he vegetables into their mouths, their eyes widened dramatically, leaving them dazed and sitting there in a trance as if they didn't even notice that their chopsticks had fallen to the ground. They we...Chapter 65 Sauna Herbal Bath

"Little Brother Xiao, please take a look and see if the herbs we've gathered are correct" The hospital had its own traditional Chinese medicine department. In no time at all someone brought over the herbs that Wan Hongguang had requested. He then handed them to Xiao Yu.

The bespectacled man was Wan Hongguang's secretary, Li Chuan. He had been on standby outside of the hospital, awaiting his boss' summons. When he suddenly received a phone call instructing him to purchase an old-fashioned charcoal-burning sauna, it puzzled him greatly. Although such equipment was hard to come by nowadays, as the secretary number one in the city, Li Chuan managed to find what Wan Hongguang wanted quite quickly.

After delivering it, he only then found out that it was this young man here who had made the order for it, and his boss was asking him questions about every single herb. Could it be that this young man was a doctor Li Chuan had been working under Wan Hongguang's command for more than two years now. He had been busy running around when treating Boss Wan’s daughter's illness, so he naturally knew the situation well. The youngest of the doctors they visited previously hadn't even been fifty yet, and this guy was so young; would that be okay

Although Song Shushan and his group also found Xiao Yu's request for a sauna puzzling, they didn’t ask him about it. If Xiao Yu wanted to explain anything, he would do so naturally. Right now if one were to question the doctor, then it was an obvious sign of doubt. Of course, the main reason being that they trusted Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu picked up each herb and studied them one by one. Occasionally, he took one in his hand and smelled its scent with his nose. After a while, Xiao Yu nodded his head, handing over the herbs to Wan Hongguang and saying, "Yes, fill the sand pot with five liters of water, throw these herbs inside! Let it soak for half an hour!"

Xiao Yu looked back at Zhao Jing and said, "Dr. Zhao, please take all the equipment off Miss Jia Yi."

Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Zhao Jing didn’t dare move a muscle. Although Wang Zi wasn't much to talk about, considering what he had told her of Xiao Yu's academic performance, she didn't think that would be wrong. If she were to remove all the wires and equipment from Jia Yi and an emergency occurred without her knowing it, she wouldn't be able to take responsibility for it.

Zhao Jing looked at Wan Hongguang. Seeing this, Wan Hongguang nodded his head at her and said, "Dr. Zhao, please do!"

"Secretary Wan, but…" Zhao Jing hurriedly replied.

Man Hongguang naturally understood Doctor Zhao Jing's concerns and interrupted her, saying: "Doctor Zhao, you can rest assured. No matter what happens, I won't hold you responsible!"

Hearing this, Zhao Jing realized that Man Hongguang was determined to rely on this young man. She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of charm this youth had used to gain such absolute trust from the mighty Secretary-General

Li Chuan saw that Man Hongguang believed in Xiao Yu so much that he was willing to risk his daughter’s life, which left him astounded. The way Li Chuan looked at Xiao Yu changed from scrutiny to admiration; one couldn’t afford to offend such a person.

Wang Zi watched the entire scene with cold eyes. Seeing Xiao Yu give commands in all directions made Wang Zi sneer inwardly. He was still so eager to show off just like when he was on the school basketball team, but society wasn't as forgiving as school—school allowed him to lose a game and promise to win next time; however, once he caused Secretary-General's daughter’s death, how could he still show off Then he would be showing off in prison instead! With this thought, Wang Zi felt his previously gloomy mood gradually lift. He imagined Xiao Yu sitting behind bars.

Half an hour later, everything was set. Xiao Yu said to the people inside: "Apart from Sister Ruo Ying, Aunt Wan and this nurse, everyone else should leave."

"If we all leave, how will you handle any issues with your level of skill" Wang Zi asked grumpily when he heard that they were considered uninvolved.

“Do you also plan to stay here while the patient is taking a shower” Xiao Yu looked at this former classmate without changing his expression. At present, Wang Zi was only relevant because of their bet and had become as distant as a stranger.

"You…." After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Wang Zi didn't say another word but left shamefacedly.

When Man Hongguang heard that they needed to give his daughter a bath, he and Song Shishan along with the other doctors stepped out as well.

After stepping outside, Zhao Jing walked into a corner and made a phone call. Soon after, she hung up the call.

Xiao Yu put the large sand pot, which had been soaking for half an hour with medicine inside, on a charcoal stove in the sauna room that was tent-like. Zhou Ruoying followed behind Xiao Yu and saw him place the sand pot on the stove. She knew this used to be where water was placed, and after it boiled, people would use the steam from there to take a sauna bath. However, now Xiao Yu had put medicine in it instead.

After placing the herbs, Xiao Yu said to Zhou Ruoying and others: "Once the water boils, put her inside and come find me in the outer room for acupuncture!"

In the outer living room, Wan Hongguang kept walking back and forth. Seeing Xiao Yu open the door and walk out, he asked: "Little Brother Xiao, how is it going"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly and said: "Not started yet!"

"Knock knock knock..."

A series of knocks were heard at the front door. Interrupting them was Zhao Jing who opened the door for an elderly man in his sixties with white hair, wearing a white coat indicating he was from the hospital.

The old doctor said to Zhao Jing after entering: "Director Zhao, what’s so urgent"

"Secretary Wan, this is our People's Hospital's Traditional Chinese Medicine Department Director Xu Yuejin. Director Xu has extensive experience; I still hope his prescription can be reviewed before we use it," Zhao Jing nodded at Xu Yuejin and turned to Wan Hongguang.

In Zhao Jing’s view, such a young man with poor academic performance was so confident in dealing with severe vegetative state patients that she subconsciously regarded Xiao Yu as a fraud. So after leaving the ward, without authorization, she invited Traditional Chinese Medicine Department Director Xu Yuejin to expose Xiao Yu's trickery.

Seeing Director Xu arrive, Wang Zi’s eyes lit up and he looked at Xiao Yu with schadenfreude. He thought to himself: Let's see how you manage things today.

Regarding Zhao Jing's unilateral decision, Wan Hongguang could not say anything either. After all, she was only doing what was best for her daughter. He cautiously glanced at Xiao Yu, who did not seem to mind and had no expression of displeasure on his face. Seeing this, he sighed with relief and said to Zhao Jing and Xu Yuejin, "Doctor Zhao, Doctor Xu, thank you for your kindness. I think we don’t need to look at the prescription; let’s just go ahead with it!"

"Little Brother Xiao, please trouble yourself!" Wan Hongguang sincerely told Xiao Yu.

At this moment, Song Hushan walked up to Xiao Yu and asked, "Brother, how long will Jia Yi take to wake up if you use your method"

Hearing Song Hushan's question, Wan Hongguang also perked up his ears. This was a problem he cared about as well; however, he worried that Xiao Yu might not want to answer and get angry instead. But there would be no issue if it came from Song Hushan since their relationship was better than his with Xiao Yu.

"Because her injuries are too severe, the cerebral cortex is severely damaged, and there's congestion in the cranial meridians. Therefore, it might take a longer period of time... " After some thought, Xiao Yu said, “If everything goes smoothly, she could wake up within half a month to one month at most. Of course, you should often talk to her about things that interest her and stimulate brain activity; this will be beneficial for her recovery.”

"One month is the longest" Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Wan Hongguang and Song Hushan subconsciously repeated what he said, then they were momentarily stunned. Their faces showed a mix of shock and disbelief—someone who was declared incurable in renowned hospitals and rehabilitation centers worldwide could actually recover within a month

Xiao Yu continued, "Regaining consciousness is just the first step since her cerebral cortex injuries are severe; she may experience other symptoms such as amnesia. You should be mentally prepared for this."

"As long as she can wake up! As long as she can wake up!" Wan Hongguang murmured excitedly. Initially, they had already braced themselves for the worst-case scenario, but now it was good enough if their daughter could regain consciousness; at least she wouldn't be lying there senselessly.

"Of course, this is just the worst-case estimate. Jia Yi is young and her cerebral cortex grows rapidly; there's a chance that everything might turn out fine! However, talking about further treatment now is too early. We’ll discuss it after she wakes up!" Xiao Yu said with a slight smile.

"Younger brother, the medicine has boiled!" Just then, Zhou Ruying’s voice was heard from inside the room...."Upon hearing these policemen's words, all members of the Ye family glared at them. The old man from the Ye family, who hadn't said much until now, was seething with anger when he saw his grandson...
