Lu Han obediently lay down on the ground. This was the second time Guan Tong had seen Lu Han’s back other than when she took a bath. His body pleased her eyes.

“It might hurt a little. Bear with it.” Guan Tong warned.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside. Guan Tong panicked. Could it be the Old Madam? Guan Tong and Lu Han looked at each other and tacitly put away the acupuncture tools. Then, Guan Tong went and opened the door.

“Greetings, Old Madam.” Doctor Han admired the Old Madam. It was not easy for her to fight her way into the Lu family, and she was only a woman. The important thing was that the Old Madam had a good heart and was a just and reasonable person.

“So Doctor Han is here too. I wonder how Han’er is doing?” The Old Madam walked in and looked at Lu Han on the bed, and asked worriedly.

“Old Madam, please don’t worry. I will do my best to treat him. But you have to take care of your health too.” The Old Madam’s expression darkened when she heard Doctor Han’s words. She knew that Lu Han’s body was not in the most excellent condition.

“Sigh, forget it. Doctor Han, take a look at this medicine.” The Old Madam asked Doctor Han to bring the medicine bowl to him.

Doctor Han leaned forward and sniffed it. His expression became strange. “Old Madam, this is…”

“Tongtong has been married into the Lu family for quite some time. We can’t let Tongtong be lonely all the time.” Old Madam said.

“This medicine is harmless to the Young Master’s health. Old Madam, please rest assured.” Doctor Han nodded. The Old Madam was even more relieved when she heard this. The more she thought about it when she returned yesterday, the more worried she became. Therefore, she decided to watch Lu Han drink the medicine today.

“Tongtong, come give Han’er the medicine.” The Old Madam called out to Guan Tong. 

Guan Tong saw that the Old Madam was not planning to leave. She regurgitated in distress. It seemed that Lu Han could no longer avoid taking the herbal mixture that his grandmother prepared today.

“Yes, Grandmother.” Guan Tong obediently agreed. She smelled the medicine and felt a bit sick. She would find it even more difficult if she were to drink it. Lu Han found it hard to keep a straight face while being fed the medicine.

“Grandmother, it’s done.” The Old Madam was relieved when she saw Lu Han drink it with her own eyes.

“Doctor Han, you must tell me immediately if anything happens to Han’er. You also have a grandson. You would understand my concern.” The Old Madam was a little choked up when she said this.

“Your words are crystal clear. I promise to let you know immediately if something happens to Lu Han.” The doctor said to Old Madam. Liu Juan clenched her fists when Lu Han drank the herbal mixture. What if they succeed in waking up Lu Han? She was not going to give up today. 

After sending off the Old Madam with great difficulty, Lu Han suddenly opened his eyes as he lay on the bed. He felt the heat throughout his body. His grandmother’s herbal mixture was indeed effective.

“Where are you going?” Guan Tong asked as Lu Han was about to get off the bed.

“What do you think?” Lu Han’s eyes were filled with coldness. He was angered by Guan Tong’s making him drink that repulsive herbal mixture.

“I can help you. You don’t need to take a cold shower.” Guan Tong scratched her head with a serious expression.

“Are you sure you want to help me?” Lu Han paused and raised his eyebrows. His words were ambiguous to Guan Tong. She wasn’t entirely sure what he meant.

“No, no, no. What I mean is that I can use acupuncture to help you neutralize the effects of the medicine. Taking a cold shower is not good for your body.” Guan Tong clarified her words.

When Lu Han heard this, he agreed and laid back on the bed. Guan Tong picked up the needle. Lu Han tilted his head and could see Guan Tong’s serious expression. He could not help but be stunned by her. During this short period they spent together, he felt like Guan Tong was genuine.

“It might be a little painful, but you have to bear with it.” No matter how painful the injury was, he had already suffered it. Why would he be afraid of a little poking needle? After Guan Tong said this, she placed the needle on Lu Han’s back.

“Okay.” Sure enough, after placing a few needles, Lu Han groaned in pain.

“Endure it. Don’t make any movement.” Guan Tong commanded. Lu Han did not move at all. He managed to endure the entire process.

“Okay, I’ll pull it out later.” Guan Tong felt that this was the most difficult case she had encountered so far. Every time she placed a needle, she had to think carefully.

“Madam… you…” Doctor Han did not care at first, but the more he looked at the end, the more he felt that something was wrong. Why did this acupuncture technique look so much like someone that he remembered?

“Doctor Han, it’s just ordinary acupuncture.” Guan Tong said with a smile. Doctor Han was stunned when he heard Guan Tong’s words. It seemed that Madam did not want others to know something, but perhaps he was mistaken.

“Madam is right. A few days ago, an old man like me had failed to recognize a great talent like her.” Doctor Han’s attitude toward Guan Tong immediately became respectful. He was no longer being arrogant toward her. 

Doctor Han had practiced medicine for too long and had never met anyone more skilled than him. But now, he was outdone by a young girl. Moreover, he was also convinced that Guan Tong was a person with tremendous capability.

“Doctor Han, you’re too kind. I’ve only learned about it a little.” She said. Doctor Han knew that Guan Tong was modest, so he did not refute. On the contrary, Lu Han, who was on the bed, was surprised. He did not expect a girl like Guan Tong to have any skills. Moreover, Doctor Han also seemed to be hiding something behind his words..
