Bao-Zhi took another sip of his tea, and set the cup back down on the table. "I am sure he will be fine without a doctor. Herbs and Remedies of the sorts, this shop helps the heal the body. You could say that I'm my own personal doctor, but one that doesn't use medicines of today." he said. "If the body relies on medicine, the immune system will grow weak. Herbs are a type of medicine, but a natural one that the human body doesn't have to rely on such as the higher tech medicine from hospitals. I believe that if the human body can learn to accept what is given and not expect it every time, it will fend for itself, and repair itself as it's own personal worker." He looked over his shoulder at the room where Xiao Lu was sleeping in. Turning his head back around, and rubbed the side of his neck. "You know how the human body can heal itself of almost any cut or wound? It's like that, but the herbs make the body work progressively faster. If the blood can clot faster, then it gives the body time to recover while it is resting. The extra herbs was to disinfect the wounds and numb them. Sure those will run out once the body doesn't need them anymore. Because it knows that it can't rely on herbs. Medicine of today, is a drug to the body. It's all human made drugs."

He sighed, looked at his cup of tea for a moment, then slowly lifted his dark brown eyes to look at Alex. "I understand what you mean, however, some things have to be dealt with differently. You see, when Xiao Lu was young, he was a clumsy boy who always hurt himself. Even till this day, he's a goofball. But he's a good boy too... Ever since he was little, he always got hurt, and we never took him to a doctor. He was always cared for by a family doctor within the family. Whether that's his grandfather, or me. And hospitals cost so much to put a patient in, even for a few days! We just don't have the money right now and I'd prefer that he goes through the treatment he's been given."

Bao-Zhi sure spoke wisely. But even so, he had to leave to visit family, and Xiao Lu did need someone to take care of him while he healed. How would that manage out? "Er... Miss.." Bao-Zhi started to speak, wondering if asking her would even be a good idea. "I appreciate the fact that you brought Xiao Lu here... I was wondering if.." he paused a moment. "I was wondering if you'd look after him while I'm gone...?" He looked at her now, as if their eyes alone were having their own conversation.
