Lu Yunzhou shook his head. He didn’t feel any different.
"It’s alright. The pill must need some time to take effect. We’re not in a hurry."
Huo Yue Lan waved her hand, trying to say something to help Lu Yunzhou relax.
However, Yun Zijin, standing nearby, thought that Huo Yue Lan seemed even more nervous than Lu Yunzhou, the patient himself.
Lu Yunzhou nodded. In truth, he wasn’t convinced of the pill’s effects. If there really was such an effective miracle drug, he would have been given it back at the military hospital.
The fact that no one had given it to him proved they didn’t have it either.
Lu Yunzhou glanced at the couple showing off their affection by his bedside, feeling that the pill’s appearance was a little too coincidental.
But one was his younger brother and the other his future sister-in-law, so Lu Yunzhou could only suppress the seeds of doubt.
A long while passed. Ten minutes after Lu Yunzhou had taken the Nourishing Body Pill, he suddenly felt something. His legs, which had been completely numb since he’d woken up, were suddenly growing warm.
Even someone as stoic as Lu Yunzhou was startled.
"My... My legs..."
Huo Yue Lan, who was guarding Lu Yunzhou’s legs more closely than her own eyes, was jolted from her doze by his words and rushed to his side.
"What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
Huo Yue Lan looked nervous, but she didn’t know what to do.
"My legs... they suddenly feel warm, and a little itchy."
’Any sensation at all is a step in the right direction,’ Lu Yunzhou thought.
"Really?"
Huo Yue Lan’s face was filled with disbelief. If this was true, didn’t that mean the Nourishing Body Pill was actually that effective?
’He didn’t feel anything before just because the effects hadn’t kicked in. Now that they have, the results are showing!’
Lu Yunzhou nodded, indicating he wasn’t lying.
’How could I possibly joke about something like this?’
"Good! This is wonderful! Since it’s working, Mom will find a way. No matter what, I have to find that old traditional doctor your brother mentioned!
No matter how much he charges, I have to buy these Nourishing Body Pills!"
A rare resolve appeared in Huo Yue Lan’s eyes.
Watching Huo Yue Lan, Yun Zijin felt a twinge of apology. For a fleeting moment, she was tempted to tell her that she had more Nourishing Body Pills.
But the hesitation lasted only an instant. Yun Zijin quickly suppressed the emotion.
’Nothing is more important than my own safety.’
’Besides,’ she reasoned, ’the most important thing is that one Nourishing Body Pill has already done most of the work for his recovery. As long as he cooperates with his doctors from now on, it’s only a matter of time before he can stand again.’
Lu Yunque gave Yun Zijin a subtle glance and ultimately decided to keep the secret as well.
He knew that when it came to matters concerning Lu Yunzhou, Huo Yue Lan was currently irrational.
If she found out that the Nourishing Body Pills were in Yun Zijin’s possession, Lu Yunque was certain that Huo Yue Lan would absolutely come to Yun Zijin demanding them.
But leaving aside whether Yun Zijin even had any more pills, if Ms. Huo dared to demand them in the name of nursing Lu Yunzhou back to health, Lu Yunque felt he would be a dead man.
"Mom, he’s a low-profile miracle doctor. It’s not like we can just run into him every day.
