Gu Jin nodded, however in her heart she couldn’t help but feel a bit of envy. Long Yifan as a brother...was truly awesome.
For some reason, Gu Jin couldn’t help but think about Si Kai when she saw Long Yifan’s behavior.
If someday, she too got sick like Long Yifan’s sister then would Si Kai care for her as Long Yifan does?
Would he hire various doctors and shamans for her too? Would he stay by her side and protect her like Long Yifan is doing?
No! What she was thinking?
Gu Jin almost wanted to pat her head and scold herself.
Si Kai wanted to travel around the world. When he would grow up, he would eventually leave her side and may even find a bride.
She should think of how to collect a generous dowry for the bride.
Gu Jin chuckled in her heart when she thought about those things.
Of course, what she didn’t know was that there would come a time when Si Kai would act like Long Yifan and the person for whom he will be concerned would be her. The only exception would be, other than him there would many more people who would be concerned for her.
Gu Jin reached a conclusion and replied to Long Yifan,
"She won’t regain her consciousness instantly. But if you give me 3 years, I will be able to cure her completely."
3 years was a long time. In fact, according to her memory, she would be able to cure the girl within 2 years. However, she didn’t want to disappoint Long Yifan.
What if some variables arrived? It would be better if she had some extra time if some variables arose.
Gu Jin expected Long Yifan to be disappointed, but to her surprise, she saw Long Yifan visibly relax.
She didn’t see any excited expression on Long Yifan’s face but Gu Jin felt as if he was excited.
Even the head butler’s eyes shone.
Long Yifan suppressed the rising excitement in his eyes and looked at Gu Jin,
"From when can you start her treatment?"
Each day can make a difference. If they started now, maybe his sister would wake up in 2 years 363 days?
Gu Jin sensed Long Yifan’s thoughts and poured cold water on him as she said,
"I am not in perfect condition. And I will need herbs to treat her. Only when those herbs are present could I make the medicine."
Gu Jin’s words brought Long Yifan to his senses and he said,
"Alright. Miss Gu, please rest, I will ask the servant to bring the dishes into your room."
Gu Jin nodded her head and suddenly she thought of an idea.
God knows why even though she decided to give up on that idea, she still couldn’t stop herself and she said,
"To treat her illness I would need to stay close to her."
"Why don’t you shift here for convenience."
Both Long Yifan and Gu Jin said at the same time.
The head butler was surprised by their chemistry.
Long Yifan coughed and said,
"Good suggestion. You can stay here and I will ensure that you don’t suffer any injustice here. Also once you completely treat my sister, I will give your treatment fees."
Gu Jin shook her head, there was a hint of stubbornness in her eyes as she said,
"No need, I am treating her to repay the kindness that is all! All I hope is that you can buy the herbs from your side that is it."
Even though she liked Long Yifan a lot, that doesn’t mean she would take favors. Her heart doesn’t allow her to owe someone a favor.
Once she repays Long Yifan, she will find a way to repay Principal Feng.
Gu Jin turned and left the room before Long Yifan could say anything.
Stubborn.
Long Yifan couldn’t help but conclude that Gu Jin was very stubborn.
"Young Master I will prepare the herbal bath for you." The head butler who was earlier looking at Gu Jin with admiration turned and said to Long YIfan.
Long Yifan nodded.
Once the head butler left, Long Yifan finally smiled as he caressed his sister’s cheeks,
"Sister you will be cured now. I am so so happy! I wish I could share this happiness with you."
The girl remained silent.
Long Yifan couldn’t explain how he was feeling. The fear of losing his sister as the day passed slowly vanished.
He believed that Gu Jin could cure his sister. His sister’s disease was identified by only 3 people, but none of them were capable of finding any medicine to cure the disease.
Hell, they weren’t even able to make his sister conscious for a split second.
Maybe all 3 of them had only partially known the disease and Gu Jin’s answer was right. Otherwise, how could she do something that other doctors can’t?
However, the question was...how could Gu Jin a 14 year old have a cure for a disease unknown by even those top doctors?
Long Yifan shook his head.
