1791: A Miracle Doctor?

A Miracle Doctor?

Min Yu stood up as well. He noticed the smile on her face. "Are you going to see a patient?"1

"Uh huh." Huo Yao responded sadly as she put away the laptop. "Someone wants to give me money and there's no stopping him."

Min Yu's lips twitched. "I'll send you there."

Huo Yao took a coat from the side and put it on. She glanced at Min Yu. She had no reason to turn down a free ride. "Okay."

Before long, the two of them left the basement.

After getting into the car, Huo Yao tapped on the address that Uncle Changfeng had texted her and noticed another unread text message on her phone.

[Are you a wuss?]

The phone number looked very familiar.

Huo Yao raised her brow. She swiped on the phone screen down to her call history.

It was a call from the same number that she rejected previously.

Min Yu looked into the rearview mirror and noticed something amiss with Huo Yao's expression. "What's wrong?"

Huo Yao shrugged and did not take the text message to heart. She simply replied airily. "What can I say? Good-looking people just attract too much envy."

Min Yu went speechless.

The text message did not affect Huo Yao's good mood. She reached her hand out and turned on some music inside the car.

An hour later, the car pulled up outside Rocco's private estate.

The bodyguard was anxiously waiting at the door. The moment he saw Huo Yao getting out of the car, he quickly ran over to welcome her.

"Miss Huo, you're finally here."

The bodyguard was the same man who had visited the Huo residence earlier. He recognized Huo Yao.

She nodded and pointed to Min Yu. "This is my friend."

"How do you do?" The bodyguard looked at Min Yu briefly. Owing to his imposing aura, the bodyguard quickly veered his eyes.

The man must have an extraordinary background was the thought that went across the bodyguard's mind.

"Take me to the patient so that I can examine him," continued Huo Yao candidly.

"Okay. This way, please." The bodyguard gestured reverently.

Before long, the two of them were shown inside the villa.

Inside the large spacious hall, there were a lot of people.

A few doctors dressed in white robes were debating animatedly. They were probably discussing Rocco's treatment plan.

The bodyguard glanced at Huo Yao. Out of concern that she might misunderstand, he explained politely. "Those doctors are reserved for imperial use. They have always been taking care of His Highness."

Huo Yao nodded understandingly.

The doctors finally noticed Huo Yao and Min Yu's presence. They knew that the bodyguard had gone to fetch a miracle doctor. When they looked over, they stared at her suspiciously.

How could the miracle doctor be so young?

She must be a quack, right?

The doctors glanced at each other.

The bodyguard disregarded the doctors' reactions and showed Huo Yao and Min Yu upstairs immediately.

Inside the room, Rocco quietly lay in bed. In comparison to a few days ago at the count's residence where Huo Yao last saw him, he looked even more pale and sickly.

"His Highness passed out after having breakfast today. We have tried everything, but we can't get him to wake up."

The bodyguard hurriedly explained Rocco's symptoms.

Huo Yao said nothing. She simply pulled up a chair and sat down. At the same time, she extended her hand to take Rocco's pulse.

She pulled her hand back half a minute later and narrowed her eyes.

Huo Yao turned her head and looked at the bodyguard. "Did His Highness take any meds today?"

The bodyguard nodded. "Yes, he did."

Huo Yao replied. "Let me take a look."

"Okay. One moment, please."

The bodyguard quickly left the room.

Before he stepped out of the room, he told the maid to stay and keep an eye on things.

Huo Yao paid no attention to the bodyguard. She retrieved her silver needles and started performing acupuncture on Rocco.
