“Don’t be so sure. Even anyone who was made of iron wouldn’t be able to cope with your daily drinking habits. Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you should act carelessly. An’an is still young, and the only person she can trust is you. You must continue to live. Otherwise, An’an will be placed in an orphanage if you die. Can you handle that?”

Chu Qiao purposefully gave it a more somber tone.

Lulu’s face changed, and she fell into thought. 

She didn’t even dare imagine what would happen if her daughter were sent to an orphanage. An’an was sickly and timid, if she went there, she would definitely be bullied.

“That won’t happen. I won’t let An’an go to an orphanage. I’m still in good health. I can hold on for a few more years.” 

Lulu gave a bitter smile. She understood all the reasoning. She didn’t like drinking either. But she had to make money.

No matter how fast she earned it, it still couldn’t keep up with how fast the hospital spent it. 

Every trip to the hospital reduced her savings to zero. These past years, An’an had survived only because Lulu kept throwing money at her treatment. Otherwise, that girl would never have reached her current age.

At the doorway, Amei’s expression turned suspicious.

A child?

Kaisailu* had a child?

*Kaisailu is a mocking nickname from 开塞露, a Chinese enema/laxative medicine.

And from the sound of it, the child was sick, seriously sick. No wonder Kaisailu* was risking her life for money.

Chu Qiao took a glass bottle from her bag and handed it to Lulu. 

“In the past, my ancestors worked as imperial doctors in the palace. This medication recipe has been handed down through the family. It should function rather effectively and sustain the heart. Let An’an try it if you trust me. Don’t worry, it won’t kill her even if it doesn’t help. One pill every day. Drink it after dissolving it in warm water. Avoid eating seafood, meat, mutton, or other stimulating meals while taking it. Maintain a modest diet and engage in moderate exercise. You should see results within a month at the latest.”

Lulu stared blankly at the bottle as though stunned. 

After a long while, she finally reacted, took it carefully, and asked, “You’re a doctor?”

“No. My dad’s the doctor. I only know how to prepare medicine. You’ve seen Boss Tang’s scalp, haven’t you? That whole head of hair grew back because of the hair-growth medicine I made.”

Afraid Lulu might not believe her, Chu Qiao used Tang Yaozu as an example. 

Lulu’s eyes lit up at once. 

The bar girls had all been gossiping behind Tang Boss’s back, wondering if he was wearing a wig. 

Overnight, he had gone from a Mediterranean bald patch to a primeval forest. They had all been insanely jealous.

“Then I’ll let An’an try it. How much? I’ll pay you.” Lulu said, having made up her mind. She believed Chu Qiao.

After all, Chu Qiao and her husband had saved her life. They definitely wouldn’t trick her. 

Besides, the hospital had said the only option was a heart transplant, but An’an was too young, the surgery was too dangerous, and there wasn’t even a suitable donor heart. 

Lulu would have given her own heart to her daughter if the hospital could have done it.

Lulu was at her wits’ end and the hospital had already run out of effective treatments. 

Then Chu Qiao produced this medication out of nowhere. She had to give it a shot, even if it meant giving medicine to a dead horse*. 

*The expression “to give medicine to a dead horse” refers to continuing to attempt everything in a dire circumstance. It also refers to making the final effort, even when he is aware that there is no treatment for the condition. 

And somewhere deep down, Lulu had a strange feeling that this bottle of medicine could really cure her daughter.

“Don’t pay for this bottle yet, try it first. If it works, then you can pay me.” Chu Qiao refused. 

“Thank you. Let me bow to you.”

Lulu felt terribly embarrassed and bent in a deep bow, but she wobbled and nearly fell. 

Chu Qiao caught her. 

“Don’t thank me yet. Let’s wait and see the results first.”

“Okay!”

Lulu grinned broadly and nodded. Suddenly there was light in her bloodshot eyes. She was quite happy about it. 

It seemed as though she could already picture her energetic, healthy daughter sprinting in her direction, able to play and leap like any other child.

“You know how to create medication that promotes hair growth? Are women able to utilize it as well? What is the price? I’d like to purchase some!”

Amei pushed the door open and came in, grabbing Chu Qiao by the arm and looking at her eagerly.

She needed hair-growth medicine more than anyone. Her scalp wasn’t much better than Boss Tang’s.
