278 Recovery And Joy (2/2)

”Yes, Your Highness.”

While Ellie, Melody, and Sherry went to get Lily's mother's body cleaned with wet towels and changed into fresh clothes, Leon had gone outside and found himself an open spot to summon his pill cauldron.

The fire was soon lit, and spirit herbs were tossed inside as he began a round of pill refinement. Half an incense stick of time later, two new batches of pills were refined. They were Blood Nurturing Pills and Bone Reinforcement Pills used to aid the recovery of new blood and growth of bones.

They were all Tier-2 Spirit Pills. Due to it being quite a long time since he last refined these types of pills in his previous life, there were a few Mid-rank pills among the High-rank pills within the batch of nine pills he refined for each.

Leon kept a single of each pill and stored away the rest before returning inside the room to feed Lily's mother the two pills and helped her absorb its efficacy.

The painful process of reforming the bones had made her passed out several times, only to reawaken shortly due to the pain. By the end of the treatment, she had passed out again, having exhausted all her mental strength.

At this moment, she was awakened once more by Leon's subtle movements.

”How are you feeling?” Leon asked.

Sara studied her body carefully and said, ”Better than ever. Thank you for your treatment, Divine Doctor. You have given this lady a chance to walk under the sun again. I'm not sure how we can repay you.”

With such divine skill and medicine, Lily's mother figured that the cost would not come lightly. She was rather concerned that her daughter and she would not be able to afford the treatment fee.

However, the Divine Doctor had given her a new lease on life. This was a debt of gratitude she had to repay at all costs.

”There's no need for you to be concerned about that. It was just a small favor.” Leon waved it off nonchalantly, but Ellie saw that there were still few beads of sweat on his forehead and took the opportunity to wipe it for him. ”Err… Ahem, thank you.”

”Well then, my job here is done. I still have other matters to attend to so I will be excusing myself first.”

Ellie, Melody, and Sherry respectfully bid him farewell with a curtsy.

Seeing that Leon was unwilling to dwell on the matter, Lily's mother did not keep him as Leon left. The trio also left shortly after cleaning up the room a bit.

Lily continued to sleep with drool coming out from her mouth, while her mother sat upright in the other bed with a pondering look.

She was still clueless about Leon's identity as he had referred to himself as a divine doctor and she was not awake to hear the three maids address him as ”Your Highness” either.

From the limited information she gathered in her mind, she concluded that the young divine doctor might be the new royal physician working in the palace.

If that was the case, there were plenty of chances for their mother and daughter to repay the divine doctor's good grace.

”Uuu.”

At this moment, Lily was finally awoken from her two-hour deep sleep. She rubbed her eyes as she surveyed the familiar room. When her drowsy eyes landed on her mother, she was roused awake.

”Looks like my lovely little girl has finally woken up.” Sara smiled.

”Mom?! Are you okay?! How are you sitting up?!” Lily was given a huge fright. She knew how bad her mother's condition was. It was impossible to sit up like this! She hurried over and inspected her mother anxiously with concern.

”It's alright. The divine doctor you found had already treated me.” Sara said to her daughter with gentleness.

Her face was no longer pale and even have a rosy hue. She still feels a bit weak, but her pain was gone. She felt very comfortable. It was a blessing to be alive.

Lily was confused by her mother's words, but this confusion only lasted a moment as it was swept away by the overwhelming joy she felt for her mother's recovery. She could see the transformation. There were no casts supporting her mother's body.

”Mom! It's so great that you are well again!”

Lily rubbed her face in her mother's embrace affectionately with joy and tears as Sara rubbed her daughter's head lovingly with a bit of redness in her eyes. It had also not been easy for her daughter to take care of her all this time.

”It's been hard on you.”

Lily cried hard when she heard this and the two stuck together for some time before Lily finally calmed down.

”Why does my forehead feel so sore?” Lily suddenly frowned and rubbed her forehead. Before Sara could answer, Lily had already dashed in front of the mirror and came rushing back. She cried while pointing to her two big bumps, ”Mom, this is bad! I think I caught accidentally caught your disease!”

Sara was briefly stunned, before she angrily chided, ”Nonsense!”
