Huo Yao glanced at Old Mr. Pei quietly. Why make pills and complicate matters if the problem could be solved using Chinese herbs?

  It was a back-breaking affair to refine pills.

  She shook her head powerlessly and said, “We have to prescribe the right medicine if you want to cure him.”


  Old Mr. Pei choked. Huo Yao’s words really hurt his feelings.

  Pei Rong took the prescriptions from his father and laughed gently after he read them. “Just this much is enough to cure the patient?”


  He was seriously starting to suspect that this young woman was trying to mess with Fang Chen’s health. Could she not see how sick the man was?

  Also, the patient was nothing but skin and bone now. In Chinese medicine, it was said that weak patients could not be forcibly nourished as it would only aggravate their conditions. This was such widely known knowledge in Chinese medicine that even non-doctors knew about it.

  Pei Rong raised the prescriptions in his hand and looked at his father. “Don’t tell me that you are agreeing to this line of treatment?”


  Old Mr. Pei’s eyes landed on Pei Rong’s face. He could empathize when Pei Rong had doubts about the prescriptions.

  If he had not witnessed Huo Yao’s pill-making skills or seen her cure Min Yu, he would probably react the same way as Pei Rong did.

  After all, Fang Chen was a man of high status, so they had to take things seriously.

  Old Mr. Pei went quiet for two seconds before he replied solemnly. “Rong, you have never seen the work she is capable of doing. I believe she can……”


  Pei Rong did not feel like listening to Old Mr. Pei the moment Old Mr. Pei implied that he trusted Huo Yao, so he interrupted his father. “Fine. Since you trust her, let’s go with her treatment plan. I won’t argue with you over it. However, if something goes wrong with the patient, who is going to be held responsible for the consequences?”


  Huo Yao pursed her lips as she looked at Pei Rong calmly and said succinctly, “I will.”


  Old Mr. Pei was about to respond, but Pei Rong interrupted him. “Good.”


  He wanted to see how a girl like her was going to take accountability for the adverse outcomes from the treatment plan.

  Pei Rong laughed gently.

  Lin Shuwen came back after preparing the car and could keenly sense the tense atmosphere in the guest room.

  Pei Rong handed Huo Yao’s prescription to Lin Shuwen. “Secretary Lin, here is Miss Huo’s prescription. She claims that she can cure Mr Fang.”


  Lin Shuwen was stunned. He glanced at Pei Rong before he took the prescription hesitantly.

  Although he was not medically trained, he could identify some of the ingredients and knew that herbs like ginseng were powerful tonics. He could not help raising his head to ask him in shock. “There are a lot of highly nourishing herbs in this list. Is it okay for him to take these?”


  Pei Rong’s square-shaped face always held a proud look. He glanced at Huo Yao before he replied softly. “You’ll have to ask Miss Huo about that. She knows her prescription the best.”


  Lin Shuwen frowned. He was unable to trust this girl’s recommended medicine. He turned to look at Huo Yao and contemplated briefly before he asked her. “Miss Huo, what is Mr. Fang suffering from?”


  The moment he finished his sentence, Fang Chen turned off his phone and looked at Lin Shuwen. He said in a hoarse voice, “Shuwen, just prepare the medicine as written in the prescription.”


  Pei Rong instinctively looked at Fang Chen with clear disbelief in his eyes.

  Considering how rational Fang Chen was, he probably would not blindly believe the little lass’s unfounded diagnosis, so he deliberately said so much with him around.

  Despite claiming that the Pei family would not be held accountable if something went awry with Huo Yao’s treatment plan, there was no way the clan would escape unscathed.
