Chang Hong’s endurance, which she prided herself on, soon wore thin.

She felt a bone-chilling cold attacking her. The next moment, she felt as though she was being toasted in an oven. On top of that, she had to endure the insufferable pain from the needles. She was in extreme agony.

“Keep her in the tub!” Zhao Chuchu ordered Chai Le immediately.

“Stop her from moving around.”

“This is so painful…” Chang Hong couldn’t help but cry out in pain. She subconsciously wanted to stand up and leave the bathtub.

“Think of the children you’re going to have and endure the pain,” instructed Zhao Chuchu coldly. She added, “If you can’t even bear this suffering, then forget about having children.”

When Chang Hong heard this, she gritted her teeth and put up with the process.

She told herself, “I’m not even afraid of death. This kind of pain is nothing to be afraid of.”

However, the effect of Zhao Chuchu’s acupuncture combined with the medicinal bath was too strong. In the end, Chang Hong could not withstand the agony and fainted.

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

Chai Le asked anxiously, “Mrs. Xie, what happened to her?”

“Don’t worry. She fainted but will wake up after a while,” Zhao Chuchu explained.

Chang Hong would soon wake up because it was too painful.

As expected, she regained her senses in less than 15 minutes.

“Can you still hold on?” Zhao Chuchu asked.

Right now, Chang Hong was covered in sweat and looked very frail.

“I think so,” she replied in a feeble voice.

“Mrs. Xie, can’t you seal her senses?

“I can’t.”

If Zhao Chuchu could, she would have sealed Chang Hong’s senses from the start, saving her from experiencing such extreme agony.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Chang Hong had to comfort her husband instead.

Chai Le wished he could take Chang Hong’s place and endure the pain on her behalf.

Zhao Chuchu said, “It’ll be better after this. Sister Hong, you can do this. Remember, you must soak in the medicinal bath for an hour. I’ll go out first. Brother Le, please take care of her.”

“Alright, I will.”

Zhao Chuchu examined the needles stabbed into Chang Hong’s meridians and ensured that each and every needle was in the correct position. Then, she left the room.

“Ah Hong, sorry for letting you go through this.” Chai Le felt sad when he saw

Chang Hong suffering in pain. He suggested, “Why don’t we stop the treatment and give up having children?”

“No. I like kids, and I want to give birth to one,” Chang Hong objected while shaking her head.

She had always liked children. It was just that her previous status prevented her from revealing her feelings.

Now, the Third Prince had already made them ordinary citizens. She could marry and have children like regular people, living out her days with her husband until their hair turned gray.

“But, like this, you will…”

“I am not even afraid of dying. This level of pain is nothing. Dear, don’t say such things anymore.”

Chai Le did not speak for a while.

Only people like them, who had crawled back countless times from death’s door, knew how precious life was.

He honestly did not wish to see Chang Hong suffer like this.

If they wanted children, wouldn’t it be the same if they adopted one?

Chang Hong insisted, so Chai Le dared not say anything else. He did not want to hurt her.

An hour passed by in a flash.

Even Chang Hong herself did not know how she managed to bear the pain for so long. For her, this hour felt longer than a year.

Zhao Chuchu came in, right on time. She asked Chang Hong to come out of the bathtub.

Chang Hong did not even have the strength to do so.

When Zhao Chuchu saw this, she said, “Brother Le, please hold on to Sister Hong. I’ll remove the needles, and you can carry her out of the tub.”

“Alright. ”

Chai Le gingerly held Chang Hong up. After all the needles were removed, she did not even have the energy to remain standing.

Chai Le immediately carried her into his arms, not worrying that his clothes would get wet. He sat her down on a chair, dried her, and clothed her.

“Sister Hong, do you feel your meridians are less clogged when you breathe?” asked Zhao Chuchu while sanitizing her needles.

Chang Hong tried drawing in a few breaths. Not only did she feel that her meridians were less congested now, but the ache she felt in her stomach whenever she exercised had also lessened.

“Mrs. Xie, I feel much more relaxed.”

Zhao Chuchu explained, “Today, I used strong medicine. You have also been soaked in there for an hour. If you didn’t feel any improvement, I would be unworthy of my title of Doctor Miracle. Fret not. You felt pain when you first started this medicinal bath therapy, but you’ll gradually feel better.”

“Will tomorrow’s bath not be as painful as today’s?” asked Chai Le.

“Hmm, it will be much better. However, for the first three baths, I recommend that Sister Hong take them once every other day.”

“We will follow whatever you instruct, Mrs. Xie.”

“Let Sister Hong stay in bed and rest for today and tomorrow. Don’t let her walk around and catch a cold. Even more so, avoid making her sweat.”

Chang Hong asked, “How is that possible?”

Chai Le said, “You just lie and rest. I will handle the rest of the chores.

Although my cooking skills are not as good as yours, it is still presentable.

Mrs. Xie, I hope you and Mr. Xie can bear with it for the time being.”

Zhao Chuchu nodded her head and answered, “Alright.”

Chai Le tucked Chang Hong into bed and then left the room to prepare dinner..
