Chapter 264 Hereditary Heart Disease

Southern Hospital, Emergency Department.

“Don’t be nervous. Your daughter was out of danger when she was brought in.”

Jiang Tongxin, wearing a white coat, briefly examined Song Moyi, who had woken up on the hospital bed. She comforted Ruan Xingwen, whose expression was tense, saying, “We’ll give your daughter a comprehensive cardiac examination. Once the results are out and confirm everything is fine, you can take her home.”

“Okay, thank you, Doctor.”

Hearing that her daughter was out of danger, Ruan Xingwen’s worried heart finally relaxed.

“Mom…”

Lying on the bed, Song Moyi, with a pale face, spoke weakly, “I… I wasn’t feeling well and told the teacher, but he ignored me…”

Ruan Xingwen went over, crouched down, and held her daughter’s small hand, trying her best to hide her anger. She smiled and comforted her, “It’s okay now, Moyi. Mommy doesn’t blame you.”

“Can I still go to school in the future?” Song Moyi’s pitiful look was heart-wrenching.

“Yes, when you’re better, we’ll go back to school.” Ruan Xingwen nodded and smiled unnaturally, but her heart ached.

Her husband had also suffered from inherited congenital heart disease and had passed away due to a sudden heart attack that was not treated promptly. Now, her daughter had also inherited this heart condition, which was diagnosed when she was two years old. Ruan Xingwen had been devastated at that time…

For so many years, she had carefully protected her daughter, preventing her from engaging in strenuous activities, let alone taking her to amusement parks for thrilling rides like roller coasters…

Therefore, Song Moyi couldn’t live like a normal child, which already made Ruan Xingwen feel distressed. To have this happen today made her incredibly angry…

At this moment, several people arrived at the ward entrance. It was Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang, Song Sinan and Qi Miaomiao, Wei Renxin, and Zhang Xiaoyu, each carrying fruit baskets and flowers…

“Why are you here?”

Jiang Tongxin, who was still in the ward, turned her head and saw Wan Yunting outside. She had been wanting to ask him about Ke’er’s news…

“Yes, we’ve come to see the child.”

Wan Yunting hadn’t entered yet. As he hadn’t received Ruan Xingwen’s permission, it was better to maintain politeness with Gu Luotang and the others by staying outside.

Jiang Tongxin had also heard about the situation. She knew the little girl on the bed was a student at Xingyao Primary School, and this incident had happened on the very first day of classes…

Ruan Xingwen stood up. As she turned, her expression turned grim, and her gaze was cold as she looked at Wan Yunting at the door. However, upon seeing the young man who had just rescued her daughter, her expression softened slightly. She asked, “You teachers must give me an explanation for this matter!”

Wan Yunting nodded and said, “Could you allow us to go in and see her?”

Ruan Xingwen’s face was sullen, and she remained silent. Wan Yunting then turned and nodded to Gu Luotang, Song Sinan, and the others, and they walked into the ward together. They placed the flowers and fruit baskets aside. Seeing that the little girl on the hospital bed had woken up, Gu Luotang, Qi Miaomiao, and Song Sinan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

“We apologize, Ms. Ruan. On behalf of all the teachers in our Traditional Chinese Medicine department, I offer our sincerest apologies.” Wan Yunting, along with Gu Luotang and the others, bowed slightly to Ruan Xingwen, their apologies extremely sincere.

Ruan Xingwen looked at them coldly. “I don’t need your apologies. I just want to know how your school will handle this!”

Wan Yunting looked up at her and nodded. “Our school has expelled the teacher who made the mistake, Ye Zhaohui. Therefore, we hope you, Ms. Ruan, can forgive our oversight.”

Upon hearing that their school had expelled the arrogant teacher, Ruan Xingwen’s expression softened slightly, but she remained very angry. After all, it was the negligence of their school teacher that led to her daughter’s heart attack.

If Song Moyi had taken her medication promptly, her heart condition wouldn’t have acted up.

“Doctor Wan, did you save this child?” Jiang Tongxin, who was standing nearby, asked.

This was because she had found faint traces of silver needles on Song Moyi’s chest.

“Yes.”

Wan Yunting nodded. He then turned to look at Song Moyi, who was lying on the bed with a timid gaze. Perhaps due to the day’s events, seeing her mother worried and angry, she was scared that she wouldn’t be able to attend school anymore.

“Actually, her congenital heart disease can be treated and cured!” Wan Yunting said with a smile.

These words made Ruan Xingwen’s expression freeze. She turned and looked intently at Wan Yunting. Knowing that he was a TCM teacher at the school and that he had been the one to rescue her daughter, she was somewhat moved by his statement that her daughter’s heart condition could be cured!

After all, over the past few years, Ruan Xingwen had taken her daughter to various major hospitals for treatment and had consulted TCM doctors. However, because Song Moyi’s congenital heart disease was inherited and relatively rare, it was different from common congenital heart conditions!

This was because ordinary congenital heart disease could heal on its own by the age of five.

But Song Moyi’s inherited heart disease not only did not self-heal by the age of five but actually worsened!

“Her condition is inherited, isn’t it?”

Wan Yunting then turned to Ruan Xingwen and asked. She nodded.

Wan Yunting continued with a smile, “Her type of inherited heart disease is quite special. As she grows older, it not only doesn’t ease but will become more severe. In fact, at a certain age, the heart disease will frequently act up, won’t it?”

Ruan Xingwen knew he was asking her. Her husband’s heart condition had indeed frequently acted up before his death, until one night, he died from a heart attack that could not be saved!

In fact, Wan Yunting had already guessed that her daughter’s father had passed away. “Her current age is the optimal stage for treatment!”

Wan Yunting looked at Song Moyi on the bed and said to Ruan Xingwen, “Western medicine can only control her heart condition from occurring, but it cannot eradicate this disease. If treated with Traditional Chinese Medicine, the effects will be even better.”

“Of course, the treatment period will be long, as this condition is special!”

“Teacher Wan, I’m curious, if you treat it with Traditional Chinese Medicine, how would you do it?”

Wei Renxin, standing nearby, asked the same question that Zhang Xiaoyu and Qi Miaomiao had.

This was because when they heard Wan Yunting say that TCM could treat this girl’s inherited congenital heart disease, Wei Renxin couldn’t imagine what kind of treatment method would be used to cure this condition!

“Acupuncture!”

As a result, Gu Luotang and Song Sinan answered this question for Wan Yunting in unison.

“That’s right!”

Wan Yunting turned back, smiled, and nodded at Gu Luotang and Song Sinan, then turned to Ruan Xingwen and said gently, “First, we need to understand that congenital heart disease is a congenital deformity at birth, meaning her heart is incomplete. If acupuncture is used in conjunction with herbal medicine, it will improve her heart function, and as she develops, her heart will gradually return to normal.”

“I understand…”

Wei Renxin and Zhang Xiaoyu nodded as they listened. Gu Luotang and Song Sinan’s gazes never left Wan Yunting, and their admiration for him grew even greater.

Especially Song Sinan, who had heard about how skillful Wan Yunting’s medical abilities were before. Initially, she was unconvinced and wanted to find an opportunity to discuss medical skills with him.

Until today’s incident, when Song Moyi had a heart attack in the classroom, Song Sinan and everyone else were helpless. However, it was Wan Yunting who timely used acupuncture, combined with his powerful internal energy, to save the girl.

Song Sinan also practiced traditional martial arts, but she had only reached the intermediate stage of Dark Energy, not yet the level of Transforming Energy, where internal energy could be projected outward!

When she saw Wan Yunting wrap the silver needles with qi at the time, Song Sinan was shocked beyond words, because such powerful qi was something she had only seen from her own grandfather!
