Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 376

“Yes.” Zephyr’s expression was grim with a light frown. “I didn’t tell Cordelia about this, so I hope you keep it under the radar as well…”

“What is it?”

“My leg injury… It’s starting to hurt recently.”

Seth was alarmed and wanted to take him for a proper checkup.

“That’s unnecessary.” Zephyr patted his shoulder. “It’s just an old injury. It didn’t come back in the past, but recently, the pain’s quite bad once the temperature drops.

“I remember that you gave me a type of medicine before. Half of it is to be ingested, and half of it is to be applied. It’s very effective… I’m here today to get more of that from you.”

Seth looked troubled and stammered for a good while without making any sense.

“What’s the matter?”

Zephyr was bemused. Was it that difficult for a doctor to prescribe medicine?

Seth looked at him, licked his lips, and finally said, “Zephyr, actually, I… I don’t know what kind of medicine it was.”

“What!?” Zephyr was astonished. “But you administered the medicine to me back then!”

“I did. But someone gave it to me!”

Zephyr was only more confused.

Seth sighed and spilled the beans.

“Zephyr, think about it. I graduated from medical college, but it hadn’t even been long since I was a doctor then. I hadn’t even performed surgery independently. How could I possibly heal you?

“I really wanted to, but my ability was limited… You were injured everywhere, and your infected wounds pulled up a fever. You were in such a critical state that I thought you were a goner. I thought you would be the first patient who died in my hands in my career…

“While I was troubled, an old man gave me that medicine and said that it’d heal you, so I—”

“Old man?” Zephyr perked up.

Seth nodded. “The reason I haven’t told you this before is that, one, I was sort of vain. No doctor is willing to admit that they can’t treat someone.

“Two, it’s… because the old man forbade me from telling you. He just gave me the medicine, told me the dosage and usage, and said nothing else, disallowing me from telling you too.”

Zephyr squinted, and doubts rose within him.
