Chapter 23: Medicine

Doctor, After he saw Jiang Cheng finish the second bowl of rice, Fatty said, You can slow down. No one is going to steal your food.

Jiang Cheng poured himself a bowl of soup and gurgled it down. He then put down the bowls and wiped his lips with satisfaction. By then, Fatty had barely finished half of his first bowl.

Jiang Cheng asked with a concerned tone, Why arent you eating?

Fatty looked at the two pieces of potatoes and some leaves floating in the bowl and slowly put down his chopsticks. Doctor, Im on a diet.

Alright. Jiang Cheng nodded. I wont tell you to eat anymore.

After the meal, Fatty went to clean the dishes while Jiang Cheng sat at the office table. The typing noise showed his carefree nature. Fatty came back to sit on the couch after he was done with the dishes. As he dried his hands, he asked Jiang Cheng about his job. Jiang Cheng answered easily.

Fatty blinked in confusion, Doctor, I saw a lot of medicine in the kitchen cabinets. Most of them are for physical wounds. There are also painkillers. Why do you keep so many of them? Jiang Cheng looked very healthy. Fatty felt like he even ate more than he did. The medicine was clearly not for him.

To Fattys surprise, Jiang Cheng revealed a thoughtful look. Then, he went to the kitchen to grab a painkiller patch. Jiang Cheng opened the box and took a slip out. Then, he turned around to look at Fatty judgingly. He would lower his head to look at the patch too.

Fatty was befuddled by his action. He suddenly had a bad feeling. Doctor, he asked in panic, Why are you looking at me like that?

No reason. Jiang Cheng put away the patch and replaced the box. Then, he sat back down at his table like nothing happened.

Fatty whipped his head at Jiang Cheng. The man leaned against the table and flipped through his notes. He didnt even raise his head. Jiang Cheng turned another page and said, You can leave at any time. But I have to warn you. Once you leave that door, you are not coming back.

Can I really leave? Hearing that, Fatty hesitated again. The man before him was definitely different from normal, but he didnt seem like an evil person. A few seconds later, Fatty made his decision, Doctor, I think Ill stay. That way, we can look after each other. He licked his lips and asked, But can you tell me what the medicine is for?

Jiang Cheng sighed as if having solved a problem. He put away the file and lifted his head to look at Fatty, his eyes asking if he wanted to know.

Fatty nodded consecutively.

Jiang Cheng pursed his lips. After a serious consideration, he said, Okay. Ill tell you, but you cant tell anyone else. This is very important to me.

Fatty was affected by Jiang Chengs words. He sat up straight and became serious, like he was taking an oath. He believed this had something to do with Jiang Chengs hidden illness. When facing Chen Xiaomeng, he mentioned only needing 30 seconds. Perhaps he was not lying.

Fatty suddenly pitied the handsome man before him. God was fair. Everyone had a pain hidden deep inside their heart. Jiang Cheng suddenly became willing to share his secrets.

Fatty then turned to Jiang Cheng with encouragement. Doctor, Im ready. You can start now.

Okay. Jiang Cheng nodded. The bandage is to tie you up. The medical bandage is to seal up your mouth to stop him from calling for help. The painkillers will help keep you awake during the torture. I have two boxes of adrenaline here. They are so hard to find and very pricey. I might not use them on you. Jiang Cheng snapped his fingers like he had just thought of something. Right. I also prepared some hallucinogens to put in your water. Wait for me. Ill give them for you to drink.

Fatty, ???
