I Can Hear the Heart's Voice of Traditional Chinese Medicine-Chapter 366 - 156: Don’t Call Me Mayor, Call Me Uncle Ji_3
"The reason for staying isn’t because of that person. With Lu here, our presence isn’t essential."
"Then why do you insist on staying..."
Just as Zhang Jiwei started speaking, Zhang Jingcai interrupted him.
"I said it’s not because of that person. I want to observe Lu’s treatment process for that person, consider it a learning experience."
Zhang Jingcai was adamant about staying, and Zhang Jiwei couldn’t persuade him otherwise, so he let him be. However, he arranged a place for Zhang Jingcai to sleep and repeated the same reasoning to Huang Beishan. Huang Beishan’s reaction was much stronger, directly telling Zhang Jiwei to go cool off somewhere, leaving Zhang Jiwei a bit exasperated.
Although he was concerned about Huang Beishan’s health, Huang Beishan didn’t appreciate it at all.
Nonetheless, he knew this was just Huang Beishan’s nature and was used to it.
After Zhang Jiwei arranged everyone, Lu Xuan had already administered the second round of traditional medicine to Ji Huan.
With the second dose taken, observing Ji Huan’s improving condition, Zhang Jiwei’s anxious heart calmed down somewhat. According to the current situation, using Lu Xuan’s treatment plan, Ji Huan is highly likely to escape danger.
However, vigilance should not be relaxed yet. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
After the third dose was finished, it was already past one in the morning.
In the special care ward, only Zhang Jiwei, Zheng Xianjue, and two nurses were keeping watch.
Lu Xuan, Huang Beishan, and Zhang Jingcai hurried back to the herbal medicine room to continue preparing medicine.
Despite it being past one in the morning, Huang Beishan, who was nearly seventy years old, was surprisingly energetic and didn’t seem exhausted from staying up late, making Lu Xuan astonished.
At such an advanced age, staying up so late and still being energetic can only be attributed to Huang Beishan’s good health maintenance.
Not just Huang Beishan, Zhang Jingcai was in similar condition, not much different from Lu Xuan, who was in his twenties.
"Aren’t you going to rest for a bit?"
"You have appointments at United South Chinese Medicine Association after seven today."
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but advise.
"You have appointments too?"
Huang Beishan smiled and said, "And you’re the one doing the life-saving work. Old Zhang and I occasionally need to consult with you. Speaking of tired, you’re more worn out than either of us."
"I don’t necessarily have patients registered to see me tomorrow. I might just nap a bit in the consultation room. But it’s different for you two with over a hundred patients a day and hardly any time to rest at noon. If you don’t rest now, I’m worried you won’t have the energy tomorrow and might make mistakes during the consultations. That might harm your reputation more than fatigue."
Lu Xuan mentioned reputation, which genuinely startled the two.
Whether it was Huang Beishan or Zhang Jingcai, after reaching a certain age, money wasn’t much of a drive. But they were very protective of their reputations, considering this, they finally heeded Lu Xuan’s advice and got up to rest.
With that, Lu Xuan was left alone in the herbal medicine room.
Zhang Jiwei had also prepared a bed here, but with the large dose of Aconite being brewed, Lu Xuan dared not to rest. If anything went wrong, re-brewing would take too long, and Ji Huan couldn’t wait that long.
With nothing else to do, Lu Xuan took out a medical book he had brought from the pharmacy and began reading.
Two hours passed by in reading.
Lu Xuan poured out the medicinal liquid and went directly to the special care ward to administer it to Ji Huan.
Once the second dose was completely consumed, Ji Huan gradually fell asleep. Lu Xuan glanced at Zhang Jiwei and Zheng Xianjue, who were resting on the floor outside the special care ward, checked the time, and sent a text to Zhang Jingcai that he might be late arriving at United South Chinese Medicine Association for consultations, asking him to inform them.
Afterward, Lu Xuan yawned and fell asleep directly.
Across from him, Ji Huan’s secretary Jiang Shengliang was already fast asleep, exhausted after a day’s ordeal, snoring loudly.
A while later, Lu Xuan suddenly felt someone touch him and, unable to resist, opened his eyes to find Ji Huan sitting on the hospital bed smiling at him.
"Mayor Ji, you’re awake?"
Seeing Ji Huan awake, Lu Xuan quickly reacted, about to check Ji Huan’s physical condition, when Ji Huan pretended to be upset and said, "Don’t call me Mayor, call me Uncle Ji."
Uncle Ji?
At the door, Zhang Jiwei and Zheng Xianjue, who were just about to knock, froze with their raised arms in mid-air.
