Chapter 48 - 47: Women’s Private Club (Part 2)
Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyao’s gaze changed subtly, and she reassessed Ling Chen before finally saying, "How do you know all this? Have you studied medicine?"
Ling Chen gave a noncommittal response, "Miss Liu, let me give you a piece of advice. If you wish to live a few more years, it’s best not to continue taking the medication."
"It’s just traditional Chinese medicine for regulating the body. What could be wrong with it?"
"Miss Liu, if it’s convenient, could you show me your prescription?"
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Xiyao took out her phone, found a memo with the prescription recorded, and handed it over to Ling Chen.
"Is there a problem?"
Ling Chen glanced at it and said, "There’s no big issue with the prescription, but there’s a problem with how the medicine is being used. An extra ingredient has been added to the mix. Taken alone, this herb won’t harm the body, but when mixed with other herbs, it will slowly accumulate in the body, forming a ******** and harming bodily functions. When I took your pulse earlier, you already showed signs of mild poisoning. If you don’t stop taking the medicine immediately and undergo recuperation, you have at most five years left to live." After pausing, he continued, "The reason you fainted earlier was also due to the poisoning."
Hearing this, Liu Xiyao’s complexion changed dramatically, and a flash of anger disappeared from her eyes.
"Miss Liu, we’re strangers; I have no reason to lie to you. No matter who prepared the medicine for you, you need to be cautious."
While saying this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but curse inwardly, outraged that someone could bear to harm such a stunning beauty. It was simply unconscionable.
