Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Chi Yuhang was stunned and stammered:
Qiao Jing’s icy eyes deepened, and she spoke solemnly.
"Chi Yuhang, the medicine I prescribed for you is only enough for the few days I specified. If you had prepared it for your grandfather as instructed, it should definitely be finished by now, but you did not come to Wonderful Hall to get the medicine yesterday."
The reason Chi Yuhang did not come for the medicine was surely that he did not want to just take from Wonderful Hall without paying.
Qiao Jing paused, then continued:
"Your grandfather’s illness is very serious; he cannot stop his medication, otherwise everything he has taken so far will be wasted. I also told you last time not to worry about the medical expenses; you can pay them back gradually."
Chi Yuhang clenched his fists and took out a few hundred dollars from his pocket.
"Miss Qiao, I was planning to buy the medicine after I received my salary tonight. However, I was caught up with something today and did not go to work this afternoon, so I can’t go to Wonderful Hall to get the medicine now."
He certainly wanted to go to Wonderful Hall to get the medicine for his grandfather, but the money he had was only enough for one time, yet with today’s salary included, he should be able to cover two doses.
So, he was thinking of getting the medicine from Wonderful Hall after he got his salary tonight.
Qiao Jing frowned deeply, saying coldly:
"If you wait until tonight to get the medicine, your grandfather will have missed two doses. Where are you now? I’ll have someone send the medicine to you."
Before this, she had already emphasized to Chi Yuhang that he need not worry about the money, so he should not delay his grandfather’s treatment now.
She speculated that Chi Yuhang hadn’t come to get the medicine this time, most likely because he had listened to Old Master Chi’s words.
After her previous discussion about the medical condition with Old Master Chi, she could sense that he was a man of pride despite his poverty, not wishing to always take from others.
Chi Yuhang knew he had acted incorrectly this time by carelessly agreeing to his grandfather’s abrupt decision to stop the medication, and he felt very guilty.
He glanced back at the field which he hadn’t finished watering and hesitated for a moment.
"Miss Qiao, I’ll come and get it myself."
The reason he was so loud just now was that he was watering the fields and had specifically turned off the water to take the call.
If he went to Wonderful Hall to get the medicine now, there would still be a large part of the field left unwatered, and he was worried the newly planted seedlings would die.
But he couldn’t trouble Miss Qiao, so he would have to give up on these newly planted seedlings.
Qiao Jing pursed her red lips and replied resolutely:
"Send me the address, and I will have someone deliver it to you. It won’t be a bother to me."
Since Chi Yuhang had stopped working to do something else, it must mean that matter was very important.
She wouldn’t delay his affairs, and it was convenient for someone from Wonderful Hall to deliver it.
Qiao Jing didn’t give Chi Yuhang a chance to refuse and hung up the phone.
While Nanqing was originally browsing her phone, she immediately put it down upon hearing Qiao Jing’s conversation.
After seeing Qiao Jing hang up the phone, she promptly asked:
"What happened? Chi Yuhang didn’t come to get the medicine?"
Qiao Jing responded with a "Hmm," her face still showing a trace of coldness, then she opened her chat with Chi Yuhang and waited a few seconds without receiving his location from him.
All she saw at the top of the chat screen was a repeated notification, "The other party is typing..."
After a while, she finally received the location Chi Yuhang sent.
Only then did Qiao Jing’s deeply furrowed brows relax. Just as she was about to instruct the shopkeeper to pack up the medicine for Chi Yuhang, several people suddenly entered through the door, one of whom looked extremely pale and weak, his clothes stained with blood on his chest and needing others to Continue reading more chapters on NovelHub for the best experience.
She immediately realized the severity of the situation, stood up, walked over to the patient, looked back at the shopkeeper, and instructed:
"Pack these medicines and deliver them to the location I just sent you."
After he dropped that line, Qiao Jing and a patient walked into a room together.
Nanqing stood there, dumbfounded, exchanging stares with the clerk for a few seconds.
"Uh... I can’t follow them in now, can I?"
The clerk nodded and turned to start preparing the medicine.
"Right, the patient just now seemed quite serious, which is why Miss Qiao took them into the examination room."
He had just finished preparing the medicine and was about to deliver it when another patient arrived at the door.
"I had an appointment for a consultation today. Where is the doctor?"
The clerk hesitated, looking troubled as he glanced at the medicine in his hand and then at the patient.
He was the only one available to help treat patients at Wonderful Hall. Although he wasn’t as skilled as Divine Doctor Jing or Master Zhou, Divine Doctor Jing had gone to see another patient, and Master Zhou had also gone to someone’s house for a consultation.
Calling someone else to help would take time and delay the patient’s condition. Nanqing noticed the clerk’s difficulty, watched the medicines in his hand for a while, and finally sighed before walking up to him.
"I’ll help you deliver the medicines. Where to?"
The clerk hesitated, as Miss Zhan was a friend and sister of Divine Doctor Jing, and he didn’t want to trouble her without good reason.
But it seemed there was no other option now.
He handed the medicine to Nanqing, checked his phone, and showed her the screen.
"It’s in the suburbs."
Upon seeing the location, Nanqing’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"The suburbs?! That far??"
She had thought of helping with the medicine delivery because she saw how busy Qiao Jing and the clerk were, and being the only one at Wonderful Hall who knew nothing about medicine. Plus, the fact that it was for someone she knew made her agree to help.
She had thought it would be quick since it was within the city, and that she could just drive there, but now she was told that Chi Yuhang’s home was in the suburbs?
To go from downtown to the suburbs would take at least an hour’s drive!
Upon this realization, she started having second thoughts.
Suddenly, she heard a patient’s voice.
"I am feeling unwell; can I get help now?"
Nanqing gritted her teeth and took the medicine from the clerk.
"Right, do give me the phone number from the medical record."
The suburbs were vast, and it would be troublesome if she couldn’t find the place; it was safer to save Chi Yuhang’s number.
Seeing that Nanqing was willing to help, the clerk immediately found the medical record, quickly wrote down the address and phone number on a piece of paper, and handed it to Nanqing.
"Thank you, Miss Zhan! Sorry for the trouble!"
Nanqing reluctantly accepted it and got into her car with the materials.
Nanqing’s sports car stopped in the suburbs, she pulled down her sunglasses, and looked around the deserted area.
She looked at the navigation again, somewhat unsure, and saw that it indicated she had arrived at the destination, but there was not a single building around. Where exactly was Chi Yuhang’s house?!
Please don’t tell her that Chi Yuhang’s family was so poor they lived in a nearby cave??
