Chapter 503 - 499 The rhythm seems a bit off
"My body has recovered quite well, and now I can almost walk around on the ground. It’s just that my muscles have atrophied a bit from not moving for a long time, so I need some time for rehabilitative training before I can be officially discharged,"
Xue Man turned her head in surprise and glanced at Lu Tianxing. Ever since she followed Lu Tianxing’s instructions to brew medicine with that Golden Cicada for her mother, her mother’s health had been getting better and better, changing day by day, completely bidding farewell to the lifeless body she had half a month ago.
If it weren’t for the hospital gown and a bit of weakness, she would hardly believe that only half a month ago, her mother was the person whom even the doctors had declared beyond rescue, left to wait for death.
"It seems that Auntie’s health is good. The reason for her sudden collapse was that Golden Cicada. With the Golden Cicada driven away, Auntie’s health naturally recovered. From now on, she just needs to rest and recuperate,"
Lu Tianxing nodded. He didn’t tell Xue Man about the Golden Cicada Gu Master, sometimes ignorance is bliss.
"Yes."
Xue Man sighed with emotion and said softly, "Lu Tianxing, I really can’t thank you enough this time. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid my mother’s fate would have been..."
Xue Man didn’t continue, but the meaning was clear. The fate would only be death.
"It’s nothing. Besides, didn’t you pay me a reward? As the saying goes, ’Take the money, and ward off the disaster.’ Our deal was fair and square, no need for thanks,"
"Lu Tianxing, how can you say that? If you dare to do this again, I’ll kick you to death."
Xue Man pouted, her face flushed red, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into. How could she not know what Lu Tianxing was referring to as the reward? Even now, whenever she closed her eyes at night, she couldn’t help but relive that moment, without much anger, but rather with a hint of shy embarrassment.
