Chapter 2299

"Leukemia is not a problem for me, but it is for you. So, I need to figure out how to make medicine from current drugs to treat leukemia patients."

"Apply for a research lab for you?" Gu Jingtian asked.

"Go away. If I wanted to apply, I would do it myself. I just don't want people to be too curious about what I’m doing. So, if you send an intern, make sure they aren't curious," Zhu Yanyi said seriously, looking at Gu Jingtian.

Gu Jingtian understood. Zhu Yanyi would be researching new herbs, which would involve many new things. If an intern was not honest, they might leak information. Even if it was unintentional, the consequences could be terrible.

"Since that’s the case, I won’t arrange an intern for now. I’ll say it was your temporary decision." Since Gu Jingtian knew the situation, he wouldn’t let anyone close to this matter. He would eliminate the risk first.

Zhu Yanyi had explained this to Gu Jingtian for exactly this reason.

Zhu Yanyi waited in her practice chamber. At 10:03, she heard a knock. "Come in."

Miao Kai entered with a man. "Divine Doctor, two patients are here. They said they came to see a doctor."

"I know. Please let them in," Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly.

Pope Ge pushed a girl in. Seeing Zhu Yanyi, she was slightly stunned. "You… aren't you the girl who ate a midnight snack yesterday?"

Miao Kai said from the side, "What nonsense is that? This is the Divine Doctor."

"Divine Doctor?" Pope Ge’s mouth hung open, his face full of surprise.

Miao Kai was speechless. "Do you think just anyone can have the Divine Doctor’s appointment phone number? The number you called is specifically for Divine Doctor appointments. Otherwise, why would I bring you here?"

"Ah." Pope Ge didn’t expect a phone call to have such a situation. She hurriedly said to Zhu Yanyi, "Girl… no, Divine Doctor, please save my daughter."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Alright. Push your daughter over first. I’ll take her pulse."

"Oh, oh." Pope Ge remembered her daughter was still at the door. She quickly turned around, pushed her in, and brought her to Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi took out a pulse pillow and asked the girl, "What’s your name?"

"Peng Mei'er." Peng Mei'er’s thin face showed no resentment. Perhaps because she had an open mind, Pope Ge wasn’t depressed.

Zhu Yanyi watched her place her hand on the pulse pillow, then took her pulse. While doing so, she observed all conditions inside her body.

Peng Mei'er had hereditary leukemia. She had survived this long for two reasons: her blood type was common, and her desire to live was very strong.

Otherwise, given the condition of her blood, she would likely have died long ago.

"Good girl, you have been very strong," Zhu Yanyi praised.

Peng Mei'er looked at Zhu Yanyi. A faint blush appeared on her pale, bloodless face. "I just want to live. My mother gave birth to me wanting me to live, so I naturally have to try hard to live."

"Yes, smart girl." Zhu Yanyi nodded in agreement. "Parents’ love for their children is very selfless. For their children, they would even sacrifice their own lives. Your mother is probably like that. She was willing to trade her life for yours, so you must live well."

"Divine Doctor, can my illness be cured?" Peng Mei'er asked.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Have you heard of any case where I failed after treating it?"

Peng Mei'er tilted her head and thought. It seemed the Divine Doctor really had no incurable diseases. "No."

"Then it’s settled. Rest assured here. I will definitely give you a healthy body. At least you can enjoy a normal lifespan like ordinary people," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile, looking at Peng Mei'er.

Leukemia was a difficult problem for others, but for Zhu Yanyi, it wasn’t much of a deal. So, she spoke with absolute confidence.

Pope Ge breathed a sigh of relief. "Divine Doctor, how much does it cost to treat my daughter’s illness? I’ll go prepare the money now."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Pope Ge. "It depends on the medicine used. Generally, the hospital bed fee won’t be too expensive. I’ll prescribe the cheapest option, about ten yuan per night.

Other medical costs are mainly for medicine. Ordinary herbs aren’t expensive. However, in the early stage, Peng Mei'er needs to stimulate vitality in her blood vessels, which requires some ginseng. Since it’s for stimulating vitality, we only need quantity, not age. So, based on normal ginseng prices, one root costs a few hundred yuan. Peng Mei'er will need seven to nine slices of ginseng per dose. Also, after discharge, she’ll need to take ginseng daily for recovery at home. That’s the big cost. Calculating it, it might cost five or six thousand yuan until she is discharged. For later maintenance, it will take about a year, and she’ll still need ginseng slices during that year. So, you need to plan ahead."

"That’s good, that’s good. My family has some money left. This cost isn’t high." Pope Ge’s eyes were full of joy. He had originally thought it would cost tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, but a few thousand was enough.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "It’s good that you are prepared. The early stage costs more but works fast. The later stage is mainly about persistence."

Pope Ge said seriously, "Divine Doctor, just save my daughter. I’ll figure out the money."

For Pope Ge, as long as his daughter recovered, nothing else mattered.

Zhu Yanyi looked at Pope Ge. She was a man who truly loved her daughter. Such people were indeed rare in today’s society. But precisely because of her character, Zhu Yanyi decided to treat Peng Mei'er well.

Zhu Yanyi’s treatment of Peng Mei'er was not spread around. Except for a few people, no one knew.

Yan Aohan naturally knew about Zhu Yanyi’s situation, since he had been present when they met Pope Ge at midnight.

"Is that leukemia patient easy to treat?" Yan Aohan asked one day after the couple finished dinner.

Zhu Yanyi picked up a piece of cold-tossed peanut sprout, took a bite, and said, "It’s okay. Mainly because Peng Mei'er has hereditary leukemia, so curing it completely takes some time. If it were acquired, it would be faster."

"You say that without worrying about discouraging people," Yan Aohan laughed helplessly. "But the time for Azure Sovereign Qingdi and Lady Qianyao to reincarnate is almost here."

Zhu Yanyi’s hand paused. "It’s already been eighty-one days so fast? To be honest, I really don’t want them to leave."
