Chapter 39: A Grand and Prosperous Gift for You!

This unique medical case was the first that Lu Shenghua had ever heard of, making him eager to witness what a patient with three hearts looked like. Lu Ming nodded, indicating that it was fine.

Combining Eastern and Western medical approached for Shen Ruicong’s treatment might yield unexpected results. Integrating these two approaches allowed them to leverage each other’s strengths and mitigate their weaknesses. After all, medicine knew no boundaries. As long as it could save lives, it’s good medicine. However, it’s crucial to remember that doctors had national boundaries.

Lu Ming then went to find Lin Zhenghui and obtained two 82 HeartGuard Pills.

“Master!”

At this moment, a voice filled with surprise came from the side. Lu Ming turned to see it was Wang Jieqiong.

“It’s you,” said Lu Ming. “How are you doing as an apprentice here? Getting used to it?” Lu Ming placed the 82 HeartGuard Pills into a small box.

“It’s been good. I’ve been learning a lot of new and fascinating knowledge. What’s that in your hand?” Wang Jieqiong asked, intrigued by Lu Ming’s actions and the box in his hand.

“This?” Lu Ming rattled the box containing the 82 HeartGuard Pills. “It’s the HeartGuard Pills from 1982!”

“What?”

Wang Jieqiong looked utterly surprised. She had heard of the 1982 Lafite wine and the vintage of 1982 for various things, but 1982 HeartGuard Pills? What on earth were those?

“This is a miraculous elixir,” Lu Ming said with a smile as he put the box away.

Wang Jieqiong scratched her head but didn’t press further.

“By the way, Master,” she continued. “My friend, the one you met, the live streamer, wants to do a daily live stream of my life as your apprentice. Can we do that?”

During her most challenging days, Li Xuejing helped her significantly. So, Wang Jieqiong was quite concerned about Li Xuejing’s wishes and wanted to repay her kindness. Even though this request might seem unusual, she still brought it up.

“Live streaming my daily life as your apprentice?” Lu Ming chuckled and easily saw through Li Xuejing’s intentions. After all, she had tasted success with her previous Traditional Chinese Medicine livestream and was now considering it to attract more followers. It was all about profit, and Lu Ming understood that.

“I’ll think about it,” Lu Ming didn’t immediately agree or refuse. He needed to weigh the pros and cons. Live streaming could boost the reputation of Traditional Chinese Medicine, allowing more people to gain a comprehensive understanding of it.

However, Lu Ming had concerns about whether daily live streaming at the medical center would disrupt the normal medical order. So, this matter still needs further discussion. Nevertheless, Lu Ming came up with an idea.

Just when Wang Jieqiong was feeling a bit disheartened, Lu Ming said, “Tell your friend to come here. I want to discuss something with her.”

This brightened Wang Jieqiong’s mood, thinking that it was related to the Traditional Chinese Medicine live stream. With great joy, she called Li Xuejing and asked her to come over. Within half an hour, Li Xuejing arrived at Jimin Medical Center.

“Dr. Lu, you’re allowing me to livestream, right?” Li Xuejing asked as soon as she arrived, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Lu Ming shook his head, which left Li Xuejing momentarily stunned. Not allowed? Then why did he ask her to come?

“I called you here to bestow you with an immense fortune,” Lu Ming said, “whether you can catch it or not depends on you.”

Li Xuejing was puzzled by Lu Ming’s words. An immense fortune? What did he mean? Was he going to give her money directly?

“What kind of fortune?” Li Xuejing asked in confusion, with Wang Jieqiong by her side, also looking puzzled.

“That’s right,” Lu Ming began. “I currently have a patient, a 5-year-old boy. He’s facing health issues because he has three hearts in his body.”

Upon hearing this, Li Xuejing and Wang Jieqiong were both left dumbfounded, their mouths wide open.

“Did I hear you correctly? You said how many hearts?” Li Xuejing couldn’t believe her ears. “Three hearts? How is it even possible for a person to have three hearts? This is just… unbelievable,” Wang Jieqiong said, expressing her astonishment.

“It’s true. If you don’t believe me, I can take you to see it,” Lu Ming replied. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Li Xuejing still didn’t understand why Lu Ming was telling them this.

“But the family situation of this little boy is quite challenging,” Lu Ming continued. “His father has passed away, and his mother has some disability in her legs. The family has almost no source of income, relying solely on the mother’s farming and occasional odd jobs. To treat the boy’s condition, his mother has already spent her meager savings of over 6,000 yuan, and she borrowed another 5,000 yuan from the villagers, which is running out.”

As Lu Ming explained, Li Xuejing began to grasp the situation.

“So, you mean you want the public to make donations to help them, and you want me to publicize this?” She asked.

Lu Ming snapped his fingers and said, “Smart! That’s precisely what I mean. You can publicize it, and then kind-hearted individuals can make donations.”

Li Xuejing and Wang Jieqiong began to understand the purpose behind Lu Ming’s plan. Li Xuejing enthusiastically agreed, “This is a fantastic idea! I’m always eager to assist people. Let me help them raise funds!”

She was eager to take on this task, seeing it as an opportunity to become more popular and gain recognition online. The unique case of a person having three hearts would undoubtedly draw attention and generate a lot of interest.

Lu Ming was content with her response and said, “If you’re certain about it, I’ll take you to the hospital to meet the young boy and his mother. We can also gather information to make it more credible so everyone can trust it.”

Li Xuejing was all for it, and they proceeded to the hospital. Lu Ming, Li Xuejing, Wang Jieqiong, and Lu Shenghua headed to the hospital to meet the young boy and his mother.

Upon their return to the hospital, they made their way to the young boy’s room. Lu Ming walked in and introduced everyone, “This is Li Xuejing, and she’s here to learn about your situation and help raise funds for your treatment.”

The young boy’s mother said, “Thank you so much for your kindness.”

They discussed the plan and agreed on the next steps for fundraising and publicizing the case. Li Xuejing was determined to make a difference and help the young boy get the medical care he needed. The stage was set for Li Xuejing to use her platform for a noble cause and, potentially, fame and fortune.

Lu Ming first went to his office and stored the 82 Heart Protection Pills. But he took out one of them, wrapped it in specialized medicinal paper, and carried it with him for unforeseen circumstances.

Afterward, he led Lu Shenghua and the others to Shen Ruicong’s hospital room.

“Dr. Lu.”

“Who are they…”

Upon seeing Lu Ming’s arrival, Luo Sanmei instinctively stood up to welcome him.

“She is a livestreamer, Li Xuejing, and she can assist you in launching an online fundraiser.”

“This is her friend, Wang Jieqiong.”

“And this is my father, Lu Shenghua, a prominent figure in traditional Chinese medicine.”

Seeing this, Luo Sanmei quickly extended a warm welcome to the three of them.

They are all here to help her solve the problem!

They are all benefactors!

“May I examine the child’s condition?”

Lu Shenghua was eager to diagnose Shen Ruicong.

“Of course, please go ahead.”

Luo Sanmei stepped aside to make space.

“Sister Luo, could you retrieve some of Ruicong’s test reports and medical records and have Li Xuejing and her friends take some photos?”

“These can serve as evidence,” Lu Ming told Luo Sanmei.

“Oh, okay.”

Luo Sanmei nodded repeatedly and began rummaging through her old fabric bag.

Luo Sanmei went to negotiate with Li Xuejing and her friends. In the meantime, Lu Ming approached Lu Shenghua. At this moment, Lu Shenghua was in the process of taking Shen Ruicong’s pulse.

“How is it?”

“Is it a pulse-like nothing we’ve ever seen before?” Lu Ming asked with a smile.

He had already diagnosed Shen Ruicong’s pulse, and it was incredibly unusual, not matching any of the pulse patterns documented in medical texts.

“Indeed.”

“It’s somewhat reminiscent of the joyful pulse of a woman expecting twins?”

Lu Shenghua made a somewhat uncertain judgment.

“Hmm?”

“You don’t say!”

“Now that you mention it, it does have that kind of feel!”

With Lu Shenghua’s insight, Lu Ming began to sense the same thing.

“Expecting twins, a pregnant woman’s pulse returns to normal once she delivers the twins.”

“So, looking at it from a different perspective, could we consider the two extra hearts in the child’s body as the ‘twins’?”

“And then, have the child give birth to these two hearts?”

Lu Shenghua withdrew his hand and pondered, stroking his chin.

“Oh my goodness.”

“Dad, what kind of…”

“Outlandish idea is this?”

“Give birth to a heart?!”

Lu Ming was thoroughly bemused by Lu Shenghua’s words.

Lu Shenghua waved his hand and smiled, “I’m just using an analogy.”

“What I mean is, these two hearts still need to be removed.”

“But the standard surgical methods might not be feasible.”

“During the pulse diagnosis just now, based on my assessment of the pulse patterns, those two extra hearts in his body seem to have certain functionality,” Lu Shenghua explained.

“Many blood vessel tissues are connected to these two hearts. Removing them haphazardly might have adverse effects.”

“So, could we let these two extra hearts, like giving birth to a child, naturally mature and detach?” Lu Ming’s mouth slightly agape, he blinked.

Let the extra hearts naturally “mature and detach”?

This idea…
