Chapter 376 - Awakening

It wasn’t long before they returned to the medicine shop and went up to the second floor.

Upon reaching the second floor, Chen Yang noticed that Teacher Li was still sitting by Mrs.

Li’s bedside, staring at her.

“Teacher Li hasn’t slept all night; he has been sitting there just like this.”

At that moment, Wang Jingman spoke up from the side as if she had guessed what was on Chen Yang’s mind.

“It’s only normal for Teacher Li to sit through the night, so eager for Mrs.

Li to wake up,” she said.

As he spoke, Chen Yang took out his mobile phone to check the time.

It was ten minutes past seven, just twenty minutes left until the final dose of medicine was ready.

Then it could be administered to Mrs.

Li, and she would awaken.

“Teacher Li, come over and have some breakfast.

After breakfast, Mrs.

Li can have her medicine,” Chen Yang said, putting away his phone.

Teacher Li, who had been staring blankly by the bed, turned around upon hearing Chen Yang’s voice and walked straight over to sit opposite Chen Yang.

Tiredness was written all over Teacher Li’s face, a result of a sleepless night.

Chen Yang took out the steamed buns he had just bought and placed them on the table; then the three of them ate silently, in tacit agreement.

After finishing the steamed buns, Teacher Li stared intently at his watch.

As soon as it was seven-thirty, without any prompt from Chen Yang, he hurried downstairs to turn off the stove and poured out the medicine.

Then he hurried back upstairs.

“Yang Zi, the medicine is ready.

Is there anything else we need to do?” Teacher Li asked eagerly.

Chen Yang took the medicine, sniffed it carefully to be sure there was nothing wrong, and replied, “No, there’s no need.

Just feed it directly to Mrs.

Li, and that will do.”

Having said that, Chen Yang handed the bowl full of medicine back to Teacher Li.

Seeing Chen Yang nod, Teacher Li was so excited he trembled.

Yet the hand holding the bowl was exceedingly steady and careful,

as though he feared a careless move would shatter it.

“This is wonderful, she is about to wake up,” he said.

With an emotional voice choked with excitement, Teacher Li carefully began to feed Mrs.

Li the medicine.

Teacher Li wasn’t the only one excited as he administered the medicine.

Wang Jingman, standing to the side, was so stirred that she clenched her fists tightly, even lowering her breathing.

She watched intently, eager to see any reaction from Mrs.

Li drinking the medicine.

Soon, the bowl of medicine was empty.

But there was no reaction whatsoever from Mrs.

Li.

Taken aback, Teacher Li looked questioningly at Chen Yang with a face full of doubts.

Wang Jingman also looked at Chen Yang with a puzzled expression.

“What’s going on, Chen Yang?

Why hasn’t Mrs.

Li awakened yet?” Wang Jingman asked, staring expectantly at Chen Yang for an answer.

With both of them looking at him this way, Chen Yang didn’t show the slightest hint of panic.

“She just took the medicine; it’s not possible to see an immediate reaction.

Just wait a little while, and it will be fine,” he said calmly.

No sooner had Chen Yang finished speaking than Mrs.

Li’s fingers trembled slightly.

This movement was subtle, yet Teacher Li, sitting at the bedside, noticed it!

“She moved!

She moved!

My wife moved!” Teacher Li exclaimed excitedly in a low roar.

Upon hearing this, both Wang Jingman and Chen Yang rushed forward and indeed saw Mrs.

Li’s little finger twitching slightly.

Though the movement was slight, it sent a wave of exultation through all three of them!

Teacher Li was beside himself with excitement, scooping Mrs.

Li up into his arms as she lay flat.

“My darling, you’re finally waking up!

I have waited for this day for so many years,” he roared with excitement.

Chen Yang, seeing this turn of events, quickly stepped forward to intervene.

“Teacher Li, Mrs.

Li’s body is recovering and awakening; don’t get too excited, it’s not good for her health,” Chen Yang said, which immediately calmed Teacher Li down.

He promptly restrained himself and then gently released Mrs.

Li.

“Right, right, my wife is just recovering and waking up; we can’t be like this,” he agreed.

Doctor Li restrained himself.

Afterward, his gaze shifted, and he showered Chen Yang with gratitude.

No matter how much he had thanked Chen Yang before, and trusted him, there had always been a concern in his heart before Chen Yang truly cured the illness.

But now that the cure was evident, Doctor Li no longer had any concerns.

He offered Chen Yang heartfelt thanks.

Chen Yang naturally declined them all, saying it wasn’t necessary; in his eyes, Doctor Li was a senior colleague, and he couldn’t accept such thanks.

Wang Jingman, standing by, also felt somewhat uneasy, and after comforting Doctor Li for a while, he managed to calm down.

Chen Yang spent the entire morning without leaving the pharmacy.

And as the morning passed, Doctor Li’s wife had officially woken up.

She could open her eyes and communicate, but she was somewhat slow and couldn’t speak.

This was normal.

If Doctor Li’s wife, who had been comatose for so many years, were to wake up jumping around, that would have been strange.

“Doctor Li, your wife has fully awakened now, and the rest will gradually improve.

I’ll write you another prescription to help regulate her body.

I believe it won’t be long before she is completely cured,”

Chen Yang said with a smile.

Doctor Li was endlessly grateful to Chen Yang.

“Good, thank you, Yang Zi.

I won’t say much more about my gratitude.

Just remember one thing—if there’s ever anything you need, you can come to me any time, and I’ll do everything I can to help you,”

Doctor Li promised firmly.

“Mm-hmm, I understand.”

Chen Yang didn’t reject this form of gratitude from Doctor Li.

At this time, Wang Jingman brought over paper and a pen, and Chen Yang directly wrote out a prescription.

The prescription was also from the “Medicine King’s Canon,” albeit a rather simple one,

it was a formula for regulating the body, so there was no need for Chen Yang to instruct Doctor Li on what to do.

Having run a traditional Chinese medicine shop for so many years, Doctor Li certainly had the common knowledge.

“The prescription is right here.

Remember to administer it to your wife once a day.

I have some other matters to attend to today, so I’ll take my leave now.

I’ll come to visit you and your wife another day.”

After leaving the prescription behind, Chen Yang did not wish to stay any longer.

He indicated his intention to leave directly.

Seeing that Chen Yang was about to leave, Doctor Li wanted to detain him for a bit longer, but then he thought that Chen Yang had already spent the whole morning there.

He certainly had his own matters to attend to.

So, he did not insist.

Instead, he looked toward Wang Jingman.

“Jingman, please take care of Yang Zi for me.

I don’t feel like going out today.”

Doctor Li wanted to stay home with his wife now that she had awakened—Chen Yang completely understood this desire.

Wang Jingman felt the same way.

“I will, Teacher,”

Wang Jingman nodded, then followed Chen Yang down the stairs, arriving at the entrance of the pharmacy.

Chen Yang had initially wanted to leave directly, but Wang Jingman took the initiative to extend an invitation.

“Chen Yang, it’s noon.

How about we have a meal together?

On behalf of Teacher Li, I would like to properly thank you.”

Chen Yang’s claim of being busy was just an excuse, as he actually didn’t have much else to do afterward.

Now that Wang Jingman had offered an invitation, Chen Yang naturally wouldn’t refuse.

“Sure, let’s have a meal then.

I’m quite hungry anyway,”

Chen Yang accepted with a smile.

Upon seeing Chen Yang agree, Wang Jingman also smiled.

“Then great, let’s take my car and go have a meal,”

Wang Jingman said as she picked up her bag and walked out of the pharmacy, with Chen Yang by her side.

Then, not far from the pharmacy, they got into Wang Jingman’s car.

Wang Jingman’s car was also a luxury vehicle, and moreover, it was a two-seater sports sedan.

This surprised Chen Yang.

Li Han and Yang Ruoxi didn’t drive this kind of car, so why did Wang Jingman, a doctor, drive such a car?

It seemed she was yet another woman with a complicated background.
