Su Yan-Chu understood the gravity of the situation and momentarily set aside his playful demeanor. However, before he could turn around, he heard Sister Tang's voice filled with complaints.
"What's wrong with you today? Holding on so tightly, are you trying to murder me?"
At that moment, Sister Tang was being dragged into the room by the cold-faced Shen Muhan. As soon as he released her, he pushed her away and said coldly, "Look at his hand."
Sister Tang wanted to explode; being treated like this by a junior in public had completely humiliated her. But seeing the anger radiating from Shen Muhan's dark eyes, she swallowed her words and touched her nose before looking at Summer Forest's hand.
However, due to the lighting and Su Yan-Chu's tall figure, Xia Muxin only heard a cold and commanding voice. When she turned her head, all she saw was the fluttering black robe, and she slightly tugged at her lips, redirecting her attention.
"This injury has lasted so long; it's fortunate it hasn't broken."
"Doctor Tang, I've heard so much about you. Can my father's hand still be treated?"
Xia Muxin remained silent, but Sister Tang had overlooked her presence. Then she thought for a moment—was Shen Muhan interested in this girl?
But she quickly dismissed that idea. Shen Muhan was already twenty; this girl looked so thin and frail, lacking any curves. How could she catch the eye of the Heir? He didn't even look at Ning'er, such a stunning beauty. Besides, this girl appeared to be only eleven or twelve years old—wasn't that child abuse?
"Look carefully; otherwise, I'll smash your clinic's sign."
Suddenly, a cold and threatening voice reached her ears. Sister Tang was startled and nearly jumped up. What had gotten into this kid today?
They even resorted to whispering through the wall.
At that moment, I dared not be distracted any longer. I pulled and squeezed Summer Forest's hand, finally concluding, "There is a way to heal, but the medicine is hard to obtain. It requires a hundred-year-old Snow Lotus as an ingredient."
"What if we don't have this Snow Lotus?" Xia Muxin knew how difficult it was to find such precious herbs in this era. Even if healing wasn't possible, at least it could help him regain some strength. Being able to do light work would be good; at least next time they encountered scoundrels, he wouldn't be bullied again.
As for the Snow Lotus, she would think of ways to obtain it slowly.
"If we don't have it... he could still recover to about seventy or eighty percent of his former self, but the cost..."
"Money is not an issue, Doctor Tang. Let's get the medicine now. I have thirty taels on me, plus another twenty from home. Let's see how long that can last." Upon hearing that her father could recover to seventy or eighty percent of his former self, Xia Muxin's eyes lit up. She immediately took out the thirty taels she earned from selling Game Meat.
"Alright, I'll prescribe you a month's worth of medicine, which will cost exactly thirty taels."
"Great."
Xia Muxin happily followed Sister Tang to the Tang Family Medical Hall, where she came out with thirty large bags of medicine. The prescription required one dose per day, boiled down from three bowls of water to one bowl, and the second dose only needed to be reduced to half a bowl.
"Muxin, why spend so much? We can never earn back this amount of silver in our lifetime!"
Watching Xia Muxin place the thirty bags of medicine onto the cart, Summer Forest felt heartbroken. No matter how much he tried to stop Muxin, she remained resolute.
"Dad, money is just an external thing; family is the most precious in this world."
