The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145: 108 Inventions (Second Update)

Gu Jiao made a trip to the Medical Hall.

Today was the day of the agreed follow-up consultation with the mysterious dignitary, who was already waiting at Huichun Hall.

This time, he did not request the hall to be cleared.

Gu Jiao arrived a bit late due to saying farewell to Xiao Liulang, making the dignitary wait for a while.

The young guard beside him looked visibly displeased: “Humph, you’re the first person who has dared to make my master wait!”

Gu Jiao shrugged, “Oh, what an honor.”

The young guard turned his head away.

Gu Jiao entered the room.

The man kept his face covered with a bamboo hat, concealing his features, but his dignified and noble bearing was unmistakable.

Two attendants of a soft demeanor still stood by his side.

Being familiar with Gu Jiao’s rather unceremonious manners after several encounters, the attendants saw her ignore formal greetings toward their master and sit down. Despite their grunts of disbelief, they did not dare to utter a single word of criticism.

The reason was obvious – their master’s health had truly taken a turn for the better under this young girl’s care!

Gu Jiao had administered three doses of penicillin, one every seven days, with the last dose given a month ago. His visit today was for the follow-up.

Gu Jiao took his pulse and performed a check-up.

“Am I fully recovered now?” The joy in the man’s voice was palpable.

After taking off her gloves, Gu Jiao told him, “Currently, your recovery seems to be going well, but it would take two years without recurrence to say you are completely cured. Hence, routine follow-ups are needed.”

“Uh…” The man fell silent.

Gu Jiao sensed that his mood was unlike the previous visits, “What’s the matter? Can’t manage the follow-ups?”

He gave a small smile and replied, “To be honest, I am leaving.”

“Oh.” Gu Jiao was not surprised. His accent already hinted that he was not a native, or even from Youzhou, but from someplace even farther, where exactly – Gu Jiao could not guess.

The man asked in a friendly manner, “But I do believe you have cured me, Miss. May I ask, where did you learn such profound medical skills?”

Gu Jiao simply replied, “I have many teachers.”

“Your consultation fee is already…” Gu Jiao stopped midway as the man presented a brocade box from his attendant and placed it on the table. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}
