“Nanxing?” Jing Tian let go of me and looked at me in bewilderment. “Have you remembered something?”

I nodded slightly and then shook my head. “Just a little bit.”

Jing Tian patted my back. “It’s alright. Don’t be anxious. Take your time. The most important thing now is to get rid of the poison in your body.”

I looked at him and felt that there were many things between us. The gulf was too wide for either of us to cross over. This feeling made me very unhappy.

“What’s wrong?” He touched my head.

“Jing Tian, you’re my fiancé, right?” I asked him.

He smiled and nodded. “Yes, you’re the only lover in my life, the only one!”

“Will you still marry me?” I asked him.

“Of course!” He nodded.

“When?” I pressed him.

He was stunned for a moment. “Nanxing, what’s wrong? My agreement with your uncle was to marry you when you were 22 years old. Now that the time limit has passed, we can get married anytime.”

“Then, can we wait?” I looked into his eyes and asked him.

Jing Tian placed his hand on my head and stroked my hair gently, and he said gently, “Nanxing, you can do whatever you want. However, now that I’ve found you, I won’t let you go again. Do you understand? Take your time to recuperate and recover your memory. I will wait, even if it takes a lifetime. But I will not be separated from you again. You only need to know this.”

Every word of his was like sweet dew that fell on my desolate and dry heart.

I slowly extended my hand and wrapped it around his waist. “Thank you for waiting for me, but I still have some things to do. I want revenge. Plus, I don’t know how much longer I can live...”

He patted me heavily on my back and pulled me away to face him. “Silly girl! I’ll always wait for you!”

That was enough.

...

Master Xu checked my pulse again and prescribed some medicine. Since he couldn’t stay here for a long time, he and Mr. Li discussed the safest solution together.

Jing Tian lay on the bed. “Thank you, Master Xu!”

Master Xu didn’t like Jing Tian that much, but he walked to Jing Tian’s bedside and said unkindly, “Give me your hand.”

Jing Tian extended his hand with a smile. Master Xu took his pulse. Then, he gave Jing Tian a prescription as well. Jing Tian thanked him.

Master Xu snorted.

Jing Tian chuckled. He ordered, “Gao Da, send Master Xu back and arrange the matters of Master Xu’s hospital and school.”

“Yes!” Gao Da agreed.

“What hospital and school?” Master Xu turned around and questioned Jing Tian.

Lin Ran quickly said, “Master Xu, Jing Tian has pulled some strings to have your Chinese Medicine Center be attached to a medical school. In addition, he has invested in the establishment of a research institute. When you get back, you should have plenty of time to collaborate with the school to set up your own Chinese Medicine Research Center to cultivate future graduates and doctors in Chinese Medicine.”

Master Xu looked at Jing Tian in bewilderment.

Jing Tian nodded with a smile. “Master Xu, this is your lifelong wish, but it’s a pity that I can’t be of much help to you. You’ve been working hard for this goal for many years. You’ve prepared everything but lack the funding. It’s the least I could do.”

Master Xu’s expression changed.. He opened his mouth several times but didn’t say anything in the end.
