Chapter 66

Outside the door of the east wing room, Xiao Yuchuan paced back and forth anxiously, unable to stop for a moment.

Behind him, a middle-aged man who looked like a bodyguard held a medicine bag, his eyes fixed on the door, shining with a sharp light.

Xiao Junlan was equally worried. After a moment of thought, she opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Another ten minutes passed, and she bit her lip, then said to Xiao Yuchuan, "Brother—, if Xiaoli can't do it, I hope you won't blame him!"

Xiao Yuchuan was taken aback, his steps pausing as he looked at Xiao Junlan.

Their eyes met, and after a long moment, Xiao Yuchuan sighed deeply, "I understand Father's condition very well. Whether he can or cannot, as long as he tries his best, that's all that matters."

Xiao Junlan nodded, saying no more.

If she wasn't worried that Xiaoli might fail to save Father, causing Xiao Yuchuan to blame him, she wouldn't have said anything.

Ever since they entered Yanjing, Xiaoli had been very assertive, ready to act without hesitation, showing no restraint. Despite this, Xiao Junlan still had her concerns. After all, she didn't know the true identity of the important person her son had mentioned, or whether he could control the Xiao family.

Half an hour later, when they heard the door open, the three of them turned their heads simultaneously.

Xiao Junlan hurried forward, grabbing Xiaoli's hand and asking anxiously, "How is Grandpa?"

"Relax, he's been saved. Starting today, take the medicine on time, and he'll wake up tomorrow. As long as he doesn't overwork himself and pays attention to his diet, he should be fine for the next three to five years," Xiaoli said calmly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"What? Saved?" Xiao Yuchuan exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

"If you don't believe me, you can have someone else check," Xiaoli said, not wanting to deal with Xiao Yuchuan. He turned to Xiao Junlan, "Mom, you can go in now. I'll go boil the medicine." He then gestured to the middle-aged man, "Take me to the kitchen."

"Hmm?"

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a sharp light, glancing at Xiao Yuchuan. Seeing Xiao Yuchuan nod, he agreed and led Xiaoli to the kitchen.

Seeing the two of them walk away, Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Junlan exchanged a glance. Xiao Junlan quickly looked away and hurried into the room. Xiao Yuchuan thought for a moment, then followed, pulling out his phone to make a call.

The room was filled with a faint scent of mugwort. The two of them approached Xiao Jinhua's bed, looking down at his face, which was now slightly rosy, their eyes filled with joy.

Soon, several doctors arrived with examination equipment and began a comprehensive check-up on Xiao Jinhua.

As time passed, Xiao Yuchuan's expression grew increasingly serious and anxious.

Finally, the doctors put away their equipment, leaving one behind while the others departed.

"How is Father?"

"Sir, this is a miracle!"

The doctor's face was full of amazement as he exclaimed, "The old man's condition has completely improved, and his internal organs are beginning to recover. Apart from being a bit weak, he is no longer in any danger. Once he wakes up, he will definitely recover. Sir, I will prescribe some medicine for him. As long as he takes it on time, he will be cured."

Xiao Yuchuan's face turned red with excitement. He forced himself to remain calm and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "No need. Thank you for taking care of my father during this time. I will speak to President Li later and commend you all."

The doctor was overjoyed at Xiao Yuchuan's promise but humbly said, "Not at all, not at all. It's all due to the old man's good fortune that this medical miracle has occurred."

Xiao Yuchuan's face was full of strange thoughts. He thought to himself, "What good fortune? If there is any, it must have been brought by Xiaoli." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at his sister, his mind filled with complex emotions.

Noticing Xiao Yuchuan's unusual expression, the doctor quickly excused himself.

The door closed, and Xiao Yuchuan looked at Xiao Jinhua, then turned to his sister, "Junjun, if I did anything wrong in the past, don't hold it against me."

"Brother!"

Hearing Xiao Yuchuan apologize, Xiao Junlan's eyes welled up with tears, and her voice trembled, "Father has already forgiven me. Everything is in the past, and I won't blame you."

"Ah!" Xiao Yuchuan sighed deeply and continued, "Junjun, Xiaoli is a good child. You have a good son."

"Brother."

Xiao Yuchuan waved his hand to stop her, "I understand. Xiaoli has a grudge against me, but I don't blame him. With his medical skills, he has the right to look down on me."

Thinking of Xiaoli's almost miraculous medical skills, Xiao Yuchuan felt both admiration and relief. He was glad he hadn't listened to his wife and acted rashly, or he would have regretted it.

A good doctor is nothing special. With the Xiao family's influence, countless famous doctors could be summoned at will. But a divine doctor was an exception.

Even the top families in Yanjing couldn't compare to the value of a life. In the face of life, pride was nothing.

"Junjun, who did your nephew learn his medical skills from?" Xiao Yuchuan asked.

Xiao Junlan shook her head, "I don't know."

"You don't know?" Xiao Yuchuan exclaimed in surprise.

"Xiaoli, though academically excellent, studied economics and management. I've never heard him mention his medical skills. If it weren't for today, I might still be in the dark," Xiao Junlan said, a bitter smile appearing on her face. Such an important matter, and he hadn't even hinted at it. Truly, a grown child is beyond a mother's control!

Xiao Yuchuan clicked his tongue, "It seems we don't know him well enough."

An hour later, Xiaoli entered the east wing room with two thermal flasks, took out a teacup, and filled it to one-fifth full.

He walked to Xiao Junlan, handed her the teacup, and explained, "Each time, fill the teacup to one-fifth. Take it every other day. One dose is enough for a month, and after three months, he should be cured."

Xiao Yuchuan's eyes lit up. He bent down and helped Xiao Jinhua sit up, while Xiao Junlan carefully fed him the medicine.

Xiaoli stood by, watching. After the medicine was finished, he picked up the other thermal flask, "Mom, let's go back. He won't wake up today."

"Wait," Xiao Yuchuan quickly stopped him, "Junjun, you haven't been back for so many years. Stay for a while. And Xiaoli, it was wrong of Grandpa and Uncle. I apologize to you. Don't hold it against us."

Hearing Xiao Yuchuan's apology, Xiaoli shrugged indifferently. Whose Grandpa and Uncle? He had never even met them, let alone felt the need to call them that.

After all, they were different from Xiao Junlan, who was his biological mother in this life. This relationship could never be changed.

Therefore, Xiaoli only acknowledged Xiao Junlan, and the others didn't have that right yet.

Seeing Xiaoli's dismissive attitude, Xiao Yuchuan sighed inwardly and turned to Xiao Junlan, his eyes full of hope.

Xiao Junlan knew that if she asked, Xiaoli would likely not object.

After a moment's thought, she said to Xiaoli, "Since your friends have booked a hotel, go back with them. I want to stay and be with Father."

"Okay."

Xiao Yuchuan nodded without hesitation.

After being away from home for twenty years, it would be unreasonable to leave now that Father was seriously ill.

"Stay as long as you want. If anyone annoys you, feel free to scold or hit them. If anyone complains, well, they'll have to bear the consequences."

With that, he glared at Xiao Yuchuan and left, carrying the thermal flask containing the Da Peiyuan Decoction.
