Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 433: Burns and Plastic Surgery

“That kid from the Ning family was in a coma for two years.” Su Yi pondered long before continuing, “If the doctor can save even a comatose patient, then it shouldn’t be a problem for your mother.”

The last he heard was that Ning Sinian was not doing too well. A cloud of gloom loomed over the Situ family after the hospital concluded that there was nothing more they could do and that it was time to plan the last rites.

Out of nowhere, a doctor came into the picture and got the kid out of the coma. The Ning family was right smack in the middle among the wealthy and powerful but not to the point of such extensive connections.

“Honey, we should visit them and extend our good wishes. It’d give us the opportunity to ask about the miracle healer.” Li Jingran was touched by a glimmer of hope.

The doctor must be in the business for the money since word of his successful treatment spread like wildfire. Miracle healer or not, it was only a gimmick.

In Li Jingran’s mind, there was no way the doctor would treat the Ning family’s kid for free. If that were the case, the doctor must be the angel of mercy.

“Sure,” Su Yi responded.

The Su family was engaged in business with the Ning family. They were going to visit to extend their well wishes anyway, so there was no harm in asking about the doctor en passant.

Li Jingran made up her mind to find that doctor to get her mother the best care.

Everyone in the capital had their own thoughts and ideas about the reclusive miracle healer.

This was the least of Shen Xi’s concerns. She went to the hospital to check on Ning Sinian after school. She switched up Ning Sinian’s medication and informed his parents that she would no longer be coming over unless an emergency called for it.

Pei Xu drove the car, intending to cruise into her driveway.

Shen Xi was acting suspicious as she glanced at her front door before speaking to Pei Xu in hushed tones, “Drive straight ahead and stop next door.”

Pei Xu could tell what she was up to. However, it did not seem like a good idea to skip home and head to Toffeecito’s dad’s home instead.

This was not a question he should or had the guts to ask.

The car stopped at the entrance.

Holding her backpack, Shen Xi warily scanned her surroundings and got out of the car. She waved Pei Xu off. “Goodbye.”

Unable to bite his tongue, Pei Xu craned his neck out and gave a piece of advice. “You’re a girl. Remember to always protect yourself when you’re alone with a man.”

Shen Xi gleefully acknowledged and without looking back, she hurried to the door and pressed her finger on the fingerprint lock.

Following a beep, she reached out to push the door when the door abruptly opened from the inside.

Shen Xi was taken aback by the presence of a handsome mister. Dressed in casual wear, the man was quite a looker.

Those foxy eyes in particular captured the essence of countless brilliant stars – radiant yet shimmered a gentle glow.

Nevertheless, she could immediately tell by his eyes, face, and the apparent burn scar reaching from his neck to his ear, that that was not the man’s original face. If her guess was right, he must have suffered severe burns and gone through plastic surgery.
