Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 485

After taking in the man and his family's circumstances, Yao Ran said, "No problem. Let's go to your place so I can treat your son. His condition is critical, so we need to hurry."

The man quickly nodded, grabbed his wife's hand, and led the way. Following behind them, Yao Ran scanned her surroundings and memorized the route.

After walking through several narrow roads and making countless turns, they finally arrived at the harbor area. Noticing that this district bordered the residential district where Tower F was located, Yao Ran was surprised by the stark contrast between the residential and harbor districts.

Seeing her observing the surroundings with interest, the man said, "Young Lady, you should be careful after we pass this area. The people who live here aren't good. Most of them are criminals or desperate individuals who wouldn't hesitate to kill."

Just as he said that, Yao Ran noticed a few people trailing behind them. With a slight smile on her lips, she replied, "It's fine. I can protect myself."

Hearing her confident words, the man glanced at the long sword hanging from her waist and said no more. For a woman to be able to wear clean clothes and live comfortably in times like these, she had to be a capable individual.

As they continued walking in silence, the people following them grew impatient.

After a few more minutes, one of them asked impatiently, "Brother, should we do it now?"

The man referred to as 'Brother' narrowed his eyes, staring at Yao Ran, before replying, "Wait a little longer."

Since their leader had spoken, the others could only obey.

It took Yao Ran and the others nearly an hour to reach the man's shelter from the harbor entrance.

"Young Lady, we are here," the man said.

Looking at the filthy corner, Yao Ran asked, "Your family lives here?"

The man nodded. "Yes."

Seeing nothing but the dirty wall behind them, Yao Ran thought, 'It's not easy for anyone. Compared to this, my life with the Lan family in my previous life wasn't so bad after all.'

With that in mind, she took a mattress out of her space and placed it in the corner. Then she turned to the man and said, "Please lay your son down so I can examine him."

Hearing this, the man quickly responded, "Yes."

As he carefully placed his son on the mattress, he looked at Yao Ran and hesitantly asked, "Young Lady, are you a doctor?"

Yao Ran shook her head. "I'm a medical student from Haicheng University specializing in Eastern medicine. Treating illnesses like this is our expertise."

The man's eyes dimmed slightly after listening to her answer. Without proper medicine, even a doctor could do little to save a patient, let alone a medical student who hadn't graduated.

Noticing his expression, Yao Ran wasn't offended. After all, she wasn't a licensed doctor.

However, with her experiences from both this life and her previous one—along with the lake water's healing properties—saving the child would be easy.

After taking the boy's pulse, Yao Ran said, "Your son is severely malnourished, and some of his organs have already started to fail."

Hearing this, the last glimmer of hope in the man's eyes faded. Looking at his son, he muttered, "Thank you for taking the time to check him. I have nothing to repay you with, but I will do whatever I can to return this kindness."

Yao Ran glanced at him when he said that and asked. "Are you giving up on your son?"

The man looked up at her words and asked numbly, "Can you really save him?"
