She had mentioned it to her daughter before but didn’t reinforce it. After all, she and her husband had known the other two families for over a decade. However, she was now terrified, so she brought it up again to her daughter. She didn’t want anything worse to happen.

“I see,” He Xiaofeng said compliantly. “I’m going back to my room.”

He Xiaofeng was still worried about her friends. After she had returned into her own bedroom, she called them.

“I’m fine, how about you?” Du Baozhan was still at home. He tried his best to survive a withdrawal with his parent’s support. He planned to see Wang Yao the next day.

“I just came back from Dr. Wang’s clinic. He gave me another dose of decoction. Honglin also went,” He Xiaofeng said.

They chatted for a short while. He Xiaofeng hung up and called Sun Honglin, who was still upset.

“That doctor is so bloody rude! He doesn’t deserve my respect,” Sun Honglin said.

“What happened?” He Xiaofeng frowned. She appreciated Wang Yao very much due to the effectiveness of the decoctions. Wang Yao gave her hope and confidence. If she hadn’t gone to see him, she would probably end up in a rehabilitation center. Then, she would be on a different path of life. Therefore, she didn’t like what Sun Honglin say about Wang Yao.

“My mom just complained a bit. He let my parents wait outside for over an hour in cold weather! He is so pretentious. He just did it for money,” Sun Honglin said.

“I don’t think Dr. Wang cares about money,” He Xiaofeng said.

If Wang Yao cared about money, he would have taken the chance to ask them for money during their first encounter. Instead, Wang Yao insisted that he would only treat them with their parents’ presence. Looking back, He Xiaofeng thought Wang Yao did it for their own good.

“Xiaofeng, why do you speak for him?” Sun Honglin sounded unhappy at the other end of the phone. “He charged us $10,000 for one bottle of decoction. When I’m recovered, I’ll get him to pay it back.”

“Well, you sound alright now,” He Xiaofeng said. She thought her friend had gone too far, so she was not keen to continue to chat with him.

“I have to go now,” she said.

“OK. By the way, Xiaofeng, when can we catch up?” Sun Honglin asked.

“I’m not sure. I’ll let you know. I’m so tired now. Speak to you later,” she said as she hung up the phone.

What’s wrong with Honglin? Her friend didn’t used to be this way.

The next morning, Wang Yao left Nanshan Hill early. He accompanied his mother to his grandparents’ house. His grandma didn’t look well. Wang Yao took a good look at her.

“It’s nothing serious. You just caught a cold, which made you weak.” After all, his grandma was an elderly woman who could easily get sick due to small issues.

Wang Yao had prepared some herbs on Nanshan Hill.

“Grandma, do you still have the China pot?” he asked.

“Yes,” his grandma said.

“I’ll brew you two decoctions,” Wang Yao said.

He had purchased the pot for his grandparents. Although it was not as good as his multifunctional pot for herbs, it was a high-quality pot.

There were some firewood available in the backyard. Wang Yao started to brew the decoctions in the kitchen.

All the herbs were from Wang Yao’s herbal field, so they were absolutely natural. With the nurturing of the aura on Nanshan Hill, the quality of his herbs was much better than common wild herbs.

Wang Yao brewed two decoctions. One was to expel the coldness from his grandma’s body. The other was to consolidate his grandma’s corporeity.

After he had finished brewing the decoction, he gave some to his grandma to take right away. He left the rest of the decoction at his grandparents’ house and told them how to take it.

“I was going to visit your uncle today,” his grandma said.

“Tell me when you want to go. I can drive you there,” Wang Yao said.

He then gave his grandma a massage to facilitate the absorption of the decoction and improve her blood circulation.

“Phew!” Wang Yao’s grandma took a big breath.

After she had taken the two decoctions from Wang Yao and received massage therapy, she felt much more comfortable. She had a warm feeling and was no longer that tired and weak.

“How do you feel, grandma?” Wang Yao asked.

“Good, I feel much better,” his grandma replied.

“Don’t get up too soon. Stay in bed to rest for a while,” Wang Yao said.

He lit the firewood underneath the sleeping platform, which soon became nice and warm.
