Mrs. Huo is a Crybaby Chapter 286

Of course, he would have never thought that it was the young lady who looked innocent and harmless in front of him who healed Elder Shen!
"Elder Shen, I beg of you. My mother is almost at her limit. I'm really left with no choice but to hassle you. I know miracle doctors are generally arrogant. Don't worry, if you tell me where the doctor lives, I will be respectful. I won't offend him."
Wei Ning bowed pleadingly.
Song Yaoyao deshelled some chestnuts, tilted her head curiously, and looked at the young man in front of her.
He had a neat crew cut, his appearance was masculine, and he wore loose unbranded athletics clothes. He looked pretty good, but he was unshaven, and he was slightly pale and vulnerable-looking.
Elder Shen glanced at Song Yaoyao and said helplessly, "This isn't my choice. As you know, skilled people are difficult to hire. The doctor saved my life, I can't do anything offensive. How about this, go home and wait. I'll contact the doctor, and if the doctor agrees, I'll get someone to notify you."
Song Yaoyao understood Elder Shen's gaze and analyzed Wei Ning.
He had a look of anguish on his face. When he heard the old man's reply, a look of despair crossed flashed across his eyes. He was a filial son.
Song Yaoyao nodded slightly.
The other people who were snooping around with gifts heard what Elder Shen said. Of course, they were disappointed, but there was nothing they could do if the old man was unwilling to reveal anything. They could only find other ways to investigate the miracle doctor's whereabouts.
Even if they didn't need her help now, who could say that they wouldn't need her in the future?
This was life; no one knew when bad luck would befall them. There was definitely no harm in befriending a miracle doctor who could pull someone back from the brink of death.

If they actually fell ill one day, this could be a lifesaver!
"Okay, Elder Shen, sorry for bothering you today. I hope you didn't mind."
"We will have to trouble you, Elder Shen. As long as the miracle doctor is willing to help, he can set any condition. The Wangs will definitely fulfill it!"
Wei Ning also bowed thankfully. Although he felt hopeless, he wasn't angry at Elder Shen for not helping. Everything relied on fate. Elder Shen was saved by the miracle doctor but he couldn't make decisions on behalf of her.
No matter how powerful and rich he was. When faced with a deadly illness, everyone was equal.
The crowd left the same way that they arrived. Wei Ning waited until everyone was pretty much gone before he also started walking out.
"Hey, little rascal, the apple you brought me a couple of days ago was not bad. Where did you buy it from? I'll ask my care worker to buy some," Elder Shen called him back curiously.
All the other people didn't give this a second thought. It was just a question.
So they walked off into the distance.
Wei Ning paused. A moment later, he was ecstatic.
Today was his first time here and he had brought expensive Chinese medicinal herbs. When had he ever brought Elder Shen apples? His comment was clearly an excuse to stop him from leaving.
"Elder Shen, you..."
He was so happy that his throat went dry.
After he turned his head and confirmed that the other people were far away, he began to walk back. He rubbed his hands and asked cautiously, "Are you willing to help me?"
"Ha! I'm not the one who's helping you. It's this brat..."
Elder Shen grinned and pointed at Song Yaoyao who was quietly deshelling chestnuts for Elder Huo.

Artemis
"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
