24: Chapter 24 He Must Be Planning to Kidnap My Daughter-in-Law 24: Chapter 24 He Must Be Planning to Kidnap My Daughter-in-Law Elena Ryan’s heart skipped a beat, hastily forcing a shallow smile, “Of course I’m happy!
Lucas is my son, after all!”
Serena Sumrs stared at the insincere smile on Elena Ryan’s face, shaking her head helplessly.
Even outsiders could see through Elena Ryan’s thoughts; how much must she hate Lucas Shaw?
“I have used silver needles to temporarily slow the spread of the poison towards the viscera; his life is not in imdiate danger for now.”
Serena Sumrs gave Elena Ryan a aningful look and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but as long as I’m here, my husband is sure to live a long life!”
“Uncle White, bring those herbs you purchased.
Starting from today, he needs to maintain herbal baths, and his prescription must be readjusted.”
Mr.
White quickly obeyed and left.
In a short while, he returned to the room with the herbs.
He also brought along the prescription that Professor Parker had previously written.
Serena Sumrs looked at the prescription and couldn’t help furrowing her brow.
She picked up a pen beside her, crossed out three herbs on the recipe, and replaced them with ones of similar properties but milder.
Then she added a few new herbs at the end.
Professor Parker took the written prescription and glanced at it, and instantly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“Good!
Really good!”
Professor Parker did not hide his inner joy and burst into hearty laughter.
Everyone present exchanged puzzled glances, their eyes filled with bewildernt.
Master Shaw asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?
Is there sothing wrong with this prescription?”
Professor Parker was known for his arrogant temperant.
Master Shaw seldom saw him laugh so heartily; his curiosity about the prescription grew.
Pointing at the prescription in his hand, Professor Parker laughed, “This young lady has modified a few herbs on my formula, and I’ve learned a great deal.
Why didn’t I think of it before?”
The herbs that Serena Sumrs replaced were cold and potent; although they were exceptionally effective for detoxification, Lucas Shaw’s body couldn’t withstand them.
Lucas Shaw’s body was like a balloon leaking air; using such potent dicine would only cause irreversible damage.
So, Serena Sumrs found so herbs with similar properties but of a warr nature.
However, these few herbs were very rare; the likelihood of gathering them quickly was slim, which was why he had not considered them before.
Professor Parker, in all earnestness, patted his chest and assured, “This young lady’s dical skills are definitely superior to mine!
Truly a worthy disciple of that old man Victor Bennett, indeed naturally gifted!”
Upon hearing this, Master Shaw felt a surge of vicarious pride.
His face was full of pride, “That’s correct, who else could it be but my granddaughter-in-law!”
Seeing Master Shaw’s proud expression, Professor Parker felt sour inside.
Why hadn’t he encountered such an exceptional granddaughter-in-law?
His sons only knew how to spend money and have fun all day, showing no initiative to alleviate his worries as their grandfather!
Old Master Parker sneered inwardly, secretly hoping for Serena Sumrs and Lucas Shaw to divorce!
The mont they divorced, he would entice his grandson to bring Serena ho!
Little did he know, Lucas Shaw, already unconscious, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
A smile appeared on Serena Sumrs’ face, but she could not hide the paleness of her complexion, “Master never tells about the past; turns out I have a grand-uncle too.”
Administering acupuncture to Lucas Shaw had already consud a lot of her strength, and now with Professor Parker pestering her with endless questions, she suddenly felt dizzy.
Professor Parker, once the topic shifted to dicine, beca engrossed in excitent, completely oblivious to Serena Sumrs’ discomfort.
Standing by, Liam Shaw noticed the paleness on Serena Sumrs’ face and quickly spoke up to stop Professor Parker, “Professor, after having just administered an acupuncture treatnt, my sister-in-law must be exhausted.
Let’s let her rest for a while.”
“In this period, Lucas and my sister-in-law will stay at the family ho.
If you wish to visit her, the Shaw Family is always welcoming.”
Professor Parker was taken aback; noticing the ghastly paleness of Serena’s complexion, he quickly said, “I got too excited just now.
Serena, get so rest.
I’ll co to see you again tomorrow.”
Having said that, he hurriedly took his dicine box and rushed out.
As a nationally renowned dical expert, Professor Parker has countless patients waiting for him every day.
This ti, hearing of Lucas Shaw’s relapse, he promptly dropped what he was working on to co over.
Now, seeing that Lucas’s condition had stabilized and Serena was by his side, Professor Parker was imdiately relieved.
He bid Serena a warm farewell and quickly departed.
After Professor Parker left, Master Shaw quietly sidled up to Liam Shaw and murmured, “I think this old man has ulterior motives; he definitely wants to steal our granddaughter-in-law.
Don’t let him co to our ho too often in the future.”
Liam Shaw, powerless, replied, “Grandfather, wasn’t it you who called the professor here?”
Master Shaw: “…I was just worried that Serena, a young girl, might not be able to handle everything alone!”
Master Shaw guiltily averted his eyes, his tone clearly lacking conviction.
Liam Shaw chuckled inwardly, his tone filled with helplessness, “Now that you’ve seen how capable Serena is, are you still worried?”
“Not worried!
Our Serena is amazing!
The Shaw Family has truly picked up a treasure!”
Master Shaw’s voice was full of pride.
Previously, he had known that Serena was a disciple of Victor Bennett, but he still had so underlying concerns.
However, after having witnessed Serena’s impressive dical skills, Master Shaw was no longer worried.
Clearing his throat, he said to Serena warmly, “Girl, you must be exhausted, huh?
You’ve really worked hard today.”
Serena waved her hand, and her pale little face revealed a pair of charming little tiger teeth, “It’s all right, Grandfather.
This is my duty.”
Lucas Shaw is her husband, and she definitely didn’t want to beco a young widow just after getting married!
Hearing this, Master Shaw looked at Serena with an expression full of satisfaction.
He nodded his head and turned, leaving the bedroom with Liam Shaw.
As the bedroom door closed, Serena Sumrs instantly deflated.
She leaned back and sank into the soft big bed.
Beside her lay the handso face and delicate features of the man.
Right now, his face was sowhat pale, his thin lips completely devoid of color, his appearance extrely frail, as if he were a dry twig that could be easily snapped.
Serena lay on her side, her watery eyes staring straight at Lucas Shaw, thinking: Her husband, he’s really good looking.
He’s exactly her type.
Within the spacious bedroom, only their overlapping breaths remained in the silence.
Serena stared unabashedly at her husband’s sleeping face, eyes unblinking, gaze hot and intense without any attempt to conceal it.
As sleepiness crept upon her, Serena yawned and slowly closed her eyes.
Before falling completely asleep, Serena suddenly felt a chill, a coldness that made her draw into a tight ball.
In a daze, she felt a source of warmth.
Instinctively moving towards it, she bumped into a wall of flesh.
Her forehead pressed against a hard “wall,” Serena made a few uncomfortable whimpers, feeling sowhat uneasy.
