Chapter 188: The Chen Family’s Protection

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

If Chen Shan had some doubts about Xia Wan putting on a front when she said that she could cure Chen Shui, he had complete trust in her now.

Xia Wan wasn’t saving Chen Shui for the sake of fame or profit. She did it purely for the sake of Chen Mo.

Inexplicably, Chen Shan saw another person’s shadow in Xia Wan. Her style of doing things was like Doctor Luo. She was low-key and had a personality, but she had strength. She would not do things that she was not willing to do just because of an empty reputation.

“If miracle doctor Xia can cure Chen Shui, in the future, if you ask for anything, the Chen family will do our best to help you. At the same time, I will give you a generous reward. I know that you are still studying, but when you enter the capital, the Chen family will definitely help you.”

Chen Shan didn’t directly say how much he was going to give Xia Wan, but whatever he offered was better than money.

Having money didn’t mean that one could do whatever they pleased, let alone connect with the major kingpins in the capital.

The capital was a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There were all kinds of forces playing there, and ordinary wealthy people who rashly entered the city would soon find themselves inadequate to deal with them.

But now, Chen Shan’s promises were equivalent to telling Xia Wan that the Chen family was her backer.

Xia Wan nodded. She did not have any special expression on her face. She said to Chen MO, “Bring me a pen and paper. I’ll write down a prescription for some medicine, and you can ask someone to buy it. Some ingredients might be very difficult to buy and may require effort.”

Chen MO nodded. “It’s okay. As long as it’s what Chen Shui needs, we’ll get it no matter how difficult.”

Soon, Chen MO brought a pen and paper over. Xia Wan wrote down some medicinal herbs. Her handwriting was elegant and strong, which surprised Chen Mo.

She handed the herbs to Chen MO and said, “This is it.”

Chen MO took the prescription, and his eyes widened when he saw the medicinal herbs on it. “Some herbs you’ve included are poisonous.”

Xia Wan nodded. “That’s right. The poison in her body is too potent. A normal antidote won’t be able to cure her. During this period, I will use medicinal herbs to make a tonic to nourish her body. After you get these herbs, I will come back to make the antidote for her. It will take about three months to nourish her body.”

After hearing Xia Wan’s explanation, Chen MO nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll try my best to gather the money within three months.”

“There’s no rush,” Xia Wan said. “Some of the herbs are in the Northwest, which is quite far away. I suggest that your people find a local guide when they get there.

“You seem to know a lot about the Northwest?” Chen MO asked in surprise.

Xia Wan smiled and did not answer Chen Mo’s question directly. Instead, she said, “I’ve only read about it in books. The only thing we need to do now is to cure Chen Shui’s illness, right?”

Chen MO was a smart person. He immediately understood what Xia Wan meant. Everyone had their own secrets. He understood that, so Chen MO did not say much. He nodded and took the prescription out to get the medicinal herbs.

After Chen MO left, Chen Shan said to Xia Wan, “You girls should have a lot to talk about. How about this? I’ll go get you some fruits so you can chat first.”

After that, Chen Shan left, leaving Xia Wan and Chen Shui in the living room.

Xia Wan came to Chen Shui and said, “I’ll give you a massage first. I’ll help you clear some of your acupuncture points so that you won’t feel so uncomfortable.”

“Okay, thank you, sister Xia,” Chen Shui said with a sweet smile.

Xia Wan massaged her acupuncture points. Chen Shui thought it was just a normal massage, but after Xia Wan went on for a while, Chen Shui could clearly feel the changes in her body.

She was clearly not as energetic as the others. Other kids studied in school normally and could play with each other.

However, she could only study at home and was taught by a teacher hired by her family. She only needed to go to school every time she took an exam.

Because of her poor physical strength, she couldn’t afford to go to school normally.

But now, under the effects of Xia Wan’s massage, she felt that her body had recovered some strength. It was as if the blood in her body, which was cold before, was now active.

Slowly, Chen Shui’s face turned red.

This was the scene that greeted Chen Shan when he walked in with a fruit platter..
