My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1125 - 1126: There Are Still Subtle Differences

His voice was very low, yet Susan still heard him. She glanced at him and said indifferently, "You’re here to find a doctor, not a mother. What do you need an older one for?"

Gu Ming’s face changed upon hearing her outrageous remark. He was about to step forward in anger when Li Shengxiao pulled him back and ordered, "You go out first."

"Mr. Li." Gu Ming was worried.

Li Shengxiao looked mature and calm, ignoring his surprise and reluctance, "Go out first."

No one dared to make Li Shengxiao repeat himself a third time.

Having followed this man for so long, Gu Ming knew his temper very well. Even though he was reluctant, he had no choice but to glance at Chu Xi and the young doctor in the white coat before waiting at the door.

Li Shengxiao walked over to the chair in front of the desk, sat down after pulling it out, and got straight to the point, "I’ve come to ask you to look into my family’s hereditary disease. I heard you’ve encountered a similar case before. If you have a way to treat this condition, name your price."

It was the first time Susan had met a man so direct about letting her name her compensation. She took a good look at him, and when she clearly saw his face, she couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly.

What a handsome man.

Aesthetics may vary from festival to festival, but beauty knows no borders, and this man’s facial features seemed close to perfection. Even though she had long lost interest in appearances, seeing such an exceptionally handsome man still evoked an appreciative expression.

"No need for money," Susan said as she tidied up the things on her desk and flipped open a notebook to continue, "Having money is useless to me; I’m not even a full-time doctor but just happened to treat a similar case. I’ve heard about your condition from Chu Xi before. Let’s do this: I’ll start by giving you a check-up and get a better grasp of your situation. Whether I can cure you or not is still uncertain. If I can, you won’t need to pay me. I owe her a favor and promised to repay her. This can count as me repaying that favor; if you want to provide compensation, you can give it to her."

When she was collecting samples in the Solly Sea Area, she had encountered pirates and was nearly at death’s door. It was by a fortuitous coincidence that Chu Xi saved her.

Thus, she owed Chu Xi a favor.

She didn’t like owing favors and, combined with her clashing personality with Chu Xi, carrying this debt made her uncomfortable. If she could return the favor now, she would be more than willing. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

She was efficient; as soon as she finished speaking, she began to inquire about Li Shengxiao’s episodes, the timing, specific reactions, and noted everything down. She then used the equipment available here to conduct a simple examination on Li Shengxiao.

After the examination, she looked at the printed report with furrowed brows, as if encountering a problem, "Your condition..."

"How is it?" Chu Xi seemed to be even more concerned about the condition than Li Shengxiao himself.

Susan lifted her head and said frankly, "His situation is roughly the same as the patient I treated before, but there are also slight differences. For instance, the patient I treated experienced headaches and night sweats under specific conditions, like catching a cold; he doesn’t. Before each of his episodes, there’s no apparent discomfort; it just happens. Plus, his condition is more severe than the one I treated before; aside from headaches, he also gets a fever. By that count, his case is much more serious than the one I treated."

"Is there a treatment?"

Susan looked at her and said bluntly, "The same method I used before: if it works, it works; if not, then there’s nothing to be done."
