Si Qing drank the water Yu Jinzhao fed him as if he were drinking poison to quench his thirst. He drank too fast, and the water flowed down his jaw and into his chest from his collarbone.

His black silk shirt was soaked, sticking to his upper body and revealing the muscles of his chest and the shape of his thin, sexy abs, which rose and fell with his heavy breathing.

Well.

To be honest, Si Ye, who was suffering from an attack of his illness, did not look disheveled at all. Instead, he was more wild and alluring than usual, exuding a battle-worn sexual tension that made people want to pounce on him.

Food and sex are human nature, and Yu Jinzhao couldn't help but take another look. She pretended to be natural as she put away her water glass and wiped the sweat off his face and neck.

Seeing this side of Master Si so alluring for the first time, An Ran felt an overwhelming surge of jealousy, wishing she could be Yu Jinzhao in that moment...

She couldn't help but tilt her head, wanting to look further down...

Madam Si cried out in surprise, quickly blocking An Ran's view and grabbing the thin blanket from the bedside to wrap around Si Qing's wet upper body.

"These are all married men; they should be mindful of male virtues."

"..."

Yu Jinzhao couldn't help but chuckle, and then grabbed Si Qing's hand to feel his pulse. The pulse was slightly calmer than before, but only temporarily...

She said solemnly to Madam Si, "Mother, Master Si's illness can't be delayed any longer. I'll prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine for him to help him expel some toxins..."

My son's headaches are terrifying every time they flare up; he's like a wild animal, and we can only suppress them with sedatives.

This was the first time that, because his daughter-in-law was there, the massage alone helped his son retain some rationality during his attack...

Madam Si could see that Si Qing's condition had improved considerably compared to before. Considering how composed her daughter-in-law had been when treating her before, it was clear that her daughter-in-law was confident.

Madam Si suppressed her excitement and said firmly, "Alright, please prescribe the medicine. I'll have the housekeeper prepare it at the pharmacy right away."

Just as Yu Jinzhao was about to mention the prescription, Dr. Li angrily interrupted him, "Nonsense! Taking medicine is not child's play. Even with the same Western medicine, the effects cannot be mixed up. This is common sense!"

"Master Si has been taking Western medicine. Have you considered the potential adverse consequences of switching to traditional Chinese medicine due to excessive dosage or drug interactions?"

Yu Jinzhao said calmly,

"All I know is that if I keep giving Master Si Western medicine, he will completely develop bipolar disorder within three months and eventually become a vegetable!"

Dr. Li's face turned ashen. Did Mrs. Si mean to accuse him of harming Mr. Si by prescribing Western medicine for him?

How ridiculous that he was questioned about his abilities by a mere girl?

He let out a breath and laughed angrily, "Since Mrs. Si wants to debate with me, then I'll consider you my colleague. In the medical field, I'm your senior, so I'll give you a word of advice."

It's best to be down-to-earth when studying medicine. Don't try to make a profit by showing off or spouting lies, or you'll easily suffer the consequences!

Having practiced scientific medicine for over thirty years, I possess extensive experience and can confidently tell you that pseudoscience like Traditional Chinese Medicine is utter nonsense and has long since ceased to exist.

"Dr. Li, you're mistaken. If it weren't for traditional Chinese medicine, how would our ancestors have survived?" Yu Jinzhao smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down for five thousand years, which has given you the conditions to conduct scientific research and enjoy advanced medical equipment. Have you forgotten your roots?"

"You!" Dr. Li was speechless with anger. He was a Western medicine professor who had participated in various lectures and could answer questions from millions of people fluently. But at this moment, he didn't know how to refute her.

That little brat has quite the sharp tongue!

"I respect your Western medical philosophy, but please don't denigrate the contributions of traditional Chinese medicine to the world." Yu Jinzhao spoke of traditional Chinese medicine with pride in his tone and eyes, his spirits shining brightly.

Even when facing a renowned professor of Western medicine, he showed no fear; on the contrary, he exuded even greater confidence.

She clearly placed traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine on an equal footing, without feeling any shame, which made Dr. Li even angrier.

They've clearly been brainwashed by Traditional Chinese Medicine and are completely ignorant of their own limitations!

An Ran suddenly laughed, "What's the use of Mrs. Si saying all this? You believe in traditional Chinese medicine, but Mr. Si doesn't."

These words reminded Madam Si, and the excitement on her face gradually froze.

Just as she only trusts traditional Chinese medicine, Si Qing has also only believed in Western medicine since he developed headaches and has not accepted any other treatments from traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

An Ran's smile deepened as she looked at Yu Jinzhao provocatively, her gaze radiating arrogance, as if she were the only one who shared the same ideals as Master Si...

Yu Jinzhao remained calm, thinking to himself, "If Si Qing doesn't believe in traditional Chinese medicine, then he can only wait to die."

In any case, as a professional TCM doctor, she has fulfilled her medical ethics and has a clear conscience.

Knowing that Master Si wouldn't blindly follow Madam Si's lead, Dr. Li took the medicine from An Ran and brought it to Si Qing's lips.

"Master Si, please take your medicine."

Unexpectedly, Si Qingyang slapped Dr. Li's hand away, his eyes fixed on Yu Jinzhao. When he spoke, his breath was labored and his voice was hoarse.

"I'll listen to Mrs. Si."

Upon hearing this, Madam Si breathed a sigh of relief. Her son had indeed inherited her good judgment and made the right choice.

An Ran bit her lower lip tightly, her face filled with disbelief.

Dr. Li panicked, "Master Si, how could you be so confused? You can't just drink Chinese medicine like that, it could cause problems."

"You don't think Mrs. Si's massage stopped your attack, do you? You're sorely mistaken. Your headaches always flare up gradually, and we caught it early. You can recover by taking painkillers now..."

Si Qing narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, one hand still around Yu Jinzhao's waist, and with a little force, forced Yu Jinzhao to look down at him.

He looked up into her watery eyes, at her gentle face, and the image of her arrogant demeanor when she spoke sharply to Dr. Anran just now flashed through his mind. His dark pupils gradually blurred.

His prominent Adam's apple bobbed slightly; although he was looking at Yu Jinzhao, the words that came out of his mouth were an answer to Dr. Li.

"Something's happened. I'm going to have her buried with me."
