Shangguan Lan and Zhao Han stood beside their daughter, both of them staring at Mu Shen with tense expressions as he was carefully taking the child's pulse and performing various examinations.

Their hearts were in their throats, fearing that they would hear bad news.

Time seemed to stand still, and every second seemed particularly long for them.

Finally, Mu Shen completed all the inspections and gently placed the report in his hand on the table beside him.

Shangguan Lan and Zhao Han saw this and immediately rushed forward to ask, "Doctor Mu, how is my daughter's health? Can she be cured?"

Shangguan Lan's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of anxiety and worry.

The old Chinese doctor who had treated her daughter before told her in a serious tone that if she did not take good care of her daughter's body, her life span would be affected.

When Shangguan Lan heard the news, she felt like the sky was falling. She hugged her young daughter and cried for several days.

She blamed herself endlessly, believing it was all her fault that her daughter suffered so much. If she had been more decisive and firmly rejected Zhao Han, Qiao Xin wouldn't have come to cause trouble, and her daughter wouldn't have become so weak due to premature birth.

Just as Shangguan Lan was immersed in painful memories, Mu Shen spoke up: "It can be cured."

His tone was calm but held a reassuring strength.

Although he felt a little reluctant, thinking of what Leng Zexi had said to him, Mu Shen decided to help Ruoan in order to prevent him from blaming himself.

Mu Shen slowly stood up, walked to the desk, opened one of the drawers, and took out an exquisite antique wooden bottle.

The bottle is carved with exquisite patterns and exudes a faint fragrance.

Mu Shen handed the bottle to Shangguan Lan and instructed, "Take this medicine home and give the child one pill every seven days until all the medicine is finished."

"Is it okay after you finish eating?" Shangguan Lan looked at the man in front of him with suspicion, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

Mu Shen just shook his head and replied softly, "That's not the case."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the little girl who had little energy left, and he couldn't help but think of the three lively little ones in his sister's house.

"I'll write you a prescription later. Then, you just need to take the prescription to the pharmacy to get the Chinese medicine, boil it according to my instructions, and use it to give your child a medicinal bath."

"As long as you persevere, your child will gradually recover. However, don't always confine your child at home; encourage her to go out more often. After all, overprotection may not always be a good thing."

After Mu Shen pondered for a moment, he looked at the child helplessly and said slowly.

Hearing this, Shangguan Lan quickly nodded and said, "Okay, thank you very much! I just wonder how long it will take to see significant improvement after this treatment."

After saying that, she looked at Mu Shen expectantly.

Mu Shen thought for a moment, crossed his arms over his chest, and replied solemnly, "It's hard to say for sure. Since she suffers from a weakness she's had since her mother's womb, it will take a long time to heal."

"At the shortest, it will take about five years. If the situation is a little worse, it may take as long as seven or eight years."

"Every year from now on, I'll have to trouble you to bring your child here. I'll examine him and then adjust the herbal bath formula based on his specific condition."

Shangguan Lan and Zhao Han looked at each other, and gratitude was revealed in their eyes.

They knew very well that Mu Shen's words meant that he would take responsibility until the child fully recovered.

So, the two of them thanked Mu Shen again at the same time: "Thank you, thank you so much!"

"Doctor Mu, how much does this medicine cost? I'll transfer it to you now." Zhao Han asked as he carefully looked at the pills in the bottle in his hand.

He sniffed it gently and immediately detected the rich aroma of ginseng. He secretly guessed that this medicine might have been developed by Doctor Mu himself.

Mu Shen smiled and waved his hand, saying gently, "No need. Consider these medicines as a token of my appreciation to the children. Just take my prescription to the pharmacy to get the medicine."

As he spoke, he handed the prescription he had just written to Zhao Han and his wife.

"And I have deliberately avoided Chang'an's allergens in this prescription, so you can use it with confidence." Mu Shen added.

To be honest, this was the first time he had encountered a child like Chang'an who had so many allergens.

Fortunately, most of them are common medicines for replenishing qi and blood, and they are not likely to conflict with other substances on a daily basis. You just need to pay a little attention to your daily diet.

Zhao Han lowered his head and stared at the prescription in his hand. He couldn't help feeling grateful, but at the same time he felt a little sorry.

He raised his head and said to Mu Shen sincerely, "Doctor Mu, I can smell that this medicine seems to contain a lot of precious herbs like ginseng. Please give us a price, otherwise we really feel embarrassed to accept this generous gift for nothing!"

After all, they were already grateful that Mu Shen had taken the initiative to agree to treat their Chang'an. Now, they felt uneasy about having to accept such expensive medicine for no reason.

"You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about this, and I'm not the one you need to thank."

"The person I should really thank is actually my sister, Ruoan." Mu Shen looked at the two people in front of him seriously and explained slowly.

He continued, "Take it as an apology, given to you by me on behalf of Joan."

"Ruoan has always felt guilty about encouraging Qiao Xin to look for you. She always believes that if she hadn't done that, your child wouldn't have been hurt."

"So, I hope this gift can slightly alleviate her inner anxiety and guilt." After saying these words, Mu Shen turned his gaze to the two people in front of him again.

Seeing that the other party seemed to want to refuse and offer money in return, Mu Shen quickly waved his hand to refuse, saying that from the very beginning he decided to see them purely out of concern for his sister Ruoan, rather than any other material considerations.

Zhao Han and Shangguan Lan, who were standing by, had already understood Mu Shen's intention. He simply hoped that this method would prevent the couple from blaming Xia Ruoan.

When Shangguan Lan recalled his time with Xia Ruoan, his heart was filled with gratitude.

So, she smiled, looked at Mu Shen sincerely, and said, "Well, Dr. Mu, please be sure to convey a message to Miss Xia for me, telling her that I have never blamed her."

After all, everything that happened was just an accident.

After all, this was actually a completely unexpected accident! No one had anticipated this.

And through contact and observation, she could clearly feel that Miss Xia was really kind and gentle.

If she had known from the beginning that Zhao Han and Miss Xia were together, she would never have encouraged Qiao Xin to look for Zhao Han no matter what.

At this moment, Zhao Han cast his gaze towards his wife and lovely daughter with a guilty look on his face. "Doctor Mu," he said softly, "I've never blamed Ruo'an in the slightest."

"Because she had no prior knowledge of these things. Besides, this matter is ultimately my own fault and has nothing to do with Ruoan at all."

After saying this, Zhao Han couldn't help but lower his head deeply, as if trying to escape the disappointed looks from his family.

Hearing Zhao Han's sincere words, Dr. Mu nodded slightly, expressing his understanding and agreement, and then continued, "Okay, Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely convey what you said to Ruoan."

"Also, regarding this Chinese medicine, I recommend that you soak your child in it daily to maximize its effectiveness. Also, be extra careful when choosing Chinese medicinal herbs, and try to select only the highest quality."

"There's a pharmacy called 'Zhang's Pharmacy' that's a century-old establishment. Not only are their prices reasonable, but the quality of the herbs they sell is also highly guaranteed."

"So if you trust this store, you can go there to buy the Chinese medicinal herbs you need. Of course, if you have other more ideal choices in mind, that's totally fine too."

Following the direction of Dr. Mu's finger, Shangguan Lan saw the name of the pharmacy written on the paper - "Zhang's Pharmacy." She whispered the name, as if trying to recall if she had ever heard of it before.

At this time, Doctor Mu continued to introduce: "In addition to selling a variety of high-quality Chinese medicinal materials, this Zhang's Pharmacy also has a dedicated Chinese medicine doctor."

"This doctor's medical skills are quite good. Apart from other things, he can also take your pulse. So when you go to buy medicine, you might as well bring your child with you and ask the doctor to take your pulse and diagnose your condition, so that you can have a better idea of the situation."

As he spoke, Dr. Mu looked at Shangguan Lan and others with a smile, his eyes full of concern.

"Okay, thank you! We will go to this place to get medicine from now on." Zhao Han nodded with a smile, indicating that he fully agreed with this decision.

In fact, even if Mu Shen hadn't suggested it, he and his family would have chosen Zhang's Pharmacy without hesitation.

Because Zhang's Pharmacy is famous. Not only do they have superb medical skills, but most importantly, all the medicinal herbs they provide are wild, which is incomparable to those large-scale artificially cultivated products on the market.

Mu Shen stood quietly there, watching Zhao Han and others walk farther and farther away until they disappeared from his sight.

Then he took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Ruoan.

Ruoan's clear and pleasant voice soon came from the other end of the phone: "Brother?"
