Chapter 187

"Hello, Ying, you look more and more pretty," said the elderly man with a smile.

"I'm flattered," said Chen Ying with great respect.

"Hello, doctor, my name is Guo Shengli." The elderly man introduced himself.

"Hello, my name is Wang Yao," said Wang Yao with a smile. He was neither humble nor pert.

"Why didn't you want to see an old man like me?" asked Guo Shengli with a smile. He was nice enough, like an elderly neighbor. Given his social status, Wang Yao didn't detect any arrogance.

"Are you afraid of trouble?" Guo Shengli answered his own question for Wang Yao as Wang Yao was hesitating.

"Yes," said Wang Yao.

"Well, I could be trouble sometimes," said Guo Shengli with a sigh.

"Grandpa, will you allow Dr. Wang to take a look at you?" asked Guo Sirou softly.

"No rush, we can have a chat first," said Guo Shengli. "Dr. Wang, I have to thank you for extending my life for another few months."

"You are welcome. You paid for the herbs anyway," said Wang Yao.

"Money? Well, some people would be willing to give all they had to stay a few more days in this world but failed. When you are dying, what will be the use of money? What will be the use of power!" said Guo Shengli with a sigh.

He continued, "I will always remember that you saved my life. And our family will also remember." People who knew Guo Shengli well would be in shock to hear what he just said.

"Okay, let me take a look at you," said Wang Yao.

"Okay," said Guo Shengli.

Wang Yao checked Guo Shengli's pulse. He felt that Guo Shengli's health status could be described as one foot in the grave. Guo Shengli was like the candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time.

His health status was not caused by diseases but natural aging. His body was getting weaker and weaker. The alternation of life and death was the most basic, natural rule in this world. Even he had taken Regather soup, or even the Prolongation pill, it still wouldn't have a consistent effect on him.

Every human being would die eventually!

"Please take good care of yourself." Wang Yao moved his hand away.

"Haha, okay," said Guo Shengli with a big laugh.

It wouldn't be true if Guo Shengli was not afraid of death at his age. But after having the critical life death experience last time, he was no longer anxious about death. If it wasn't for his children who he always worried about, he would have already given up.

"Dr. Wang, can you prescribe another dose of herbal formula for my grandpa?" asked Guo Sirou.

"Of course, but the formula will be less and less effective," said Wang Yao.

"I know. I understand and will accept what is going to happen. Thank you very much," said Guo Sirou.

"Okay, I will make it for you another day," said Wang Yao.

"I will ask Uncle He to get all the required herbs ready this afternoon," said Guo Sirou.

Guo Shengli sat in the garden having a chat with Wang Yao. He talked slowly, and after a while, Wang Yao heard his breath become shallow. Wang Yao went next to the old man and was going to settle his breath by massaging his back. But the two men in their 30's, who had been standing next to Guo Shengli suddenly walked towards Wang Yao and tried to grab Wang Yao's arm. Wang Yao had to step back to duck.
