Chapter 468 - 149 Appearance_3
Hai Tang sobbed, "I just feel too distressed, seeing the old master suffer like this, it breaks my heart. If the miss and the young master were still here, seeing such a scene, I can’t imagine how much pain they would feel. Now that both the miss and the young master are gone, I don’t even know whether it’s a blessing in disguise." She mocked herself with a laugh, "Why is it that good people never get their just rewards?"
"Because the justice of this world is, for the time being, the justice of the wicked," said Jiang Li in a soothing voice that seemed to heal all wounds within one’s heart. She continued calmly, "It’s okay, look, at least County Magistrate Xue is still alive. At first, County Magistrate Xue almost lost his life to murderers, but as long as he’s alive, there’s hope, and everything will get better. You must believe that, and I think, your miss and young master would have thought the same."
Hai Tang nodded her head.
Seeing that their conversation was about to end, Situ Jiuyue did not delay any further. She immediately began to apply acupuncture to Xue Huaiyuan, who had grown accustomed to this treatment every few days. He was no longer as resistant as he was at the beginning and obediently let Situ Jiuyue manipulate the needles.
As Situ Jiuyue applied the needles, she spoke with Jiang Li, who asked, "Miss Jiuyue, is County Magistrate Xue doing a bit better compared to the past?"
"Indeed," replied Situ Jiuyue, "he has started to consciously do things he was accustomed to, like reading books. Although he’s not truly reading just yet, his actions have already shown that his memories are gradually being awakened. It’s a long process, but as long as this trend continues, step by step he will remember more, until he recalls who he is, and his lost memories and senses can be retrieved."
Jiang Li and Hai Tang were overjoyed.
As long as there was hope for Xue Huaiyuan to recover, there would come a day when Jiang Li would recognize him. However... casting a glance at Hai Tang, Jiang Li pondered for a moment and asked, "Miss Jiuyue, about the scars on Hai Tang’s face, is there any way to treat them?"
"I’ve asked her, and she said it’s not necessary," said Situ Jiuyue.
