The Sweetest Medicine

“Neurotoxicity?”

Zhang Sa was shocked.

Yu Gangan nodded her head, “He must have taken something that has a strong effect on his nervous system. This medicine must only target the nervous system and have little side-effects. So, even though it can’t be detected in his bloodstream, the toxicity has been accumulating in his body and slowly damaging his nerves.”

“What medicine has uncle been taking?” Zhang Sa immediately asked her auntie.

Auntie Zhang replied in a panic, “Just some Chinese medicine that you prescribed for replenishing the body. He stopped taking his Western medicine after he recovered.”

“Do you have any left over?” Yu Gangan asked.

“No,” Auntie Zhang said as she shook her head.

Yu Gangan pulled out a pen and paper and started writing two prescriptions for Zhang Sa, “One is to be applied, the other is to be taken. I’m sure you know how to prepare it. Give it a try and see how he goes. If there is anything strange with his pulse, you can always contact me.”

Zhang Sa received the prescriptions and nodded her head, “OK.”

“Don’t worry. I can’t guarantee that your uncle will be completely cured, but I can promise that he won’t get any worse,” Yu Gangan comforted.

Zhang Sa smiled.

Auntie Zhang also looked at Yu Gangan thankfully.

By the time Yu Gangan left Zhang Sa’s home, it was already noon.

Zhang Sa invited the couple to stay for lunch, but Yu Gangan didn’t want to trouble them. After all, they still needed to care for Uncle Zhang. So, she rejected the offer.

Fang Zhihan ended up taking her to a French restaurant where they ordered two steaks and two desserts.

The restaurant was quiet. All that could be heard were the sounds of forks and knives.

Normally, Yu Gangan was quite talkative, but she was silent today. She was busy thinking about the correlation between her teacher, the medical records and Zhang Sa’s uncle.

Yu Gangan never expected that Zhang Sa’s uncle would be one of the people in the medical records that her teacher collected.

Why did her teacher collect those records?

Was Uncle Zhang’s illness related to these records?

He was obviously suffering from neurotoxicity and his condition was quite complex and serious. She didn’t know if she could completely cure him, but she hoped he could at least come to his senses.

While deep in thought, Yu Gangan lifted her glass and took a sip of the juice inside.

As she placed it down, half of her glass landed on top of her plate and almost tipped over.

Yu Gangan jumped in fright.

Fang Zhihan immediately stretched out his hand to help her. “Is your senior’s uncle difficult to treat?” he asked seriously.

Ever since they left Zhang Sa’s home, Yu Gangan’s expression had been dull like she had been met with a tough obstacle, so Fang Zhihan immediately thought of the uncle’s illness.

Yu Gangan shook her head, “No.”

All of a sudden, she remembered that Fang Zhihan had also seen her teacher’s medical records and had wanted to find him. Moreover, he actually had the ability to investigate him. The quiet Yu Gangan suddenly looked at Fang Zhihan with bright eyes.

Fang Zhihan raised an eyebrow, gesturing for Yu Gangan to speak.

“That day, when I was hit by my teacher’s box, there were some medical records lying inside. You saw them, didn’t you?” she asked quietly.

Fang Zhihan nodded gently.

“There was a patient on those records called Zhang Rongbiao. Do you remember?” she asked.

Fang Zhihan nodded.

He already asked someone to investigate all the names on the records, so he naturally recognized them.

Yu Gangan looked at the man with seriousness, “My senior’s uncle is called Zhang Rongbiao and he was diagnosed with dysentery at the Qiao Family’s Bozhi Hospital. It matches the information on one of my teacher’s medical records. They are obviously the same person!!”
