In her past life, a treacherous man and a despicable woman conspired against her, leading her to a tragic end filled with hatred.
Only at the moment of death did she realize that her foolish ...
Jian Yixue nodded. She didn't want the old man to continue the topic either, as she was a little afraid that he might say something that would shock everyone.
"Grandpa, there's something I want to discuss with you and I'd like to hear your opinion."
"Oh? Is there something you want to discuss with Grandpa, Xue'er? Tell me."
The old man was immediately drawn to the topic and was eager to know what Jian Yixue wanted to say.
Zhou Yuxuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
My goodness, my sister-in-law is amazing! She made the old man forget about urging him to get married in an instant.
Butler Kim, who had just entered with the two, naturally noticed the exchange of glances between them.
Upon seeing Zhou Yuxuan's appearance, he immediately smiled. Rumors circulated that he was a womanizer, but unexpectedly, he was also afraid of being pressured to get married.
Over here, Jian Yixue looked at Old Master Ye with a serious expression: "Grandpa, I have developed the antidote pills for the toxins in your body. Yu Xuan and I have analyzed and tested the ingredients and quality, and they fully meet international pharmaceutical standards. Currently, I cannot find suitable candidates for clinical trials, which means that taking the pills carries a certain risk. Grandpa, you..."
"Okay, I'll take my medicine." Jian Yixue was interrupted by Old Master Ye before she could finish speaking.
Looking at the old man in front of her, Jian Yixue felt an indescribable sense of emotion.
How much trust must one have in another to entrust their life to someone else, especially since the old man knew nothing about her medical skills yet trusted her so much? She was somewhat flattered.
"Master, you mustn't!"
When Butler Jin heard Jian Yixue say that the antidote pill had been successfully developed, he was overjoyed. The young mistress had actually developed the antidote in such a short time. The master was saved. This was undoubtedly the master's only lifeline at the moment. He was extremely grateful to Jian Yixue.
But when he heard what came next, he became worried. Without clinical trials, wouldn't the old man become a guinea pig? Even though he didn't understand medicine, he knew about the uncontrollable risks involved, and he immediately spoke up to stop him.
"Alright, Old Jin. I believe Xue'er!" The old man spoke up, rejecting Butler Jin's explanation.
Butler Jin wanted to say something to Old Master Ye, but Zhou Yuxuan interrupted him, asking, "If he doesn't take the medicine, do you have any other better options? How much longer can the old man wait in his current condition? Every day he suffers from the toxins, his body will be further weakened, and these are irreversible. If it weren't for my sister-in-law, the old man would probably be lying in bed waiting to die by now."
Butler Jin turned pale with shock at Zhou Yuxuan's words.
Yes, he's a bit stubborn.
During this time, the old man was able to eat and drink well, which made me forget about his frail health.
The old man's health was not as good as before, and he had known this for a long time.
However, during this time, the young mistress was taking care of the master's illness, and the master's health improved a lot, which made him think that the master had recovered.
But Zhou Shao's words just now made him realize the reality: if the poison isn't cured, the old man's body will eventually break down.
Having figured out the reason, Butler Kim lowered his head and stood aside without saying a word.
Seeing this, Jian Yixue didn't say anything more.
Butler Jin and the old man had lived together for decades, and their friendship had long surpassed the typical master-servant relationship.
It was precisely because Butler Jin was overly worried about the old man that he became flustered.
Jian Yixue took out a small, exquisite, transparent glass bottle from her bag. Inside, three black pills lay quietly.
Jian Yixue handed the glass bottle to the old man, who took it without hesitation.
His gaze fell on Butler Jin, who nodded in response and walked to the table to pour a glass of water, which he then handed to Old Master Ye.
Jian Yixue, still uneasy, asked the old man again, "Grandpa, have you thought it through?"
Seeing Jian Yixue's worried expression, Old Master Ye comforted her, "Xue'er, Grandpa is already halfway to the grave, and I've long since become indifferent to life and death. Now that Mo Han has grown up, and with you, his virtuous wife, assisting him, I'm very at ease. Even if I were to descend to the afterlife, I would be able to give my wife and children a proper account."
"Grandpa, don't say such discouraging things."
"Okay, Grandpa won't say anything. Grandpa believes in Xue's medical skills and will definitely succeed. Grandpa is still waiting to hold his great-grandchild. Maybe I can even help you take care of the baby."
As he spoke, Old Master Ye jokingly remarked.
Jian Yixue blushed and called out shyly, "Grandpa."
"Alright, alright, Grandpa won't say anymore."
Jian Yixue verbally told the old man to stop talking, but in her mind she was thinking about who her child with Mo Han would resemble more. She thought it would be more like Ye Mo Han, so that she could look at a miniature version of Ye Mo Han every day.
Zhou Yuxuan, standing to the side, looked surprised.
Is this an attempt to induce childbirth?
Weren't we just feeling incredibly sad? How come the mood has changed so much in such a short time?
Meanwhile, the butler, Mr. Kim, had a smile on his face, imagining a childlike old man taking care of a little kid, a scene that was indescribably delightful.
After a while, Jian Yixue tried to clear her mind of all thoughts, took the glass bottle from the old man's phone, took out a pill and placed it in the old man's palm. She looked up at the old man with a serious expression and said, "Grandpa, take the three pills over three days. Just take one tonight."
Jian Yixue thought to herself that as long as she got through tonight safely, the next two days would be fine.
Grandpa Ye nodded, put the pill in his mouth, and swallowed it with water.
Butler Jin came over, took the old man's water glass, helped him lie down, and then stepped aside.
Jian Yixue and Zhou Yuxuan stood by the bed, carefully watching the changes in Old Master Ye, to ensure the old man's detoxification.
At first, the old man didn't feel anything in his body.
Not long after lying down, pain began to spread throughout his body. At first, he could endure it without changing his expression, but then the pain intensified, and the old man's expression gradually became painful. It felt as if his whole body was being bitten by thousands of snakes and ants. The pain made his face pale, his lips bloodless, and he was sweating profusely. He was in indescribable pain.
The butler, standing nearby, was very worried and wanted to ask.
Seeing that Jian Yixue and the other woman were intently observing the old man, he was afraid of disturbing them and affecting the old man's condition, so he could only stay aside and watch the old man with concern.
He didn't know how much time had passed; it felt like an eternity. Finally, he heard Jian Yixue speak.
"Grandpa, the next step is the critical moment for detoxification. The pain may be several times greater than before. You must persevere. Mo Han and I are waiting for you to hold our baby in the future."
Jian Yixue encouraged the old man, hoping he could pull through, and even came up with the excuse of holding the baby.
Grandpa Ye nodded dazedly. The pain had left him too weak to speak, and soon he was overwhelmed by the pain all over his body, clinging to life by sheer willpower.
