892: Collapse Of Faith

Collapse Of Faith

"Dr… Dr. Lee…" Star's dad couldn't help himself. He asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong with our Star?"2

Li Mingde ignored him and kept his eyes lowered.

When he didn't say anything, Star's parents became even more nervous. They asked him a few questions, but he didn't respond. Star's parents could only look at Dean He for help. Dean He was a kind person. "Doctor Li, how is your examination going?"

Li Mingde raised his eyelids and said slowly, "Let me see what medicine the patient is taking."

"Oh… Oh." Star's father hurriedly searched the drawers and found quite a few. Li Mingde looked at them one by one and said impatiently, "Is there anything else missing from here?"

Star's mother took a box out of her bag. "And this!"

The medicine Teng Hua prescribed was not the most expensive, but the reason she kept it in her bag was because it was her child's life-saving medicine!

What a pitiful parent!

Li Mingde took the medicine box and shook his head as he looked at it for a long time. He had actually wanted to study Teng Hua's medicine before, but because of his pride, he could not. Now, he could do it legitimately.

Seeing that this medicine was actually a Chinese medicine, Li Mingde immediately sneered.

This illness was reputed to be a cancer that could not be cured. Teng Hua actually used Chinese medicine to treat such a powerful illness. He wondered what Teng Hua was thinking.

"Is there something wrong?" Star's mother's heart clenched, her eyes red-rimmed as she was close to tears.

This illness had tortured their family for so many years. Every time they saw a little hope, it would be cut off. Hopefully, nothing would happen this time.

Li Mingde took the pill box and placed it behind his back. "I think the side effects of the new drug have become apparent," he said slowly.

"Side effects?" Star's parents were stunned.

Star suddenly tugged at her mother's sleeve and blinked her large, unworldly eyes. "Mom, what does he mean by side effects?"

"It's just some of the bad effects of the medicine," said Li Mingde mercilessly. "Teng Hua isn't a miracle doctor either. The medicine he gave you helped treat the patient's illness, but it also has some bad effects."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Star's face immediately flushed red. Teng Hua was like a god in her heart now. How could she allow someone to say that about her Sister Teng Hua?

Li Mingde immediately smiled and laughed at this child's naivety. He was about to say something even more overboard when Star's parents hurriedly said, "Dr. Li, this way please. Let's talk outside!"

In the child's heart, Teng Hua was her savior. If her faith collapsed, the consequences might not be less than physical destruction.

Star had suffered enough over the years. She had struggled with hope and despair several times and was still so obedient and sensible.

Even so, her parents had not forgotten that she was no more than a child.

However, Li Mingde refused to leave. He said stubbornly, "In order to rush out the special medicine before others, he developed this harmful medicine. Although it can treat illnesses, the side effects are even more destructive!"

Tears welled in Star's eyes. "No, that's not true! You're a bad doctor. Get out!"

"Hey, Star, come on…"

Li Mingde sneered. "You're impossible to reason with. But seeing that you're a child, I won't hold it against you…"

With that, he flicked his sleeve and left. A group of doctors left with him. Elder He stood behind him, feeling very uneasy. When he walked out of the ward, he asked, "Dr. Li, are you serious? Are the side effects really that bad?"
