Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 4: Is It Sweet?

Chu Xia knew Cen Huai'an's physical condition and also knew that his current appearance was caused by the original owner and Wang Yulan.

Now that she was here, she had to bear all the consequences of the original owner's actions. So when Li Guanzhong scolded her, she showed a very good attitude by admitting her mistakes.

"I'm sorry, I was really confused before. Now I know I was wrong, so I brought him to see a doctor. Doctor, can his current condition be improved?"

Chu Xia looked worried and anxious, and Li Guanzhong nodded in approval, feeling that she had a motherly demeanor.

"It will require gradual adjustment. It's best to use medicated diets or drink mild traditional Chinese medicine. If the traditional medicine is too strong, it won't be good for his current condition. It might weaken him further. Making herbal medicine is a specialized skill, and good ingredients can be quite expensive. So, I recommend using mild traditional Chinese medicine. It may taste bitter, but I will explain how to prepare it, and you can do it at home."

Chu Xia nodded, showing that she trusted him. "Okay, Doctor, I will follow your advice."

After receiving the prescription,Chu Xia had Li Guanzhong check her pulse.

"Your health is even worse. How have you two, mother and son, been living?"

He sighed but didn't say much more. After all, patients had their privacy.

However, he explained more detailedly to Chu Xia, urging her to strictly follow the doctor's instructions, take her medication, and avoid overworking herself, as her body might not be able to last another year.

Upon hearing this, Cen Huai'an, who had no reaction to his own condition, immediately turned to look at Chu Xia, as if trying to determine if the doctor's words were true.

Chu Xia knew that everything Li Guanzhong said was true. She had indeed died from a severe illness a year later, and she herself had given herself this diagnosis.

With both prescriptions in hand, Chu Xia directly had the medicine prepared at the hospital.

This was the largest hospital in Liangzhou City, and unless it was an exceptionally rare and expensive herb, they could source all the other ingredients here. They even had a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy.

The herbal medicines prescribed by Li Guanzhong are all common Chinese medicinal materials, and they can achieve the best conditioning effect.

Expensive herbs were good, but they were not suitable for Chu Xia and Cen Huai'an's conditions.

Even if Chu Xia prepared the prescription herself, she couldn't match Li Guanzhong's expertise. He had been a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a lifetime, and the years she had spent learning in her past life were far from enough.

Furthermore, she had never treated traditional Chinese medicine cases herself. She had only learned from her grandfather while accompanying him during his medical consultations.

In addition to the herbs prescribed by Li Guanzhong, Chu Xia also bought some herbs that can be used to make medicated dishes. All of them were mild and neutral in nature, such as Codonopsis and Poria Cocos.

Cen Huai'an couldn't read, so he couldn't understand the prescription.

However, he became much quieter along the way. Different from the awkward silence before, he was not as resistant to the hospital as before.

Upon leaving the hospital, Chu Xia suddenly stopped and pulled Cen Huai'an to the side, asking him to open his mouth.

Cen Huai'an didn't open his mouth and even turned his head, trying to pull his arm away.
