Before Shangguan Zheng uttered a word, Cheng Lin immediately said, “Miss Song, we believe in you.”
Cheng Lin was a knowledgeable person.

She could tell at a glance that Song Hua was different from ordinary girls.

She was calm, self-controlled, and well-spoken. She exuded a temperament that girls of this age did not have. She must have experienced a lot.

“Okay.” Song Hua nodded slightly and continued, “Do you have a pen and paper?”

“Of course, we have.” Cheng Lin immediately asked the servant to bring a pen and paper.

Song Hua took the paper and wrote a prescription, noting the don’ts and the items used to bandage the wound. Then, she handed the paper to Cheng Lin. “Prepare the things written on the paper. I’ll come back tomorrow afternoon.”
“Okay.” Cheng Lin took the prescription. When she saw the words on it, she was stunned for a moment.

Song Hua’s handwriting had an elegant charm. It was pleasing to the eye. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that such beautiful words were written by such a young girl.
Her handwriting was like her temperament, elegant, attractive, and astonishingly beautiful. Song Hua was such a wonderful creature that no one could forget.

“Then I got to go,” Song Hua continued.

“TIl send you off.”

Cheng Lin walked Song Hua out.

‘When they reached the door, Song Hua turned to look at Cheng Lin. “Mrs. Shangguan, I’ll go by myself.”

Cheng Lin smiled. “I should be about the same age as your mother. Miss Song, if you don’t mind, you can call me Lin.”

“Lin.”

Cheng Lin continued, “I’l tell the driver to send you back.”

Song Hua pointed at the shared bike parked by the roadside. “I’l ride the bike. It’ll be quick.”

“Miss Song, let the driver get you home.”

“No need. Thank you for your kindness.”

Having finished the sentence, Song Hua walked to the side of the road, pushed a shared bike out, and rode away.

Her hair was dancing in the breeze, which formed a perfect arc in the air. It displayed chaotic beauty.

Cheng Lin watched the figure disappear in her sight, and the huge worry that pestered her heart for many days slowly faded away.

After a moment, Cheng Lin turned around and returned to her room.

Shangguan Zheng asked, “Did Miss Song leave?”

Cheng Lin nodded.

Shangguan Zheng continued, “Do you think Miss Song can be trusted?”

“Yes, she could be trusted.” Cheng Lin nodded.

Cheng Yuang walked in from the side. “Zheng, don’t worry! Miss Song will definitely cure Ying!” Anyway, Cheng Yuang was completely convinced by Song Hua now.

Shangguan Zheng frowned slightly. “But I always feel that she’s too young.”

Being young meant a lack of experience.

Shangguan Zheng was very worried.

“Age is just a number. It can’t be used to show one’s ability.” Cheng Yuang continued, “Although she is young, there is no denying that she is talented and capable. Zheng, you can’t judge her ability only by her age.”
At this moment, a servant came over. “Mr. and Mrs. Shangguan, Doctor Wu has arrived.”

‘When Cheng Lin heard that Doctor Wu had arrived, there was a slight frown on her face.

It was Doctor Wu who put her daughter in pain.

‘When Cheng Lin was about to say something, Shangguan Zheng held her hand. “Quickly invite Doctor Wu in.”

“Okay.”

After the servant left, Cheng Lin said unhappily, “Why did you let him in?”

Shangguan Zheng said, “Let’s listen to Doctor Wu’s opinions first.”

Not long after, the housekeeper brought Doctor Wu in.

After seeing Shangguan Ying’s condition, Doctor Wu stroked his beard. “Mr. and Mrs. Shangguan, your daughter’s condition is very bad now. Her face is not compatible with the medicine. I will do my best to heal the wound. As for restoring her appearance, I’m afraid…”
At the end of his sentence, he shook his head. “I’m afraid there’s no hope for her in her lifetime. You need to be mentally prepared.”

“That’s not what you said before!” Cheng Lin was a little angry, so she naturally did not have a good attitude. “You said that you could cure my daughter!”

Hearing this, Doctor Wu raised his head calmly, “Mrs. Shangguan, doctors are not gods. We could only try our best to cure the patients. The occurrence of force majeure is unavoidable. Moreover, your daughter’s condition is too serious! I’ve been a doctor for decades, but I’ve never seen such a situation! I
can understand your feelings. Please understand my heart. If there was any medicine that could cure your daughter, I would not draw such a conclusion.”

Doctors were always benevolent, trying all possible means to help the patients.
Doctor Wu wanted to cure Shangguan Ying more than anyone else, but unfortunately, things went against his wishes.

“You are not the master of the healing arts. You could not heal my daughter, but someone can!” Cheng Lin’s voice was full of anger. “There is always someone bigger than you!”
Doctor Wu looked up. “Mrs. Shangguan, you mean that someone can cure your daughter’s face?”

It was impossible!

He had never heard that there was any doctor better than him in River City!

That doctor’s medical skills could surpass his?

It was totally unheard-of!

Doctor Wu enjoyed respect from others all his life. He was so proud that he could not listen to such words.

“Of course!” Mrs. Shangguan said.

“Impossible!” Doctor Wu stood up and continued, “It’s not that I’m arrogant, but your daughter’s face could not be cured at all. Since there is no hope, how can her face heal up?”
Cheng Yuang stood up at this time.

“Doctor Wu, tell you the truth. A little girl who studies medicine found that there was something wrong with your prescription. She pointed it out when I bought the medicine for Ying. She even told me that if my niece ate your medicine, her wound would definitely fester. We can only blame ourselves for
not taking her words to heart.”

Cheng Yuang continued, “But fortunately, we have already contacted her in time. We believe that she definitely has the ability to cure Ying.”
Doctor Wu narrowed his eyes. He was curious about that little girl. How could she deduce that Shangguan Ying’s face would fester from the prescription?

It must be a lucky guess.

He had spent his whole life studying medicine, but he was still unable to cure Shangguan Ying, How could a little girl who only studied medicine for a few years cure her?

It was impossible!

“Mtr, Cheng, you might be deceived by that little girl!” Doctor Wu continued, “All the medicines have side effects. Miss Shangguan’s face could not be cured at all. The best plan is to stop the damage in time. “If you still apply medicine to it, her life will be in danger!”
Doctor Wu thought that only he could save Shangguan Ying’s life. Other doctors could not heal her at all. They might even bring death to her.

At this point, Doctor Wu paused and turned to look at Shangguan Zheng. “Mr. Shangguan, you are a husband and a father. You have lots of responsibilities. I hope that you could think about it carefully. Don’t let others harm Miss Shangguan!”

Doctor Wu thought they should listen to him since he was such an experienced doctor.

A little girl who came from nowhere could cure Shangguan Ying? How could Cheng Lin believe it?

“Stop scaremongering here!” Cheng Lin’s voice was imbued with anger. “Butler! Send the guest out!”

The Butler found himself in an embarrassing situation. He bent over and said, “Please!”

Doctor Wu burst into anger. Before he left, he even glanced at Shangguan Zheng, “Mr. Shangguan, you are the head of this family. Miss Shangguan only has one life. Don’t do anything that you will regret!”

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Cheng Lin frowned tightly.

Opening his mouth, Shangguan Zheng wanted to say something, but Cheng Lin stopped him directly, “Don’t say anything else. I believe in Miss Song!”

After saying that, she turned to look at Shangguan Ying and asked, “What About You, Ying?”

Shangguan Ying was silent for a few seconds before she nodded her head. She said, “I believe in Miss Song too.”

Compared to death, she was more afraid of living the rest of her life as an ugly monster.

His wife and his daughter trusted Song Hua, so Shangguan Zheng did not say anything else. He looked at Shangguan Ying and said, “As long as you don’t regret it, I’l respect your decision..”
