Chapter 145 - This Vow Is Too Extreme!

After listening to Xu Xiyan’s explanation, Jing Huaduo was relieved.
But Huo Yunshen felt as if his world had fallen into darkness.
Was he only an ordinary friend to Xu Xiyan?
Since the misunderstanding had been clarified, and as long the Huo family did not get involved in his granddaughter’s love life, everything else was fine.
Jing Huaduo, who had always been a benevolent doctor, returned to the medicine hall and smiled.
“Young master Huo, I apologize to have kept you waiting. Since you are a friend of Yanyan, I’ll do my best to treat you.”
Huo Yunshen nodded calmly and thanked him.
Jing Huaduo proceeded to examine Huo Yunshen’s health. According to his decades of experience in medical practice, he believed that Huo Yunshen was very likely to stand up again.
When Jing Huaduo treated him with acupuncture, Huo Yunshen felt the nerves in his leg reacting and he could feel some slight numbness. This was a good sign.
“Young master Huo, in addition to your rehabilitation I suggest that you receive acupuncture treatment once a week with acupoint massage.”
Jing Huaduo continued matter-of-factly. “I can guarantee that within a year, you will definitely stand up again.”
Huo Yunshen was overjoyed. His eyes glimmered with gratefulness as he held onto Jing Huaduo’s hand. “Thank you, Mr. Jing, please treat me well.”
Xu Xiyan was also happy for Huo Yunshen. “Mr. Huo, you can rest assured that my grandfather’s words are oracular. If he says that you will stand up, then you will definitely stand up.”
“Okay!”
Huo Yunshen believed in their words. In the past, Professor Qin had also said that there was a high chance that Huo Yunshen would stand again. And now the old man said that he would stand up too. It seemed that he was not far from his day of victory.
Huo Yunshen seemed to have seen the light of hope, shining not far away from him. He would have to work harder and get rid of this wheelchair as soon as possible.
But what made him depressed and disappointed was that Jing Huaduo did not promise to help him with treatment.
“However, I cannot help you with the treatment. I’m sorry, Mr. Huo.”
“Why?” Huo Yunshen and Xu Xiyan asked, almost together.
“Because…I made a vow a few decades ago, that I would never treat the Huo family in this lifetime. I’ve staked my family’s life on this vow that if I ever treated the Huo family, my whole family would die. So, Mr. Huo, please leave!”
Jing Huaduo had always hated the Huo family. As long as Huo Xun came to his mind, he would feel very unhappy.
He believed that the reason why Huo Xun’s grandson had fallen into this situation was entirely because of Huo Xun’s bad deeds in the past, and that it was karma that his descendant had become a cripple.
He had deliberately told Huo Yunshen that there was hope for him to walk again. However, he would not help him unless that old monster Huo Xun personally came and begged him.
Damn it!
Why had Xu Xiyan not known that her grandfather had a strong grudge against the Huo family?
The Jing family would die if he treated Huo Yunshen?
This vow was too extreme!
“Grandfather, why did you make such vow? Who in the Huo family offended you?”
“Don’t ask so many questions. Just take your friend and leave!”
Jing Huaduo was in no mood to explain. He clasped his hands behind his back and left.
“Grandfather…” Xu Xiyan called after him but he continued to walk away. She looked back at Huo Yunshen hopelessly. She felt very sorry for him.
Her grandfather had told Huo Yunshen that he would not treat him, dashing his high hopes. That was such a cruel joke to Huo Yunshen!
“Jing Xi, don’t bother him anymore.”
Huo Yunshen had already accepted that there would never be an easy way out of his situation.
Jing Huaduo had no obligation or responsibility to treat Huo Yunshen. He couldn’t force him.
He moved his wheelchair towards the exit. “It’s all right, I’m fine with it anyways. Let’s go home.”
Xu Xiyan was really upset. To leave without any favorable outcome was not her way.
She told Yi Xiao to push Huo Yunshen to the van first and wait for her. She still had something to do.
