Chapter 57 Wakeup

She thought for a while and told them the prescription.

After the servants wrote it down, she said, "Hurry up and decoct the medicine!"

After the servants quickly left, the family doctor was stunned and asked, "What prescription is it?"

Charlotte patiently explained, "It's Largeleaf Gentian Decoction. It is a common prescription to expel the cold and nourish the blood. Madame Clark is old, so I added Astragalus to increase her energy."

After a pause, she added, "Although the prescription is common, it will be effective according to her symptoms. I believe her condition will improve after she takes one dose."

The family doctor knew nothing about traditional medicine, so he was at a loss. Foreign medicine had become popular in recent years. Like many other people, he had no trust in ancient traditional medicine. Despite the presence of Nelson and Matthew, he frowned, "Young lady, who is your teacher? You don't have the slightest reverence for human life at such a young age! What if Madame Clark's condition gets worse after she takes your medicine?"

Rachel calmed down, so she pushed away the servant supporting her, looked at Charlotte, and sneered, "Charlotte, you have delayed grandma's treatment time! If anything happens to her, you will not get away with it!" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Charlotte took a deep breath, looked at the family doctor, and said, "Madame Clark's condition can't be worse."

The family doctor was at a loss for words. After all, he knew it was useless even if they sent her to the hospital now. It might be better to try the last resort.

Rachel did not know medicine at all. In her eyes, only the hospital could save Madame Clark. So, she believed Charlotte and Nelson were joining hands to murder her. New and old grudges made her hate Charlotte to the core, so she said, "People all have mouths. It's easier said than done! But I know you're making excuses for failing to save my grandma!"

Becca glanced at Nelson, quickly pulled Rachel over, and said, "Rachel, you should not have said so much. After all, things have come down to this point. Let's wait and see how Ms. Lopez's medical skills are."

Rachel sneered, "If my grandma dies, I will bury you with her!"

Charlotte pursed her lips, not wanting to speak to her. She turned to look at Madame Clark lying on the bed. Seeing her face getting paler, she said to a servant, "Close all the windows. Don't let any wind in."

The servants hurried to do as she ordered.

About five minutes later, the decoction was ready. People in the bedroom could smell the bitterness from a long distance away, so Becca and Rachel couldn't help covering their noses.

Rachel asked with a deep frown, "Is such a thing drinkable?"

The world was rapidly developing, and people no longer trusted the things passed down from their ancestors. Many people sneered at t traditional medicine and thought those who engaged in traditional medicine were liars. Foreign medicine was simple, convenient, and effective, so it was more popular. Compared with it, traditional medicine was troublesome and bitter. So, it became even more unpopular. But for most cases, foreign medicine treated the symptoms, while traditional medicine treated the disease.

Charlotte glanced at Rachel, picked the decoction up, and asked the servants to put two soft pillows behind Madame Clark's back to make it more convenient to feed her the medicine.

She scooped up the decoction. When she was about to feed it to Madame Clark, Rachel suddenly said, "Ms. Lopez, you'd better think about it carefully!"

She believed even a healthy person would die after taking this bowl of black decoction.

Charlotte paused for a second and then began to feed Madame Clark the medicine.

Because of hemiplegia, it was difficult to feed her. But Charlotte was patient. And it took more than ten minutes to feed half of the decoction. Then, she let Madame Clark lie on her back and wrapped her thin body tightly with the quilt.

She breathed a sigh of relief, believing the medicine would soon take effect.

Everyone intently looked at Madame Clark. After five minutes, she suddenly trembled all over. Rachel was so startled that she screamed and rushed to the bed. Even Matthew took a step forward with a frown.

Madame Clark's body kept convulsing. Soon, the quilt could no longer wrap her. Rachel's face was full of tears. She glared at Charlotte and said, "Look at what you did! Are you happy now? Guys, she murdered Madame Clark! Hurry up and drag her to the Public Station! She poisoned her!"

The servants didn't respond but turned to look at Matthew and Nelson.

Charlotte frowned, "Madame Clark has suffered from the stroke for a long time. So, it's normal for her to react like this. She will be fine..."

Before she could finish her words, Madame Clark's withered hand suddenly grabbed Rachel's wrist, causing the latter to scream in fright. Then, she tilted her head and spat out a mouthful of black-red

blood!

Rachel was terrified and shouted, "Charlotte, you vicious b*tch! You poisoned Madame Clark! You poisoned her!"

Charlotte was speechless, thinking she had watched too many soap operas.

Then, she helplessly said, "What Madame Clark spat out is the blood stagnant in her chest. After getting rid of it, she is out of danger now."

"Bullshit!"

Rachel no longer cared about her image and angrily shouted, "Hurry up and send this b*tch to the police station! I want her to repay with her life!"

Hearing this, Nelson indifferently said with strong murderous intention, "I've long told you that you don't have the final say in my family. Why don't you keep my words in mind?"

Rachel instinctively trembled. Looking at Madame Clark lying on the bed, she thought of her dark future and hysterically shouted, "Nelson, why are you still defending her? You are bewitched! She killed your grandmother!"

Nelson sneered, "It's not a big deal if she dies. After all, she has lived a long time. It should be enough for her now."

Rachel froze because she had never expected him to say such words in front of so many people.

Matthew looked at Nelson in disapproval and said, "Nelson!"

Nelson didn't say anything more but glanced at Charlotte's pale face. He didn't care whether she could save his grandmother. But Charlotte had given him the prescription. Since she had put herself

forward, she must be confident of saving her life. So, he did not mind waiting a little longer.

He lightly glanced at Rachel and said, "Ms. Brown, if you continue to be so noisy, I will mute you forever."

Rachel instantly covered her mouth in horror.

Suddenly, Madame Clark on the bed coughed. And her pale face slowly reddened when she weakly opened his eyes!
