"Mom, have you finished taking this medicine yet? Medicine is like a double-edged sword, taking too much is not good," Dominic Hartnell expressed his concern, though he remained calm. His mom had already finished drinking the medicine and handed the porcelain cup to Chen Ma, who was waiting nearby. After Chen Ma took the cup and left, she calmly replied, "It's not that exaggerated. These are just some medicinal herbs for conditioning, they are not toxic. Besides, I've only been drinking them for a few days." However, Dominic Hartnell clearly didn't believe her and continued to inquire further. "Mom, do you feel any discomfort in your body? Tomorrow, I'll take you for a full-body check-up. It's about time you had one this year." I sat silently beside them, mainly because I didn't know what to say at this moment.But even if I didn't say anything, Dominic Hartnell's mom appeared relaxed. She said, "I had a physical examination before I returned to the country, and my health is good." "I started drinking this medicine because a friend recommended it, saying it's very effective. Since you say it's not good to drink too much, then I won't drink it anymore." "There's no need to make such a big fuss." When I heard this, I was taken aback. Not drink it anymore? How can she stop drinking it? This is just the first batch of medicine. Last time when we went to see Doctor Gu, he clearly indicated that long-term medication and conditioning were necessary. If she stops now, what if her condition changes and becomes more serious? Just thinking about it made me feel anxious. I was about to speak up when I saw Dominic Hartnell's mom looking at me. Although she didn't say a word to me, it was strange that I understood the meaning in her eyes. She didn't want me to say too much, to avoid unnecessary trouble and Dominic Hartnell noticing anything unusual. I felt a bit tormented, and for a moment, I really wanted to blurt it out. But in the end, under the gaze of Dominic Hartnell's mom, I suppressed the impulse. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will find an opportunity to talk to her. If she really wants to stop taking the medicine because of this, I won't hide it from Dominic Hartnell anymore, no matter what. After making up my mind, I felt a little relieved. The next day, as soon as I woke up, I started thinking about finding a suitable time to have a private conversation with Dominic Hartnell's mom. But I didn't expect that before I could come up with a plan, she told me after eating breakfast risotto that she wanted me to accompany her for a walk in the afternoon.I nodded without thinking. It's like having a pillow as soon as you want to sleep, great. I stayed peacefully at home all morning, had lunch with risotto, and rested for half an hour. Then I was ready to go out with Dominic Hartnell's mother. Dominic Hartnell wanted to come along, but his mother firmly refused him. She even said that two women going shopping with a grown man was inappropriate. Dominic Hartnell's face turned dark, but I couldn't help but laugh. After dealing with Dominic Hartnell, the two of us called a driver to take us away from the villa. Since the driver was still there, I couldn't say much and could only ask, "Mom, where do you want to go shopping?" "Laowang, let's go to Nanning Road."Nanning Road? That's just one street away from the Chinese medicine clinic. I looked at Dominic Hartnell's mother in surprise. Was she planning to go to the Chinese medicine clinic? The driver, Laowang, agreed and continued to drive steadily, and I didn't say anything else. Soon the car arrived at Nanning Road. Dominic Hartnell's mother told Laowang to stop the car, and the two of us got off by the roadside. After that, she asked Laowang to return to the villa. When the car had driven a distance, Dominic Hartnell's mother looked at me and said calmly, "Let's go to the Chinese medicine clinic." When I heard that we were really going to the Chinese medicine clinic, I was both surprised and happy. I was happy because Dominic Hartnell's mother was unexpectedly proactive this time, taking the initiative to come here and even inviting me. But I was also worried that she came to tell Dr. Gu that she would not come for treatment or take medicine anymore. I couldn't figure out what she was planning, so I could only follow her towards the Chinese medicine clinic. Since she had come, I would see what she had to say and then decide what to do. After walking for ten minutes, the two of us entered the Chinese medicine clinic. It happened to be lunchtime, and there was not a single patient in the clinic. A staff member saw us and came over. Seeing that Dominic Hartnell's mother had the medical records from here, along with the consultation records, the staff member led us directly to the consultation room. When we entered the consultation room, Dr. Gu was wearing glasses and looking at an old-fashioned book. "Oh, why did you come a day early? You should still be able to take the medicine tonight, right?" Dr. Gu was surprised to see us. I didn't say anything. In fact, I didn't expect Dominic Hartnell's mother to come for treatment today. "Yes, I can still take it tonight, but I have something tomorrow, so I came early today. Please take a look." Dominic Hartnell's mother was unusually proactive this time. I couldn't help but feel happy just because of this change. It's not about avoiding the truth, but actively facing it and cooperating with treatment. That's really great. The ancient doctor was surprised, but after listening to the explanation, he didn't delay any further and immediately took Dominic Hartnell's mother's pulse. I remained quietly sitting beside, not daring to make a sound.However, I don't know if it was just my imagination, but it seemed like this pulse examination took longer than the last time. This made me feel nervous, even though the consultation room wasn't hot, a thin layer of sweat slowly formed on my forehead. On the other hand, Dominic Hartnell's mother remained calm, sitting upright without any waves. Just when I started to feel restless, the ancient doctor finally withdrew his hand and a faint smile appeared on his lips. Seeing him not as serious as before, and even smiling, I let out a sigh of relief. This must be good news, at least the condition hasn't worsened. Indeed, while the ancient doctor was writing the prescription with a stylus, he softly spoke, "The situation is still fine, the previous medicine had an effect." "I'll prescribe another month's worth, to be taken once in the morning and once in the evening. Continue to maintain the current state, keep a calm mind, the illness is not as terrifying as it seems." This time, I was quicker than Dominic Hartnell's mother in reacting, and I thanked the doctor with a warm smile, saying, "Thank you, doctor, we will always remember your help." "Mom, you're going to be alright." Dominic Hartnell's mother also became elated, her face no longer displaying its usual calm demeanor. As she expressed her gratitude to the skilled doctor, her voice quivered slightly, and there was even a glimmer of moisture in her eyes. "Doctor... are you being honest? Does the medicine... truly have an effect?"
