General Zhou’s condition had not shown any significant improvent yet, but Du Kai Bo was halfway relieved, as he had complete trust in this incredibly young Mystic Doctor, Beisitian.
Perhaps so people thought his trust was sowhat blind and inexplicable, but he trusted her just so. Any doubts had already been dispelled since the first ti.
i Siyuan was one of those people who always relied on data, believing only what he saw. The first ti Beisitian gave the talismanic water to drink, it brought significant changes to General Zhou’s health data, even though it was just to delay the disease progression.
But now, during the formal treatnt, the data did not show much change. Was it because the bad water inside his body had developed resistance to Beisitian’s talismanic water?
If that’s the case, it may not necessarily be successful.
i Siyuan was filled with doubt and anxiety, worried that if Beisitian couldn’t succeed, who else could possibly save General Zhou? So he couldn’t understand Du Kai Bo’s blind trust. Unlike traditional Chinese dicine, they relied on concrete data.
i Siyuan harbored doubts but didn’t show them. Whether Beisitian could cure him or not, she had given her best effort, and she bore no obligation or responsibility for it.
Beisitian left a prescription and five bottles of talismanic water with the Tian Family Brothers. The prescription was to be taken with the talismanic water for five days straight, after which she would provide further prescriptions for adjustnt.
This ti, Beisitian did not go back to the Tian Family but returned to her own small courtyard. Shortly after she left, Wei Zhongxun returned. He first visited Zhou Biwu’s hospital room. When he ca out, there was a slight look of excitent on his face, yet no one asked further, and he left again.
Du Kai Bo and i Siyuan couldn’t bother with him; their minds were all on General Zhou’s data. By evening, as Beisitian had predicted, a fever set in, with temperatures reaching 38.2°C, lingering around without going excessively high, nor coming down.
They followed Beisitian’s instructions, not daring to use dication, only resorting to physical cooling thods. Strangely, although General Zhou had been fevering, his body’s data was climbing towards normal values.
Du Kai Bo was not surprised by this, while i Siyuan felt very happy.
At midnight, Tian Qinghui gave General Zhou the first dose of traditional Chinese dicine mixed with talismanic water. After a period of relentless practice, he finally mastered the skill of administering dicine. Perhaps because of this determination, he now surpassed his mother Dong Fengzhen in technique, without spilling a drop of talismanic water, making Tian Qingyao envious.
He also wanted to learn; why wasn’t he present at that ti?
It was probably the first day of Mystic Doctor’s treatnt, and no one left Zhou Biwu’s hospital room. Du Kai Bo and i Siyuan stayed by Zhou Biwu’s side. Due to limited space, the Tian Family Brothers stayed in the lounge, occasionally coming in to check the situation.
After administering the first dose of traditional Chinese dicine, Zhou Biwu’s body data progressed significantly towards normal values. The Tian Family Brothers could also see a noticeable change in his complexion, reflecting improvents in his vital organs, indicating that the situation was progressing positively.
Past one in the morning, Du Kai Bo and i Siyuan also couldn’t hold up any longer. The past two days had been too exhausting for them; due to declining data, they had worked till past two the previous night before getting any sleep. Today, being anxious and nervous due to Beisitian’s early treatnt disrupted their peace of mind, which was most draining. Now, they could no longer keep their eyes open.
They went outside; Tian Qinghui was awake, while Tian Qingyao dozed off on the sofa. After saying a word, they also sat down and quickly fell asleep with their eyes closed.
At around five in the morning, Tian Qinghui woke the three up, saying Zhou Biwu had a situation.
The three hurriedly got up, with bloodshot eyes, and entered the hospital room, only to see Zhou Biwu’s body convulsing even more severely than before.
Du Kai Bo and i Siyuan looked towards the monitoring equipnt at the bedside in unison, seeing little change in heart rate. What was happening?
Two practitioners of Chinese dicine and two of Western dicine conducted a full-body examination on Du Kai Bo but found nothing unusual, so the only thing left was to examine the blood, although blood test results would take so ti. anwhile, Zhou Biwu’s convulsions seed to be worsening.
"Should we call Beibei?" Tian Qingyao tentatively suggested.
With the directors of two major hospitals present, along with core family mbers of two Chinese dicine families, yet still needing to call for help, this was the reason for Tian Qingyao’s lack of confidence.
The other three, hearing his suggestion, glared at him in unison, making Tian Qingyao imdiately feel he had said sothing wrong. However...
"Why didn’t you say so earlier!" Tian Qinghui said irritably.
The other two, though silent, had expressions saying the sa. Tian Qingyao instantly felt less uneasy; since everyone was like this, he naturally had no reason to feel guilty.
Tian Qingyao hurriedly took out Beisitian’s phone number; this, after all, was given to Tian Zhi by her, who managed to get hold of it sohow.
Du Kai Bo imdiately dialed Beisitian using the rest house phone. By then, it was past five-forty. After the phone rang for a while, a drowsy, lazy voice answered, a sweet and sticky tone that made even soone of Du Kai Bo’s age skip a beat.
"Doctor Bei, I’m really sorry to disturb you at this hour. Since half past four in the morning, General Zhou has been experiencing varying degrees of muscle spasms. We’ve just conducted a full-body examination and found all other indicators normal. The blood has been tested, but results aren’t out yet. We are worried about any issues, so we called you."
Beisitian rubbed her eyes, her mind hazy. After gathering her thoughts, she understood Du Kai Bo’s words and replied, "It’s okay, such conditions will appear within the first three days. It’s not muscle spasms but the talismanic water taking effect. The bad water has long corroded the body, and during the talismanic water’s effects, there will be severe pain, thus causing such reactions, but they have little impact. Do not treat it or use any dication."
Du Kai Bo was relieved.
"Once the fever breaks, General Zhou’s body will gradually recover under the influence of the restorative talismanic water, but it will take a few days for him to regain consciousness. Before he wakes up, it’s best to keep this confidential," Beisitian said.
Hearing that he would regain consciousness in a few days, Du Kai Bo was overjoyed and imdiately promised not to disclose anything, temporarily suppressing any reports until he was fully conscious.
After hanging up the phone, Du Kai Bo quickly shared this news with the other three, all of whom had joyful expressions on their faces.
By eight or nine in the morning, General Zhou’s body temperature began to drop, and Du Kai Bo and the other three could not bear to take a step away.
Just as Beisitian had finished preparing breakfast, she heard an urgent knock on the door. She went to the door and opened it, seeing Tian Qiu standing outside with tears streaming down her face, her hair slightly disheveled, looking utterly distressed.
"There’s a woman... pregnant with Weng Yong’an’s child, seeking my help..." Tian Qiu couldn’t finish her sentence before bursting into tears.
