Lin Dan's willingness to treat her son's legs was already a massive favor, and the woman didn't want to take any more of her money no matter what.

Lin Dan folded the silver banknote neatly, stuffed it into the woman's purse, and said bluntly: "The sooner his foundation has been restored, the sooner I will be able to start the treatment, and the sooner Brother can see some signs of hope. This is beneficial for you, but even more so for Brother. Speaking frankly: I'm not helping you out of the kindness of my heart, but for the sake of Brother, do you understand? So do what I say and don't argue."

The woman finally reluctantly accepted the money, thanking Lin Dan a thousand times again.

Only after the two of them made things clear did Lin Dan begin to write the prescription, pondering as she wrote, adding and adjusting with extreme care. The woman dared not disturb her, and could only stand beside her and watch with endless awe. The two didn't even notice that, outside the open courtyard door, a carriage had stopped at some point, and a handsome man had been helped down by two guards and settled at the doorway.

The guards who followed Lin Dan, however, were very alert. They hurriedly ran out to take a look and, finding that it was the general, showed expressions of disbelief. Ever since he had been paralyzed, the general had, without exception, never stepped out of the manor again. At most, he only looked at the scenery in the courtyard, his eyes completely unfocused, as if he was in a whole other world.

But now, the general's face was sullen, fixed on the inner courtyard, looking agitated and tense. Who he came for, the guards knew without asking.

"Reporting to the general, the young miss is inside." The guards said in a low voice.

Xue Boyong nodded slightly, then turned the wheelchair to go forward, indistinctly hearing Lin Dan converse with a stranger. He couldn't hear what they were talking about, but couldn't miss the word 'Brother.' Every ten sentences, she would bring 'Brother' up ten times. It could be seen that someone was constantly on her lips and in her heart.

Xue Boyong's heart, which had been filled with worry and fury, directly softened into a total mess, and his frowning brows unconsciously smoothed out, revealing a hint of a tender smile. When he had heard that Lin Dan was going to stay out all night, he almost went mad with agitation. Unable to wait even a little, he immediately told the guards to chase after her. Imagining Lin Dan staying with several strangers in a place he couldn't see, not knowing whether she was in danger, an uncontrollable impulse suddenly surged in his heart. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had gone along with the guards. The lanterns of the Xue Manor were glinting at the end of the road, getting further and further away.

He lifted the curtain of the carriage, looking out at the all at once familiar and unfamiliar capital city, and finally sighed deeply. Stepping out of Xiaofeng Pavilion and returning to this place that he used to travel so freely wasn't impossible after all. He had just needed a turning point and a reason, that's all.

Lin Dan taught the woman how to massage and finished formulating a prescription. She finally walked out of the room, stretching her lazy waist and preparing to take a breather, but found that Xue Boyong was sitting peacefully under the veranda, looking at herself with deep eyes.

Her half-stretched waist retracted immediately, and she said in surprise, "Brother, why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick you up." Xue Boyong said slowly. "From now on, we have to make a new rule: no matter where you go, you must come back at night; you're not allowed to stay out overnight." As long as he remembered that Lin Dan was not in Xiaofeng Pavilion, not nearby, he would be unable to control his agitation.
