The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 388 Mysterious Herb

"How's it? Does it look similar?" Julian Shaw leaned forward to ask.

Susan felt vexed yet amused all at once.

She refrained the urge to laugh forcibly and nudged Julian’s nose softly. "So ugly."

"I think it looks fine." Julian raised an eyebrow.

As he was speaking, Julian checked out his reflection i n the mirror. "I look rather dashing, don't I?"

Susan felt an ineffable feeling surging into her heart a t once. She said softly, "Frankly, there's no need for you to do this for me, Julian. I... I feel fine now. You should go ahead and wash away the rashes."

Julian laughed and gave her a kiss. "I truly find that it looks rather good on me."

Julian changed the topic of conversation as he was speaking. "Let’s go, Susie. We won't be going to the hospital today. I've contacted a very impressive traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. We shall seek consultation from them."

"Alright.” Even though Susan was still fearful of leaving the house, she mustered the courage to take o n the task as well since Julian had already convinced her.

Everyone was there downstairs.

"Julian, is the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner reliable? There are way too many fake practitioners now-don't go looking for the wrong person,” asked Luna Harris worriedly.

"Don’t worry." Julian said, "I looked up the person in advance, and they’re a very experienced old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. We're just giving it a trial consultation, it won't make things

worse anyhow.”

"Then I shall go with you.” Luna was about to stand up and leave the house. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Don't, Mom. You should stay home and be with Chessie. It’s fine for Julian and I to go on our own," said Susan hastily.

She did not want her family members to worry more about her.

Realizing Susan's determined mannerism, Luna called off the idea.

A mocking look flashed past Mr. Clark's gaze for a moment, then he said with a kind expression, "It's good too to seek consultation from traditional Chinese medicine. Perhaps, there might be new ideas and new ways. Then, the disease will be cured in a jiffy, right?"

"I hope so,” answered Julian. Then he took Susan to head out.

A treacherous glint flashed past Mr. Clark's eyes as he watched their departing silhouettes.

The successful development of the Errol Virus was the result of his life's painstaking efforts! A large portion o f factors that resulted in the development of such a powerful virus was no longer due to man's effort, but it was providence.

God supported him to seek revenge. Julian must be dreaming if he wished to hack his virus so easily.

'Heh-heh. You have only yourself to thank for that, Julian.'

'Had it not been your merciless action, you could've joined us and Susan would've been saved naturally. It was you who led Susan on the path of no return with your own hands."

Mr. Clark felt as if he could see Julian’s heartbroken appearance already. His slightly bent back seemed to straighten more.

Julian took Susan to leave the house.

The late autumn wind was already rather cold. As soon as Susan left the house, she revealed a fearful expression.

Julian took out a scarf for Susan. "Susie, maybe you’d like to cover your face with the scarf if you're not used to this?"

Susan inhaled a deep breath and cracked into a smile at Julian. "No need for that! There's nothing for me to b e afraid of now that you're with me." "Hmm." Julian's gaze softened as well.

Susan chuckled and took the initiative to hold Julian's hand.

She truly felt that she was a very lucky woman.

Regardless of the hardships she had to endure, Julian was always with her right by her side all this time. 2

The old traditional Chinese medicine practitioner that Julian found lived in a very secluded place just as expected.

Julian took Susan and they had to turn here and there for a long time before they found the person.

An old man was laying out medicinal herbs to dry them out leisurely in the small-scale courtyard. The scene appeared calm and carefree. A few students were helping out with the chores around the old man.

This person appeared to be a skilled master at one glance.

Susan could not help feeling slightly hopeful in her heart.

"Mr. Vale," called out Julian.

Mr. Yale raised his head and looked up to see Julian and Susan. His expression remained calm despite their appearance.

His few students could not refrain themselves from gasping in surprise.

If Susan wree left alone to face this situation, perhaps she would wish that she could hide herself underground. However, she had Julian with her now s o she could not help feeling stronger.

Fortunately, the students were only astonished for a moment before they suppressed their surprise soon so that Susan did not need to continue to be embarrassed.

Mr. Yale took a close look at Susan and could not help saying, "This is slightly more severe than I'd imagined. Please follow me inside."

Julian took Susie to enter the house.

Mr. Yale performed the four ways of diagnosis that included sight, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse for a while. Then, he had a look of deep pondering.

"Physician, can you diagnose the problem?" asked Susan eagerly.

Mr. Yale pondered for a moment and then said, "The symptoms of your condition are quite similar to a viral infection, madam.”

"Viral infection?" Susan was stunned. "How did I get infected with a virus?"

"It's a new kind of virus. However, I’ve already gotten the picture in my mind." Mr. Yale said, "Here, I'm going to prescribe some medications. I believe that consuming the medication should be helpful

in resolving your condition."

Susan could not help expressing her delight upon learning that there was a way to cure the disease.

Even though Julian did not mind, she did not want to walk around with this face for the rest of her life. It would be best if there was a way to cure the viral infection.

"Susie, wait here. I'll follow Mr. Yale to take the medication," instructed Julian. Then he followed Mr. Yale to leave.

Mr, Yale stopped walking when they reached the medicinal herb storage. He looked at Julian in a slightly desperate manner. "I've already told her according to your instruction, yet I'm utterly incapable of figuring out her condition. How am I supposed to prescribe medicinal herbs?"

"Just give a few types of rare herbs that aren’t harmful to the body." Julian said, "It must be extremely rare such that it's basically impossible to trace. Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Yale."

"It's not considered troubling actually." Mr. Yale shook his head. He pondered closely for a while before he took out one type of medicinal herb and placed it on the table. "I picked this herb when I went on an expedition to the Boreal Forest during my younger days. I was very curious at the time so I picked quite a large amount. However, I discovered that the medicinal herb was not as useful as medicine through my thorough research, so I put it all aside. The medicinal use of this herb is not impressive, but it is s o rare that I believe no one else knows about it in

Canada other than me. After all, the Boreal Forest is truly too mysterious that ordinary people don’t have the courage to explore it, let alone seeing this type of medicinal herb coincidentally."

"This is the one then." Julian's eyes lit up.

"Alright then." Mr. Yale packed up the medicinal herb i n despair then said, "The medicinal herb is surely not harmful to the human body, but it is also ineffective in treating madam's condition."

Julian offered a deep, meaningful glance at Mr. Yale then said solemnly, "No, Mr. Yale. The medicinal herb i s going to be effective. Moreover, it's you who can see that my wife is infected by a virus at one glance and discover through research that this is the medicinal herb capable of eradicating this virus, Mr. Yale."
