On the day of her return to China, she was tied up and coaxed by the richest man to get her marriage

This scene deeply shocked An Ran, who felt as if she had been slapped in the face again, and this time it was even more severe than any previous slap!

At least before, she could find an excuse for Si Qing's special treatment of Yu Jinzhao.

what about now?

She had witnessed countless times how Master Si would lose his mind and become cold-blooded and ruthless when he had a fit, to the point that even Madam Si dared not get close to him.

Why was Yu Jinzhao able to break through his fortress time and time again?

They leaned on each other, as if they were separated into two worlds. They were from one world, while others could not join them and could only watch from afar in another world.

An Ran's lips trembled with anger, her eyes filled with bloodshot jealousy as she looked at Yu Jinzhao, wishing she could bore a hole through her.

Yu Jinzhao was completely unaware, focusing solely on giving Si Qing a massage. Her posture was elegant and composed, and her profile was fair and delicate under the light, as bright and beautiful as a summer day, captivating all who saw it.

Could it be that Master Si has taken a liking to Yu Jinzhao's handsome face...?

Dr. Li's words of advice were on the tip of his tongue when he suddenly stopped, stunned.

This was the first time that Master Si's headache had flared up, yet everything had turned out alright.

Si Qing buried his face in Yu Jinzhao's lower abdomen, his arms tightly wrapped around her waist, treating her as his only support, his breathing heavy and labored.

The man was ice-cold all over, but his breath was hot, each breath seeming to travel along her skin through her thin clothes, like an invisible caress.

Yu Jinzhao's waist and abdomen were numb from his grip. This extreme contrast of ice and fire once again dragged her thoughts back to that dark grove of trees three years ago...

The same scorching heat, the same tightening force, an inescapable net...

She was distracted, and her fingertips trembled involuntarily.

He pressed against her waist, his prominent Adam's apple against her sensitive lower abdomen, and with a muffled groan, his movements were quite noticeable.

Yu Jinzhao quickly calmed herself down and banished her nervousness. As a professional TCM doctor, she had to take the current treatment seriously.

Thinking this, she became more meticulous in her massage movements, her slender fingers methodically kneading his hair.

Dr. Li's gaze fell on Yu Jinzhao's hands as she massaged Si Qing, and he couldn't help but ask, "Mrs. Si, what are you doing?"

Yu Jinzhao lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting floral shadows beneath them. Her beautiful face radiated light, exuding nobility and composure. "Give him pain relief."

"Massage can relieve pain?" Dr. Li looked on in disbelief.

I've only ever heard of massage relieving fatigue, this is the first time I've heard of it relieving pain.

Dr. Li is a leading figure in the Western Medicine Research Institute, and his research reports are highly regarded online.

Yu Jinzhao respected every doctor who treated patients with dedication. The coldness in her eyes faded, and her gentle voice carried a hint of respect.

"Acupressure is an important part of Chinese medicine. It can stimulate specific acupoints on the human body, activate the Qi of the meridians, regulate functions, and eliminate pathogens while strengthening the body's resistance."

Dr. Li paused, pursed her lips with a complicated expression, and concealed the surprise in her eyes.

So Mrs. Si is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine; no wonder she speaks so absurdly.

An Ran gritted her teeth, gave a cold laugh, and whispered in Dr. Li's ear,

"Teacher, she is the quack doctor from the underground city who stole the credit for my treatment of Madam Si. Please help me expose her."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Li looked at Yu Jinzhao with slight displeasure.

However, he was only the Si family's doctor after all, and it was not appropriate for him to tell the master what to do. So he could only say to An Ran, "An Ran, go and feed Master Si his medicine."

An Ran took the medicine and had only taken two steps forward when Yu Jinzhao narrowed his fox-like eyes and coldly stopped her.

"You can't take this medicine."

An Ran was furious, her face contorted with rage.

"This is a painkiller I specially formulated for Mr. Si. It can restore his sanity immediately. Mrs. Si, please don't be unreasonable. Can you take responsibility if you delay Mr. Si's treatment?"

"Master Si is my husband, you don't need to worry about his illness."

Yu Jinzhao's eyes were like stars and frost, her icy gaze meeting An Ran's, chilling like a sharp sword, trying to pierce into her bones.

An Ran was so angry she couldn't speak. Was this bitch trying to assert her dominance over her?

It seems that the bitch is afraid that Master Si will recover after taking her medicine, so she directly exposes her true colors!

Dr. Li frowned deeply, his dissatisfaction growing even stronger.

As his assistant, it was only natural for An Ran to treat Si Qing's illness. This Mrs. Si was really being unreasonable. It's true that the thought process of someone who studies traditional Chinese medicine is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

He was about to speak to Yu Jinzhao to stop causing trouble.

At this moment, Madam Si, who had heard the commotion, rushed in with a pale face and cried out anxiously, "Chao Chao, how are you?"

Si Qing's episodes are terrifying; anyone who gets close to him in his manic state is doomed, even dogs passing by on the street will suffer.

Mrs. Si was very worried that her daughter-in-law would be abused. When she came over, she imagined some bloody scenes in her mind. She was trembling with every step she took, and her breath stopped the moment she entered the door.

To her surprise, when she looked closely into the room, there was no bloodshed or chaos as she had imagined. The room was quiet and peaceful, and the lights were on.

Her son, who becomes manic and unrecognizable when he has an episode, was holding his wife tightly, as if afraid someone would take her away from him, clinging to her so tightly that there was no room for anything else.

The sight of their intimate and affectionate gestures made Mrs. Si blush.

Is his son, who usually seems cold and unapproachable, really so warm and passionate inside?

For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating and that her son didn't seem to be having a relapse.

An Ran immediately pointed at Yu Jinzhao and complained, "Madam Si, my teacher and I wanted to give Master Si painkillers, but Madam Si wouldn't allow it. She insisted that massage could relieve the pain, which is absurd."

Madam Si blinked, and only when she got closer did she notice Si Qing's abnormal state. No wonder he acted this way. Fortunately, her daughter-in-law was safe and sound, and her heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled down.

Yu Jinzhao continued massaging, glanced at Madam Si, and spoke calmly.

"Mom, I took Master Si's pulse. His headache was caused by a complex toxin in his body, which should be the reason why he lost his memory in the accident."

Upon hearing this, Madam Si's eyes lit up, instantly brimming with boundless hope.

"Chaochao, you can see Aqing's illness, do you have a way to cure it?"

An Ran was taken aback. How could that bitch diagnose the illness in Master Si's body that she and her teacher had spent a month analyzing just by taking his pulse?

This is absolutely impossible!

It must have been something Madam Si mentioned casually that prompted Yu Jinzhao to bring it out and show off.

Dr. Li frowned, sharing the same thought as An Ran.

Mrs. Si doesn't believe in scientific Western medicine, but blindly trusts the fraudulent traditional Chinese medicine practitioners... It turns out that Mrs. Si was the one causing all this trouble.

No wonder such a beautiful girl chose bad things instead of good ones; she just wanted to gain Madam Si's favor through traditional Chinese medicine and thus climb up the social ladder to the Si family.

In an instant, Dr. Li felt a deep contempt for Mrs. Si.

Medicine is for saving lives; it is sacred and inviolable!

He despised anything that profited from the guise of healing.

Yu Jinzhao swallowed hard and slowly continued speaking.

"The toxins in Master Si's body have spread through his blood vessels and need to be eliminated little by little. His toxins are too potent; if he takes Western medicine, it will not only fail to alleviate the symptoms but will actually worsen the condition..."

An Ran, unable to bear it any longer, spoke up in a chilling tone.

"It's that same rhetoric again. Mrs. Si said the same thing to Yao Yao during the day, just to persuade Mrs. Si to use your so-called gentle traditional Chinese medicine to treat Mr. Si, isn't it?"

"shut up!"

Madam Si yanked An Ran away, her face full of impatience, and said without any politeness,

"Ms. An, my dog ​​has become quiet and docile after being spayed/neutered. I suggest you do the same."

An Ran choked and gasped for breath, her face instantly turning red with embarrassment.

Mrs. Si actually scolded her for barking like a dog.

Madam Si hurried to Yu Jinzhao's side, staring intently at her daughter-in-law, her eyes shining with anticipation as she awaited her to continue.

Yu Jinzhao felt warmed by her mother-in-law's complete trust. Her rose petal-like lips curved slightly upward as she massaged her while saying the rest of her words.

"Three years ago, Master Si regained his memory because some external stimulus broke through the toxins. He could have gradually recovered with gentle nourishment and conditioning... However, you gave him too many Western medicines. Unfortunately, the toxins in his body were too mixed. When they mixed with the toxins in the Western medicines, the situation became even more chaotic, causing the aftereffects of his headaches."

Mrs. Si's lips parted slightly, incredulous.

She was able to thoroughly analyze Si Qing's condition simply by taking his pulse.

This is different from her daughter-in-law diagnosing her with a poisonous insect Gu, since Gu is not considered an illness... Si Yao's cold during the day was also a minor ailment.

But Si Qing's pathology was truly complex... So many professional instruments were used for testing, but Yu Jinzhao's diagnostic skills were brought to their fullest extent.

At this moment, Madam Si was completely impressed by Yu Jinzhao's exquisite medical skills.

"Can it still be cured?" Madam Si asked expectantly and nervously, her gaze fixed on Si Qing, her eyes revealing complex and uncontrollable emotions, half heartache and half guilt.

Before Yu Jinzhao could answer, the man holding her slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes held a crimson hue, his pupils like a blood moon. Compared to before, it seemed to have eased somewhat, but the madness in his eyes remained undiminished.

Yu Jinzhao sensed something, lowered his eyes, and noticed that his lips were chapped, indicating that he must have sweated too much and was dehydrated.

She freed one hand, picked up the glass of cool boiled water from the bedside table, and brought it to his lips, gently coaxing him, "Drink some water."

The girl bent slightly, the ends of her hair brushing against his brows and tangling with his stray hairs.

A faint fragrance wafted towards him, mingling with her gentle voice, seemingly possessing a bewitching power that caused the madness in his eyes to freeze slightly.

Si Qing's throat went dry, so he bit down on the water glass and swallowed quickly.

This scene once again stunned Madam Si.

Her son was ill, so how could he still have thoughts?
