give you special nutrient fluid."
"Thank you, Little Divine Doctor." Eddie spoke slowly. She followed Zhu Yanyi's instructions and didn't dare to say much.
After Zhu Yanyi left, her wife said directly, "Dear, I really didn't expect the Little Divine Doctor to be so amazing. Just now, when she was doing acupuncture, I seemed to see a golden ring around your neck. It was truly incredible."
Eddie touched his neck. "I only feel that my pain has decreased a lot." He hadn't felt this relaxed for a long time.
"Dear, don't talk. I will go tell the children the good news. It's great. You came to China at the right time." Eddie's wife went to make a phone call happily.
Zhu Yanyi then went to the last patient's ward, Laura O'Flynn.
Laura was not sitting but lying in bed. Her mother, Mrs. O'Flynn, was taking care of her.
Zhu Yanyi approached. Mrs. O'Flynn said, "Little Divine Doctor, thank you for your trouble."
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Madam, let me check Laura's condition first."
"Thank you," Mrs. O'Flynn said seriously.
Zhu Yanyi went over, sat on the stool by Laura's bed, and took her pulse.
Laura's spine was broken into three segments. No wonder she couldn't even sit. She had to lie in bed all day. Because of lying in bed for so long, her muscles had started to atrophy.
Zhu Yanyi put down her hand and looked at Laura. "Laura, your spine is broken into three segments. Although you have had five surgeries, they were not connected properly. The connected parts cannot heal. This causes not only full-body paralysis but also muscle pain in rainy or snowy weather due to the spine. This leads to nerve atrophy in your limbs. Of course, this is also related to lying in bed for a long time."
"Little Divine Doctor, you are truly amazing," Mrs. O'Flynn said. She couldn't believe Zhu Yanyi knew Laura's condition so clearly just by taking her pulse.
"By the way, how did you know Laura had five surgeries? I remember the records only mentioned four," Mrs. O'Flynn asked.
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "The last surgery was not a major one, but an adjustment surgery. I can understand why it wasn't recorded. But when I took her pulse, I found that Laura's body meridians had suffered six injuries. Besides the original injury from the fall, the other five were aftereffects from surgeries."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Laura. "Also, Laura, since you came to China and asked me to treat you, you must have confidence that I can cure you. Don't be sad. You know, trust in your doctor is very important for you."
Laura looked at Zhu Yanyi in surprise. "Little Divine Doctor, how did you know I was unhappy?"
"You are not just unhappy. You don't trust me. You probably think that since Western medicine couldn't save you, how can our Chinese medicine with its soups and waters treat you? Is that right?" Zhu Yanyi was not angry. She directly stated Laura's thoughts.
Laura's eyes were full of surprise. "I really didn't expect you to know so much. Just by taking my pulse? That's too magical."
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Don't think too much. It's not that magical. It's mainly because when I took your pulse, I felt your heart blood flow was a bit slow. That shows a low mood. Also, your blood sugar is a bit low, which makes you feel bad. Why are you feeling bad? Naturally, because you are young but have to lie in bed all day.
Put yourself in my shoes, and you can feel your thoughts. You feel sorry for your mom. Originally, you could take care of yourself and fly freely. But now, you need others to take care of you. This has hit your confidence and pride."
Hearing this, Laura looked at Zhu Yanyi in disbelief. "Little Divine Doctor, you can know this too?"
"Because our Chinese medicine emphasizes looking, listening, asking, and feeling. Since you came to me, the first thing I do is look and feel. Feeling means taking the pulse. Looking means observing your complexion and expression to know everything about you," Zhu Yanyi said seriously with a smile.
