Old Madam Hua didn't believe it either. Her entire body was swollen and causing her great discomfort. Despite various hospital examinations, no cause could be found. How could this young girl diagnose the cause after just taking her pulse for two minutes?
"Young Doctor, why don't you take my pulse again?"

Si Mingjing glanced sideways at him.
