Upon hearing Chu Tianye’s words, Chu Cichen paused in his footsteps.
Matriarch Chu asked curiously, “What is it?”
Chu Tianye said, “It’s a top secret. As long as you give me one million, I’ll give you news about him!”
Matriarch Chu burst out laughing. “…Don’t try to cheat me of my money. What secret can you know?”
Chu Tianye became anxious. “I really know!”
Matriarch Chu picked up more vegetables with her chopsticks. “Eat more vegetables.”
“…”
Chu Tianye then lowered his head weakly, seeming hesitant to speak.
Just then, Chu Tianye’s phone rang. When he turned to look at it, he was shocked. “Grandmother, you transferred money to me?”
“I didn’t,” said Matriarch Chu, feeling puzzled.
“Then why do I have an additional one million in my account?”
“I transferred it.” Chu Cichen walked up to Chu Tianye and asked, “What is your secret?”
Chu Tianye’s eyes gleamed. “My secret is… My mommy knows the miraculous doctor!”
(Mommy thinks of nothing but to enjoy her retirement life, so I naturally can’t expose her identity easily. Otherwise, what if people try to look for her through connections over every small illness?)
(I’ll just say this then! Anyway, Mommy will be the one to step out to save people…)
Chu Cichen narrowed his eyes. He then recalled the medicine pill from last night and asked, “Your mommy knows medical skills?”
“A little*~”
Chu Tianye said this again.
Chu Cichen: “…”
However, Matriarch Chu squinted her eyes. “Is it one or one hundred million*? Say it clearly!”
Chu Tianye blinked his eyes, not expecting to be exposed by his grandmother!
He wanted to say something, but his phone vibrated again. He then lowered his head and realized that another one million had been transferred into his account!
Chu Tianye instantly broke out into a smile and said, “Thank you, Daddy!”
“… This time, it’s me.” Matriarch Chu’s heart ached over the money. “Hurry up and tell me! Is it one or one hundred million!”
Chu Tianye: “…”
He had already received the money, so he had to say it.
He sighed. “My mommy’s medical skills are very good…”
He used a vague way of saying this.
However, Matriarch Chu frowned, asking softly, “Could it be that your mommy had learned medical skills from the miraculous doctor?”
She looked toward Chu Cichen. “Then the medicine she gave them yesterday…”
Chu Cichen thought of how the doctor had said last night that the blood statistics weren’t looking good and it seemed that Yun Zhengyang wasn’t going to make it. However, his condition suddenly improved for the better. Chu Cichen said, “There should be no bad effects from eating it.”
Matriarch Chu nodded. “Then I’ll go to the hospital to remind them.”
–
When Shen Ruojing woke up in the morning, she felt that there might have been a problem with the way she handled things yesterday.
Ordinary people wouldn’t eat medicine given by others.
Moreover, when she wrote the prescription, she didn’t have any paper on hand and could only write on a piece of napkin. The prescription was meant for the Chinese medical hall for their preparation and not for Yun Zhengyang.
However, Yun Zhengyang had asked for it. Thinking that he was planning to find someone to check the prescription to see if there was a problem with it, Shen Ruojing gave him that napkin prescription.
But after seeing the message Chu Tianye had sent her, she realized that Yun Zhengyang might not have taken the medicine.
She got up. After having breakfast, she spoke to Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen before she headed out, planning to go to the hospital to visit Yun Zhengyang.
She had just arrived at the ward when she heard the doctor’s voice coming from the room. “Madam Yun, may I ask what measures did you guys take at home before Mr. Yun arrived at the hospital last night? It’s because Mr. Yun could be said to have a narrow escape from death and it’s simply a miracle. That’s why we want to find out more.”
