1494 Curing Chu Shijian frёewebnoѵēl.com
Wang Xiuying handed the antidote to Chu Liuxiang and said, "I'll give you the honor."
"Thank you…"
After accepting the antidote, Chu Liuxiang opened the seal and poured the pill into her grasp before offering it to Chu Shijian.
The pill was only the size of a fingernail but exuded an intense bitter smell.
"It's going to be very bitter." Wang Xiuying warned as Chu Shijian accepted the pill.
Without hesitation, Chu Shijian tossed the pill into his mouth and swallowed it with water.
The pill quickly dissolved, and Chu Shijian's face immediately twisted with disgust. It had the worst taste he'd ever experienced—both intensely strong and long-lasting.
"Fuck! Is this what drinking moldy milk would be like?!" Chu Shijian nearly puked but managed to keep it inside.
He looked at Wang Xiuying with teary eyes and a runny nose, and he couldn't help but wonder if she had actually poisoned him instead of curing him.
"That means the medicine is working." Wang Xiuying calmly said, and she continued, "You'll need to use the bathroom in a bit. Things might get a little… explosive."
Chu Shijian's eyes widened at her words, but before he could even open his mouth to respond, he felt a churning sensation in his stomach.
When he sensed a weird sensation from his rear, he immediately jumped out of bed and rushed outside.
"M-Master?!" Sebastian was shocked to see Chu Shijian out of bed and running when he could barely walk just hours ago.
"Looks like he'll be just fine." Wang Xiuying chuckled.
"Once again, thank you for saving my father…" Chu Liuxiang said to her.
Wang Xiuying casually waved her hand and said, "You don't need to thank me. I merely did the obvious and right thing."
"Still, I feel grateful to you."
"I-is the Master cured?" Sebastian asked as he entered the room.
"Yes, he's cured." Wang Xiuying nodded.
"Thank the heavens… Without him, the Chu Family wouldn't have survived another month, let alone another year."
An hour passed, but Chu Shijian had yet to return from the bathroom.
"How long do you think he'll spend inside the bathroom?" Chu Liuxiang asked.
"Hard to tell. It varies depending on how much poison was in his body. Considering his state, it'll probably take three to four hours before he finishes cleansing it out of his body."
"T-three to four hours?!" Chu Liuxiang did not expect it to last so long.
"Shall we come back tomorrow?" Yuan said.
"We should. He'll need to rest properly afterward, too." Wang Xiuying said.
"Then we'll come back tomorrow at noon," Yuan said to Sebastian.
"Very well. I will let the Master know once he returns."
Yuan left the Chu Family with the others shortly after, while Sebastian continued to wait for Chu Shijian's return.
Four and a half hours later, Chu Shijian returned to the room with a pale expression, but he looked much better overall than before he left for the bathroom.
