Yun Zijin had already given them hope, and of course, they couldn’t let her down.
"Auntie Huo, try to look on the bright side. Maybe in two months, Big Brother will really be able to stand up."
Yun Zijin was confident in her pulse diagnosis. The Acupuncture Skill the system had given her happened to include a technique for treating paralysis caused by nerve damage.
As long as Lu Yunzhou listened to her carefully and cooperated with the treatment, there shouldn’t be any major issues.
"That’s right, Mom. You’re always assuming the worst. Aren’t you afraid you’ll jinx it?"
Lu Yunzhou said nothing. As the patient, he knew Huo Yue Lan was only thinking of the worst because she was overly worried about him. She was trying to figure out how to prepare fallback plans for him in case things went south.
"I understand. I won’t overthink it anymore."
Hearing Lu Yunque’s words, Huo Yue Lan felt a pang of fear. The last thing she wanted was for her negativity to cause Lu Yunzhou’s treatment to fail.
"What’s that smell?"
Huo Yue Lan stopped letting her imagination run wild, but in the next moment, she caught a whiff of something.
Yun Zijin looked toward Lu Yunque.
Lu Yunque spoke up. "It’s the medicine I’m brewing for my brother. Zijin prescribed it to be taken in conjunction with the acupuncture.
It just started boiling, so it still needs to simmer for a while."
Lu Yunque hadn’t forgotten Yun Zijin’s instructions: brew three bowls of water down to one, which would take some time.
"This medicinal smell is so strong. Zhouzhou won’t be able to rest, will he? I think we should find another place to brew it next time."
’Who knows when this smell will finally air out.’
’Drinking Chinese medicine is bitter enough, but now he has to smell it brewing every day, too.’ Huo Yue Lan’s gaze on Lu Yunzhou softened with even more sympathy.
"I remember I have a house nearby. Let’s use that place from now on."
Huo Yue Lan thought for a moment and finally recalled that she owned property nearby.
She had originally bought it in case a family member was admitted to the sanatorium, thinking a nearby property would make it convenient for everyone to take shifts watching over them.
She never expected that Lu Yunzhou would be the first one to use it.
Neither Lu Yunque nor Lu Yunzhou knew that Huo Yue Lan owned a house near the sanatorium. Ever since its construction, the surrounding properties had become incredibly scarce and highly sought-after.
Anyone who owned one or two units had successfully become a Dijing landlord or landlady.
Considering Dijing’s rental prices, it was impossible for them to be low. It was practically an overnight fortune.
"Mom, since when did you own a house here?"
Lu Yunque, ever the quick-tongued one, blurted out the question.
"I originally got it for your grandparents. You never know when the elderly might fall ill, so having a house next to the sanatorium would have made it convenient for us to take turns watching over them.
Who would have thought your brother would be the first to use it.
I’ll go home and get the key for you tonight. Zijin, would you like to come back to the old mansion with us?"
Lu Yunque and Yun Zijin both accepted Huo Yue Lan’s suggestion. The main reason for the trip was to get the key, and the smell of the brewing medicine was definitely too potent for a hospital room.
However, when it came to going to the Lu Family’s Old Mansion that evening, Yun Zijin declined, saying she had to discuss something with friends.
And with that, Yun Zijin’s acupuncture treatment for Lu Yunzhou was now officially sanctioned by the family.
Because she was helping Lu Yunzhou, the Lu Family began to hold Yun Zijin in much higher regard.
Yun Zijin arranged with Lu Yunzhou to come over every morning for his acupuncture session. As for brewing the medicine, that would depend on whether Lu Yunque was free.
