Chapter 336: It hurts so much to be slapped in the face!
Hearing this, Zelda sighed, "I also want to thank her properly, but she didn't even leave her name, and I don't know which hotel she's staying at. In this vast sea of people, it'll probably be hard to find her."
Tina narrowed her eyes. "I'll figure that out. By the way, sis, do you remember what that female warrior looked like? If you saw her again, would you recognize her?"
“Of course I recognize her!” Zelda continued, “The heroine is very beautiful, a stunning oriental beauty.”
Jiang Ning has a very distinctive appearance, and although it was only a brief encounter, she left a deep impression on Zelda.
"Let's talk about it after I get off work. I'll figure out a way to help you find the heroine."
“Okay.” Zelda nodded.

Lane Castle.
After Jiang Ning left, Mrs. Lane personally prepared the medicine according to the prescription and brought it to Brock.
In this situation, Mrs. Lane doesn't trust anyone.
She only felt at ease when she did it herself.
Brock is lying in bed and is currently unable to swallow on his own, requiring the assistance of instruments.
When Celia returned, Mrs. Lane was feeding Brock his medicine.
"mom."
Mrs. Lane turned to look at Celia, "Did you send Miss Shi back?"
“It’s already been sent back,” Cyria nodded.
Mrs. Lane placed the medicine bowl on the table. "If Miss Shi can cure your third brother this time, she will be a great benefactor to our family! In the meantime, try to find out if Miss Shi has any wishes she wants to fulfill."
Qian Jiangning has no shortage of money.
She has no shortage of fame and fortune.
Therefore, Mrs. Lane wanted to repay Jiang Ning in a different way.
“Okay, Mom.” Celia said with a smile, “You’re not usually one to easily trust others, so why are you so trusting of Sheng Bao this time?”
This surprised Cyria.
Mrs. Lane continued, "She can be trusted because she diagnosed your third brother's illness with just two needles."
It was Jiang Ning who made Mrs. Lane experience the wonders of traditional Chinese medicine.
Before meeting Jiang Ning, she also thought that traditional Chinese medicine was a backward concept.
She only found out after meeting Jiang Ning.
How deep was her misunderstanding of traditional Chinese medicine before!
time flies.
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Mrs. Lane continues to personally prepare the medicine and feed it to Brock these days.
The third night.
Mrs. Lane had just brought the medicine over and was about to feed it to Brock.
Brock, who was lying in bed, opened his eyes.
"Brock!"
When Mrs. Lane saw her son wake up, she thought she was hallucinating.
Brock looked weak and looked at Mrs. Lane, "Mom."
Mrs. Lane's eyes instantly reddened, and she quickly grasped Brock's hand, placing it beside her cheek. "Brock, you've finally woken up! Miss Shi truly is a miracle doctor!"
Hot tears fell into Brock's palm.
Brock forced a smile. "Mom, I'm much better now, please don't cry."
Although Brock was unable to open his eyes during the days he was in a coma, he remained conscious.
He heard all of Jiang Ning's diagnosis three days ago.
I originally thought Jiang Ning was just bragging.
I thought he would never wake up again in his lifetime.
did not expect.
He suddenly woke up!
Mrs. Lane nodded and wiped away her tears.
Brock continued, "Mom, I want to sit up for a while."
Upon hearing this, Brock immediately stacked two pillows together and helped Brock sit up from the bed, leaning against the pillows.
After sitting for a while, the medicine in the bowl had cooled down considerably.
Mrs. Lane picked up the bowl, preparing to feed Brock his medicine.
"Pfft!" Just then, Brock suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Mrs. Lane was terrified and quickly grabbed tissues to wipe the blood from Brock's wounds. "Brock! Are you alright?"
Before Mrs. Lane could finish wiping the blood from the corner of Brock's mouth, he spat out another mouthful of blood.
His face turned deathly pale.
It looks extremely horrifying!
“Brock! Brock!” Mrs. Lane screamed.
Brock couldn't utter a single word, and blood kept gushing from his mouth.
The servants inside the castle were instantly thrown into a flurry of activity.
Hearing the noise, Celia ran over. "Mom! What happened?"
"Your third brother," Mrs. Lane's voice trembled with tears upon hearing her daughter's voice, "your third brother, your third brother vomited blood!"
"Mom, don't worry, I'll contact Shengbao right away!"
Xilia immediately took out her phone and contacted Jiang Ning.
One of the servants took advantage of the chaos to leave Brock's room and go to the bathroom to call Lance.
"Mr. Lance! Something terrible has happened!"
Upon hearing this, Lance on the other end of the phone immediately stood up from his office chair. "Speak quickly!"
The maid covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "You're absolutely right! The head of the Brock family just vomited blood! A lot of it, the bed and the floor are covered in his blood. He looks like a dead man, his face is all white!"
Lance had said before that Brock's body would definitely have problems within three days.
Today is the third day!
Hearing the maid's words, Lance was overjoyed. "Really? You saw it clearly?"
“Yes, I saw it clearly!” the maid added. “Mrs. Ryan was so frightened she cried, and even Miss Ryan was quite frightened.”
Lance narrowed his eyes, a smug look flashing in them. He knew Jiang Ning wouldn't make it!
This is not!
There was a problem with the deadline he had budgeted.
It's obvious that Mrs. Lane is now regretting not listening to him three days ago.
Lance suppressed his inner elation. "Alright, I understand. You'd better find a way to leave Ryan Castle quickly! Don't let anyone find out."
That's right.
This servant was the one Lance arranged to be stationed at Lane Castle.
This is so that we can understand Broc's symptoms in a timely manner.
Now that he knew Brock's symptoms were deteriorating rapidly as he had expected, the servants naturally had no reason to stay in the castle any longer.
"Yes, Mr. Lance."
After hanging up the phone, Lance whistled happily.
Next.
All we have to do is wait for Mrs. Lane to come and beg him in person!
Ryan Mansion.
Xilia had already contacted Jiang Ning. After listening to Jiang Ning's words, Xilia breathed a sigh of relief. She hung up the phone and went into the bedroom. "Mom, don't worry. I just contacted Shengbao. She said that vomiting blood is a normal phenomenon. Third Brother is vomiting blood, which is actually a way of detoxifying."
"Shengbao also said that Third Brother is recovering very well. He took his medicine on time tonight and will be able to walk on the ground tomorrow morning."
Mrs. Lane looked at Celia, "Miss Shi, did you really say that?"
“Really.” Cyril nodded.
Hearing this, Mrs. Lane breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the blood off Brock's face, and looked at the butler beside her, "Quickly go and bring the medicine from the kitchen."
The medicine was all spilled in the chaos.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Mrs. Lane always prepared two batches of medicine each time she made it.
Leo looked troubled and couldn't help but remind Mrs. Lane, "Madam, do you remember what Mr. Lance said?"
Before Mrs. Lane could speak, Leo continued, "Today happens to be the third day Mr. Lance mentioned. What a coincidence that the head of the family will vomit blood tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lane turned pale.
Cyril quickly added, "Perhaps it's just a coincidence! Mom, you can't let Lance's words influence you. Getting Third Brother to take his medicine is the most important thing right now!"
Mrs. Lane is very confused right now.
She believed in Jiang Ning!
But...why!
Why is it such a coincidence?
Why did Brock vomit blood today of all days?
Mrs. Lane looked at Leo, "Send someone to invite Lance over right now!"
“Okay!” Leo immediately walked towards the door.
“Mom!” Celia frowned slightly. “Shengbao said that Third Brother will wake up as long as he takes his medicine tonight! How could you send someone to invite that quack doctor Lance?”
Mrs. Lane's eyes were red. "What if Brock doesn't wake up tomorrow morning? Celia, we can't afford to gamble!"
If we bring Lance over now, there might still be hope for Brock.
What if Brock falls into a deep sleep and never wakes up if you give him medicine directly?
Seria raised her hand and pressed her temples. She knew her mother's personality; persuasion was useless at times like this!
It seems...
We'll have to use other methods.
Seria narrowed her eyes and, taking advantage of Mrs. Ryan's inattention, delivered a karate chop to Mrs. Ryan's neck.
Mrs. Lane's vision went black, and she fainted.
"I'm sorry, Mom. You'll understand by tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Celia looked at the maid in the room and said, "Go and bring me the medicine from the kitchen!"
The maid looked troubled.
Cyriya immediately pulled out a pistol from her waist and pressed it against the servant's head. "Go now! If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!"
The maid was terrified, her face turning pale. She knew Cyria's personality and that she was capable of anything. "I'll go! I'll go!"
A few minutes later, the maid brought the medicine from the kitchen.
Celia took the medicine and carefully fed it to Brok.
the other side.
The butler arrived at Lance's residence.
“Mr. Lance, Mrs. Lane requests your presence.”
Lance glanced at the butler. "I've said it before, there's everything in this world except a second chance. If you want me to treat Brock, Mrs. Lane has to come in person! Otherwise, forget it!"
Mrs. Lane dismissed him as soon as she said she would.
Now they're sending a bodyguard, hoping to get him to treat Brock?
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
The butler sighed, "Mr. Lance, things are in complete chaos at Lane Castle! Our lady simply cannot spare the time to personally invite you. The head of the Brock family is on the verge of death. Please, please come with me."
Lance rubbed his temples. "Excuse me, I'm sleepy. Fayed, see him out!"
Upon hearing this, Feide, Lance's assistant, immediately gestured to the butler to "please".
The housekeeper was forced to leave.
After locking the butler out, Fey returned to Lance's office.
"Have they left yet?" Lance asked.
Fei Yide shook his head, "Not yet, they said they'll wait until you go back with him."
Lance narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then let him wait!"
Here at Lane Castle.
After taking the medicine, Brock felt as if he were lying in bed having a very long dream.
In a dream.
As the ice and snow melted and all things came back to life, the warm sun broke through the thick clouds at dawn and shone on him.
It made him feel warm and cozy all over.
Very comfortable.
He hadn't felt this relaxed and comfortable in a long time.
Finally, what woke Brock was Mrs. Lane's angry scolding.
"Sirius! Do you know what you've done?! You secretly fed Brock medicine! Are you trying to kill your third brother?!"
"Mom, please trust Shengbao this once. She's a miracle doctor, she won't let us down."
Mrs. Lane raised her hand, about to make a move, when Brock's voice came from behind her.
"mom!"
Mrs. Lane, with her back to the bed, thought she was hallucinating when she heard this.
Xilia was facing the bed. Her eyes widened, and she cried tears of joy, "Mom! Third Brother is awake!"
Mrs. Lane turned around immediately.
That's what I saw.
Brock had managed to sit up in bed on his own.
“Mom, I’m fine now. Celia was right, Miss Shi is a miracle doctor,” Brock said with a smile.
Mrs. Lane rushed over, hugged Brock, and burst into tears, crying, "Brock! Brock!"
Brock continued, "Mom, I'm hungry."
He really wants to eat something right now!
Mrs. Lane then realized that her son was really better, and quickly instructed the maid to prepare food.
Then she turned to look at Celia, "Celia, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have scolded you! And I shouldn't have doubted Miss Shi!"
fortunately.
Fortunately, my daughter was there last night.
Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
--
After receiving a call informing him that Brock had woken up, the butler standing guard at the entrance of the Reims villa immediately got into his car.
Lance, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watched the butler get into the car and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
It's obvious without even thinking that the butler must have gone back to fetch Mrs. Ryan!
Next.
Then it was Mrs. Lane's turn to come and beg him in person.
About ten minutes later.
Fei Yi rushed in from outside, "Mr. Lance, Mr. Lance, something terrible has happened at Ryan Castle!"
Something terrible has happened?
Lance looked at Fey and said with a smile, "Is it Mrs. Ryan? Tell her to wait outside and that I haven't gotten up yet."
He wouldn't easily forgive Mrs. Lane, much less go back to Lane Castle with her.
Fyde immediately shook his head, "It's not Mrs. Lane who's here, it's... it's the head of the Block family who's woken up!"
