BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141 - 141: Self-Rescue
The kidnapper looked at her with some shock and puzzlement, “What on earth are you talking about?!”
Qiao Yin took a deep breath, attempting to calm her voice, “It isn’t just you who’s dying, but also your son, right?”
“You’re talking rubbish! How could my son die? He is fine! It’s you who’s going to die soon!”
“Let him come here. I will check his pulse for you.”
“Don’t try to fool me here. You’re so young; do you even know how to check pulses? Are you trying to buy more time, waiting for your man to come and rescue you? Don’t be deluded. I carefully picked this spot, and no one will ever find it. Your fate is sealed!”
Qiao Yin calmly looked at him, “If I cannot take his pulse, nor cure your son, it wouldn’t be too late for you to kill me. But here it is, an opportunity to save your son’s life, do you want to give it up?”
“Don’t be fooled by my youth. Actually, I began learning medicine from my mother’s womb. My ancestors were imperial physicians who treated emperors. Our family has handed down our excellent medical skills from generation to generation. I’ve been learning and practicing all sorts of medical knowledge since I was little, taught by the elders in my family.”
“Let me diagnose your son, he’s still so young, his condition won’t be too serious. He can be cured. You need to trust me, I wouldn’t risk my life on this.”
Finally, the kidnapper was shaken.
It seemed that letting her try wouldn’t delay too much time. If she deceived him, he could just simply send her on her way.
He reluctantly nodded, and called his son forward, “Check his pulse!”
Qiao Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Her gamble had paid off.
His son was really sick.
Under the dim lighting, she hadn’t seen clearly. But she did noticed the young kidnapper’s skin seemed a bit off, like he might have a kind of tumor disease.
Her back was drenched in cold sweat, but when her fingertips touched the wrist of the young kidnapper, she concentrated.
After a little while, she retracted her hand.
“Well? What did you find?”
“Your son has been suffering from headaches for half a year, hasn’t he? Recently, he has started to have blurred vision. He can only see things up close but not far away, just like nearsightedness. And, he faints from time to time.” The kidnapper was shocked beyond belief, “How do you know? You really can diagnose?”
The young kidnapper was also surprised, and his eyes held a hint of hope, he asked Qiao Yin, “Can you really cure me?”
“I can.”
“Impossible! The doctors in the hospital have said it’s incurable! They said that my son can only live for a maximum of three years!”
“I’m different from them. I can cure your son and ensure that he can live a normal life in the future. His vision will also return to normal.”
The kidnapper and son looked at each other, both seeing excitement in each other’s eyes.
However, Qiao Yin was still increasing her bargaining chips: “Not only him, I can also treat your disease, though your condition is quite severe. I can only extend your life by about half a year.”
“Half a year?!”
The kidnapper’s face showed both shock and joy, “The doctor said I could only survive for a week! You’re telling me I can live for another half a year? Are you really not lying to me?”
“Absolutely. However, I need silver needles. Do you have them?”
“All I need are silver needles? No surgery is needed?”
“No surgery is required, and it can’t be performed either. Your son has inherited your brain tumor. The risk of surgery is high, and there’s a chance he could end up in a vegetative state.”
The kidnapper almost completely believed Qiao Yin was a doctor now because what she said was exactly same as what the doctors told him!
The doctors also refused to perform a craniotomy on his son and recommended conservative treatment instead.
In fact, even if the doctors were willing to perform the operation, he and his son couldn’t afford the operation fees.
After discussing with his son, he agreed to watch Qiao Yin while his son went to the medical clinic to steal some needles.
No matter what, he had to at least give it a try.
The young kidnapper left quickly and returned quickly too. According to Qiao Yin’s requirements, he brought back a whole set of silver needles of different lengths, as well as sanitizing supplies..
