Xia Chujian looked again at her chicken claw hands and reed stick legs, as if she had returned to that time when she had starved in her Nutrient Cabin for a week...
It was even worse than that, because she now looked like someone who had been overexposed to radiation.
Xia Chujian was startled. "Aunt, your medicine is that powerful?!"
"It worked in such a short time..."
Xia Yuanfang said, "Don't worry. This is only superficial. Your body hasn't been harmed."
"I still have more medicine. Take it for a month, and you'll fully recover."
Xia Chujian said, "Why does it have to take so long?! Can't I get better right away?!"
Xia Yuanfang said, "You could get better right away, but weren't you going to put on a full act?"
Xia Chujian sighed. "True. Sigh, I'm so unlucky. If Qiu Zining hadn't kicked me through that door, I wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble."
She could have returned smoothly with the other students, bringing back her whole crate of gold.
Of course, then she would not have had the chance to meet such a rare child as Small Nine Xiang.
Thinking about it that way, she felt that heaven had at least compensated her somewhat and had not let her luck turn completely rotten.
But Xia Yuanfang recalled some matters related to Qiu Zining, and her gaze darkened.
She lowered her head so Xia Chujian would not see the change in her expression.
As Xia Yuanfang packed up her Instruments, she said, "Chujian, since you need to report this to the school, you should still go there and have your school's Medical Office examine you..."
Xia Chujian understood at once. "Aunt, you really thought this through!"
Her injuries and illness really did need to be verified
