Joston gave it a thought and said, "I remembered Country Hua’s Lu family. That old matriarch’s illness was also treated by a doctor who was skilled in acupuncture. The doctor is on close terms with Lu Chengzhou."
"You’re trying to say that we should invite that traditional Chinese medicine practitioner?" Noelle stared at him blankly.
Joston nodded. "There’s no other choice."
"However..." Noelle frowned. "That traditional Chinese medicine practitioner seems to be the national top scorer on Country Hua’s joint exam. Lu Chengzhou is very protective of her and she is also protected by the country."
It was no easy feat for her to come to Country K.
Joston knocked on the table. "So you need to make a trip to the Lu family personally to look for Lu Chengzhou. Regardless of their conditions, you must get the girl to come to the presidential palace to treat your mother."
Noelle pursed her lips and kept silent for a few seconds before agreeing. "Sure, I’ll go there now. Mama’s illness cannot afford to wait anymore."
Joston replied, "Good."

Lin Shuang accompanied Gu Mang to the most famous dessert store. They sat by the window and ordered milk tea as well as other food. Gu Mang propped up her face in her hands as she ate lazily like her usual self.
Lin Shuang ordered a dessert with less calories as she was afraid of gaining weight. Taking a bite, she asked, "What do you plan to do? Are you really not treating her?"
Gu Mang lowered her eyelids, her long lashes casting a faint shadow. Licking her lips, she said, "I’m not interested."
"What’s next? Returning to Ming City?"
Lin Shuang’s gaze fell on Gu Mang’s facial features. The contours of her face were beautiful and shrouded in a sense of incomprehensible mystery.
Gu Mang ate the chocolate on the cake as she frowned subconsciously. It tasted very different from what she usually ate.
