Jin Tong had to admit, "Your mother certainly lived a very happy life."
She could also sense the happiness within this home.
Jiang Nuan did not pursue the topic further.
"Pull up your clothes."
Jin Tong watched the silver needles in her hand, all submerged in a porcelain bottle. She pulled her clothes up.
"Do you study Traditional Chinese Medicine?" Jin Tong asked.
Jiang Nuan pulled her clothes up a bit more and said, "What I study is not important, but I can cure you. At the very least, before it worsens, you won't have to suffer."
Jin Tong lay quietly without moving. Ever since she saw Jiang Nuan save that little girl, she had absolute faith in Jiang Nuan's medical skills.
Jiang Nuan handed her a pill, "Take this."
Jin Tong did not hesitate and took the pill.
Only then did Jiang Nuan begin the acupuncture.
As the needles went in, Jin Tong felt a sour, bloated sensation in her stomach, accompanied by some pain.
However, it was still within her tolerance.
She wanted to speak, but seeing Jiang Nuan seemingly in her own world, as if separated from her, she dared not speak.
Half an hour later, Jiang Nuan's forehead was covered in sweat.
She withdrew the needles and said, "You will stay here for the next ten days. I will perform acupuncture on you daily. Within half a month, you will be cured."
After speaking, Jiang Nuan picked up her medical kit and stood up, her voice devoid of any warmth, "Close your eyes and rest. You will sleep until tomorrow morning. You cannot eat anything tonight."
Jin Tong looked at her nervously, "Why do I have to sleep until tomorrow morning?"
Jiang Nuan explained, "This is a sleep therapy. It allows you to avoid the torment of hunger. When you wake up, your illness will be more than half cured."
Jiang Nuan left after speaking.
Jin Tong felt a moment of confusion, but her eyelids grew heavier.
Jiang Nuan's receding figure began to blur.
Jiang Nuan put away her medical kit and went downstairs.
She felt the atmosphere in the living room was strange.
Everyone sat quietly, without any conversation.
Hearing Jiang Nuan's footsteps, the old lady quickly asked, "Where is your aunt? Why are you the only one who came down?"
Jiang Nuan replied, "She needs to rest and will only wake up tomorrow morning."
"Tomorrow morning?" The old lady was worried but had no choice but to trust Jiang Nuan.
She stood up and looked at Jin Yan, "I'm tired, I'm going to bed."
Jin Yan looked at Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiu Chen and said, "Nuan Nuan, Xiao Jiu, take the children back to rest. You can come back tomorrow morning."
Jiang Nuan replied, "Okay!"
Mu Jiu Chen took the three of them, mother and children, back to their house in the city.
Jiang Siyun liked smaller homes; this place was very cozy, and she liked it very much.
Jiang Siyun looked at her mother, who looked exhausted, and said, "Mommy, you should go rest. Your brother and I will wash up and go to bed ourselves. You look so tired."
Jiang Nuan was indeed very tired. She felt her health was deteriorating.
"Mm! Rest early!" Jiang Nuan stood up to wash up.
Mu Jiu Chen watched her retreating back with a heart full of concern.
Mu Jiu Chen sent the children to their respective rooms to rest and poured a cup of hot water, carrying it in.
When Jiang Nuan came out after washing up, he handed her the hot water.
"Wife, drink some water."
Jiang Nuan took the water and smiled, "Thank you, husband!"
Mu Jiu Chen then handed her a bag beside him and said gently, "A gift for you."
"Oh!" Jiang Nuan was very surprised.
She put down the cup, took the bag, and took out the white dress inside.
From the feel of the fabric, she knew it was incredibly valuable.
"It's so beautiful!" Jiang Nuan happily looked at Mu Jiu Chen, "Thank you, husband. Receiving a gift from my husband is the greatest happiness."
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her beaming face and felt she was truly happy.
She was a person easily satisfied. From a simple meal to a piece of clothing, she could beam with joy, and her happiness was exceptionally beautiful!
Mu Jiu Chen couldn't help but embrace her and whispered in her ear, "Wife, I love you!"
Jiang Nuan looked at him with a bit of surprise. His eyes were filled with affection, and his gentle demeanor was like the bright moon in the sky.
"Did you do something you regret?"
Mu Jiu Chen was momentarily surprised and looked at her with confusion, "Why do you say that?"
Mu Jiu Chen didn't understand her implication. Did his face betray him as someone who had done something bad?
Or had he done something he himself didn't know about?
Mu Jiu Chen's heart suddenly tensed.
He could lose billions without batting an eye, but if his wife frowned, he became anxious.
Jiang Nuan looked at his bewildered state and couldn't help but remind him, "You're giving me gifts and saying sweet things to make me happy. Isn't it because you've done something wrong?"
"As long as you are honest, I will forgive you!" Jiang Nuan had a look of "I won't hold it against you."
Mu Jiu Chen frowned. How could she, who was usually so optimistic, think this way?
"What kind of thinking is that? I just want to give you gifts and say sweet words. We both have reserved personalities, but I want to love you more and let you feel my uniqueness every day."
And then, never give you a chance to look at other men again.
"So that's how it is. Husband, I misunderstood you." Jiang Nuan smiled and placed the dress on the nearby single sofa. "I'll wear it for you tomorrow."
She really wanted to sleep.
Mu Jiu Chen knew she was sleepy and pulled back the covers for her to lie down.
Jiang Nuan fell asleep soon after lying down.
Looking at her slender figure, the pity in his heart made his heart ache with a thousand tiny pains.
Mu Jiu Chen watched her fall asleep so quickly, feeling both heartache and worry about her health.
He went out, saw the children were asleep, and went to his study to call Song Baoli.
Song Baoli was also asleep. When he wasn't attending to patients, he went to bed early; he would never stay up late.
"Hello!" The voice answering the phone still held a hint of sleepiness.
Mu Jiu Chen asked, "Doctor Song, can I ask you a question?"
Song Baoli's drowsiness immediately vanished, "Ask away."
Mu Jiu Chen inquired, "Nuan Nuan has been very sleepy lately, almost falling asleep as soon as she hits the pillow. Did you not find any issues when you examined her last time?"
Song Baoli responded with silence.
"You're calling me in the middle of the night just to ask about this?"
Mu Jiu Chen had only one thought: his wife absolutely could not be in trouble.
"Jiang Nuan is my life. Even if it's the early hours, I would still call you."
Song Baoli felt Mu Jiu Chen was overreacting. But then again, he cared about Jiang Nuan, which was why he was so concerned about her health.
Song Baoli explained, "Jiang Nuan has been continuously injured for over a year. She has her own medicine to repair her body. Her frequent drowsiness now signifies that her body has entered a self-healing phase. Once she gets enough sleep, her body will recover. Just don't let her get injured again. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to have a second child."
Mu Jiu Chen was speechless.
"I understand. Sorry for disturbing you. Go back to sleep." Mu Jiu Chen hung up after speaking.
Song Baoli's words were still trustworthy.
...
The next morning, Jiang Nuan was woken up by her phone.
The phone vibrated non-stop. She couldn't open her eyes and fumbled to answer the call.
"Hello!" www.daxiaofang.com
On the other end, her mother's anxious voice came through, "Nuan Nuan, hurry and come over. Your aunt has had an accident."
