Chapter 285: Get Another Checkup (1)

Huo Xiang veered his eyes away from her. He inhaled deeply before he tilted his head up and drank the medicine.
He expected the medicine to taste bitter and unpalatable. However, he discovered that it had barely any odor or taste.
Huo Xiang picked up a glass of water after taking the medicine and took a few sips.
Huo Yao was finally at ease when she saw him finish the medicine. She checked the time on her watch and got up. Then she said sweetly, “I’m off to school.”
She looked completely different from earlier when she had told Huo Xiang to take the medicine.
The door closed with a click before long. Huo Xiang could not help sighing. “Brother Tingrui, don’t you think Yao gives off such a scary vibe when she gets serious?”
Huo Tingrui glanced at him. “Nope.”
Even if she did, he would never admit to it since it would be embarrassing for him to accept that his younger sister gave him the jitters.
Huo Xiang suddenly straightened his back and moved his hand to touch it. A warm sensation was spreading throughout his injury. His expression altered in surprise.
Huo Tingrui noticed something different with Huo Xiang’s expression and could not help asking solemnly. “What’s wrong?”
Huo Xiang tilted his head sideways as he pressed his back again. However, he did not feel the usual sharp pain he got from the slightest touch. “That’s odd. My injury suddenly feels warm after taking her meds.”
Huo Tingrui thought about the drug Huo Yao had given him. After he took them, his occupation-related health problems stopped acting up. He felt a lot more energetic than usual.
Huo Tingrui suddenly turned to Huo Xiang and spoke in a serious tone. “Go to the hospital for a checkup.” Then he paused and added. “I don’t think our baby sister would give you meds for no reason.”
All that talk about clearing heat and expelling toxins was sheer nonsense.
Although Huo Yao only reunited with the Huo family recently, Huo Tingrui instinctively felt that she was special.
Huo Xiang lowered his eyes and squeezed his hands slightly.
Ever since he returned from Huo Yulin’s place, he had forced himself not to think about his health. However, he was keenly aware of how he lay in bed at night thinking about the same thing over and over again – he was a cripple.
Huo Xiang had rejected Tong Yu’s offer when he attempted to convince Huo Xiang to see a Chinese physician a few days ago. Despite learning from Tong Yu how expensive and rare his little sister’s medicine was, Huo Xiang had instinctively resisted treatment.
After suffering enough disappointment, he had lost all hope.
Even though Huo Xiang had learned to accept facts, he felt a sliver of hope from how his body was reacting to her medicine at this moment.
Perhaps he could give it another shot?
Huo Xiang gathered his thoughts before he nodded to Huo Tingrui. “Mhm. I’ll get it done tomorrow.”
Huo Tingrui was relieved to see that Huo Xiang was receptive to his suggestion. He added as an afterthought. “I’ll come with you.”
“Don’t worry. Tong Yu can accompany me. He happens to know a famous Chinese physician,” said Huo Xiang.
“Fine. Call me if anything happens,” said Huo Tingrui without insisting any further.
“Sure.” Huo Xiang nodded. Then he took the medicine bottle from the table and placed it in his pocket.
**
Tong Yu could not help feeling shocked when he heard that Huo Xiang wanted to see a doctor. He quickly rang up the Chinese physician, Old Mr. Pei, whom he had encountered at the hospital previously, and made an appointment.
Tong Yu and Huo Xiang arrived at Old Mr. Pei’s Chinese medicine hall slightly after 2:00 pm.
