"Oh?"
Hearing Xu Shi say that, Xie Qingyan quickly caught on.
"Xu Shi, do you mean that patient named Xia Ke'an—the one who looked like a little girl but was actually already in her forties?"
She stared at Xu Shi with a strange expression.
It was clear that she had read the white-haired loli's medical records and knew a fair amount about her.
Of course, she had no way of knowing that she had once been one of the leading figures of Refraction.
"...Yes, that's her."
Xu Shi nodded, thinking, Putting it like that really makes it sound weird...
Still, asking Prism to treat Xia Ke'an had to be put on the agenda.
Although he had already taught her a lesson and told her to stop being foolish and recover slowly, he could not just leave her untreated forever. Recuperation and complete recovery were different things, and he needed to secure that character card as soon as possible.
Before, the timing had not been right. She first needed to recover to a certain level, and the technology had been lacking as well.
But now that he had purer Rust Fog ore and some technical references from The Forgotten, things would be much easier—he refused to believe Xie Qingyan had not refined those things and developed more efficient medical products.
He had done something similar himself, so judging others by his own standards, that damned woman had definitely done the same.
"To be honest, I'm quite interested in this little patient too. It's rare to see someone with so many illnesses in one body."
Xie Qingyan spoke unhurriedly. "But... why should I treat her?"
"Hm?"
Xu Shi put on a surprised expression. "Does treating illnesses and saving lives require a reason?"
Xie, your conscience is rotten!
You're a medical company! You
