Ava brewed the herbs for an hour and brought it over for Lance to drink.
He looked extremely weak, barely conscious when awakened, but feeling slightly better than before.
After a few hours, around noon, Xavier miraculously discovered that after taking just one bowl of herbs, Mr. Mercer's complexion had significantly improved, his spirits were very good, the fever had subsided, and he showed no signs of weakness whatsoever.
With just a few needles and a bowl of herbs, he had actually recovered a lot!
"Mr. Mercer, it's great to see you finally awake!"
Ava was also extremely surprised, just moments ago she had been doubting Miss Jones's acupuncture skills.
Curiously, she asked, "Mr. Mercer, do you feel unwell?"
Lance took a sip of water and shook his head, "No, I feel much lighter."
Due to his old ailment, he had always felt a suffocating sensation in his chest, but now that sensation had inexplicably dissipated, leaving him feeling unprecedentedly relaxed, he sighed deeply in relief.
Due to his recurring old ailment, he had sought help from Old Hughes several times before, and while his medicine was effective, it had never been this good.
He couldn't help but turn to Xavier and ask, "What medicine did I take this time? It's very effective."
"Mr. Mercer, I can't say for sure, the prescription is with Ava."
Looking around and noticing Old Hughes' absence, Lance added, "Where's Old Hughes? Wasn't it him who prescribed the medicine for me this time?"
Xavier was momentarily at a loss for how to answer, hesitated for a moment before replying, "Old Hughes is not at the pharmacy right now, he's out on business, he'll be back in a while. Mr. Mercer, this time it wasn't Old Hughes who treated you, and the medicine wasn't prescribed by him."
Lance was surprised, he hadn't expected there to be someone in the pharmacy with medical skills superior to Old Hughes?
"Then who prescribed it?"
