The sharp blade slowly sank into its black scabbard.
Yuan Shu gradually calmed down, yet the more composed she became, the more horrified she felt... Yes, only after calming down and getting past her initial panic did she realize how terrifying this cup of tea was.
Not to mention how exactly it had been done.
Just imagine if what had appeared had not been a cup of hot tea, but a knife—or a sword...
At some point, a layer of clammy sweat had appeared around her neck... What left Yuan Shu even more speechless was that such a horrifying thing had just happened, yet Ji Ran remained completely unaware, still discussing the treatment plan with the others.
Although this girl was silent when it came to medicine and had always been like this... Yuan Shu really wondered how she would react if she learned that someone had just given her mother a huge surprise right under her nose.
The woman reached out and picked up the teacup.
"Mother, don't!" Yuan Shu hurriedly cried out in a low voice.
"I've drunk Ji Ran's tea before." The woman gently shook her head and took a small sip, her beautiful eyes glimmering. "There's no need to continue discussing this. If possible, prepare for the treatment now."
Yuan Shu opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Her mother looked gentle and fragile, but her words had always required only one result—obedience.
Ji Ran was deep in thought when her brows suddenly lifted. Her train of thought had been interrupted, and she immediately frowned again. "Young Master Luo, I've gained a preliminary understanding of the treatment plan... May I ask when you can officially begin the treatment?"
She had already received Yuan Shu's message. Her mother had actually agreed.
This surprised her somewhat...
