Chapter 97: No Treatment

"It can't be cured." Su Wan spread her hands and said, "Every profession has its own expertise. I can only cure diseases, not detoxify."

Disappointment appeared in the old lady's eyes: "It can't be cured?"

I haven't even seen it yet.

What if a miracle happens?

When the old lady felt Su Wan's expression, these two words were stuck in her throat and couldn't be uttered.

The corners of her mouth were clearly raised, with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Her clear and bright eyes were cold and clear.

"It can't be cured." Su Wan touched the old lady's hand and was about to put it back into the quilt, but her fingers were held by a very light force. She raised her head suddenly and saw the old lady's tightly closed eyes open, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes, her breath was short, and she opened her mouth weakly: "Wanwan, my Wanwan, is it you? Are you back?"

She saw clearly what Su Wan was wearing, and her heart felt like a piece of flesh was cut off. Her fingers trembled, and she wanted to lift her hands to touch Su Wan's face. Was it an illusion that appeared when she was about to die? But she was powerless to lift her hands.

Su Wan held her hand and put it on her face: "Grandma, I'm back."

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Mrs. Su touched her soft cheek, shook her head, and murmured: "No...can't cure..."

Su Wan was stunned, and saw the old lady take a deep breath, stumbling, and said with difficulty: "If you cure him to death, you will be ruined."

Others will spread gossip that Su Wan hates Dingyuan Hou for changing his marriage everywhere, so she deliberately cured him to death.

With this big hat on, Su Wan will never be able to turn over in this life.

"Don't cure it, you...you don't...don't cure it..."

The old lady was very disappointed with Dingyuan Hou. He never treated Su Wan as a daughter and never was a good father for a day. The occasional kindness to Su Wan was all for ulterior motives.

Her heart leaned towards Qinglan and her daughter. She promoted a concubine's daughter to that position and threw her own eldest daughter to the countryside. Whenever the old lady thought of it, her heart ached and she gritted her teeth in hatred. She shouldn't have been soft-hearted to Qinglan and let this woman bring disaster to the Marquis' Mansion.

"Children who are filial must...be loved by their elders."

The old lady squeezed Su Wan's hand hard, not allowing her to be foolishly filial.

Su Jihong is still alive, Qinglan has a backer, and the mother and daughter don't know how to stir up trouble.

Su Wan has such a good ability, and the mother and daughter will not let her go.

Between her son and granddaughter, the old lady chose the latter.

"No cure, grandma, I won't cure." Su Wan saw that she was panting like a broken old bellows, patted the old lady's chest, and calmed her down: "Even if you take me to the hospital for treatment, I won't cure it."

The old lady relaxed, moved the corners of her mouth to smile, and burst into a heart-wrenching cough. It took a long while to recover, and with tearful eyes, he looked at her lovingly: "Good boy Wanwan."

Tears welled up in Su Wan's eyes, and she thought of her grandfather and grandfather-in-law.

The most common words he said to her were "Good boy Wanwan".

"Have a good sleep, I'll be by your side."

Su Wan sat on the stool beside the bed and wiped the sweat off the old lady's forehead with a handkerchief.

The old lady refused to close her eyes, and couldn't see enough, staring at Su Wan: "You've lost weight."

"Girls look better when they are thinner." Su Wan pinched the soft flesh on her face, pouted and said: "I have a lot of flesh."

The old lady smiled and said weakly: "You just arrived in the capital, go wash up and change into clean clothes."

Su Wan didn't move: "I'll leave after you fall asleep."

The old lady had no choice but to close her eyes, and after a while, she opened them again.

"Wanwan, what are your plans when you return to Beijing?"
