Chapter 508: A Rare Genetic Disease
Lin Shuwen turned to look at Fang Chen once more. Since they had no other option, he waved his hand without bearing much hope. “Go ahead.”
Saying so, he walked out of the room.
He clearly bore no hope on the young woman’s diagnosis. Since her examination would end up inconclusive, he would rather go and prepare the car as per Fang Chen’s instructions.
Pei Feng whispered. “Dad, are you trying to disgrace the family?”
How could he suggest that the young woman give it a shot when even his older brother failed to diagnose the illness? Since the young woman was invited here by Old Mr. Pei, it would be a humiliation for his family if she failed to determine Fang Chen’s illness.
Hence, Pei Feng was not happy with his father’s suggestion.
Old Mr. Pei did not even want to look at Pei Feng, forget bothering to respond to him. He turned to look at Huo Yao and said, “Little Master, why don’t you give it a shot?”
Before Huo Yao could say something, Pei Feng muttered to his older brother. “Big Bro, doesn’t Dad look a little possessed?”
Old Mr. Pei was so agitated that his whole body shook.
Pei Rong coughed and rubbed his forehead awkwardly. “Let’s stay positive here. There’s no harm in letting her try.”
Although he sounded like he was defending Huo Yao, he was implying that he did not trust Huo Yao’s medical skills either.
However, Pei Rong was far more tactful than his baby brother.
Pei Feng pouted. He did not want to embarrass himself, so he made an excuse and left the room.
Pei Rong sighed and did not stop Pei Feng. He turned to look at Huo Yao and gestured for her to go ahead and examine the patient before he stepped back to make space.
“Little Master Huo, no pressure. Just do what you usually do.”
Although Old Mr. Pei had absolute faith in Huo Yao’s medical abilities, Fang Chen’s illness was unheard of, so he tried to sound supportive.
Huo Yao glanced at Old Mr. Pei and nodded to him. She stepped forward and did not examine Fang Chen’s pulse right away. She stood quietly by the bedside. Instead, she asked him. “Someone in your family must have suffered from the same illness, right?”
Although it was phrased as a question, she sounded certain.
Fang Chen looked at Huo Yao. Despite her young age, she had unusually sharp eyes and a mature aura. It was hard for him to treat her as a teenager when he looked into her eyes.
Fang Chen contemplated before he said, “I don’t think so.”
Huo Yao said calmly, “This is a genetic illness, so some of your ancestors must have suffered from it as well.”
She paused before she sat down on the chair and added. “If I am not mistaken, you recently started to suffer from intervals of headaches, and even diarrhea. Also, you often dream in your sleep and wake up in cold sweat, right?”
Fang Chen was stunned. A few seconds later, his ghastly pale face was filled with shock when Huo Yao got it spot on. “You’re right.”
Pei Rong was about to message some of his fellow members of the Apothecaries’ Association when his hand paused and he forgot to click send.
He raised his head to look at Fang Chen in shock before his eyes finally landed on Huo Yao.
