"The same thing will happen to the other people in our village?"
Li Xiuhua couldn't believe it.
Then, Li Xiuhua seemed to have thought of something and blurted out, "Could it be... that my daughter's illness is contagious?"
"About that."
"You can understand it that way," Chen Yu replied after pondering for a moment. "However, the contagiousness you're thinking of and the one I'm talking about are not exactly the same."
Chen Yu's words confused Li Xiuhua.
"Master Chen, I'm not well-educated, so I don't understand what you're saying. Please cure my daughter. She's all I have."
"Miaomiao lost her father when she was young, so she relies on me for survival."
"If anything happens to her, I... I really can't live anymore."
Li Xiuhua hugged her daughter and was about to kneel.
"Please don't kneel!"
Reaching out to support Li Xiuhua, Chen Yu said firmly, "No one in this world is worthy of you kneeling to them, even me."
