Rural Mad Doctor

Chapter 498 Will You Stay With Me Tonight?

At this moment, Cao Erdan looked down at her, and Ouyang Yuwei quickly looked away.

To ease his embarrassment, he tried to start a conversation with Cao Erdan:

"Dr. Cao, when will I get better? I know about my father and brother's situation. I want to get better as soon as possible to take charge of the group, otherwise the Ouyang family will fall apart!"

This young lady is definitely a business elite with her own opinions.

She wouldn't be discouraged by her family's misfortunes; in her eyes, the entire Ouyang family's business empire was the future.

If I don't immediately get to work, not to mention the intrusion of external enemies, even internal disputes will arise within the Ouyang family.

If internal strife breaks out, it will be extremely difficult to salvage the situation.

Cao Erdan said, "Your illness is too severe. It can't be cured overnight. You'll be able to move around freely in a day or two, but to fully recover and have the energy to manage the business, it will take at least ten days to half a month!"

Ouyang Yuwei couldn't help but worry: "That won't do! It's taking too long! I need to hurry up. Ideally, I should be able to take office within three days, and at the latest, no more than five days. Otherwise, based on my understanding of the group's shareholders, things will definitely get chaotic!"

As Cao Erdan rubbed his hands together to release dragon energy, he thought:

The dragon energy I'm infusing into her is only temporary; it will gradually dissipate once I remove my hand.

Dragon energy has a restorative effect, but it cannot cure diseases instantly; it takes time.

If we want to go even faster, we'll have to resort to rare and precious natural ingredients.

Miss Ouyang has taken a lot of ginseng and lingzhi medicines, and has developed drug resistance to them.

He muttered to himself, "To make it any faster, unless... we have thousand-year-old living coral for medicine..."

Ouyang Yuwei was also worried after hearing this.

"Red coral might be easy to find, but thousand-year-old red coral is a different story!"

While it's not necessary to find red coral that has lived for a thousand years, it does require coral that has accumulated and grown for at least several hundred years.

Red coral is a precious marine organism that grows slowly, increasing by only a few millimeters each year.

Therefore, large red coral reefs or branches may indeed take hundreds or even thousands of years to form.

Red corals inhabit the deep seabed. Due to their strict requirements for growth environment and slow growth rate, red coral resources are extremely limited.

Because of their value, over-harvesting has led to the endangerment of red coral reefs in many areas.

Asking for a thousand-year-old coral on short notice would probably take longer than Cao Erdan curing Ouyang Yuwei with a medicinal bath.

Just then, Li Yuzi entered.

She has made up her mind.

No matter how much Cao Erdan belittled him, he never lost his temper.

She realized that Cao Erdan wasn't simply after money; he was only after she had offended him with her words.

Therefore, a sincere apology is perhaps better than throwing money at someone.

So I just came in.

Hearing them mention "millennial red coral," I couldn't help but ask, "Yuwei, you know about tonight's auction too?"

"What auction?"

Ouyang Yuwei asked a question.

"Didn't you say it's a thousand-year-old red coral? There's some up for auction at the seaside cruise ship auction tonight. It's on the bidding list, and they even invited me to be a guest!"

Ouyang Yuwei was overjoyed:

"Quickly, bring the receipt and let Dr. Cao see if it's okay. As long as it works, the price is no problem!"

Upon hearing that it was for making a medicinal ingredient, Li Yuzi quickly took out her phone:

"I have it in my photo album."

He handed it over to Cao Erdan to see.

Cao Erdan's hands were still on Ouyang Yuwei's body and had not been withdrawn.

He tilted his head to look at it.

Li Yuzi handed over the phone.

Looking into the bathtub from her angle...

Needless to say, Ouyang Yuwei wasn't wearing anything, so it was obvious at a glance.

And now Nurse Li's true colors are fully revealed.

Li Yuzi looked at Cao Erdan again and saw that his eyes were fixed on the phone screen in her hand.

That kid's got a good eye!

Two beautiful women were being so open and honest with him. Could he handle it?

But seeing Cao Erdan talking eloquently about prescriptions, I couldn't help but admire him a little. This kid looks wicked, but he might not be so bad after all.

Cao Erdan looked at the photo in her hand, nodded and said, "This is good, it is indeed a red coral that is quite old, but I'm afraid it won't be cheap at the auction!"

Ouyang Yuwei added, "It's alright, as long as there's a price over there, I'll make the payment right away. Could you please go there tonight, Mr. Cao?"

Cao Erdan tightened his grip and loosened his grip: "It's alright, I'll help you to the end!"

Ouyang Yuwei immediately cried out "Ah!"

Her face immediately flushed red.

Although Cao Erdan's behavior was somewhat frivolous, he was still respected by the beautiful women because of his superb medical skills.

After a short period of treatment, when Ouyang Yuwei came out of the water again, she was able to dress herself.

With the help of Nurse Li, she was able to slowly walk out on her own.

When I went in, I was in a wheelchair, but now I can walk slowly without getting out of breath.

This immediate effect gave Li Yuzi even more confidence.

As soon as Cao Erdan came out, she immediately made tea for him and brought it to him.

Afraid of losing face if Xiao Li saw her like that, she sent Xiao Li to the inner room to serve Ouyang Yuwei and help her rest.

Then, they respectfully offered the tea, bowing and smiling obsequiously.

"Dr. Cao, I was blind to your greatness before and offended you with my words. Now I sincerely apologize to you and hope that you will be magnanimous and not hold it against me!"

Cao Erdan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her timid and hesitant manner.

Li Yuzi was so amused by the laughter that she felt uneasy: "Dr. Cao, what are you laughing at? I'm seriously apologizing to you!"

"So you're not going to say I'm faking an accident?"

"I'm not going to say anything more, I've already checked Baidu on my phone, the rear-end collision is entirely my fault!"

"So you're not going to call me a medical fraud anymore?"

"I won't say anything more. Your miraculous healing skills are like Hua Tuo reincarnated or Bian Que reborn. I was blind to your abilities and spoke the wrong thing!"

"You're not going to call me a hooligan anymore?"

"Enough of that! Doctor Cao is a dashing and handsome young man, a true dragon among men. How could he be called a rogue!"

Cao Erdan was so flattered by her that he became arrogant.

As expected of a movie actor, he can pull off any role!

Cao Erdan nodded and said, "Alright, seeing that your attitude is good, I won't ask you for money. But if I just treat you like this, you'll definitely think to yourself, 'This idiot was fooled by my sweet talk'..."

"No, no, Doctor Cao is so intelligent and wise, how could I possibly fool him? Besides, I haven't said a single false word!"

Cao Erdan waved his hand: "Alright, stop pulling me. I can help you with the treatment. You stay with me tonight!"

"what?"

Li Yuzi never expected Cao Erdan to be so pragmatic.

She directly presented the condition she feared most.

In fact, she could afford even 100 million yuan in medical expenses, and she would consider anything more.

But... this kid looks like a scoundrel. If he really wants to mess with me, wouldn't he ruin my reputation?
