Chapter 507: 502 This medicine is clearly sweet_1

Qi Qi’s father was stunned after hearing this.

Traditional Chinese medicine? That stuff is not only very bitter, but its effects are also slower to manifest.

It’s generally hard to see any improvement in a short period of time.

"Let’s try it, we have to do something anyway, can’t just watch and do nothing, right?"

He said this to Qi Qi’s father.

Qi Qi’s father nodded, "Then I’ll have to trouble Boss Gu."

He was now willing to do anything for his daughter.

Boss Gu said he had some traditional Chinese medicine, and whether it had any effect or not, he wanted to give it a careful try.

At that moment, Boss Gu turned his head and drove straight to his home.

On the way there, he stopped at a traditional Chinese medicine store.

He described the symptoms to the pharmacist.

Then he bought a lot of traditional Chinese medicine and especially bought a pot for it.

The reason for buying these things was simple—he wanted to prepare a pot of traditional Chinese medicine for Qi Qi.

Because he suddenly thought of something.

What if he were to boil the medicine with water from the Spiritual Spring? Would it have any effect?

Boss Gu felt that it might just work a miracle and produce extraordinary results!

With that thought, he decided to hurry and try it out.

After all, with the Spiritual Spring at hand, even if drinking it had no effect, it wouldn’t cause any harm.

That was Boss Gu’s reasoning; he felt fairly certain about it.

When he got home, he set up the small pot and put all the traditional Chinese medicine he had bought into it.

He started to transfer the Spiritual Spring water into the pot as quickly as possible.

Then he lit the fire and began to simmer it slowly.

This process was time-consuming—it wasn’t unusual to take at least half an hour, or even several hours.

In the past, it was common for the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine to take a whole day.

Boss Gu simmered it over low heat, as he was in no rush.

Tang Tang was there keeping Qi Qi company, so she probably didn’t find it boring either.

Under these circumstances, Boss Gu took nearly two full hours.

Only when the room was filled with the scent of the medicine did he pour it out of the pot.

He poured it into a small kettle, then hurried toward the hospital with it.

On the way to the hospital, Boss Gu worried that they might not have bowls and utensils there.

So, he also bought a set of silver bowls, utensils, and a soup spoon.

After arriving at the hospital, he saw Qi Qi chatting and laughing with Tang Tang.

Tang Tang was sharing amusing stories from kindergarten, which made Qi Qi laugh.

In the hospital room, Boss Gu handed the kettle of medicine to Qi Qi’s father.

"I was afraid you wouldn’t have the tools to prepare it here, so I boiled it at home."

"This is a new set of bowls and utensils," he explained.

After handing these items to Qi Qi’s father, he was very touched.

It was extremely time-consuming. It had been about two and a half hours since Boss Gu had left.

From this, it was evident just how long Boss Gu had spent preparing the traditional Chinese medicine.

"Tang Tang’s parent, I really appreciate all the trouble you’ve gone through," he said to Boss Gu, somewhat embarrassed.

After all, there was not even the slightest blood relation between him and Boss Gu, yet Boss Gu was making such wholehearted efforts. How could he not be moved?

"It’s no problem, I’m just doing my best. If I can help you, that makes me happy," Boss Gu shook his head.

This was hardly anything to him; what he was more curious about was whether Qi Qi’s illness could improve.

Because it was now apparent that Qi Qi’s physical condition was deteriorating.

More importantly, her hair had begun to thin out gradually, with a lot of it starting to fall out.

This was also a sign of leukemia; even her complexion would become very pale in the end, making her look as if she were a snowman.

Qi Qi’s father poured out a bowl of traditional medicine and then said to Qi Qi.

"Qi Qi, listen to dad, let’s take a sip," he told Qi Qi.

Qi Qi obediently opened her mouth, and after she took a sip of the medicine,

to her surprise, Qi Qi didn’t seem to find it bitter, but seemed rather astonished.

This left Qi Qi’s father bewildered, uncertain if it tasted good or bad.

"How does it taste?" Qi Qi’s father asked.

"It’s so sweet," Qi Qi replied.

After hearing this, Qi Qi’s father was a bit perplexed; the saying goes that good medicine tastes bitter, so how could it possibly be sweet?

"Sugar daddy, did you put sugar in this medicine?" he asked.

"Of course not, it might be because of a certain herb," Boss Gu shook his head.

He wasn’t foolish; adding sugar to traditional medicine would be a waste of effort.

He surmised that the sweetness was probably due to the water from the Spiritual Spring.

After all, this potion was made with water from the Spiritual Spring, which would certainly strengthen the body more than a month of running outside.

At that moment, Qi Qi’s father also took a sip himself.

The result was nearly disastrous; the sip nearly made him vomit out his breakfast from that morning.

"This is way too bitter!" His face nearly scrunched up together.

"How can it be so bitter? It’s clearly very sweet, Daddy, I want more," she continued to say to her father.

Qi Qi’s father felt helpless and then ladled out another spoonful, slowly feeding it to Qi Qi.

When Qi Qi drank it, she didn’t hesitate at all, and showed not even the slightest reaction on her face afterward.

It felt as if she wasn’t drinking medicine at all, but sweet water.

This left Qi Qi’s father utterly baffled, unable to understand why it tasted so bitter to him.

Just then, Sugar volunteered herself and said, "Can I try it?"

Then Qi Qi’s father gave Sugar a spoonful.

After curiously finishing her sip, Sugar nearly threw up on the spot.

"Oh my! Qi Qi, this is way too bitter, how can you even drink this?" Sugar looked at Qi Qi in shock.

Hearing Sugar say this, Qi Qi’s father realized that there was nothing wrong with his sense of taste.

"It’s clearly sweet, why are you all saying it’s bitter? Dad, I want more, it’s really good,"

she said to her father.

Qi Qi’s father was at a loss for what to do.

Because this situation seemed too outlandish to him.

Such bitter medicine, most kids would react like Sugar, eager to avoid it.

But Qi Qi was different; far from being finished, she seemed to gain momentum the more she drank.

She seemed as if she wished she could drink the whole pot.

One sip after another, she drank happily.

As Qi Qi’s father fed her, he felt as if he could taste the multitude of herbs tumbling around in her mouth.

He had never tasted anything as bitter as this in his life.

But Qi Qi drank it so well that she had no reaction at all, even wanting to drink more.

This left Qi Qi’s father feeling overwhelmed, with no choice but to keep feeding her.
