Chapter 325 - 325 325 Persuasion
?Chapter 325: Chapter 325 Persuasion Chapter 325: Chapter 325 Persuasion He Wei became anxious as soon as he heard the concern.
“Sally, I never knew that was your name before, please trust Bai Xiao, her medical skills are incredible. I couldn’t walk before because of my legs, I was paralyzed in bed for over a decade. If it wasn’t for Bai Xiao treating my condition, you wouldn’t be seeing me right now. Just like your mother, I saw many doctors, and all of them said I would never be able to stand again, but look at me now, I walk perfectly fine, I can even run and jump! If you don’t give it a try, are you being fair to yourself?”
He was the best witness.
Sally looked He Wei up and down in astonishment.
“You? You used to be paralyzed?”
How could that be possible?
She had seen He Wei moving and serving dishes, walking without any issues, never once limping—how could anyone imagine that He Wei used to be paralyzed?
“Yes, if you don’t believe me, I can take you to my home to ask around. All the neighbors know that I was bedridden for more than a decade, and it was my brother and sister-in-law who took care of me. Everyone is aware of this. Bai Xiao is a good doctor, a very, very good doctor.
We have no reason to deceive you; what benefit would lying to you bring us?” He wanted to help Sally; he finally understood that behind Sally’s reckless and uninhibited facade lay such a burden of suffering.
If it were possible, without the burden of her mother, wouldn’t Sally then be able to lead a normal life, at least not be looked down upon?
Having a legitimate job, she could start anew; nobody wants to lead such a life.
He believed that given the chance, Sally could lead an ordinary life.
This chance might be even more valuable than any of his other expressions of gratitude.
Deep down, He Wei was grateful for Bai Xiao’s suggestion. If it hadn’t been for him, Bai Xiao would probably never have crossed paths with Sally in this lifetime, let alone be here. His plan to express gratitude relied on Bai Xiao to realize, he felt ashamed, but he couldn’t let his shame overlook the opportunity for change that this girl might have.
Sally hesitated. Although she did not know He Wei well, she was aware this young man was smart and shrewd; else, he wouldn’t be here today. Boss Xu was not someone easy to deal with, so He Wei definitely wasn’t making empty promises—he genuinely wanted to help her.
She looked at Bai Xiao, this girl was too young.
So young that it was hard to be convinced, to place trust in a stranger required courage.
Then she looked at her mother again.
In her eyes, there was a hint of relief. Yes, in her mother’s current condition, how much worse could it get? She probably wished she could deteriorate quickly to her death, so as not to burden her daughter.
“Lily, let the doctor treat her. What do I have to lose or worry about at my age? Your mom has lived long enough. Living like this, half-dead, I’m suffering, and so are you; why bother? If I can provide the doctor with a learning opportunity, I’m willing; at least this way, this old wretch like me would have some value.” The old lady managed to joke cheerfully.
Unfortunately, no one laughed; it wasn’t a laughing matter—what helplessness must she feel to say such a thing.
Bai Xiao took out the silver needle, carrying her acupuncture kit with her at all times as a cover. She couldn’t leave home without it.
“Ma’am, please lie still and don’t move. There might be a bit of pain, but it won’t be too bad—just bear with it, and it will pass quickly,” Bai Xiao comforted the old lady.
“You go ahead and insert the needles; I’m not afraid of pain. What is there left for me to endure with this illness? Just go ahead, this old lady won’t fidget,” said the old lady, truly open-minded.
Bai Xiao signaled He Wei and the others to go out; after all, the old lady was a woman and deserved at least that much respect.
