Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Doctor Li, Are You the Ghost Doctor?

Huo Juanyan still harbored doubts regarding whether this Doctor Li was the Ghost Doctor and was even more skeptical about her claim of being able to cure his legs.

Ever since his legs became disabled, he had sought countless famous doctors, among whom were many who verbally claimed they could heal his legs, but in the end, they turned out to be swindlers just after his money.

He feared Doctor Li might be the same.

Years ago, when Huo Juanyan had heard about the Ghost Doctor and knew that only the Ghost Doctor could heal his legs, he had placed all his hope on that mysterious figure.

Now, whether Doctor Li was the Ghost Doctor remained unclear; just taking his pulse and saying she could cure him did not prove she was the Ghost Doctor.

Huo Juanyan grasped Nan Yu’s wrist, pulling her close in front of him, and looked into her eyes at a very close range before speaking again in a deep voice.

"Doctor Li, are you the Ghost Doctor?"

His deep eyes stared intently into her clear ones.

Nan Yu ignored the restraint on her wrist, lifted her eyelids, and met Huo Juanyan’s cold gaze from underneath his mask, filled with distrust towards her.

She raised her eyebrows, her aura matching his without losing an ounce, "Huo Family Head, are you implying that you only want the Ghost Doctor to treat your legs?"

In a moment, the study became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

They were so close that they could hear each other’s breathing.

Chen Li watched this scene as if she could see the sparks flying between them, where an incautious move could leave someone completely charred.

She swallowed nervously, formulating her words.

"Family Head, Doctor Li..."

She had barely spoken when the ringing of a bell interrupted the tense atmosphere.

Huo Juanyan shot Chen Li a cold glance, his eyes expressing a hint of displeasure.

Chen Li took out her phone, saw the name "Xia Xing" displayed on the screen, and quickly turned to step out of the study to answer the call.

Nan Yu watched Chen Li leave, then turned her gaze to Huo Juanyan’s hand firmly grasping her wrist.

Her gaze was soft, "Huo Family Head, have you held on long enough?"

Huo Juanyan snapped back to reality and, seeing the tender white wrist in his palm, suddenly released his grip.

"My apologies, Doctor Li."

Nan Yu rubbed her sore wrist and slowly stood up, looking down at Huo Juanyan seated in his wheelchair.

"Huo Family Head, if you wished to seek the Ghost Doctor for your legs, why then did you ask Secretary Chen to invite me here? Or do you believe I am the Ghost Doctor?"

Her tone carried no excess emotion.

Huo Juanyan looked up at her and countered her question with another, "So, Doctor Li, are you the Ghost Doctor?"

This was the third time he had asked her that day.

Nan Yu just stood there, silently watching him.

Huo Juanyan gazed at her seriously, waiting for her response.

After what seemed like an eternity, her hoarse voice finally came through.

"I..."

Just as she began to speak, the sound of the study door opening interrupted.

Chen Li walked in briskly from outside with a face full of joy.

"Family Head, the Ghost Doctor has agreed to a meeting, saying she will arrive here in half an hour."

With those words, the atmosphere once again tensed.

Chen Li, whose mind had been overwhelmed with elation, suddenly came to her senses, realizing that Nan Yu was still there.

She hurriedly offered an awkward smile to Nan Yu, "Doctor Li, I apologize, I had always assumed you were the Ghost Doctor, which is why I specifically invited you over to treat the Family Head’s leg condition."

"Just now, Vice Chairman Gu proactively called us and presented all the evidence needed to verify the Ghost Doctor; we have confirmed that she is indeed the Ghost Doctor, and she has also said she will treat the Family Head’s legs."

"I’m sorry for the inconvenience of having you come all this way today. I will make sure you are fully compensated for your trouble, and I will take you back now."

In just a few sentences, Chen Li had treated Nan Yu’s visit as a case of mistaken identity.

Nan Yu lowered her head, glanced at Huo Juanyan’s disabled legs, then lifted her head, revealing her bright and beautiful eyes and brows.

"I have always heard of the great reputation of the Ghost Doctor, said to be enigmatic and elusive, impossible for anyone to find. I wonder, how exactly did you confirm that she is the true Ghost Doctor?"
