“He’s fine. It’s already amazing that he could bear with it and only faints now. He’ll wake up once I pull the needles out later. However, he could be fine one day and revert to his child’s mind the next day. Whatever happens, it’s all normal.” Zhao Chuchu quickly stopped Zhao Meilan.

Zhao Meilan grabbed Zhao Chuchu’s hands and asked, “He won’t do something that will hurt himself, right?”

“He won’t. What I mean is that he will switch between his adult and child selves. So you don’t have to worry too much.”

“Really?”

“Have I ever lied to you?

“Alright.

Zhao Meilan might look like she felt a little relief after hearing that, but she was still extremely nervous.

She didn’t know how Hu Yiming would treat her after he had finally recovered.

“But, we’ll have to continue with the acupuncture every day for the next ten days for him to completely stabilize and fully recover. So, you should head back and tell your grandmother-in-law to send him over daily.”

“Does he need to take any medicine?

“Not for now. Once the acupuncture is over, I’ll give you a prescription for him.”

“Okay.”

“Are you scared?”

“More like conflicted…l want him to recover, but I also secretly hope that he stays like this forever. Am I selfish?”

“That is not selfish. It is just how a person would normally feel. No matter what that conflict is, you’ve already made up your mind, right? If you ever run into a situation where you have no idea what to choose, then choose to follow your heart. At least you won’t regret your choices later on.”

“Your words always make so much sense.”

Zhao Meilan turned to look at Hu Yiming. Needles were spread from his

shoulders to his head, and his face was ashen. Even after losing consciousness, he was still sweating all over the place.

It was a painful sight for her to see. However, if he could recover with the help of acupuncture, she hoped he would endure the pain.

“It’s not that what I said makes sense. I’m just telling you not to regret your own choice.”

“I know. I won’t.”

“Meilan, being too kind is not a good thing, but there is some kindness that will benefit you for the rest of your life.”

“I don’t care what will happen in the future anymore. He’s my husband, and all

I want is for him to get better. That’ll be enough.”

“He will. Believe me.”

After Zhao Chuchu removed the needles, Hu Yiming woke up just as she had said.

Zhao Meilan looked at him nervously, only to realize that Hu Yiming was looking at her without the love he had for her before. Instead, his eyes were cold.

That made her gulp.

Although she had mentally prepared herself that this could happen, she still couldn’t accept it when it did.

“Meilan, I’m fine…” Hu Yiming said hoarsely, trying to comfort Zhao Meilan as he thought she was worried about him.

At that moment, his mind was in chaos. It was as if two people were fighting each other inside his head and cracking his head apart.

“Y -you still recognize me?” Zhao Meilan was shocked.

“Yes. You’re my wife,” Hu Yiming said while trying to endure the intense headache. “I’m not feeling good. Can I sleep first?”

“Are you hurting somewhere?” Zhao Meilan anxiously asked. “Chuchu, can you take a look at him?”

“I can’t do anything. He’ll have to endure this himself.” Zhao Chuchu looked at

Hu Yiming. The effect of the treatment was much better than she had expected.

Judging from his recovery speed, there was no need to wait ten days for his full recovery. Instead, it would only take about five days.

“Thank vou…” Hu Yiming thanked Zhao Chuchu.

“It wasn’t much for me. But will you be able to endure the pain? If you can’t, I can block all your five senses first. The only downside is that the treatment period will be longer.”

“It’s okay. I can endure this.” Hu Yiming refused.

Despite the chaos inside his head) he could still understand the situation and why he was in so much pain.

He didn’t have any energy to think about other things. All he wanted was to recover as fast as possible so that the people around him wouldn’t have to worry about him anymore.

“Meilan, can you give me some space? I need to be alone for a while…” Hu Yiming turned to Zhao Meilan.

The man in front of Zhao Meilan was like a complete stranger to her, and she had no idea what to do.

Yet, she also understood that this was something that she had to go through.

So, no matter the outcome, she was ready to accept it.

“Okay. Call me if you need anything. I’ll be outside.”

“Okay.”

Hu Yiming then closed his eyes.

Whenever he tried to move, it would feel like something was drilling into his head. Only lying still would ease the pain a little.

However, Zhao Meilan didn’t know about that and thought that Hu Yiming didn’t like her. So she left the room with a broken heart.

She tried to keep a calm expression before Zhao Chuchu so that the latter would not notice her reaction.

Unfortunately for her, Zhao Chuchu had already seen through it.

“Meilan, it’s not that he doesn’t want to talk to you. It’s just that he’s in too much pain right now. Don’t think too much about it, or you’ll just make things worse.” Zhao Chuchu patted Zhao Meilan’s shoulder. “He’ll ask you to be with him once he feels a little better.”

“You don’t have to comfort me. Whatever he chooses, I can accept it.”

“You silly girl. Don’t keep guessing what other people think. You’ll only hurt yourself like that.”

Zhao Meilan nodded, but Zhao Chuchu had no idea if she had heard her.

It was the type of situation where outsiders could not convince Zhao Meilan.

Only Hu Yiming could calm her down.

Since Zhao Meilan wasn’t in the mood to talk, Zhao Chuchu didn’t continue the conversation. Instead, she headed into the kitchen to help Xie Heng cook.

“Xia Songquan only has a few days more to live,” Xie Heng whispered. “Doctors think that he’ll only have 13 days at most.”

“So fast?” Zhao Chuchu was surprised. “So, are Xia Chengzhu and Xia Chenglan fighting now?

“They are.”

“That’s how it should be.”

“People from the Xia clan are hurrying over to our village now. They want you to save Xia Songquan.”

“Did I not scare them enough last time? So why would they still think I would do it?”

“They think that they can lure you with their inheritance.” “I would’ve fallen into their trap if I had taken those silvers.”

“This is their last option.”

If Zhao Chuchu really accepted money from the Xia clan, then it would mean that she had acknowledged that she was the granddaughter of Xia Songquan. Not only would she have to pay her respects to him, but Xia Chenglan would also become her mother.

The Xia clan’s plan showed how greedy they were.

“Well, whatever. Hu Yiming is recovering faster than I expected. The treatment should last five to seven days. So we’ll leave earlier, and they will realize they came all the way here for nothing.”

“Okay.”

What Zhao Chuchu meant was to stall the people from the Xia clan so that when they arrived at Lengshui Village, Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng would’ve already been gone.

The conversation then shifted from the Xia clan to Hu Yiming.

The thing that Xia Songquan did not expect was that the riches he possessed that every person was targeting would be meaningless to Zhao Chuchu, to the point where she felt like she was wasting time.

He tried all he could to prolong his life, but he didn’t realize that all he did was just expedite his death.
