After Annalise Barton finished administering acupuncture to Lle Xander, she took out a bottle of Vigor Consolidating Pills and handed it to him. “Take this pill every day. It is beneficial to your body.” “Alright, I’ll take it every day.” Lee smiled gently, “Okay,” Annalise replied with a smile. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
She had confirmed the condition of his body. He had once been diagnosed with leukemia. After the bone marrow transplant, the leukemia was cured. Later, he suffered tremendous psychological trauma, causing him to suffer from hidden illnesses and frequent heart pain. After being bedridden for so many years, he was already showing signs of heart failure. If he didn’t get treatment now, then they could only stall for time. At most, he could only live more than a year.
It was also possible that his condition would worsen midway. His life was in grave danger. The Vigor Consolidating Pill could be used to regulate his body. She would then return and refine some Heart Nourishing Pills specifically for coronary heart disease. It could effectively increase the vitality of blood vessels and help the patient clear blood clots and improve blood flow. As long as he was willing to continue with the treatment, she could cure him completely within half a year using medicine and acupuncture. Sybil could not believe her eyes.
Annalise had given Lee an entire bottle of elixir pills. How generous! Was Annalise really Brother’s daughter? She had never heard of him having a daughter! She actually did not know what happened. back then. She was still a child at that time. However, she had vaguely heard of his story back then. He was emotionally hurt and even Most a son. In any case, losing his son, emotional trauma, and leukemia were all things that happened during that period. Her brother had never recovered since then.
At that time, his leukemia had already been cured, but his body was getting worse day by day. He was in a completely rotten state. Regardless of whether Annalise was her brother’s daughter, she hoped Brother could maintain a positive mentality and be open to treatments from now on. Only then would his condition improve. Lee looked at Annalise and said, “I’ll take good care of my body. When I’m
better, I’ll choose a good day for announcing our father-daughter relationship.” If he wanted to protect her, he would do so openly.
“Okay,” Annalise replied. She would treat it as a special fate. Even though she knew that he was not her biological father, Annalise was still happy. She was touched just based on his feelings for his mother and his willingness to acknowledge her. Julian didn’t say anything. He shook Annalise’s hand and said, “It’s good to acknowledge your family, but you must take care of your body. Wife, you’re not alone now”
“Yes, I have another relative now,” Annalise said happily. Julian was a little helpless. “I’m talking about sweetie.” Annalise placed his hand on her stomach. “Yes, we have sweetie now.” “You must remember to rest. You can’t work too hard,” Julian reminded. “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing,” Annalise said. She agreed confidently, but as soon as she returned to the villa, she asked Julian to help her prepare medicinal ingredients. She was going to refine elixir pills.
Afraid she wouldn’t have the energy to refine the pills if the pregnancy symptoms were too serious, she planned to refine all 180 Heart Nourishing Pills that Lee needed for half a year. Annalise could refine more than ten elixir pills at once given her current condition. If she were unlucky, she would only have a few. And if she didn’t feel good, there were instances when she wouldn’t be able to refine a single pill. It was equivalent to her refining at least ten pots. It took a long time to make a pot of elixir pills. It basically took more than three hours.
Julian did not want Annalise to overwork, but he could not bear to reject her request to concoct medicine. He could only get someone to send medicinal ingredients over first. Then he concocted the medicine one pack at a time until it filled a corner in the pill refining room. Looking at the sheer amount of medicinal herb packets, Julian was concerned. How would she cope with refining that many pills? He had seen Annalise refine pills before. A pot could not hold many medicinal ingredients. That meant she needed to refine at least several pots worth.
He advised Annalise, “Wife, let’s take it slow. Refining pills consume too much of your energy. Just refine it once and let him take it first. He doesn’t have to take the pill every day. Just take one every few days. He’s been bedridden for 20 years. It doesn’t matter if his recovery is slower.” He was so anxious that he even wanted to tell her that Lee was not her biological father. However, seeing how happy she was, he could not bear to tell her the truth. He did not know that Annalise had been sensitive since she was young. She could tell even when there was a subtle change in emotions. At that time, she already realized that Lee was not her father.
But it didn’t matter. She just treated it as a form of sustenance. She wanted to work hard to save him. She said, “We’ll get medicinal ingredients first. If my physical condition allows, I’ll refine pills.” “… Alright, I’ll accompany you. If you feel uncomfortable, stop immediately.” Julian wanted to refuse. However, he changed his words. He really couldn’t bear to stop her from showing filial piety. Annalise took a nap at noon and started to refine pills afterward. She had thought it through. If time allowed, she would make two pots every afternoon. On the other side… Lee was elated as well. She was clearly not his biological daughter, but he could not help but feel excited. He seemed to have come back to life.
For the first time, he said to the servants, “In the future, remind me to eat fruits and bask in the sun every day.” In the past, he has no will to live. The servants reminded him to eat, but he did not. When he was famished, he would take a few bites to maintain bodily functions. Every time, the servant could only tell him that he might find his son tomorrow. He had relied on these words to survive until now. Now that he took the initiative to eat and sunbathe, the Xander family was in an uproar. Old Mr. Xander asked excitedly, “Why are you suddenly willing to bask in the sun? Who came today?” The servant told him Sybil had brought her friend Annalise to visit him. Then magically, he started having his meals.
“Good, good! Annalise Barton is a genius. Not only is she Master Quigley’s disciple, but she’s also a graduate student of the Medical University at such a young age. Most importantly, she’s good at connecting with the hearts of people.” Given Lee’s personality, Old Mr. Xander thought no one would be able to convince him. But Annalise managed to do so. Old Mr. Xander had nothing but praises for
her. “By the way, how did she persuade Lee?” he asked. The servant shook her head, indicating that she did not know. Sybil had kept secrets from everyone. Since Lee said he would choose a date to make it public after he recovered a little, she would wait for him. There were no servants present at that time, only the four of them. Hence, no one would know if they did not reveal it themselves. Annalise spent more than three hours refining a pot of medicine. Perhaps it was because she was in a good mood, but her condition was optimal. She made 32 pills in one pot.
Although the clay pot was huge, it was still packed with pills. A few of them were even stuck together. Looking at the 32 pills, she was stunned. “I’ve never refined so many pills in one pot.” She could not hide her excitement. “Wife, you’re amazing. You’ve worked too hard!” Julian wiped Annalise’s sweat. After that, he said, “I’ll carry you. Rest.” They were all exhausted. Annalise looked at the elixir pills in the pot and said, “I want to strike while the iron is hot and refine another pot Julian frowned deeply. “Wife, you’ve been standing for more than three hours. If you continue to work like this, your body won’t be able to take it. Think of sweetie too.”
