Chapter 46 Affective Depression
980 Words
"Stop talking. I don't want to hear it." Molly Tao was on the verge of collapse. She stepped back until she was leaning against a small tree. Then she bent down slowly and held her knees with both hands. She was very tired.
Looking at the despair on her face, Jacob Ye slowly walked forward and said softly, "Let me treat you. Even if it's not for yourself, it's for the only two family members in the world that you care about."
Jacob Ye slowly reached out his hand.
There was a trace of confusion in Molly Tao's eyes. She stretched out her wrist like a robot.
Jacob Ye reached out and put his hand on her pulse. With a touch, Jacob Ye frowned slightly.
Molly Tao's body was very healthy and there was no problem judging from her pulse. But if you looked carefully, you could see that her pulse was slipped slightly and was slightly disordered. This was the disorder of the five internal organs caused by emotions.
Chinese medicine focused on the five internal organs. The change of people's emotions could affect them. The depression Molly Tao suffered from had caused the turbulence in the five internal organs. At this time, it was on the verge of collapse. If it was not treated in time, it might hurt the five internal organs, and then it would really mean trouble.
He slowly withdrew his hand and said, "Because of your emotions, your five internal organs have been in disorder. If it goes on like this, the consequences will be unimaginable. I wonder if you can let me treat you, for the sake of the people you care about in this world?"
Molly Tao did not answer but still hugged herself into a ball. She did not say a word. Letting a man touch her hand was already her upper limit. She could not let this disgusting creature treat her.
Of course, all men were just creatures to her.
Jacob Ye sighed helplessly.
The two of them sat there until evening.
It was not until Ryan Tao and David Tao came back together that Molly Tao stood up from the ground and returned to her room without saying a word.
"Jacob, how is Molly?" After Molly Tao left, David Tao asked anxiously.
"Because of depression, her five internal organs are displaced, and they are on the verge of collapse. If I don't treat them in time, I'm afraid there will be trouble." Jacob Ye said with a serious look.
"Do you have any good methods, Jacob?" David Tao was also a student of traditional Chinese medicine, so he naturally knew what disorder of the five internal organs meant. However, traditional Chinese medicine was not very good at treating mental illness, so he could only be anxious.
"There is a way. The treatment of 13 Ghost Needles will be very effective." Jacob Ye said.
"Then, have you applied acupuncture on her?" David Tao asked.
Jacob Ye shook his head. "Most of these diseases are because of her own feelings. If she rejects the treatment, even if I forcibly used the needle on her, it can’t be cured."
"What should we do?" David Tao asked.
"This can't be rushed. Don't worry, Elder Tao. I'll handle it. I need to find a way to convince her, but it may take a while," Jacob Ye said.
It was late, so Jacob Ye stayed at David Tao's house for dinner that day.
As he had been vanquished by Jacob Ye earlier, Ryan Tao had lost his appetite to eat and went back to his room after taking a few bites.
Ryan Tao had good medical skills, but he was arrogant. It was inevitable that he would be upset when he was defeated by a young man of the same age.
David Tao looked at Ryan Tao leaving gloomily. He smiled and said, "Ryan Tao is talented, but he always likes to show off. Let this time be a lesson to let him know that there is always someone better than him."
Then, David Tao changed the topic and immediately began to discuss some case studies of traditional Chinese medicine with Jacob Ye.
Jacob Ye had received the spiritual inheritance from his ancestor. His grandfather's ancestor was a Taoist priest who travelled all over the world, so he was experienced with difficult and complicated diseases.
In cases where David Tao thought were very difficult to treat, Jacob Ye often knew what would be the prescription for it. His solutions were always very appropriate.
Molly Tao was also a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Although she was cold-hearted, she was also very interested in traditional Chinese medicine.
Although she didn't say a word for the whole night, she actually listened to their conversation. But she just listened and didn't speak. She acknowledged Jacob Ye's medical skills.
At this moment, there was a rushed knock on the door.
Tao’s housekeeper ran to open the door and saw a young couple rushing through the door with a child in their arms.
It turned out that David Tao could not stop acquaintances from coming to his house to ask for medical treatment during odd hours. This young couple were distant relatives of the Tao family.
This child was about two years old, plump and fair, very adorable, but it was unknown why he had a high fever since the night before. Even fever injections in the hospital didn’t work out.
As he was crying in his parent's arms, his throat sounded a little hoarse.
David Tao looked at the child's situation and said with a smile, "It's a small matter. He was just frightened. I will give him a few needles and he will be fine."
Then, Master Tao took out a thin needle, stabbed at the joint of the child's middle finger, and squeezed out a little transparent liquid.
