Chapter 139: Chapter 115: I’m Sure That’s Not a Potion Made by a Master of Pharmacy
The small vial was a flawless porcelain white, with a creamy, gentle texture that made it quite appealing.
Ling Yunyun kept looking toward the door of the hospital room, eagerly anticipating Ju Bao’s arrival, so she didn’t notice.
Off to the side, Shu Yao was quietly explaining something to Ke Dancheng. Neither of them paid any attention either.
Meanwhile, Luo Xingyu was a bit lost in thought, seemingly preoccupied with something.
No one showed any interest. Holding the vial, Lin Zhenxiang felt a bit awkward.
Lin Yaodong, however, seemed intrigued. He was curious about the small vial in Lin Zhenxiang’s hand.
"Xiangxiang, what is this?"
He actually had no idea what his own daughter had brought out!
’Some father and daughter they are!’
Lin Zhenxiang smiled demurely. "This is Fetal Protection Medicine."
In an instant, several pairs of eyes snapped toward her.
Once all eyes were on her, Lin Zhenxiang smiled brightly at a slightly bewildered Luo Xingyu and began to speak at a leisurely pace. "Vice District Chief Luo, you went to the Lower Star District yesterday, but you didn’t find the Master of Pharmacy, did you?"
Luo Xingyu was no fool. He quickly grasped the hidden implication in her words. "So, what does this Fetal Protection Medicine of yours have to do with the Master of Pharmacy?"
Lin Zhenxiang’s voice was soft and sweet. "I’ve been very worried about Mrs. Luo’s condition. Just like you, I hope she can safely give birth to a healthy baby."
Luo Xingyu seemed moved. "That’s very thoughtful of you, Miss Lin."
Lin Zhenxiang continued, "After I went home yesterday, I used all of my connections to ask about the Master of Pharmacy’s whereabouts."
"So... you found them?" Ke Dancheng couldn’t help but ask.
He was naturally very interested in the person who had saved his mother’s life.
Lin Zhenxiang, however, simply shook her head in response.
Shu Yao just watched quietly, waiting to see how she would spin this.
"Although I didn’t find the Master of Pharmacy themself, I did get in touch with a middleman." Lin Zhenxiang raised her hand, once again displaying the small vial for all to see. "This is the Fetal Protection Medicine I got from that middleman. It cost me over seven million Star Coins! I didn’t even dare tell my family!"
After saying this, she playfully stuck out her tongue.
"Oh, you!" Lin Yaodong pointed at her twice, a seemingly helpless smile on his face.
"I know seven million Star Coins is a bit expensive," Lin Zhenxiang said humbly, but inwardly she was smug.
’For a huge, money-making influencer like her, that sum was nothing.’
Lin Zhenxiang added, "However, since this Fetal Protection Medicine comes from that incredible Master of Pharmacy, I’m sure it’s worth every penny."
After she finished, she looked at Luo Xingyu and Ling Yunyun, as if searching for a reaction on the couple’s faces.
Luo Xingyu showed only a flicker of surprise before his expression turned thoughtful.
As for Ling Yunyun, she looked completely taken aback when she heard the price of the Fetal Protection Medicine.
A strange feeling suddenly came over Lin Zhenxiang.
’She had presented them with an exorbitantly priced Fetal Protection Medicine, yet these people weren’t excited or grateful.’
’They didn’t show a single shred of desire for the item in her hands!’
Lin Zhenxiang stood up, brought the vial to Ling Yunyun, and offered it with both hands. With utmost sincerity, she said, "Mrs. Luo, I hope that you and your baby will be safe and sound."
"No, no, no!" Ling Yunyun frantically waved her hands, subconsciously shifting back a little.
’Something worth over seven million Star Coins... she didn’t even dare touch it, even if it could be a great help to her.’
Ling Yunyun smiled and politely refused, keeping her distance. "Miss Lin, I appreciate the thought, truly! But I really can’t accept this!"
Lin Zhenxiang put on a hurt expression. "But... I went to so much trouble to get this for you..."
"It’s too valuable!"
’And too great a burden.’
Ling Yunyun gave a strained smile.
Lin Zhenxiang pleaded in a soft, plaintive voice, "Mrs. Luo, please just accept it. It’s no use for me to keep it."
"There are many pregnant women in situations similar to mine. Please, Miss Lin, give it to a mother who needs it more!" Ling Yunyun insisted. "Besides, you can see for yourself that I’ve stabilized a lot since using Dean Wen’s new medicine. He also specifically told me not to take any unapproved medications."
’She was a patient at the Imperial Hospital. If something went wrong because she took unapproved medication, the hospital and Dean Wen would be held responsible. She was already a burden to her family; she couldn’t possibly add to anyone else’s burden.’
’What’s more, she couldn’t let the baby in her womb take such a risk with her!’
Lin Zhenxiang’s voice remained gentle as she said,
"But Dean Wen’s new medicine is still in the experimental phase, isn’t it? For a medicine that hasn’t even been released to the market, there’s no guarantee it won’t have side effects or other issues down the line.
This bottle of Fetal Protection Medicine, on the other hand, comes from the Master of Pharmacy.
And the middleman repeatedly assured me that once a mother confirmed to be carrying a Beastman baby takes it, her pregnancy symptoms won’t be nearly as severe."
