“Who is he? Did you register his name and address?” Su Yingxue asked with a frown.
“He’s a beggar outside the city, named Lai San. Sigh, if he hadn’t given me a silver ingot as a consultation fee, 1 wouldn’t have dared to let him stay in the clinic!” Manager Qi felt regret in his heart. He should have been more careful back then.
But now, since the mand had the consultation fee, he couldn’t deny him medical attention.
“A beggar from outside the city struggling even for basic necessities, how could he afford medical treatment? And why would he come straight to our clinic? Go and get Dr. Qin!” Su Yingxue immediately became vigilant.

Qin Ming had changed into a brown robe, was in his forties, with many years of medical experience. He was an old doctor who had worked at Tongchang Medical Center for many years.
Su Yingxue asked him, “Dr. Qin, your medical skills are superb. Can you determine the illness of Lai San?”
“It’s like scabies, severe inflammation. That’s why the infection has spread all over his body. Beggars like them often neglect hygiene, so their bodies fester with pus. With their nomadic lifestyle and frequent nausea and vomiting, it’s quite normal. It’s not difficult to treat, but it requires daily dressing changes and careful care,” Qin Ming said truthfully.
Su Yingxue nodded. “In that case, Dr. Qin, I’ll trouble you to personally take care of him for the next few days. Don’t let others handle it. Be cautious about any changes in his condition. Dr. Qin, please observe him closely at all times. I’m afraid his illness might not be that simple.”
Qin Ming agreed. “I understand. Don’t worry, Miss.”
In order to treat Lai San, Qin Ming didn’t go home for the past two days and stayed in the clinic.
Su Yingxue often found herself engrossed in her mother’s medical books until it was dark. When night fell, she simply slept in the study.
However, with Zi Wei around, she never felt cold at night.
When she woke up during the day, she would find herself covered with a blanket.
Su Yingxue was about to call Zi Wei to go to the bun shop in the east of the city with her and have a sumptuous breakfast when she heard Manager Qi’s voice from the front yard. “Miss, something bad has happened! Lai San’s disease was contagious. Dr. Qin and the others were infected!”
“What?!”
Su Yingxue hurriedly rushed out.
Fortunately, Manager Qi was quick-witted and closed the door of the clinic. He arranged for the other patients to be transferred to the branch clinic in the west of the city.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, the medical hall was filled with a strong stench.
Qin Ming and his two apprentices were vomiting at this moment. Their faces and hands were swollen with pustules, especially Qin Ming. Yellow fluid was flowing out of the pustules on his hands.
Su Yingxue tried to approach, but Manager Qi blocked her with his back facing her. “Miss, don’t go. This disease is too severe when it breaks out. I’m feeling a bit itchy now, and I’m afraid I might have caught the disease too!”
Su Yingxue’s eyes widened as she saw Manager Qi scratching his hand. Soon, the back of his hand broke open, oozing a mixture of blood and yellow fluid.
“Miss, I was careless. This disease is contagious, and the clinic is in big trouble!” Qin Ming regretted deeply. He had been careless and thought that it was just a minor ailment carried by the beggar, not realizing it was a type of contagious disease.
“Manager Qi, instruct everyone in the clinic who has been in contact with you, Dr. Qin, and me to gather in the treatment room. Those who haven’t been in contact, quickly send them home, and ask them to bring some mugwort, wash their bodies, boil it, take it, and stay at home without coming out.”
Manager Qi hurriedly wanted to go over, but Su Yingxue gave him a mask to put on. “Remember, don’t let them panic.”
Manager Qi nodded.. “Yes, Miss!”
