Want To Enroll In A University Part 3

The moment Dr. Ren returned to Long Medical Hospital, he entered his private laboratory and locked the door.

"Did the SmartCom truly malfunction? I have to make sure." Dr. Ren was still doubtful about the results of the health screen. He hurriedly set up his equipment and connected his SmartCom to his WebCom and put on his Shades.

The moment his consciousness entered the WebCom world, he checked the results three times.

"This...this results really Young Madam Long's severed nerves are reconnected!" Dr. Ren was shocked out of his mind.

A patient, discharged with a report of being a cripple for life actually has the astounding result of being able to walk in a few months!

Dr. Ren felt his head spin with excitement and disbelief. He took off the WebCom Shades and stood trembling in place.

"This is it! If I find out how this happened, I'll make the breakthrough I need to become famous in the medical institute! Haha!"

He threw back his head and laughed maniacally, tears unrestrainedly streaming down his face.

"Thinking about it, Young Master Long's face didn't seem right. Maybe he doesn't want his wife's recovery to be exposed. I...I need to quickly leave from here" He bent to pack his equipment again. Right at this moment, when he was wrapping the wires, his sight fell on the cut wire of the SmartCom.

"This...this wire is cut..." His face fell and his shoulders sagged. Dr. Ren dejectedly slumped back in his seat.

"Heh...I must've lost my mind. How did I ever think a cripple for life could walk in a few months?"

The cut wire only had one meaning. The health screen of Young Madam Long was inaccurate.

If he had told Young Master Long his would recover in a few months, but she failed to do so, then his medical career would've been over.

At this thought, cold shiver ran down his spine.

He hurriedly deleted the health screen report of Young Madam Long from his patient portal.

Only then did he slump back in his seat and breathed in relief.

Back at the Long Mansion, Long Tian sat in front of his wife as he waited for her to wake up.

Qing Yue groaned uncomfortably, fighting off a giant headache, and open her eyes.

"Yue'er, you're awake. Are you feeling better?" Long Tian worriedly moved to her side and supported her to sit up.

"I...I was in the bathtub?" Seeing she was in bed, her eyes went to her husband.

"I found you passed out in the tub. There was a strange fragrance and medicinal dregs on the floor..." Long Tian intently stared at her. He didn't question her, but his wording should've been enough to get her to speak. He wanted her to tell him what she had been doing.

What those strange herbs were.

Qing Yue felt his keen gaze and sighed.

She knew she couldn't hide this anymore. At least, not from her husband.

"Brother Tian, I'll tell you everything. But first, you have to promise me not to share this with anyone. I'll tell you only after you promise me." She lifted her head and held his gaze.

Her strong aura and firm gaze stunned Long Tian.

How did an 18-year-old year command such an authoritative aura and unyielding will?

But recalling how she'd even dared to charge into a flaming hover, his surprise faded away in the next second.

Returning her firm gaze, he solemnly vowed. "I promise. I won't share this with anyone unless you want me to."

"Um!" Qing Yue smiled and relaxed. She pushed herself back to lean on the bedframe and took a deep breath.

Since Long Tian promised, she wasn't afraid he'd tell anyone about her self-treatment without her permission.

"Brother Tian, the thing is...after that night, I've been secretly treating myself from 5-6 am in the restroom. Usually, the treatment doesn't take more than 50 minutes and I'd be done by the time light descended. However, the treatment today was different. By the time I was done, I didn't even possess the strength to keep my eyes open." Recalling the bone-chilling, soul-rending, excruciating torture she went through, Qing Yue inadvertently shivered.

It was beyond her comprehension of how she'd managed to endure such pain.

"Long story short, I used high-level poison content herbs to stimulate my dead legs, followed that with acupuncture and moxibustion to realign the severed nerves and stimulate them back to work. In a matter of two to three weeks, I should be able to walk on my own."

"You used poison...?" Long Tian's face turned dark.

Poison? She used poison on her body, on her own.

Without supervision. Without a second opinion.

If anything had gone wrong while she treated herself, he wouldn't have been able to explain himself to Uncle Li.

Qing Yue felt the frost invading the room and realized her husband was less than pleased with her feat.

"Brother Tian, I...it was the only way. I know my body and I know the level of advancement in medicine in the New World Formation. It's because I knew that I took such a step. Aside from the extreme method of poison and acupuncture, no modern medicine can treat me."

"Whether modern medicine can treat you or not, you had no right to use poison on yourself without consulting with me. If anything happened to you while..."

"Nothing would have happened. Brother Tian, I might not look like it, but I'm a poison genius. If I claim to be the number two poison expert, then no one in the entire New World Formation would dare to claim number one." She lightly chuckled.

Heh...thanks to Li Feng's torturous poison study, Qing Yue can proudly use this title now.

"But I never heard anything about that from Uncle Li..." Long Tian's expression was filled with suspicion and disbelief as he said this.

"Your Uncle Li won't know it, because I never shared it with him. If I was still in school, then this matter wouldn't have remained concealed." She wasn't a poison expert at that time. But thanks to her knowledge from her previous life, she could've been considered a traditional medicine genius.

"School? Aren't you in school now?"

Qing Yue's face turned stiff.

This was a thorn in her heart she never wanted to mention. While Yei Yi and the other girls her age attended Junior High and went off to university, she finished the courses for Junior High School at home and online.

Long Tian frowned when he saw her proud smile disappear.

"Yue'er, we are husband and wife now. Between us, there shouldn't be any secrets that can lead to misunderstandings. From your face, I can tell that there's a story I should know as your husband. Tell me. Are you in school?"

Qing Yue raised her head and looked into his black-blue eyes. Those eyes were the ones she saw under the hood of flame, metal, and blood.

They were the eyes of the person who saved her.

The person whom she could trust and the one she'd be living the rest of her life with.

"When I was 12, I got kidnapped by a group of gangs."

She didn't want to withhold anything from this person.
