Chapter 290 is simply an attempt to keep her here.
When she went out for some exercise, the guard told her that there was actually a hot spring in the sanatorium!
Following the guard's directions, Du Ruoxia successfully found the hot spring pool.
No wonder she smelled a faint sulfurous odor when she came in. She didn't realize it at the time, but now she knows it was a hot spring.
Steam rose from the hot spring pool. Du Ruoxia reached out to test the water temperature. The water was slightly warm, but this was the most comfortable temperature for a bath.
The sanatorium is sparsely populated, and its security system is excellent.
Seeing that no one was around, Du Ruoxia took off her outer clothes and took a comfortable bath.
This hot spring is so comfortable; the chill of early spring quickly disappeared completely.
After taking a bath, Du Ruoxia felt refreshed and all her fatigue was gone.
She used to be in a hurry to go back, but now she suddenly feels a little reluctant to leave.
Living here, with this environment, this food, this hot spring, and not having to go back to take care of the kids, I really don't want to leave.
However, when he thought of Yang Zeyan's expectant eyes, he could only give up in the end.
The two were already reluctant to part before she even left.
If she had gotten back any later, they probably would have had to search the whole world for her.
Du Ruoxia slept exceptionally well that night after taking a shower.
It seems that I've become more sleepy since I got pregnant, and I often feel weak.
She had previously consulted medical books and learned that the symptoms of pregnancy in women can be quite varied.
These are her symptoms. As long as she eats well, sleeps well, and is well taken care of, the baby in her womb will grow up healthily.
Even with her exceptional medical skills, these conditions can only be managed, not completely cured.
Du Ruoxia closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Her mind was blank, and she soon sank into darkness.
The next morning, Du Ruoxia was woken up by knocking on the door.
She was still half asleep when she got up and opened the door, only to find that it was someone bringing her breakfast.
A large bowl of noodles with egg, lean meat, and vegetables, sprinkled with bright green scallions, has a rich aroma that keeps wafting into your nose; it looks quite tempting.
Du Ruoxia silently swallowed, instantly waking up from her drowsiness.
After washing up, she ate noodles and then began her treatment for the day.
I'm going to give Commander Li acupuncture this morning, and I've also bought the herbs from the prescription I got yesterday.
After the acupuncture was finished, Du Ruoxia opened the medicine and did a detailed examination to make sure there were no problems before letting the guard prepare the medicine.
After finishing his treatment, Commander Li became drowsy again. Du Ruoxia gave him detailed instructions on the timing and precautions for applying the medicine before going back to her room to rest.
The work here is relatively relaxed; there's only work to do in the mornings, and the afternoons are entirely my own time.
Every afternoon, Du Ruoxia would lock herself in her room to make medicine. When she needed to conduct experiments, she would lock the door and then quietly come to her space.
This place is very secluded and quiet, making it ideal for conducting experiments.
Many plants are grown here, and there are also many medicinal herbs in the yard. These herbs have never been harvested and have been there for many years.
Du Ruoxia wouldn't be polite; if there was anything useful, she would dig it up and use it herself.
The question is about treating Commander Li's illness, which requires various medicinal materials. We are currently in the medication preparation stage and need to conduct a lot of verification.
Du Ruoxia spoke with such conviction that no one could refute her.
A week passed quickly, and Commander Li's health improved at a visible rate.
Elderly people who used to be bedridden can now get out of bed on their own and even go out to move around.
He was pale and his face was covered with wrinkles, making him look very old.
Now his energy and spirit have recovered considerably, and he speaks with great vigor.
His transformation was so obvious that even the bodyguards who were with him and had no medical knowledge could see it.
This Dr. Du is indeed quite capable; she wasn't just talking, she really has the ability to save Commander Li.
If only she could stay here until Commander Li fully recovers!
But someone as talented as her is destined not to live for one person.
As she said, her purpose is to save lives, but not just any one person.
Commander Li was of a very high rank, and he made great contributions to the military and society.
But in the doctor's eyes, he was just an ordinary person.
On the morning of the seventh day, after giving Commander Li his final treatment, Du Ruoxia got up and began to collect the acupuncture needles.
Du Ruoxia deliberately moved slowly, actually waiting for Commander Li to bring up the matter with her personally.
Unexpectedly, even after she finished packing up, Commander Li was still lying on the hospital bed with his eyes slightly closed.
He seemed unaware that today was the last day of treatment, or perhaps he was deliberately pretending not to know.
In short, he didn't intend to speak, nor was he willing to let Du Ruoxia leave.
Du Ruoxia picked up the box and then turned around to speak.
"Commander Li, today is the last day of the agreed week of treatment. I'll go back to my room to pack my things in a bit, and I should leave this afternoon."
Since Commander Li refused to speak, Du Ruoxia decided to speak up herself.
Some things can't be fooled by pretending to be stupid.
Since a time has been agreed upon, we should of course stick to the previous agreement.
She has fulfilled her promise and done what she was supposed to do.
She will not hesitate when it is time to leave.
This is a matter of personal principles, and it is also the foundation upon which she stands.
Commander Li kept his eyes slightly closed and did not speak.
To make sure he heard her, Du Ruoxia had to repeat herself.
"Commander Li, I have fulfilled my promise, and I hope you will also keep your word."
"Whether you hear me now or not, I will leave on time this afternoon."
"Even if you don't find someone to take me back, it's okay, I'll find a way back myself."
After saying these words, Du Ruoxia picked up her medical kit and turned to leave.
Mayor Li quickly coughed a few times and took the initiative to ask her to stay.
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough!"
"Dr. Du, please wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
Du Ruoxia already knew that Commander Li was pretending. She stopped and turned around to look at him.
"Commander Li, I don't like people who beat around the bush. If you have something to say, say it as soon as possible, so as not to delay my return home this afternoon."
Du Ruoxia's words were rather harsh, and Commander Li couldn't help but cough a few more times.
He knew he couldn't keep up the act any longer, so he struggled to sit up in bed.
The guard quickly grabbed a pillow to support his back and helped him adjust to a comfortable position.
"Dr. Du, young man, don't get so angry. Please get a chair and sit down. Let's have an open and honest talk."
Du Ruoxia didn't really feel there was anything to talk about; it was just that Commander Li wanted to keep her here, but she disagreed.
Du Ruoxia already knew what Commander Li was thinking, but she still pulled up a chair and sat down, listening attentively to what Commander Li was saying.
