"No," Grandpa Wu chuckled with an expression that seemed to revel in others’ misfortunes, "It smells bad, and when you eat it... it tastes awful too."
"But this thing is very nourishing; it mainly serves to improve your health and vitality. In fact, I specifically researched it for you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have spent over a month in the pharmacy. This little box is the result of our grandchild and grandpa’s painstaking work."
Yu Siqiao saw the despair in Mo Shu’s eyes and tried to negotiate with the stern doctor, "Then, can the taste be improved a bit?"
Even he was a bit overwhelmed by the taste, let alone Mo Shu, such a delicate pregnant woman.
If she were to eat it and then throw up, wouldn’t that just make things worse?
Seemingly aware of Yu Siqiao’s concerns, Dr. Wu said, "Don’t worry, it smells bad and tastes bad, yes, but it won’t induce vomiting. On the contrary, it can effectively relieve morning sickness and improve your constitution. Right now, you’re not experiencing too much discomfort, but wait until the baby grows a bit more, and your organs are all being pressed by the baby; that’s when you will truly understand how good this thing is."
Mo Shu did believe in Dr. Wu, but why did he look so gleeful at her misfortune?
Dr. Wu, as if afraid she wouldn’t believe him, took the box and said, "Come on, try it. Take one, and you’ll know how good it is."
The box was opened again, and that pungent, suffocating smell wafted out, nearly bringing Mo Shu to tears.
Dr. Wu took out a medicine pill wrapped in thin tin foil, slowly unwrapped it, and the odor intensified, revealing the dark brown, unidentifiable spherical object inside.
Under Dr. Wu’s expectant gaze, Mo Shu forced down the foul thing in her mouth but almost immediately spat it back out.
Dr. Wu promptly covered her mouth, forcefully pushing it back in and following it up with a glass of water.
Mo Shu struggled to swallow it and took a while to feel a little better.
Yu Siqiao’s heart ached for her. He patted her back to help her catch her breath and let her lean on him, tilting his body slightly backward just so she could feel a bit more comfortable.
Mo Shu soon recovered.
Grandpa Wu asked expectantly, "How is it?"
"I didn’t ask if you found it disgusting," Grandpa Wu already knew it was, this wasn’t even a question worth asking, "Do you feel a warmth in your body, especially from the belly to the waist area?"
Mo Shu cautiously tuned into her sensations and then voiced her suspicion, "Grandpa Wu, aren’t you using me as a test subject?"
Yu Siqiao’s heart skipped, casting a somewhat skeptical look at the old doctor.
Clearing his throat, Grandpa Wu said earnestly, "How could you doubt me? I have decades of medical experience. Of course, I wouldn’t dare give you something to consume unless I was sure it was harmless."
First time she’d seen someone treat people like guinea pigs and make it sound so damn noble!
Yu Siqiao was uncertain, saying, "You’re sure it’s harmless to her?"
"Oh, why won’t you believe me!" Grandpa Wu became agitated, "I’ve watched her grow up; would I harm her?"
Before long, Mo Shu felt a warmth rising between her waist and belly, subconsciously touching it. Find the newest release on NoveIꜰire.net
Seeing this, Grandpa Wu knew right away and joyfully said, "If you can feel it, that means it’s working. One pill a day; Ji Nan, make sure she takes it."
