Chapter 183 - Starting Treatment (2/2)

Qian Ling shook her head in response. ”The drug injected to her body plus cancerous cells had made the situation complex enough. I'm performing treatment on her to get rid of both of these at once. It is extremely painful, but she needs to endure it. Even if she groans in pain, painkillers are not allowed at all times.”

Sighing, Qian Ling begins explaining another major change to her body. ”Since this treatment is equivalent to renewing her body, she would lose her current psychic abilities. The power in her body will be drained. That is also one of the reasons why this treatment would cause such pain. I will give you guys a list of herbs that must be gathered for her baths.”

”The herbs used will strengthen her poor immune system during the treatments. Right, she must stay in a room where there is a bathtub she could use. The herbs collected must be up to a year's amount. You can gather more than a year's amount, but definitely not less. Understand?”

Her instructions were clear and precise. The strictness in her tone showed no rooms for negotiation. If the herbs are not gathered completely, the treatment will not begin. Therefore, once the list of herbs was passed out to them, everyone started looking for it.

Ariana found an opportunity to ask about Alexander's whereabout. When she asked, Qian Ling replied, ”We'll talk after Susu recovers. She's the most important at the moment.”

During the following month, Susu had to drink bitter tea after every meal. Qian Ling would drop by and check on her condition to make sure her body was improving. Finally, the day of the first treatment came.

Everyone sat outside the private VIP room while waiting for the treatment to complete. The first session took three hours. When Qian Ling walked out of the room, her face was slightly pale. After taking some rest, she instructed Zi Yan, Lily and Ariana to fill the bathtub with boiled water.

Herbs were then scattered into the water. After the water changed to a light green color, they helped Susu remove her clothes and placed her in the bath. The water would be cooled down enough to not burn her skin when she bathes in it. Qian Ling stayed in the bathroom and continuously checked on her pulse during the bath session. Around half an hour passed when Ariana, Lily and Zi Yan were told to help Susu out of the bath.

When they entered, the earthy herb fragrance had been replaced by a weird smell. With one look at the tub of water, the herbs had turned slightly muddy. Fortunately, none of the thickened content were stuck to Susu's body. After wiping her body, they carried her weakened body to bed.

Susu was too fatigue to say a word after the first session. The moment she reached the bed, she fell asleep. Even during her bath, her eyes had remained close. When she woke up, dizziness hit her badly that she ended up sniffling. Her body had no energy to even lift a finger.

There were times where Chen Mu asked yes or no questions and she couldn't answer. According to the planned meals, everything was in liquid form for her to consume. Chen Mu would support her with his body while someone else would slowly feed her the meal.

It was difficult for her to eat at first because of severe nausea. Even when that happened, she still had to finish her meals. If she didn't, Qian Ling would take over to eventually make her finish the food. The cycle repeated for the following months.
