After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

I was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

It's only right that Jiang Yichen retaliates against me. Who told me to be so disrespectful and gentle with women in the past, and to beat and scold him all the time?

How could a few simple words possibly erase the resentment in his heart? Of course not.

I lowered my head and said no more.

Jiang Yichen seemed to sense something, and the pressure on his hand gradually dissipated.

……

I was very nervous as Dr. Li took Jiang Yichen's pulse.

Two minutes passed, and Dr. Li's expression grew increasingly serious. Finally, he let out a long sigh.

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly asked, "Dr. Li, how is his health?"

Dr. Li shook his head, and his answer was even less satisfactory.

"I have never seen such a poor body. His body is even worse than my old bones."

My body involuntarily trembled.

Is there really no other way?

Looking at Jiang Yichen, whose face was deathly pale, a wave of guilt surged into my chest.

I regret it so much! I tormented a perfectly good person like this.

Jiang Yichen's reaction was very calm, as if everything was within his expectations.

"His main problem is stomach issues, but he also has other health problems. It's a real headache with all these ailments piling up."

I felt increasingly uneasy.

I thought Jiang Yichen just had a stomach problem, but I didn't expect his health to be so poor.

Thinking about what I did in the past, I really want to slap myself hard.

Li, the TCM doctor, fixed his gaze on Jiang Yichen, looking as if he were giving him a reprimand.

"You're so young, and you don't even take care of your health. What will you do when you get old?"

Jiang Yichen remained silent and did not answer.

I, however, felt quite guilty listening to this.

"If you don't take good care of yourself now, you'll die young."

I immediately became alert, my eyes reddening with anxiety, and my voice trembling, "Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner Li, is there any hope for his health? Can it be restored? Please think of something..."

Jiang Yichen seemed surprised by my reaction, his gaze towards me filled with astonishment and complexity.

Li, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, said, "I will examine you more carefully in a while, and then I will give you a prescription. If you take my prescription, you will get better."

I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in agreement.

As long as there is a way to cure it, that is the best outcome.

"Excuse me."

Afterwards, Dr. Li took Jiang Yichen back to his home and gave him a thorough examination.

Based on his physical condition, Dr. Li prescribed a set of traditional Chinese medicine formulas and specifically instructed, "Come to me every two weeks so I can take your pulse and adjust the prescription in a timely manner."

Jiang Yichen agreed.

After leaving Li Zhongyi, I took the initiative to ask Jiang Yichen for help.

"Jiang Yichen, let me handle the dispensing and decocting of the medicine."

I caused all of this, and I should do something about it.

Jiang Yichen was surprised that I would take on this task, and his eyes showed a hint of surprise, but it quickly disappeared.

He said indifferently, "If you want to, then you can come."

I carefully put the prescription in my pocket.

The prescription contained several rare herbs, and I had to search almost the entire city of Tongcheng to gather all the herbs on the list.

In order to allow Jiang Yichen to rest properly, I would specially rush home from the company every noon to personally brew the medicine and then personally deliver it to the hospital.

Perhaps it was because the Chinese medicine was too bitter, but when he drank it, he always frowned so much that he could crush a fly.

I suddenly remembered that he used to love eating Desserts.

What's troubling me is that this kind of thing is simply unavailable in Tongcheng, and it's not even sold nationwide.

Previously, the Gu family would arrange for the goods to be airlifted back.

Now that I no longer have that condition, it has become a difficult thing.

Just when I was in a dilemma, my best friend said she was going on a trip in a few days, so I immediately swallowed my pride and begged her to bring some back from abroad for me.

I had to coax and plead with her for a long time before she finally agreed to help me buy it.

When she came back, she handed me a big bag of candy, not forgetting to make a couple of complaints.

"You're acting like a mother hen for Jiang Yichen now, and you still insist on having Daisy candy. You're really not afraid of trouble."

I laughed it off and quickly changed the subject, then grabbed my things and went to find Jiang Yichen.

I placed the whole bag of Descartes on the bedside table and explained to him honestly, "This is what you like to eat. You can eat this after you finish your medicine so it won't be bitter."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yichen's face darkened instantly.

I immediately realized something was wrong, but before I could ask, he spoke, his tone extremely cold, "This is what I hate the most. Take it away."

His sharp demeanor didn't seem like he was lying.

My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but press, "I clearly saw you eating that all the time before..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen's expression grew even darker. "That's because you used to punish me by not letting me eat, and I was really starving. These are things you didn't like and just threw at me."

The more I listened, the colder I felt; I had no idea about these things.

They were so naive as to think that Daisy Tang was Jiang Yichen's favorite.

The candy I went to so much trouble to have my best friend bring back has now become a complete joke, just like me.

I felt utterly exhausted and instinctively apologized to him again.

"I'm sorry, I'll buy you something else."

Jiang Yichen's gaze swept past me, as if he didn't care at all what I was saying, and then he fell silent.

I originally thought that I could use this small incident to ease the tension between us.

But I messed things up because I thought I was being clever.

Instead, it stirred up his unpleasant memories from the past.

He must hate me even more now.

Thinking about all this made me feel very frustrated.

After several days of effort, Jiang Yichen's health improved somewhat.

A few days later, I went to the Chinese medicine pharmacy again to get more medicine.

The shop assistant noticed that I was in a bad mood and asked instinctively, "Ms. Gu, what's wrong today? You seem a little unhappy."

I forced a smile, pretending nothing had happened.

"It's alright, but please help me get the medicine according to the previous prescription."

There's only one shop in Tongcheng that sells these medicinal herbs.

I came frequently, and over time I became familiar with the staff.

The shop assistant didn't ask too many questions and quickly packed the herbs and handed them to me.

When it was time to pay the bill, he was still smiling at me and offered to speak first.

“Miss Gu, you’re a regular customer here. I’ll give you a 5% discount every time you come.”

Hearing this, my previous depressed mood was greatly dispelled.

I took the medicine and quickly thanked him.

Although a 5% discount isn't much, saving a little money is good for me.

I'm really struggling financially right now, and I have very little money in my pocket.

For the past few months, I've been borrowing money from my best friend to pay for the medicine Jiang Yichen needs.

Soon, I finished brewing the medicine and personally delivered it to Jiang Yichen.

However, before I could even get close to the ward, I was blocked by someone...
