1559 Coming to Seek Medicine
“This is the Xia family’s ‘divine medicine’! Isn’t it supposed to cure him? Why does it turn out this way! Did you swap out the medicine! Or did you lie to me!” Song Dan roared at the doctor agitatedly.
“We’ve never seen the Xia family’s medicine before. We’ve only heard rumors about it and we don’t know the exact effect. Perhaps that medicine has different effects on different people,” the doctor said cautiously.
“What do you mean? Do you mean that although this medicine works on Xia Mao, it won’t work on my grandfather?” Song Dan looked at the doctor in disbelief.
“Perhaps it’s because everyone’s physical condition is different. We’ve all studied Xia Mao’s case back then. It’s a miracle and we can’t generalize it. Miracles don’t happen often,” the doctor said.
Song Dan smashed everything in the surroundings out of exasperation. The doctors did not panic. They could understand how the family members of such patients felt.
For a moment, Song Dan did not know where he could go to find the “divine medicine” to save his grandfather. The Xia family definitely would not give him the medicine. He had already bought all the medicine available on the market. The only way out was to look for Qiao Mei, but he would not be able to gain entry to Qiao Mei’s house.
“What’s the use of being scared of embarrassment at a time like this!” Song Dan left the hospital without looking back and headed towards Xia He’s house. He had only been able to find Xia He’s address. Qiao Mei owned too many properties and he was not even sure which one Qiao Mei lived in.
It was the middle of the night and Deng Fan and Xia He were both already asleep. Song Dan knocked on the door desperately, as if he wanted to smash it in. Deng Fan got up in a daze to take a look and immediately became alert when he saw that it was Song Dan outside.
“What are you doing at our house tonight?” Deng Fan asked warily.
“I’m not looking for you. I’m looking for Xia He,” Song Dan said solemnly.
“If you’re looking for either of us, then come back tomorrow during the day. It’s so late now and we don’t receive guests at this hour.” Deng Fan wanted to close the door after saying that but Song Dan immediately stuck his foot in and said, “I already said I want to see Xia He! I want to see Xia He! If I can’t see Xia He, I’ll just wait here!”
Xia He put on a coat and walked out of the house. She gently patted Deng Fan’s shoulder and asked him to let Song Dan in. It was already so late at night and they would disturb the neighbors if they made so much noise.
Deng Fan brought Song Dan to their study, the place where they discussed business with visitors.
“Tell me, why is Bureau Chief Song at my house so late at night?” Xia He said impatiently.
“I want your ‘divine medicine’. I’m willing to pay any amount of money. Name your price,” Song Dan said.
“Do you think my house is a treasure chest? You think you can have whatever you want as long as you have money. When it comes to money, my family is not inferior to you now. We don’t care about money at all. Do you think you can buy anything with money?” Xia He said mockingly.
Song Dan also knew that this method would not work, but he still wanted to give it a try. At the moment, he did not have anything other than money. He did not know how else he could save Old Master Song.
“I… How about I owe you a big favor?” Song Dan said in a gentle tone of voice.
“I can’t make the decision on this matter. After all, the owner of this ‘divine medicine’ is my sister-in-law. Moreover, you’ve offended everyone in our family. The only reason why I’m talking to you nicely here is because we used to be classmates. I can’t guarantee the others will react the same way,” Xia He said.
“My grandfather is seriously ill and really needs this medicine. I won’t have come here to beg you if I’m not at my wits’ end,” Song Dan said aggrievedly.
Xia He was a little puzzled. Did Qiao Mei have to save everyone on the verge of death in this world? Did the Xia family have to find a way out for these people who were at their wits’ end?
Their family was just an ordinary family, not a Buddha who was here to save all mankind! They were not so noble yet!
“You should go. This medicine is not something that’s always available. We’ve given all the medicine in our family to my father and there’s only one bottle left now. We have to keep some for ourselves too. You can’t ask that our family give up a life for you. We’re not that magnanimous,” Xia He said.
Seeing how stubborn Xia He was, Song Dan had no choice but to leave and think of another way. He had indeed been too rash to make his way here today.
