Chapter 997: Chapter 997

"Mr. Lin knows medicine too?" Lin Haotian said with a delighted expression.

"Haha, Uncle Lin, just call me Xiao Chen. I heard from Wanrou that you have a strange illness, so I came to see if I could help," Lin Chen replied with a smile.

"This is an old injury. It's been decades, and I've seen many famous doctors, but it's probably incurable," Lin Haotian sighed.

Lin Chen calmly said, "That's not necessarily true. I've seen an illness like Uncle Lin's before, and I managed to cure that person."

"What!" Lin Haotian's face showed a few expressions of surprise and delight.

At this moment, Lin Chen turned around, "Wanrou, you and Auntie should step out for now so I can check Uncle's illness."

"Okay, Mom and I will go make something delicious for you. Lin Chen, I'm counting on you," Su Wanrou looked at Lin Chen hopefully.

As the mother and daughter left, Lin Chen knelt on one knee in front of Lin Haotian: "Uncle, I'm sorry, your nephew was late."

At this moment, Lin Haotian shed tears and hugged Lin Chen tightly, "It's really you. Xiao Chen, I never thought our family would meet again. By the way, how is your father?"

Speaking of his father, Lin Chen's expression became somewhat grim as he briefly recounted the events of the past few years.

"Those bastards still haven't spared the Lin family," Lin Haotian clenched his fist tightly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find my father," Lin Chen said resolutely.

"Uncle, father said you died in battle?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

Lin Haotian sighed, "That night, I almost died, but a mysterious person saved me. At the time, their mother and daughter happened to not be at the Lin family. That person then arranged for us to come to the Island Nation. To avoid being pursued, I've been living under a false name."

"So that's what happened!" Lin Chen finally understood.

"Haha, heaven has eyes, allowing us to meet again," Lin Haotian said excitedly.

"Uncle, I noticed your injury is the same as my father's. Were they caused by the same person?" Lin Chen asked, his gaze turning cold.

"Yes, this person is incredibly powerful. He slaughtered the entire Lin family single-handedly. If it weren't for that expert, I would have been dead for decades," Lin Haotian's fist was tightly clenched.

Although he managed to survive all these years, his injuries were much more severe than Lin Chen's father's, and he had spent the latter half of his life in a wheelchair.

"Don't worry, uncle, one day I will avenge the Lin family," Lin Chen stated firmly.

Lin Haotian sighed, "Lin Chen, to be honest, that person's strength is too formidable. You're the last of the Lin family, and I don't want you to take this risk."

"Precisely because I'm the last of the Lin family, the family's blood feud must be avenged by me," Lin Chen declared firmly.

Saying this, Lin Chen's gaze returned to Lin Haotian.

With his X-ray vision, Lin Chen could see the injuries on Lin Haotian's body, his gaze turning slightly cold.

The opponent was extremely ruthless, having shattered all the meridians in Lin Haotian's body. Most despicably, his palm strike contained a cold poison. Lin Chen could imagine the pain Lin Haotian would endure each time the cold poison flared up.

Lin Haotian let out a bitter smile, "You've seen my injury, right? Perhaps you can cure your father's injury, but I fear I'll be in this wheelchair for the rest of my life."

"Who said that? With me here, I can definitely cure Uncle's injury," Lin Chen said confidently.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Haotian's eyes, but it quickly dimmed, "Xiao Chen, all my meridians are severed, even a deity couldn't heal them."

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Uncle, to be honest, your nephew is the Divine Doctor. There's no illness in this world I cannot cure."

"Can you really do it?" Lin Haotian was half-believing, half-doubting.

"Rest assured, not only can I heal your injury, but I can also restore your former strength."

"What did you say?" Lin Haotian tightened his grip on his armrest, looking at Lin Chen with some excitement.

"Xiao Chen, can you really cure Uncle's illness?" Lin Haotian asked with some excitement.

"Of course, didn't I say so? Your nephew is the Divine Doctor. How could such a minor injury be difficult for me?" Lin Chen smiled.

Looking at Lin Chen's confidence, Lin Haotian asked skeptically, "My injury involves completely severed meridians; they can't be reconnected. How do you plan to treat it?"

"It's quite simple. Since they can't be reconnected, I'll just build a new pathway," Lin Chen said casually.

"What? Build a new pathway?" Seeing Lin Chen's nonchalant expression, Lin Haotian almost fainted.

"Do you think meridians are like roads, to be built wherever you want?"

Lin Chen saw his uncle's skepticism and smiled softly, "Uncle, keep your soul steady while I reconstruct your meridians right now."

As he spoke, Lin Chen placed his palm on Lin Haotian's back.

To reconstruct the meridians, Lin Chen needed to activate the necrotic cells with the Light of Life in his body. Then, using the wood attribute's reconstructive function, combined with the Light of Life, he would recreate the meridians.

Lin Haotian felt streams of green energy continuously flowing into his body.

A few minutes later, a flush appeared on Lin Haotian's pale face, and his withered limbs seemed as if reborn, regaining vitality.

Lin Haotian's face broke into an expression of unbelievable joy, "How is this possible? I have feeling in my body."

At this time, Lin Haotian felt as though the previously severed meridians in his body were being absorbed by some mysterious energy, then reassembled. New meridians, more resilient than before, were reborn.

As the meridians restructured, Lin Haotian's body naturally regained sensation.

About an hour later, Lin Chen finally removed his hand from Lin Haotian's body.

"Uncle, I've reconstructed your meridians. I'll give you a massage to promote blood circulation, and then you should be able to stand up and walk," Lin Chen said with a cheerful smile.

"Stand up and walk?" Hearing Lin Chen's words, Lin Haotian felt as if he were dreaming.

In countless dreams, he had stood up, never imagining that today the dream would become a reality.

At this moment, Su Wanrou and Su Yaxin entered the room, having been drawn by the sound.

Both of them saw the changes in Lin Haotian and gaped in astonishment.

The current Lin Haotian was a different person compared to just now.

Lin Chen placed his hand on Lin Haotian's acupoints, massaging him, while Su Wanrou and Su Yaxin looked on with tense expressions.

However, Lin Haotian remained very calm, his eyes closed.

Due to his long time spent in the wheelchair, Lin Chen gave him a full-body massage to help him quickly adapt.

As time went on, beads of sweat appeared on Lin Chen's forehead.

Su Wanrou took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from Lin Chen's forehead, looking just like a couple.

She had never imagined that the man who stirred her heart would turn out to be her cousin.

Another half an hour later, Lin Chen stopped massaging.

"Uncle, try standing up and walking. It should be fine," Lin Chen said with a calm smile.

"Can I really walk?" Lin Haotian looked at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with a bit of anticipation.
