Du Heng cut to the chase and asked the young man directly, "So, you've decided to seek treatment from me now?"
The young man looked at Du Heng earnestly and nodded. "I've made up my mind. I'm entrusting myself to you, Director Du."
"Alright then. Extend your hand; let me check your pulse first." Du Heng tidied his desk before performing the pulse diagnosis.
Ten days ago, he hadn't detected any sign of the issue from the young man's pulse; it was only through a special method that he had identified the cause of the illness.
But today, a mere ten days later, the young man's pulse had indeed changed.
It was this very change that weighed heavily on Du Heng's heart.
Although this pulse diagnosis was conducted with prior knowledge of the outcome, making it a targeted examination, the young man must have endured considerable hardship over the past ten days. Thus, a change in his pulse was to be expected.
