Lin Yanran felt heavy all over.
But in the past few days, she had some consciousness, constantly hearing her mother cry. She was anxious to wake up, and today she finally managed to open her eyes.
Madam Wu was the first to see her eyelashes flutter.
Her heart instantly jumped to her throat, and she rushed over, "Yanran?"
Lin Yanran opened her eyes, her vision still blurry at first.
"Husband, Yanran is awake!" Madam Wu's tears streamed down, and she held her daughter's hand, "Yanran, Yanran, it's Mother, can you hear me?"
"Mother..." Lin Yanran called out, her voice as weak as a kitten.
But just that was enough to move Madam Wu and Lin Rong to tears.
Lin Rong, a grown man, also vigorously wiped his tears.
"Yan'er, it's Father..."
"Father..." Lin Yanran called out again.
By this time, the blurriness in front of her finally dissipated, and she could finally see the situation clearly.
"Physician Fu, is she all better now that she's awake?" Lin Rong quickly asked Physician Fu.
Physician Fu looked at Lin Yanran's eyes.
At that moment, Madam Wu also saw it, and she almost screamed.
Because Lin Yanran's pupils were still blood-red!
"Mother, why are you drawing red gauze curtains here..." Lin Yanran said weakly, because as her vision cleared, she saw a large red mist before her eyes.
She thought that a red gauze curtain had been drawn before her eyes.
Madam Wu's face changed.
Lin Rong also strode forward, and he too saw the blood-red in Lin Yanran's eyes.
"Physician Fu, what, what's going on?"
Physician Fu stepped forward and examined her, then asked Lin Yanran, "Miss Lin, is there anything uncomfortable about your eyes?"
Lin Yanran didn't know who he was and didn't answer for a moment.
"Yanran, this is Physician Fu, the divine doctor of Jingcheng. Talk to him properly, tell him everything, alright?"
Madam Wu coaxed her, suppressing the panic in her heart.
However, Physician Fu had someone bring a cup of warm water and had her feed it to Lin Yanran first.
Lin Yanran drank a small cup of water and turned to Physician Fu.
She showed a docile and slightly shy smile, "Physician Fu."
She was a docile and sensible child.
Physician Fu sighed lightly, "Miss Lin, what discomfort do you feel in your eyes?"
"Dry, and a little painful." But she still said, "Can this red curtain be pulled back? Mother, I don't feel comfortable looking at it."
Lin Yanran's voice was still somewhat hoarse and weak.
After saying these two sentences, she was a little breathless.
Madam Wu's tears welled up again. There was no red curtain, it was Yanran's eyes...
"Miss Lin, do you remember where you went or what you touched half a month ago?" Physician Fu asked.
"Physician Fu, we were together the whole time. We didn't go to any strange places or touch anything," Madam Wu said.
Lin Yanran wanted to raise her hand to wipe her mother's tears, "Mother, don't cry..."
But just as she struggled to lift her hand, she saw her completely changed hand. Although there was still a layer of red mist, that hand was thin as kindling and dark; it was clearly visible.
Lin Yanran's eyes widened in terror, "My hand! Father, Mother, my hand! Ah!"
She screamed.
As her eyes widened, Madam Wu and Lin Rong both saw her eyes turn even redder, looking somewhat terrifying.
Madam Wu tightly held her hand, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Yanran, my good daughter, it's alright, it will get better, it will get better..."
Lin Yanran trembled.
It seemed nothing could be asked at this time.
Lin Rong wiped his tears and asked Physician Fu to step outside to talk.
"Physician Fu, can my little daughter's eyes and hands be cured?"
If they couldn't be cured, even though she was awake, she wouldn't be able to go out and see people again.
With her appearance, if she went out and was seen, people would probably consider her a monster. Yanran herself would collapse.
And how could she possibly get married in the future?
Her whole life would be ruined.
Physician Fu sighed, "I have been researching her condition for the past few days, but, currently, I truly have no solution."
His medical skills could only prevent Lin Yanran's condition from worsening, but he had no way to restore hands that had already become like this.
As for the blood-red pupils, he needed to research them further. He would try acupuncture around the eyes, hot compresses with medicine, every method he could think of, but he had no confidence.
Because he couldn't determine what was causing Lin Yanran's eyes.
"Then, what should we do? I beg Physician Fu to think of a solution. I cannot watch Yanran's entire life be ruined like this." Lin Rong's eyes were red.
If Yanran couldn't be cured, his wife would also collapse.
Physician Fu hesitated, looking like he had more to say.
Seeing his expression, Lin Rong immediately felt a glimmer of hope.
"Physician Fu, do you have a solution? Please tell me! No matter what the cost, I can bear it."
"It's like this, Second Miss Lu, whom Madam Lin met before, she might have some methods."
"Second Miss Lu?"
"Yes, it's her. This strange illness of your esteemed daughter is beyond my abilities, but Second Miss Lu has some profound arts, you could invite her to take a look."
"Profound arts?"
Lin Rong's heart skipped a beat. Yanran's condition really didn't seem like a simple illness.
"Madam Lin has also met Second Miss Lu, so I believe she has some understanding of her. You can discuss it with Madam Lin."
Lin Rong had actually heard his wife talk about Second Miss Lu. He also felt that Second Miss Lu's judgment at the time was very miraculous. Moreover, Physician Fu being able to treat Yanran was also due to Second Miss Lu's efforts.
For Physician Fu to trust and value her so much, Second Miss Lu must have her special qualities.
"Please, Physician Fu, introduce me. No need to discuss with my wife, I will go and invite Second Miss Lu right away."
Physician Fu said, "You don't need to go personally. I already mentioned your esteemed daughter's matter to Second Miss Lu last time. The other people in Lu Residence are not good people, so it would be inconvenient for you to go. Just send a maid to invite her. Oh, and it's best to send a carriage to pick her up."
Lin Rong also remembered that their initial encounter was because Second Miss Lu needed to borrow a carriage.
What was wrong with Lu Residence? That Second Miss, even with injuries, couldn't even be provided with a carriage when going out?
"I'll send someone to pick her up right away."
Physician Fu thought for a moment, "I'll go with them."
On the way, he could talk to Second Miss Lu about Lin Yanran's situation.
Seeing how highly Physician Fu regarded Second Miss Lu, Lin Rong felt even more hopeful.
Madam Wu heard that he had already sent someone to invite Lu Zhaoling, and her tears finally stopped. She, too, inexplicably, had expectations for Lu Zhaoling.
Lin Yanran was traumatized and couldn't speak again. She just lay there silently weeping, clutching Madam Wu's hand tightly, extremely frightened in her heart.
She didn't know what was happening to her.
Not long after, Physician Fu returned, bringing a frail young girl with him.
