Mekawa Kukko shook her head, her attitude uncompromising.
"That's absolutely impossible!"
But Chen Bin wasn't holding back either, his tone just as firm.
"Honestly, I don't want to examine you either. But that's how Chinese medicine works—you have to see the problem with your own eyes to treat it properly. If you won't cooperate, you'll just have to go to the hospital for tests."
For Mekawa Kukko, this was a difficult choice to make.
The main reason she was willing to let Chen Bin examine her was that his medical skills were said to be nothing short of miraculous.
The other reason was that Mekawa Kukko didn't want to go to the hospital.
Politics in Japan was like a swirling whirlpool, a single misstep could cost you your position.
If news got out that she'd had a medical checkup at the hospital, people would definitely make a fuss about it.
That would do her future political career no favors at all.
