The Sweetest Medicine

Inside the VIP intensive care unit of a hospital, an injured man lay in a coma. The heart rate and oxygen saturation readings on the bedside monitor were within normal ranges, but the man on the bed was not awake.

Jiang Shisheng had a long, arduous journey home. His clothes were neat but his usually combed back hair was a little messy at that moment, even though it was waxed.

He looked at the man lying in the hospital bed and his body froze in shock.

Next to him, Zhong Haitang reached out a hand to support him, “Take care, Brother-in-law.”

Jiang Shisheng sighed, looked at the man in the bed and cried out painfully, “Baian…”

“Brother-in-law, the doctors said Baian’s condition doesn’t look very promising. His brain was seriously hit when his car rushed off the mountain and they don’t know when he will wake up. Brother-in-law, Baian is in this pitiful state because of Fang Zhihan,” Zhong Haitang complained.

Jiang Shisheng’s eyes were red and his voice was a little shaky, “Are the doctors trying to say that he will become a vegetable?”

Zhong Haitang shook his head, “The doctors said he is a little different. A person in a vegetative state has normal breathing, pulse, blood pressure, and body temperature, without any speech, consciousness, and thinking ability. But, Young Master An is likely brain-dead.”Read more chapters at AllNovel

Jiang Shisheng looked distraught, “Before I left, didn’t I tell him to get along well with Fang Zhihan?”

“Brother-in-law, you have no idea. It’s not that Young Master An didn’t want to get along with Fang Zhihan, Fang Zhihan was being unreasonable. Baian was hurt because he fell into Fang Zhihan’s trap. Fang Zhihan is really ruthless. He completely disregarded their brotherhood. Brother-in-law, you need to get revenge for Baian.”

Jiang Shisheng’s eyes burned up and he clenched his fists so tight, his knuckles cracked.

He looked coldly at Jiang Baian’s two assistants who weren’t standing too far away, “Didn’t I tell you to watch over him?”

“Director Jiang, we already tried to persuade Young Master An. But, after Anhe Health got into trouble, he started to act more and more extreme. He was obsessed with seeking revenge on Fang Zhihan and he wouldn’t listen to a word we said. We only found out about his accident after it happened.”

Both assistants lowered their heads to admit their mistakes.

Jiang Shisheng pressed his hands against the glass window in front of him and swayed a little like he was about to collapse.

“Director Jiang.”

Jiang Shisheng waved his hand, gesturing for them to leave.

As the two assistants walked away, Zhong Haitang approached Jiang Shisheng and said with anger, “Brother-in-law, are we supposed to let Fang Zhihan go like this?”

Jiang Shisheng glared at the man, “Get lost!”

Zhong Haitang gasped in shock and looked at Jiang Shisheng. His usually mature and refined face was shriveled up at that moment, and his kind eyes were now filled with bloodthirsty ferocity. The usually calm and gentle man had disappeared.

He had never seen Jiang Shisheng like this before.

All of a sudden, it made him feel like he had never truly known Jiang Shisheng.

…

Yu Gangan did not ask Fang Zhihan to pick her up. Instead, she drove He Shigui to meet the others halfway so they could continue towards the hot springs together.

Roughly two hours later, they arrived.

The famous Xizhou Hot Springs was located on the outskirts of Beijing and was a seven-star resort with health care, entertainment, and leisure facilities.

The resort adopted inspiration from ancient royal garden designs and was decorated with rock and water sculptures, as well as marble.

On all sides, there were forest lakes, waterfalls, and ponds, connected by clear spring water that flowed year-round at a constant temperature of roughly 40 degrees celsius.
