Chapter 109: News Has Arrived for the Last Medicinal Herb

When serious matters were mentioned, Chi Shaokang visibly perked up.

He immediately nodded and said, "We received news today that the last ingredient has arrived. My men have already gone to find the person who has the herb. As long as the other party is willing to sell, we will have the herb in a few days."

Xia Yuhuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she immediately said, "That's great! This is really good news!"

During this time, she has been helping Chi Yanzhou to improve his health.

Chi Yanzhou originally had many hidden injuries and various unresolved health issues, but after her treatment over this period of time, they have all healed completely.

Physically speaking, he is extremely healthy.

Now, the only thing preventing Chi Yanzhou from waking up is the poison in his body.

The poison was very special, and the antidote required several rare medicinal herbs. Over the past few months, Chi Shaokang had been collecting the herbs according to the list she provided.

Now there's news about the last missing ingredient, which means Chi Yanzhou's awakening is just around the corner.

Zhang Xianya had clearly just heard the news, and was overjoyed upon hearing it.

"Xiao Huan, now that we have all the medicinal herbs, will we be able to detoxify Yan Zhou and wake him up?"

Zhang Xianya looked at Xia Yuhuan with a mixture of nervousness and excitement, and asked.

Xia Yuhuan nodded gently: "Mom, that's right. Once the medicine arrives, I promise I'll give you back a lively and energetic son."

"Great, great, this is wonderful!" Zhang Xianya exclaimed excitedly.

It wasn't just that Chi Yanzhou was excited about waking up.

He was even more excited, knowing his daughter-in-law was now his.

She was well aware of her son's excellence, and she believed that as long as her son and Xiao Huan had the opportunity to interact, they would definitely be attracted to each other and sparks would fly.

She truly loves Xia Yuhuan, her daughter-in-law, and wants to be family with her for life.

She had been worried that Chi Yanzhou wouldn't wake up, and even considered making a decision if he didn't. She even suggested that if Chi Yanzhou didn't wake up, she would arrange for them to divorce so that Xia Yuhuan could pursue her own happiness.

But now, she wants to delay and try to buy her son's time.

After all, if her son could keep Xia Yuhuan as his wife after waking up, it would be like she had gained another daughter, which would be perfect.

Seeing her happy, Xia Yuhuan was also happy.

The family of three chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they said goodnight to each other and went to their room to rest.

After Xia Yuhuan finished washing up, she shared the good news with Chi Yanzhou.

"Although we only have news of the last ingredient and haven't gotten our hands on it yet, I believe that the people Dad sent out will definitely find a way to retrieve the medicine."

"Once I get the medicine, I'll treat you, and you'll wake up soon."

"I just wonder what it will be like when you wake up?"

Chi Yanzhou is now in a vegetative state, lying in bed day after day, and she makes all the decisions.

But once Chi Yanzhou wakes up, he will be a person with independent thoughts, and it's hard to say what their relationship will be like then.

They are both people with independent thoughts, so it's perfectly normal for them to have friction when they get along. In the end, who knows who will give in to whom?

Xia Yuhuan felt a little anxious as she thought about it.

She wasn't a social butterfly, and the thought of having a husband, having to work hard to build a relationship with him, and having to spend the rest of her life with him made her a little anxious.

However, the thought of Chi Shaokang and Zhang Xianya eased her anxiety somewhat.

With such good parents, Chi Yanzhou must be just as good, right?

She had already decided that, even for her parents' sake, she would try to get to know Chi Yanzhou before deciding whether to get a divorce. She couldn't back down before he even woke up; that wasn't her style.

Xia Yuhuan calmed herself down before going to bed.

She fell asleep quickly, but poor Chi Yanzhou, who was stunned by the news, was now filled with excitement.

Are we finally going to collect all the medicinal herbs?

Will he finally wake up and see his wife?

Chi Yanzhou felt incredibly excited just thinking about it.

During this time, he had long since gotten used to Xia Yuhuan's presence, used to listening to her talk about what happened during the day, used to listening to her complain, used to her rolling into his arms while she was sleeping at night, and waking up in his arms in the morning.

He grew accustomed to everything she brought, and to her as a person.

During this time, she became etched into his very being.

In that unfamiliar moment when he had never spoken a word to her or even met her.

She inexplicably became the most familiar stranger to him.

He also wanted to keep them by his side and cherish them carefully.

Because of his excitement, Chi Yanzhou couldn't sleep for half the night. When Xia Yuhuan woke up the next day, she saw that his complexion was worse than the day before, and he was still a little dazed.

"Your complexion doesn't look too good. Hmm, let me take your pulse." Xia Yuhuan muttered as she took Chi Yanzhou's pulse.

"The pulse doesn't seem to be anything serious, so it's good that the person is alright."

After muttering to herself, Xia Yuhuan poured some spiritual spring water into Chi Yanzhou's bowl before getting up to wash.

When she came downstairs, Zhang Xianya and Chi Shaokang had already left, but He Xiaojie was at home.

Seeing Xia Yuhuan come downstairs, He Xiaojie ran up to her, grabbed her hand and shook it, looking incredibly cute.

Xia Yuhuan softened her expression and asked him, "Xiao Jie, what's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"

He Xiaojie nodded, then shook his head, and finally pulled her into the restaurant.

He pressed her down into a chair, and while Xia Yuhuan looked completely bewildered, he ran to the kitchen and brought her breakfast.

"Xiao Jie, slow down, let me do it, be careful not to bump yourself... ah..."

Aunt Wang was chasing after her, and as she was talking, He Xiaojie, who was carrying a bowl of porridge, lost her footing and fell. The bowl she was carrying shattered, startling her so much that she cried out in fright.

Seeing this, Xia Yuhuan quickly stepped forward and helped He Xiaojie up.

Aunt Wang said anxiously, "I told you not to carry it, I'd do it, why didn't you listen? Now you've broken it, the bowl is broken, and the porridge is spilled..."

He Xiaojie clearly knew he had done something wrong; his face was full of tension and fear, and his eyes were full of apprehension and worry.

He shrank back several steps, looking at Xia Yuhuan and Aunt Wang with a frightened expression.

Then he silently lowered his head, looking like a child who had done something wrong, waiting to be criticized.

Seeing this, Xia Yuhuan frowned and immediately interrupted Aunt Wang's rambling: "Aunt Wang, please stop talking."

"Could you please clean up the trash on the ground? I can handle Xiao Jie."

Seeing the hint of displeasure in her voice, Aunt Wang immediately fell silent: "Okay, I'll get ready right away."

Xia Yuhuan ignored her and stepped forward to take He Xiaojie's hand.

He Xiaojie shrank back in fear, but Xia Yuhuan held his hand firmly and didn't let go.

She crouched down, looked He Xiaojie in the eye, and asked him softly, "Xiaojie, did you hurt yourself when you fell? Did you bump your head anywhere? Did you burn your hand? Let Auntie take a look."

As they spoke, Xia Yuhuan quickly began examining He Xiaojie.

Fortunately, He Xiaojie fell face-first to the ground, and the bowl in his hand flew out and landed without burning him.

My hands and knees are a little red from the fall, but the skin isn't broken, so it doesn't look too serious.

"Thank goodness, no injuries. Thank goodness." Xia Yuhuan breathed a sigh of relief after the check-up, looking relieved.

He Xiaojie stared blankly at Xia Yuhuan, completely bewildered.

He broke the bowl, spilled the food, and caused trouble. Shouldn't she hate him?

Why are you still speaking to him so gently, showing concern for him, and checking if he's injured?
