Chapter 534: Lin Shuwen’s Deep Regret

Lin Shuwen immediately felt worried and hurriedly explained. “Miss Huo, I thought that pills would be more effective than a decoction, so I gave Young Master Pei’s pills to Mr. Fang.”

Huo Yao smiled and shrugged. “That’s why I am telling you to seek treatment from him.”

Even though it was the same prescription, its effects would differ based on the way the medication was taken. Just like the difference between Chinese and Western medicine. Chinese medicine was all about consistency and long-term use while Western medicine focused on efficiency.

From the looks of it, Pei Rong wanted to show off his apothecary skills and ended up overlooking the basics of Chinese medicine.

Lin Shuwen was instantly left speechless.

He genuinely took Pei Rong’s offer because he was an intermediate apothecary. Since Pei Rong was truly talented, he had assumed that the pills would be fine. He had also asked Pei Rong whether it could be done before they changed the medicine from a decoction to pills.

Also, he requested for Huo Yao to examine Fang Chen to ensure that the pills worked. However, she unexpectedly detected his actions the moment she took Fang Chen’s pulse.

Fang Chen pulled his sleeves down and looked at Huo Yao. “I’m sorry. He was just trying to make sure I recovered ASAP, so he changed the medicine. Will this have major effects on me?”

Fang Chen noticed that even though Huo Yao questioned them about their actions, she did not mention any problems about it. That meant, the pills were probably okay.

Huo Yao did not embarrass Fang Chen. Instead, she said airily, “It doesn’t have serious side effects, but it will slow down your recovery.”

The moment she finished her sentence, Lin Shuwen looked at her in shock.

How could this be considered as a minor side effect if it had affected the speed of Fang Chen’s recovery?

They had deliberately concealed Fang Chen’s condition, so he had yet to show his face for days. If they kept this up, they would be in trouble.

Lin Shuwen felt somewhat regretful. If he did not give Fang Chen those pills, would Fang Chen be much better now?

Lin Shuwen asked cautiously with a serious look on his face. “If he takes a decoction now, would things improve?

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. “Do you think you can act frivolously when it comes to treatment?”

Lin Shuwen did not dare speak. However, he looked at Huo Yao with more respect.

After she checked Fang Chen’s pulse, she knew right away that they changed the medicine, so she was clearly a highly talented physician.

Lin Shuwen paused for a few seconds before he asked softly. “Then what should we do now?”

Huo Yao drummed her fingertips on her knee gently. She seemed nonchalant as she said nothing.

In an instant, an awkward silence filled the room before Fang Chen broke the silence. “How much?”

Huo Yao stopped tapping her fingers and turned to look at Lin Shuwen. “Pen and paper, please.”

Lin Shuwen was flabbergasted. “...”

Was that it?!

Lin Shuwen hurriedly retrieved a pen and notebook from his briefcase after he composed himself and handed it to Huo Yao.

Huo Yao wrote a few herbs, closed the notebook, and handed it to Lin Shuwen. She paused before she added. “Stop wasting your money from now on.”

Lin Shuwen went quiet.

Lin Shuwen lowered his head and looked at the consultation fees. It was 7 digits again...

Huo Yao stood up from the couch and looked at Fang Chen calmly. “I don’t care who you are. You are just my patient. Nothing else matters other than that.”
