“The Lady Flower is coming! The Lady Flower has descended!” Wei Fen knelt on the ground and started to kowtow. “It is you! You are the one who made Lady Flower angry! She has come to demand my son’s life!” Wei Fen shouted at Mo Li.
The crowd started to disperse, worried to get involved.
Zhang Hao quickly rushed to his son’s side. He was in pain seeing his son in this state. He pressed himself on his son, afraid that Zhang Hong might accidentally injure himself. “Ah Hong! Ah Hong!” No matter how loud Zhang Hao shouted, Zhang Hong didn’t respond. It was like he was possessed.
Mo Li sighed. She didn’t expect that the boy would act up so suddenly. However, she also understood why Doctor Zhao didn’t want to treat Zhang Hong. It was more cost-efficient to keep the boy half-dying than to treat him fully.
Mo Li grabbed the chopstick from the nearby bowl. This might look dangerous but it was necessary since Zhang Hong was acting up. He was in extreme danger and he needed immediate help.
Mo Li wanted to have the nurse come help her but the nurse had already retreated when she saw Zhang Hong start to convulse. Zhang Hao was spread over his son’s bed, which meant that Mo Li couldn’t do anything even if she wanted to. However, Mo Li knew that she had to do something seeing the state Zhang Hong was in. “Get up! If you don’t want your son to die, then help me press on his limbs!”
Zhang Hao was so startled that he just stood there frozen. The nurse and Doctor Zhao stood to the side and offered no help. Mo Li was disappointed by these people. At that moment, Mo Yun walked over. “Is it epilepsy?”
“I believe so.”
Mo Li pulled the cloth wrapper out from Zhang Hong’s pillow and tied it around the chopsticks. She then placed the chopsticks between Zhang Hong’s upper and lower teeth, this was to prevent him from biting on his own tongue.
After doing that, Mo Li turned to Mo Yun, “I need restraining straps.”
Mo Yun knew this was an emergency so he obliged. He turned to Doctor Zhao. “Erm… Yes, we do have that. I’ll bring you to get some.” Doctor Zhao led Mo Yun out of the room. Seeing how confident and calm Mo Li was, Zhang Hao slowly regained confidence in her. He believed the girl could really save his son.
When Mo Yun went to get the straps, Mo Li didn’t stay idle either. She turned to the young nurse. “Do you want me to complain about you to your director?”
“No, no. Miss Mo Li, do you need my help?”
“I need you to help me lay him on his side so that his airway wouldn’t be blocked.” The two girls worked together to turn Zhang Hong over. When Mo Yun returned with the straps, Zhang Hong had settled down a lot. Mo Li was using a wet towel to wipe away the stain around the boy’s mouth.
Zhang Hao came to help. Even though his eyes were still red, he was not as flustered as before.
With Zhang Hao and Mo Yun’s help, they managed to apply the straps on the boy.
“You prefer folk remedy, yes?” Go and find lycoris and Plantago seeds. Burn them into ashes and smear them on the center of your son’s palms and feet.” This was a folk remedy to cure epilepsy. Mo Li had studied epilepsy before when she was in the research institute so she knew about these things. “Later, I will inject him with a new type of drug. The drug is still in the developmental stage so if there is any problem, you need to contact me. But it should cure him.” Mo Li was being truthful. She had created a cocktail to remedy epilepsy in her previous life. She could recreate it from memory but the drug had not gone through a clinical trial. In other words, Zhang Hong would be her first clinical study patient.
The crowd had returned and some of them were impressed by Mo Li.
Meanwhile, Wei Fen had returned with the stuff Mo Li asked. She carefully smeared them over her son’s palms, and feet. About 10 minutes later, Zhang Hong returned to normal.
“Doctor Mo Li, I am so sorry for doubting you earlier!” Zhang Hao apologized for his earlier behavior. The Mo Family is a family of saints. The young man has offered to pay for our boy’s fee and the girl has figured out a way to save him!
“But are you sure you are okay with your son using this clinical drug?” Mo Li asked Zhang Hao. After all, this drug hadn’t been tested before.. It was imperative to seek the family’s consent.
