Chapter 869 I feel better than yesterday
The breeze gently blew over his face,ringing a soft and comfortable feeling. There were faint bird songs and the sound of gurgling in his ears. He could smell the familiar aroma of herbs,and the light in front of him was a bit fuzzy and hazy.
In a trance,he seemed to have come to a meadow full of flowers and various precious herbs.He moved through it,carefully looking for the herbs described in his medical books Identifying them one by one and picking them up carefully to put them in a basket. Just as he was about to turn around,he stepped on the ground and suddenly began to fall endlessly, as if there were a bottomless abyss below.
“Ah-“he exclaimed in surprise,but the sound was not that loud,just a slight sound in his throat.”Ah!”
Suddenly,the person woke up,opened his eyes,and found he was sweating profusely.
His hands were clasped tightly on both sides,and his eyes were wide open as if he had just emerged from a deep pool. His body was soaked in water, and he was panting heavily.taking deep breaths of fresh air.
The air he breathed was mixed with the scent of medicine.Gradually,his ability to think returned.
“Are you awake?”The familiar voice sounded calm and unaffected by his scream. The person speaking didn’t ask any more questions but stopped fanning and said, “It’s time to wake up!”
Then,he put down the cattail fan,and picked up a towel to hold the handle of the medicine pot. He poured a steaming bowl of medicine,filtered out the dregs, and brought it in front of him,saying Drink while it’s hot!”
The scent of the medicine wafted through the air,and he was accustomed to the smell, but the medicine was too hot,making it difficult for him to drink it right away.
He took it carefully but hesitated before drinking it.
“Was it a dream?”The man sat down beside him and looked at his profile.”A nightmare?”
He nodded subconsciously but quickly shook his head and said, “No,it doesn’t count!”
“Hehe,it’s a good thing to be able to dream,but I’m afraid I won’t even have a dream.I just open my eyes,close them,and let it be!”He wiped his sweat with a towel.Boiling medicine was also an exhausting task. “Son,keep watch and control the heat.”
Although the science and technology were advanced now,pharmacies have decoction services from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine,it was better to decoct the medicine themselves.
Mr.Drake decocted bowls of medicine like this for him and gave him an injection every day. In the blink of an eye,three days had passed.
Leo didn’t answer, and was silent for a while. Feeling that the medicine was not so hot,he drank it all in one go.
After drinking the medicine,he felt like he had regained physical strength and energy,
“How do you feel today?”Mr.Drake asked again, seeing him put down the medicine bowl.
Leo touched his chest and pressed it.”I feel better than yesterday.” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Let me see “Mr.Drake said,grabbing his hand and taking his pulse.
His fingers applied just enough pressure, and he turned his head slightly,but his eyes were fixed on Leo’s body as he carefully inspected him.
It may seem as though he was careless,but he carefully observed the changes in Leo’s body every day.Leo has not had another attack in the past two days,and his condition was much more
stable.Judging from his pulse. Although it was weak, it was a good sign.
Previously,Leo’s pulse condition was strong, but that strength was superficial,illusory, and created by the medication he was taking Whenever an attack occurred,his tendons would almost tear apart.
Now,although his pulse was weak,it was actually much stronger. The medicinal properties were extracted from the silver needles,released,and finally treated with herbal medicine. The weakness of Leo’s body could be slowly recuperated later,and it was not a big problem.
“Yeah!”Withdrawing his hand,he nodded. “It’s really not bad.”
Then he raised his chin at him again and said, “Take off your clothes.”
Although it was not the first time, and he was still his grandfather,he was a little ashamed.He paused with his fingers,lowered his head, and slowly unbuttoned his clothes.
“Tsk!”Mr.Drake smacked his lips. The bad boy was still shy!
The button was unbuttoned,revealing the skin on his chest.Recently,because he had been staying indoors and hardly ever going out his skin appeared an unhealthy shade of white,but thankfully, the previous muscle texture began to blur.
The hideous muscles about to break through the skin seemed to gradually disappear,and the skin relaxed.
“Grandpa,l… “Leo was a little surprised. He raised his hand and grabbed the skin on his chest.It was wrinkled,and when he lifted it up and let it go,it quickly dropped back down. It was really unattractive.again.
“Normal!”he said lightly as if he was making a fuss. “You are also a medical student after all. Don’t you know that your skin can become loose when you lose weight after gaining it?It’s the truth!”
“But I’m affected by drugs!”he couldn’t help but say. He was really a little blind to his own body.
No matter how handsome and unrestrained he was,his previous self was at least gentle and handsome, with a straight figure. But now,he despises this skin.
“No matter the influence, the principle is the same!”Standing up,Mr.Drake took the empty bowl away.”I still care about this now. Why? Are you afraid you won’t find a wife?”
Leo’s face became hot,and he turned away, “I don’t want a wife”
“Okay,you are stubborn. Tell your parents about this later!”He raised his eyebrows, looking like he was waiting for a good show.”
Leo was taken aback.”Will my parents come later?”
“Yes,”he said ambiguously,squinting his eyes towards the direction of the door. He thought for a while and added, “I heard that the autopsy report of that little girl came out, it was poison. Then what exactly was fed to you?What kind of poison is the medicine?It’s just a mess, don’t you know?”
He has studied Chinese herbal medicine all his life, but he didn’t expect to be tricked by a little girl when he was old.
When Leo first came back,he really didn’t notice that there was anything wrong with his body. He didn’t get the poison out of his system. He probably wouldn’t have believed it if he hadn’t had an attack.
Whether it’s Chinese herbal medicine or Western medicine,there is always a reaction to the human. body,but he didn’t notice it,so he was really curious about what it was.
It’s a pity the autopsy report from the forensic doctor has been confirmed, so there was no chance of finding out.
That girl,Silvia,didn’t know what was going on recently, and the little one was taken away,leaving him with only this sick child, and he had to be taken care of by his old man. It’s really…very dull!
Sighing he shook his head and entered the room while Leo stared at the back of Mr.Drake in a daze.
Kelly was dead?Really dead?Although he’s heard this news for the past two days,it’s still difficult to accept.He felt uncomfortable like something was stuck in his bones,and he couldn’t swallow or spit it out.
