Song Ling stood frozen, confusion breaking through his voice. "Doctor Feng, you clearly stated you could save my sister. Why have you suddenly changed your mind?"
Doctor Feng Xia's expression remained unchanged as she spoke calmly, "The freedom to change my mind is mine alone. If you are dissatisfied, you are free to leave."
Song Ling, recalling the apprentice's mention of Gu Dai's return today, a possibility flickered through his mind. He looked at Feng Xia and inquired, "Doctor Feng, did someone speak to you about this?"
Feng Xia, engrossed in her study of medicinal herbs, disregarded Song Ling's question, treating him as if he were thin air.
Upon Gu Dai's return from a stroll around Lingtai Mountain with Su Ting, his brows furrowed unconsciously at the sight of Song Ling. "What are you doing here?"
Song Ling explained, "The medicine Lu Feng prescribed for Song Yu was ineffective, so I came to seek Doctor Feng's help."
