Chapter 422: Medicine Can Only Cure Diseases

“This kid often loiters outside our clinic. I’ve chased him away a few times, but he’s always staying here. I knew he was going to steal something!”

“As expected, taking advantage of the lantern festival, this kid took advantage of the crowded crowd just now to run away with a big bag of medicinal herbs when the shop assistants were too busy!

“Damn it, why aren’t you running anymore?!”

As he said this, the man seemed to be angry and gave another fierce kick.

If this kick had hit the young man, at least two of his ribs would have been broken, and at worst, he would have been kicked to death. So, Victor had no choice but to stop him.

“I said, don’t hit him.” He turned his head and looked at the embarrassed young man. “Is that so?”

“I… I didn’t steal…”

“Bullsh*t! That bag of medicinal herbs in your arms was stolen! It even has our clinic’s logo on it!”

Hearing that, Victor turned his head and looked at the young man who was kneeling on the ground and covered in bruises. As expected, he saw the words Tiansheng Clinic on the bag.

The latter did not answer, but it was not difficult to see from his eyes that these people were not lying.

“Stealing is wrong, and getting beaten is deserved. Return the things.”

“No!”

Oddly enough, the weak-looking youth shook his head and hugged the medicinal herbs in his arms tightly. “This is to save my mother’s Life!”

“No matter what, you shouldn’t steal. Return it.” Victor’s tone was calm, but it was not difficult to hear his unquestionable attitude.

“No!”

“My patience is limited. You’d better listen to me obediently.”

Victor furrowed his brows and stepped forward, causing the entire ground to tremble!

Seeing this scene, the youth’s face turned pale. He was extremely unwilling, but in the end, he still placed the medicinal herb on the ground.

“I’ve returned the item to you, but you have to compensate him for this injury. In my opinion, this kind of injury would cost at least a hundred spirit stones. This medicinal herb can be used as compensation for him.”

“This…”

Hearing this, the faces of the people from the medical hall turned extremely ugly.

Indeed, that young man looked like he was covered in wounds. However, as physicians, they naturally knew what to do. At most, he would only be bruised, so they did not need a hundred spirit stones at all.

However, the strength that Victor had displayed just now had already played a role. Facing such an unreasonable person, it was best not to refute him.

“It’s possible, but these medicinal herbs can’t save his mother’s life at all. This isn’t the right medicine.”

“Kid, do you know what illness your mother is suffering from?”

“I don’t know… It’s just that mother often says that she’s cold, and mother’s hands are beginning to fester. It’s a very serious illness.”

As the youth spoke, his emotions suddenly collapsed, and his eyes turned red.

“Young master, I’ll only tell you that this kid’s mother is a prostitute. She must have contracted an illness. Ordinary medicinal herbs can’t treat her at all.”

Hearing this, Victor nodded. He took the medicinal herbs to the people in the medical center. He said, “Here is your stolen medicine. Kid, take me to your mother.”

After saying this, Victor turned around and glanced at Nalan Lengling. He transmitted his voice, “Next time, don’t act rashly for unknown reasons.”

Nalan Lengling stuck out her tongue and remembered this in her heart.

After dispersing the crowd, Victor allowed the little boy to lead the way. They passed through the dark and damp alley and came to an extremely hidden wooden house.

“It’s… It’s here…” The youth looked up at Victor and immediately lowered his head.

“I got it.”

Victor nodded and pushed open the wooden door. Instantly, a stench of putrid smell assailed his nostrils.

Victor used his spiritual power to condense his spiritual fire to light up the surroundings. Finally, he could see the entire wooden house clearly.

The entire area was less than ten square meters, but it was abnormally spacious. There was a broken bed, a set of dirty and tattered bedding, two bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, and a booklet that had been written with unknown things.

On the contrary, there was a lot of rubbish piled up. Under the bed, one could vaguely see some excrement and some bugs flying up and down.

“Mother… someone is here…”

The little boy swallowed his saliva and carefully walked to the side of the bed. He pushed the motionless woman on the bed.

There was no response.

The young man increased his strength and the figure on the bed finally responded.

The woman slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes had long lost their charm and seemed abnormally empty and lifeless.

“Sir… cough cough! Sir, I’m no longer accepting guests. Please go back.”

After saying that, the woman seemed to have no more strength and collapsed on the bed again.

Seeing this scene, Victor sent a stream of energy into the woman’s body. Instantly, the woman seemed to be surrounded by some warmth. Her complexion improved a lot and she was finally able to get up from the stinky bed.

“Young master, you are…”

“Mother… he is the doctor I found for you. Mother, you will definitely get better.”

“How long has this symptom been going on for?”

Victor did not reply to the identity as the doctor and asked his question.

“About… more than a year.”

“Why didn’t you treat the illness before?”

“…”

“Medicine can cure sickness but it can’t save you from death. Your organs have rotted and your qi and blood have declined. A miracle will be needed to treat your condition.”

Hearing this, the woman did not seem surprised. She calmly nodded and hugged the child.

“You can cure my mother, right?”

The young man’s hopeful gaze was like a steel needle, piercing Victor’s heart.

“I’ll tell you the truth. I can’t save your mother, she’s dying for sure.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nalan Lengling, who was at the side, quickly changed his words and said, “However, it’s possible to maintain her life.”

“Victor! Why are you so straightforward!”

Nalan Lengling sent a voice transmission to Victor, her tone was a little reproachful.

“There is no point in hiding it. Even if she can suppress her illness now, this woman will die sooner or later.”

“Regardless, you shouldn’t say it in front of a child!”

“I’m saying this for that young man. The woman already knows that she doesn’t have much time left. Even if we say it again, it won’t have any effect on her.”.

“But it’s different for that young man. He doesn’t know if this woman can still be saved. So, what I have to do is to end his hope.”

“Why?”

“It’s better to be disappointed now than to feel despair a few years later.”

After saying that, Victor did not explain anymore. He turned his head to look at the woman who was already in tears and continued, “I can help you get out of this. In this state, there’s only endless torture for you. If you live, you’ll only bring down your child.”

“Bad person! You are a bad person!”

Finally, the youth who had been silent for a long time spoke. He rushed toward Victor and tried to drag him out of the room. However, he was too weak and Victor did not move at all.

“I can’t let him go… Although I know that if this continues, I will only bring trouble to my youngest son, who is only seven years old…”

The woman shook her head and her words were filled with despair.
