Dr. Lin wanted to save him more than anyone else, but there was really no other way. He shook his head gently, "If there were even the slightest hope, I would want to save him more than anyone else."

Just because of the thousand-year-old ginseng that girl gave him, there was only a sliver of hope, he would definitely do everything he could to save her.

At this moment, he only regretted that he had medical skills but could not save the person he wanted to save.

Ling's father and mother were both silent for a while. They were angry that their son had done such a thing, and although they were prepared that their son would not live much longer, they still could not accept it when it came to the present.

In the courtyard, Du Mingxian was peacefully massaging Ling Silang's legs and did not hear any noise from the main room. After a long while, Ling's father brought Doctor Lin out.

Dr. Lin looked at Du Mingxian and said, "Girl, see me off."

"Okay." Du Mingxian told Ling Silang, "You lie here and sunbathe. I'll go see Dr. Lin off."

"it is good."

After going outside with Doctor Lin, they could no longer see the courtyard. Only then did Doctor Lin speak, "Si Lang's health has not improved at all. Even if we take good care of him recently, we can only help him stand up and live like a normal person for a few days."

"Is there any other way?" she asked.

Dr. Lin shook his head. "We haven't found any solutions."

Du Mingxian felt a pang of heartache that made her breath catch in her throat, but she dared not show it. "Thank you."

Dr. Lin wanted to say something, but the words wouldn't come out. "Go inside, I'm going back."

"it is good."

Watching Doctor Lin's carriage drive away, Du Mingxian stood at the door for a while before calming down and going home.

Ling Silang was asleep in the courtyard again. Perhaps because of the sunshine, he was sleeping comfortably and soundly.

Seeing this, Du Mingxian went in to cook for him. She had been making different dishes for him these past two days, but Ling Silang could only eat a little bit each time. Even with spiritual water, it was the same, and the effect was not significant.

When Ling's mother walked in, she saw that Du Mingxian couldn't hold back her tears. Du Mingxian glanced at the yard, stepped forward, and gently patted Ling's mother's shoulder, "Let's think of other ways. Maybe there's still hope."

Ling's mother cried. Doctor Lin was a famous doctor, and even he said there was no hope, which showed how slim the chances were.

Du Mingxian didn't know how to comfort Ling's mother, so she could only stay by her side silently.

She also wanted to ask Ling Silang for help. She had so many good things in her space, but now it seemed that nothing she put into Ling Silang was effective.

She used to think that as long as she was there and the spiritual water was kept, Ling Silang would definitely be able to live, even if his body could not fully recover, just that he would be weaker than a normal person.

But only now does she realize that it's not like that at all.

Now, it seems his body isn't absorbing the spiritual water, and the formulas using spiritual water for nourishment don't seem to be very effective.

After crying her fill, Ling's mother said in a hoarse voice, "I want to take him out for a walk."

Du Mingxian was stunned.

“He has been in poor health since childhood, and he would feel particularly unwell every time the seasons changed. He would stay indoors and couldn’t even go out. He had to take medicine for a long time before he gradually got better.”

"After you married into the family, you had to take medicine every few days. In winter, when it was so bad you couldn't even get out of bed. It was a little better in summer."

"He is a scholar, knowledgeable and yearning for the outside world. He wants to see it, and I can feel his eyes shining whenever he talks about the outside world."

“He was in poor health before, so we didn’t dare let him go, but now… given his condition, I want him to go and see the doctor, so that he won’t have any regrets.”

Du Mingxian understood Ling's mother's thoughts, "Mother, I'm afraid he himself won't want to go."

"Mother, go and ask him. If he's willing, we'll go with him."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian continued cooking. She saw that Ling's mother went back to the house first, washed her face, and then went to the yard to sit with Ling Silang. Ling Silang was lying down and asleep, and Ling's mother sat quietly beside him.

After an unknown amount of time, the aroma of Du Mingxian's cooking wafted out, and Ling Silang slowly woke up, meeting his mother's concerned gaze. "Mother."

"You're awake! Can you smell the delicious food? Mingxian made something tasty."

"Kind of."

"Lie down and I'll get it for you."

"it is good."

Ling's mother brought in some pastries, but Du Mingxian didn't follow her out. Recently, Ling Silang's mouth had been feeling bitter, so she would subconsciously make some sweets for him to eat.

Ling's mother carried the food out, while Du Mingxian was still busy in the kitchen.

"Eat up, Mingxian's cooking is really good, it smells delicious."

"Mother, eat with me."

"it is good."

The mother and daughter each took a piece of pastry. After eating half of it, Ling's mother said, "Now that the weather is warm, and with Mingxian here this year, I'd like to go out for a walk with you two. What do you think?"

Ling Silang lowered his eyes slightly, "Mother, I get tired even after walking a few steps now, so I'm afraid I can't travel."

Going out is inconvenient and only burdens others.

When he forced himself to come out of the house, Mingxian didn't say anything, and even thoughtfully massaged him to relieve his trembling legs from exertion.

Such a thoughtful person, how could he bear to let others suffer?

“There are three of us: your father, Mingxian, and me. We can definitely take care of you.”

Ling Silang shook his head. "Mother, I just want to stay at home and not go anywhere. No matter how beautiful the scenery outside is, it's not as beautiful as the scenery in our yard."

Seeing that Ling Silang genuinely didn't want to go, Ling's mother said nothing more, "Alright, if Silang says he doesn't want to go, then he won't go."

"Mother," Ling Silang suddenly called out solemnly.

Ling's mother's hand trembled slightly as she held the pastry. She hurriedly stuffed a bite into her mouth, barely tasting it. "Hmm?"

"Mother, if I really leave, don't be sad or upset."

Ling's mother didn't dare to look at Ling Silang. Her eyes were stinging, and her heart ached as if it were being squeezed. But she endured it and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I've been prepared for this all these years."

Ling Silang smiled, "I know Mother is the most soft-hearted. If I leave, I'm afraid Mingxian won't be able to accept it. She's only been married for less than a year and she's already a widow. I'm afraid that after I leave, someone will bully her."

Ling's mother laughed when she heard this.

This child really dotes on his wife. He should really send his son out to find out what Du Mingxian's reputation is in the village now, and who would dare to bully her or think they're too old to live.

"Okay, your wife, even if you... even if you really pass away in the future, as long as your mother and father still have a breath left, we will definitely protect her." Ling's mother agreed with a smile.

She also really liked this daughter-in-law.

Ling Silang nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you, Mother."

Ling's mother turned around, tears welling in her eyes, "You silly child, I'm your mother, you don't need to be so polite with your mother."

“I have been a burden to this family since birth. My older brothers have been working hard for me. My mother also requires my sister-in-law to treat me well. I am so lucky to have been born from my mother’s womb. I want my mother to be my mother again in the next life.”

With tears in her eyes, Ling's mother said, "Fine, you can be reborn into my womb again in your next life, and I'll still love you just as much."
