After about two hours, Angela finally opened the door to the ward.
She looked extremely exhausted, with beads of sweat on her forehead, leaning wearily against the wall.
Josephâs expression softened, and he asked gently. âHow is he?â
Angela lifted her eyelids slightly and glanced at Joseph. âJust hanging on. However, his body is severely depleted, and itâs impossible to administer just one round of acupuncture. I will need to administer injections continuously for the next six days.â
With that, she handed a prescription to Joseph. âPurchase these herbs and follow the instructions to prepare a medicinal bath for him. This will expedite his recovery.â

The Kins Family displayed resourcefulness by renting a small house near the hospital and facilitating herbal baths for Zacharias.
Joseph adjusted his glasses and informed Angela. âHe was briefly awake this morning, then drifted back to sleep. He lacks the strength to converse, only consuming a small amount of porridge.â
Angela nodded in understanding.
Over three consecutive days, Zachariasâ complexion noticeably improved.
Even the typically proud Joseph couldnât help but admire Angela for her expertise when witnessing this.
However, he remained puzzled about when Angela had acquired such proficiency in acupuncture.

She guessed that Jonathan might be working in the study room.
What could be so urgent in the middle of the night, especially in this cold weather?
She didnât want to disturb Jonathan. But ever since he came down from the mountain that day, he had been experiencing recurrent fevers. The slow recovery was also attributed to the fever and weakened immunity. With the cold weather, the recovery process would be even slower.

What if there were other underlying health issues?
With these thoughts in mind, Angela arrived at the study roomâs door. Because it was late at night, despite the house being large enough, Angela was hesitant to disturb the rest of the household, so she lightly knocked on the door.
âJonathan, are you there?â
There was no response from inside.
Perhaps her voice was oo soft.
She grabbed the doorknob, gently turned it, and the door opened.

He was dressed in dark blue silk pajamas, with faint traces of blood seeping from his arms.
Despite Angela calling out to him, he did not respond.
Angela quickly rolled up his sleeve and saw that the wounds on his arms, the ones he had sustained at the villa, had reopened.
The wounds had scabbed over.
Why have they reopened?
If it were accidental, a bit of reopening would be understandable. But every wound on Jonathanâs arm had reopened. If there werenât only the two of them here, she would have suspected foul play.
Jonathan, what are you doing?â Angela couldnât believe it. She quickly grabbed some tissue and began wiping away the blood.
Jonathan seemed to sense something, opening his eyes and looking at Angela. âItâs nothing. Donât worry.â
