"You invited me here because you wanted me to treat Mr. Therese?" Li Donglai put down his coffee cup and frowned.
You went to such great lengths to invite me here just to treat people?
The Therese family has a long history and is quite powerful in Stockholm. Can they not even hire a famous doctor?
Or... Mr. Therese has a strange disease? Doctors with a background in Western medicine are helpless.
Miss Therese seemed to be aware of Li Donglai's thoughts, and said with a faint smile: "My father suddenly suffered from a strange disease more than ten years ago. Over the years, we have hired countless famous doctors, but none of them achieved good results. I heard that Donglai
There are folk remedies in Chinese herbal medicine, and folk remedies have unexpected effects on some strange diseases, so I am shamelessly bothering you."
"Folk remedies do exist, but they must be symptomatic. I can't draw a conclusion before seeing the patient." Li Donglai said in a deep voice.
Li Donglai's attitude was a bit beyond Miss Therese's expectations. She quickly stood up and added: "Don't worry, I know my father's illness. Even if you can't cure it in the end, I will still express my gratitude. My father is on the second floor now."
Waiting in your room, please come with me."
Li Donglai stood up and did not follow her, but asked a new question: "Have you ever been to the East?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Donglai realized that the time seemed to be wrong.
Miss Therese is 20 years old this year. Even if the elder Therese gave birth to Miss Therese when she was 40 years old, then the elder Therese was not born yet in 1900.
And May 28, 1900, was the time when the Eight Kingdoms entered the capital.
From a time perspective, it is naturally impossible for the old Therese to enter BJ with the Eight Nations.
After Li Donglai realized his mistake, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, let's go see the patient together?"
Miss Therese was extremely smart. She rolled her eyes and understood what Li Donglai meant.
A trace of doubt appeared on her face, she stood on the stairs and looked at Li Donglai and asked: "My father was not born yet, so naturally he could not appear in the capital.
However, I cannot understand your concerns.
If my father had indeed entered the capital, would you not have treated him?"
"Of course. I have no way to treat an executioner who has massacred my compatriots." Li Donglai said solemnly with a serious face.
Miss Therese frowned: "But as a doctor, shouldn't we treat all patients equally? In other words, there are no good or bad patients, and no nationality."
"Ha." Li Donglai shook his head and said with a smile: "Patients have no nationality, but doctors do. Doctors are first and foremost a person, and as long as they are human beings, they will have their own positions."
Li Donglai's statement was unacceptable to Miss Therese. She frowned and said, "You are too narrow-minded. As a doctor, you should treat all patients with a broad mind."
"A person who has never suffered is not qualified to persuade others to be kind."
"I have suffered..." Miss Therese sighed and said, "I can understand your thoughts."
Although the Therese family had not entered the capital, Sweden also sent a team to participate. According to the soldiers who returned, the tragic scene at that time was so horrific that some soldiers with good hearts were imprisoned for disobeying their superiors' orders.
Military justice.
Imagine that if Stockholm suffered such a tragic situation, as a Stockholmer, she would definitely find ways to seek revenge, let alone treat her enemies.
Li Donglai said: "You think you understand, but in fact you don't, but that's not important. Let's go take a look at the patient's condition now."
The two arrived at the second floor, and as soon as they walked into the corridor, there was a burst of noisy footsteps behind them.
A young man wearing a gray suit, a top hat, and holding a civilized stick rushed in from outside.
Behind him were two slightly older people. Judging from their faces, the three of them should be brothers.
Li Donglai saw Miss Therese looking a little surprised and a little angry when she saw the young man. He felt that he had noticed something, so he turned and stood aside.
As an outsider, we don’t need to get involved in matters between brothers and sisters.
really.
Miss Therese stared at Fred: "Fred, why didn't you inform the old housekeeper in advance when you came to visit father? You should know the rules."
Fred looked at Li Donglai, with a smile on his lips, and then turned his attention to Miss Therese's face: "Little sister, I heard that you hired a doctor for your father. Could it be this Oriental?"
Bar?"
"Fred, I have always arranged father's treatment. You'd better go back and take care of Mrs. Oslo!" Miss Therese's eyes widened and her tone was a little angry. But her heart was full of doubts. This time she invited Li Donglai.
We had already taken all the precautions to keep it secret, but why was Fred still aware of it?
"Father is the father of all of us, not just one person. The East is a pit of medicine, and the medical level is low. How can there be high-level doctors?" Fred took a step forward, smiled, and stared.
Miss Therese said: "You didn't deliberately find a quack doctor to treat your father just to seize the family property. I hope he dies soon!"
Vulgar! It’s so vulgar!
After Li Dong came to understand the whole thing, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
For the sake of her father's safety, an aristocratic lady asked a doctor to treat her father. When the brothers who were trying to seize the family property found out, they came with people to stop her.
Then, the unattractive doctor burst into a domineering spirit and slapped the noble lady's brother in the face.
Then he used his miraculous medical skills to cure the noble man.
In order to express his life-saving grace, the noble lord betrothed the noble lady to the doctor.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The doctor not only brought the beauty home, but also successfully obtained the property of the noble master, and has since reached the peak of his life.
It's so cliché.
Even my grandfather, a future reader, would not like to watch such a clichéd plot.
Li Donglai pinched his forehead and turned to look at Miss Therese: "Dear lady, as a doctor, when diagnosing and treating patients, you need to obtain the consent of the patient's family. Your family members seem to have different opinions on your father's treatment.
.In this case, I think it is better to wait for you to discuss it before sending the patient to the hotel where I am staying."
Miss Therese did not expect Li Donglai to leave at this time. After being stunned for a moment, she forced a smile and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Doctor Li. I will come to apologize to you in the future."
"Goodbye!"
Li Donglai ignored Fred, who had bulging nostrils, refused the old butler's offer to see him off, and walked straight out of the manor.
At the entrance of the manor, a dark gray car was waiting for a long time.
Li Donglai pulled up the car and sat in the back seat. He looked at Comrade Zhou next to him and said, "You really guessed it. Several other children from the Fred family learned that I was going to intervene and rushed in with their people.
In the manor.”
Li Donglai deeply admired Comrade Zhou's intelligence capabilities. You must know that this is Sweden, a place he is unfamiliar with, and few of the millions of people can speak Chinese.
"You don't need to flatter me. If you hadn't noticed that someone deliberately broke into the room frequently and tried to spy on Yan Bugui and the others, I wouldn't have been able to follow the clues and find Fred, the mastermind behind it."
Comrade Zhou was not happy because he guessed an internal dispute in a noble family.
On the contrary, his mood was a little heavy.
Li Donglai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, that noble lady is not as weak as we thought."
"I hope so." Comrade Zhou looked out the window with a far-reaching gaze.
He understands the concerns above. Intervening in the internal battles of this ancient family before the situation is clear may bring unpredictable risks.
night.
The stars twinkled like pairs of big eyes, watching everything under the night sky.
Therese stood in the garden on the second floor, looking at those lovely big eyes, filled with melancholy.
Old Therese has now completely fallen into madness.
In the afternoon, Professor Steer examined old Therese's body and found that blood transfusion could no longer suppress his madness.
If it cannot be treated as soon as possible, it is likely that time is running out.
If only the doctor from the East had been invited here earlier...
It's too late now. Fred has deployed manpower at the entrance of the manor. Once he finds Li Donglai, he will definitely try his best to stop him.
Without the support of old Therese, Miss Therese would not be able to fight against her three brothers.
Miss Therese somewhat hated her own hesitation.
She sighed deeply, opened the door and prepared to go to the end of the corridor to visit old Therese.
There were slight footsteps in the distance of the corridor, and Miss Therese clenched her fists slightly. In order to avoid disturbing old Therese's rest at night, the servants in the manor were not allowed to come to the second floor, even if the old housekeeper was not in a hurry.
case, it will not appear.
Moreover, the footsteps were very steady, different from the floating footsteps of the old housekeeper.
Miss Therese turned around and entered the room, taking out a pistol from the drawer. The heavy pistol made her feel a little calmer.
Holding the gun in both hands, Miss Therese opened the door and saw the black shadow of the person coming, reflected by the light, covering most of the corridor.
She took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, suppressed her inner panic, stopped her hands from shaking, and rushed out of the house.
The gun was pointed at the black figure.
"Stop...Ah, Doctor Li..."
Miss Therese recognized the person with just one glance. It was Li Donglai who had left the manor during the day.
Li Donglai took off his hat, flicked the grass blades on his body, and said with a smile: "Well, the walls of this manor are a bit high..."
"Pfft!" Miss Therese laughed out loud, then realized her gaffe and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
Li Donglai's arrival warmed Miss Therese's heart, and the dissatisfaction caused by Li Donglai's sudden departure during the day disappeared instantly.
Of course, Li Donglai didn't want to take this method of sneaking in. During the day, he could insist on treating old Therese like the hero in the novel in his previous life. I believe that with the blessing of the barefoot doctor system, he would definitely be able to slap him in the face.
, let Fred know what Chinese medicine is.
But Li Donglai is not a person now, he represents the country. Any behavior he does will be maliciously amplified by those with ill intentions.
Compared with the domestic interests, my temporary happiness is not worth mentioning at all.
Moreover, there is obviously a roundabout way to solve the problem, but to insist on a hard fight is too middle-of-the-road.
Miss Therese's beautiful eyes were flowing, her face was flushed, and she said with a smile: "I am very grateful for everything you have done for me and our Therese family. Don't worry, no matter what the result of the treatment is, our Therese family will
Remember this kindness."
"Let's see the patient first."
Li Donglai put on a calm look, but his heart was full of joy.
Runhua Company has always wanted to set foot in Europe, but lacks reliable allies. This is a good opportunity.
Of course, the premise of everything is to cure old Therese's illness.
The two walked side by side towards the end of the corridor. The closer they got to the iron door, the louder the roar came from inside.
Miss Therese looked at Li Donglai: "Doctor Li, don't worry, my father has been chained and cannot hurt you."
"Chains... It seems that old Therese's illness is very serious!"
When he met Old Therese, Li Donglai realized that he had underestimated Old Therese's condition.
At this time, old Therese's face was completely festered. Along with his roar, thick saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were confused. When he saw Li Donglai coming in, he waved his hands and rushed towards Li Donglai. Li Donglai smelled something.
A strong rotten smell.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This guy...can he really be saved?
"Doctor Li, this is my father. His condition is..."
Miss Therese seemed to be aware of Li Donglai's thoughts, and quickly explained the old Therese's condition in detail.
Facial ulcers, photophobia, skin allergies and blisters will occur when exposed to the sun. In the later stages of the disease, patients will lose their minds and fall into madness.
This appears to be....porphyria.
Porphyria is a genetic disease mainly characterized by impairment of ferrous hemoglobin synthesis.
In a normal human body, heme is synthesized through an 8-step enzyme-catalyzed reaction using basic substances such as glycine and iron ions as raw materials.
Unfortunately, if there is a step in the heme synthesis process that cannot be carried out due to a genetic defect.
This will lead to the accumulation of a large amount of intermediate products in the synthesis reaction, and even metabolize into toxic products, thus causing abnormalities in the accumulation tissue and leading to porphyria.
Porphyria patients need blood transfusions to relieve their pain, which can be said to be the prototype of vampires.
Porphyria is a genetic disease that usually occurs within families where close relatives marry. The Therese family once engaged in large-scale intermarriage with European royal families...
Thinking of this, Li Donglai looked at Miss Therese and asked: "Are any of your family predecessors from the British royal family?"
Miss Therese nodded: "My grandmother is a princess in England. Do you mean that my grandmother brought this disease?"
Miss Therese is a smart person. Considering that several cases of the same disease have appeared in England, she vaguely guessed the truth of the matter.
"There is no point in discussing this now."
As Li Donglai spoke, he activated the Barefoot Doctor system.
