Chapter 389: Medicine

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

All the residents of Yuan City praised his good deeds and promoted him to a high altar. So what?

What was the point?

The Kind Doctor was very tired. He only felt he was so, so tired. Every day was very exhausting.

When he returned home, there was still such a painful truth to face…

Who could see the fatigue and dejection on his back?

Who knew how uncomfortable he felt?

There was no one. All of them would only line up and seek consultation from him. The people who made him lose all his mental strength would only praise him highly a few times. However, this only brought him more exhaustion.

In the beginning, he really wanted to help the children in Yuan City with a kind heart.

However, he never expected reality to be so unbearable and difficult.

Hahaha…

At this point, who could save him and his two children?

He had thought of resigning from the government as a Kind Doctor.

However, all the commoners in Yuan City already knew him. If he resigned from his position as a Kind Doctor, would everyone look for him? Would they regretfully ask in front of his children why their father stopped doing good for the commoners?

If he went to a medical center to be a doctor and charged a fee according to the rules of medical centers, how many farmers would scold him? Wouldn’t they ask why did he change and charged so much money now?

The Kind Doctor did not make wild guesses.

He could feel the deep pain.

It was because Kind Doctors were naturally sensitive, smart, and clear-headed.

In the days he had been a Kind Doctor at the government, he had seen too many unreasonable commoners… One had to know that only sick children could find Kind Doctors for free. However, if those poor farmers were seriously ill, they had to see a doctor at the medical center.

He couldn’t leave.

The Kind Doctor had long thought of countless ways to free himself.

He couldn’t leave. Nothing could change the situation now…

A hint of pain flashed past the Kind Doctor’s eyes, but he did not argue with Madam Miao or ask her about their daughter’s situation. When Madam Miao saw that the Kind Doctor did not ask, she only snorted coldly and felt that the Kind Doctor understood the situation. Instead, she did not feel that there was anything wrong with him.

The Kind Doctor still did it. He checked his daughter again and then treated Mi’er’s injuries more appropriately.

Then, he checked on Qi’er as well. Indeed, he found that Qi’er’s body was incomparably weak. He caught a very low and imperceptible fever. Furthermore, there were mottled and terrifying abrasions on his palm.

The Kind Doctor’s lips curled up imperceptibly, but his heart was filled with pain and extreme despair. In the blink of an eye, he calmed down. His looks were ordinary, and no expression could be seen. However, his eyes were deeper than usual.

He also brewed another batch of medicine for Qi’er, but realized that there was medicine at home prescribed by that old doctor. Although the medicinal herbs prescribed were cheap, the efficacy was good. It could cure him well.

However, when Madam Miao saw that Qi’er was no longer muddle-headed from the fever, she assumed that he was fine and couldn’t be bothered to brew a second batch of medicine for him.

When the Kind Doctor saw this, he understood the situation. He smiled mockingly and did not say anything else. He brewed new medicine for Qi’er and fed it to him.

After taking care of his two children for the night, the Kind Doctor went out to work as usual.

Yuan City was getting hotter by the day.. It was already the last few days of spring, and it could be said that it was early summer now.
