The Urban Romance of Miracle Doctor

Chapter 47 Missing Soul Syndrome

　　　　According to past experience, the child would stop crying at most five minutes after acupuncture, and the fever would gradually fade away. But today, for some unknown reason, the child did not stop crying, but cried more and more severely.

　　　　Master Tao frowned slightly. When he was about to take a closer look, Molly Tao suddenly said, "Try calming soup."

　　　　Master Tao shook his head slightly and said. That effect will be exactly the same as acupuncture. It was strange. Obviously, this child had been frightened, but why was it ineffective after acupuncture?

　　　　Seeing that Master Tao couldn't solve the problem, the young couple grew anxious. The young mother began crying, and the father kept asking Master Tao to think of another way.

　　　　"The child is not just frightened, he has Missing Soul Syndrome," Jacob Ye said lightly.

　　　　"Missing Soul Syndrome?" The people present were shocked, and Elder Tao frowned.

　　　　Elder Tao murmured, "If it really is Missing Soul Syndrome, we'll be in trouble."

　　　　"Missing Soul Syndrome is just a superstition. You are a doctor," Molly Tao's good impression of Jacob Ye was greatly reduced. She said in a cold voice.

　　　　"Jacob, do you have any good ideas?" Master Tao asked doubtfully.

　　　　The young couple looked at Jacob Ye expectantly, hoping that he could find a way.

　　　　Jacob Ye nodded and said with a smile, "It’s simple. Let’s find a road juncture and carry the child there. Then, call out the child's name while walking on it, followed by “We are going home”. It will show its effect immediately."

　　　　"Are you saving people or speaking nonsense? How can you treat a patient this way?" Molly Tao glanced at Jacob Ye, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

　　　　"Sometimes Chinese medicine can bevery mysterious. Now that this child is like this, we can only try," Jacob Ye said.

　　　　"But..." The young couple hesitated.

　　　　If Jacob Ye said that the child needed to a needle or take some medicine, it would still be believable. It was just that this method was too simple, and it sounded too incredible. If it could cure the disease, children would not have to take medicine and injections anymore.

　　　　Seeing their hesitation, Jacob Ye smiled and said, "Brother, you returned home late the night before yesterday. At least after 12 o'clock."

　　　　The man nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, I came back quite late, I was drinking night."

　　　　Jacob Ye nodded and said, "That's it. This is the reason for the child's Missing Soul Syndrome. According to traditional Chinese medicine, Bad spirits gather at night, moreover, if you drink wine at night, you will bring some bad spirits home from outside."

　　　　"The child's resistance is weak. The bad spirit you brought home had frightened him. Next time, if you go home late, you’d better sit outside for a while and have a cigarette. Or you can go back the next morning. That will be better."

　　　　"Are you a doctor or a charlatan?" Hearing Jacob Ye's words, Molly Tao felt doubtful.

　　　　"Let’s try and see if it will work." Jacob Ye said, "If you don't believe me, you can follow me to have a look."

　　　　"Haha, you can have a try. This young man's medical skills are superb. I'm not as good as him," David Tao said with a smile.

　　　　"Okay, let's have a try," the young man said.

　　　　After the Tao family left the house, they found a crossroad on the left. Molly went out to see if Jacob’s treatment really worked.

　　　　The young couple took the child to the crossroad. As they walked, they shouted softly, "Bao, we are going home. Bao, we are going home..."

　　　　They slowly walked through the crossroad. After they had walked about ten meters, the child really stopped crying. When they looked at the child under the street lights, they saw that he had fallen asleep peacefully.

　　　　The couple was surprised and happy. They thanked Jacob Ye repeatedly. These few days, they had been tortured by the child’s illness. The child was crying so hard past few days that he went to deep sleep immediately.

　　　　Touching the child's forehead, they were surprised to find that the child's forehead was no longer feverish.

　　　　"Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much." The young man said to Jacob Ye gratefully.

　　　　Jacob Ye smiled slightly and said, "You're welcome." Then he stepped forward and felt the child's pulse. He said, "The child is fine. The weather is too hot. Don't hug the child so tight. He’ll be fine after sleeping. Remember not to go back so late in future."

　　　　"I will remember. Thank you, doctor." The child's father said gratefully to Jacob Ye.

　　　　The couple happily left with the baby.

　　　　Looking at the family go, Molly Tao was lost in thought.

　　　　"You can't explain the so-called Missing Soul Syndrome with traditional Chinese medicine." Her voice and expression were still cold, but her tone had somewhat softened. Obviously, she now acknowledged Jacob Ye's medical skills.

　　　　"I can't explain it. It’s just a lost soul. The child could not find his way home." In the face of situations where science couldn’t explain it, Jacob Ye told the truth for the first time.

　　　　"I'm asking a very serious question. I hope you can give me a serious answer," Molly said coldly.

　　　　"I have always been serious." Jacob Ye said seriously, but his eyes swept over Molly Tao's chest, revealing a hint of surprise.

　　　　"Are they beautiful?" Molly Tao was still expressionless. Somehow, she felt a hint of joy in her heart. For the first time in her life, she did not feel disgusted with a man other than her grandfather and brother.

　　　　"Beautiful, yes," Jacob Ye said with a smile.

　　　　"What a cowardly pervert." Molly Tao said angrily, then turned around and left.

　　　　Jacob Ye was stunned, he had felt the ease in her tone. This was a good progression for her depression. He immediately caught up with her and said, "Let me treat you."

　　　　"I know my illness very well. It's just a knot in my heart. It can't be cured." Molly Tao said absent-mindedly. For the first time in her life, she had spoken so much to a man.

　　　　"I'm a doctor. As long as you’re sick, I can cure it," Jacob Ye said with a smile.

　　　　"I'm fine. I don't need it," Molly Tao said coldly.

　　　　"You need it, you need to integrate into this society, you need to have friends, you need to have a relationship, you also need to get married and have children, then when you are old and sitting in a wheelchair, you can look through your photos, recalling your past memories."

　　　　"Human life is extremely short. You need to work hard to not leave any regrets in this short period of time." Jacob Ye suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Let me have a try, okay?"

　　　　Her eyes were still cold as she looked at Jacob. Jacob Ye also looked back at her. In Jacob Ye's eyes, she saw a kind of stubbornness. In the end, she looked away.

　　　　"Okay, you may treat my illness." After a long time, Molly Tao nodded slowly.
