Even though Madam Lu instantly felt a lot better after taking the medicine prescribed by Fu Zhi, she did not hold out too much hope about it, as she thought it was purely a placebo.
As she had expected, when Lu Jingqing arrived with Lu Yushen at night, she vomited blood again. This time, she even started getting diarrhea.
She did not show any signs of improvement.
Bai Yao was both appalled and delighted upon seeing Madam Luâs condition. She pointed at Lu Jingqing and shouted, âThis is all your daughterâs doing! If anything happens to mom, say goodbye to your inheritance rights!â
Lu Jingqing raised his head and shot a glance at Bai Yao. He stared at her with a dark expression etched on his face as he said coldly, âCareful how you speak, sister-in-law. Momâs still awake, and no one knows what her physical condition is like better than her. Since she wants to take Zhizhiâs medicine, we should respect her decision.â
âJingqingâs right. I felt much better after taking Zhizhiâs medicine,â Madam Lu chimed in. Before this, sheâd felt as suffocated as if there was a huge boulder weighing on her chest since she had vomited blood. However, right now, she did not feel as terrible anymore, and the boulder on her chest had disappeared as well. That being said, she still thought she was going to die soon.
The Lu Familyâs eldest son and grandson were on a business trip in other provinces, so they could not make it back in time. Bai Yao and Lu Chuwan did not dare say anything more. They just stayed by Madam Luâs side and took care of her.
Madam Lu had vomited blood too many times. Her body was getting weaker with every passing second, and she reckoned that she would not last much longer.
Therefore, she sent everyone out, leaving only Xu Wei and her lawyer in the room.
Then, she said, âMy days are numbered. Jingqingâs elder brother is not as capable as Jingqing and Jingyuan, so Iâll leave half of the company to him. The other half Iâm going to donate in my name.
âI know youâre a good girl, so promise me, Xu Wei. Jingqing does not trust his brother, so promise me you will always get him to help his brother after I die.â
Xu Wei did not have any concept of money, but she knew Madam Lu was more inclined toward Lu Jingwen and his family.
She kept her head low and did not respond. Suddenly, Madam Lu grabbed her hand and added, âThanks to Zhizhi, Iâm feeling much better and I can finally die without any pain. You donât have to feel sorry for me. If I have the chance, I would love to be your mother-in-law again in my next life.â
Xu Wei did not know what to say, so she just replied plainly, âOkay.â
Outside the door, Bai Yao was urging Lu Jingwen to come home as soon as possible. Madam Lu was dying, and she reckoned that a war was going to befall all of them.
After all, the Lu Corporation was a family company. In other words, whoever owned the largest percentage of shares would take control of the company. Therefore, she wanted her husband to become the boss of the Lu Corporation.
The atmosphere in the Lu Family was changing.
At night, Xu Wei stayed in Madam Luâs room to take care of her.
Madam Lu refused to go to sleep during the first half of the night. After all, she was going to die in two more days. Her eyes would close forever, so she wanted to make the best use of her remaining time and admire the world.
By the time she opened her eyes, her room was bright as day, and Madam Lu felt a little bit hungry. She opened her mouth and said, âMy head doesnât hurt anymore, but Iâm hungry. It would be great if I could have some pork now.â
Everyone in the room was stunned.
Before this, while she had been having a high fever and vomiting blood, she had been unable to even take a sip from a bowl of porridge.
Lu Ning hastily called Dr. Liang and said, âDr. Liang, can you take a look at my aunt? She seems a little weird today.â
Madam Lu watched as Dr. Liang placed his stethoscope on her chest. Whenever she had chest pain, she would need Dr. Liangâs medicine to help her get through the pain. However, nothing had happened last night, and sheâd had a good nightâs sleep.
âWhy is that?â
Madam Lu thought for a moment. When her gaze fell on Fu Zhi, her eyes shone brightly.
âCould it be because of Zhizhiâs medicine?â
When Dr. Liang saw that Madam Luâs vital signs had become normal again, he was surprised. His eyes were filled with delight as he said in disbelief, âThis is a miracle! The medicine Ms. Fu Zhi gave you worked! Madam Lu, you donât have to die anymore!â
