Seeing the little lizard, Wu Yuyao said emotionally, “this is what this damn thing did to Yingying, right? I’ll kill it!” Then, Wu Yuyao picked up her slippers and was about to hit it.

Jin Xi protected it in her arms, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, “you don’t want to save your daughter?”

Wu Yuyao was stunned for a moment. After thinking for a moment, she finally threw away the slipper in her hand. Although Jin Yingying was an adopted daughter, they had gotten along very well for so many years, so she would not let anything happen to Jin Yingying.

“Don’t take it to heart. Your mother was just too anxious. She didn’t mean it.” Jin Yida tried to smooth things over.

Jin Xi frowned, her expression cold. “You don’t have to apologize to me. Just apologize to it.” She stroked the lizard with her faird fingers as if she was comforting a frightened child.

For the sake of Jin Yingying, she put down her pride and unwillingly said, “I’m sorry.”

The lizard raised its little head and proudly climbed up and down on Jin Xi’s arm. It seemed a little unhappy.

“Don’t be naughty.” Jin Xi tapped its head with her finger, and it finally calmed down.

“Give me some water.” Jin Xi ordered. At this time, all the servants at home were already asleep, so Wu Yuyao had to pour her a glass of water.

Jin Xi took something out of the room and put it in the water to melt, then fed the entire cup of water to Jin Yingying.

“W-what are you holding?” Jin Yida asked in a low voice.

“Its feces,” Jin Xi replied without even lifting her eyelids.

An awkward atmosphere instantly formed in the air. After all, no one could accept the fact that they were eating feces.

However, they didn’t expect it to be effective. Jin Yingying slowly woke up in less than five minutes after drinking the fecal water. The swelling on her hand was also slowly dissipating.

“Oh my God, what’s wrong with me? Cough, cough, it is so bitter!” Jin Yingying asked in confusion after she woke up.

The Jin couple looked at each other, hesitating whether to tell their daughter about the fecal water.

“Remember this. If there’s a next time, you won’t be so lucky!” After warning her, Jin Xi closed the door.

After settling the lizard down, she sat in front of the table. On the table was the cup of milk tea that Zhong Yihan had given her at the bar. She patted her belly. Shhe picked up the milk tea, inserted the straw, and took a sip. It tasted really good. It was much better than the one Zhang Lan bought!

…

At the Zhong residence.

“The fourth young master is back.”

As soon as Zhong Yihan got out of the car, a servant welcomed him.

“How’s grandma doing?” Zhong Yihan asked.

I’m afraid her condition isn’t looking too good. She hasn’t been awake the entire day.” The servant replied worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yihan’s expression turned grave. Although Old Madam Zhong was seriously ill, she would wake up at least a few times a day. But recently, the number of times she was awake was getting less and less. Today, she didn’t even wake up once. This could only mean that her condition had worsened.

“Zhong Yi,” Zhong Yihan called out in a low voice.

A man in black quickly walked to his side. “Master Han.”

“Is the master online?” Zhong Yihan asked.

“No,” Zhong Yi lowered his head and replied in a deep voice.

Hearing this answer, Zhong Yihan’s face darkened. More than a week ago, they had already transferred the money for the treatment to the master’s account. However, not only did the other party refuse to treat his grandma, they even disappeared.

“Pass on my orders,” Zhong Yihan ordered coldly. “Immediately gather information on all the masters in the world. No matter who it is, as long as they can cure grandma, the Zhong family is willing to pay ten times the market price!”

Zhong Yi was shocked. Ten times the pay? That was a huge sum of money. An ordinary person would not be able to spend it all in their lifetime. However, if it could really cure Old Madam Zhong, nothing was too expensive. But if they couldn’t cure her…

Zhong Yihan went to his grandmother’s room and slowly sat down on the bed. Just as the servant had said, her condition was not very good. Her complexion was much worse than a few days ago. Her face was dry and yellowish, as if someone had sucked all the moisture from her body.

“Master Han…” the servant seemed to want to say something, but she was hesitant.

Zhong Yihan placed his slender hands into the basin of water, wet the towel, and wiped the old lady’s face. “What is it?”

The servant stammered, “this…this morning, second master and the others came over. They… they said that it’s pointless and maybe it’s better to just give up on treating her…”
