Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 Are You Serious?

Victoria had always followed Willow's lead. So she didn't ask why, though she didn't understand.

...

After entering the center of the city, Charlotte looked for a long time before finding a pharmacy, but the Radix Aristolochiae she wanted to buy was off, so she had to make an appointment to get it next time.

One medical recipe needed the Radix Aristolochiae, while the other didn't need it. Charlotte had no choice but to try the one first.

After having a simple lunch in the city, Charlotte thought for a moment, went to a supermarket, and bought some small snacks. She wanted to take them back to distribute to the infected children. Then she started working again in the afternoon.

In the evening, Charlotte found a few cans and came back to decoct the herbs, and she personally guarded decocting. After making the herbal soup, she tasted it first. She felt that there should be no problem, but she suddenly thought it was useless for her to drink it because she was not infected with Virus-7602. Therefore, she filled a bowl and wanted to find someone to try the medicine.

Different from modern medicine, traditional medicine was relatively mild. As long as toxic herbs were not used, even healthy people would have no problem with a bowl of herbal soup. Charlotte knew this very well, but others didn't believe it. As soon as a paramedic heard her words, she immediately said, "No! I appreciate you volunteers, but this is not the reason for you to cause trouble! It's a life-threatening thing, and you can't let someone try this casually."

Charlotte actually knew that it was difficult for the paramedic to believe her, but she had confidence in her medical recipe. She said softly, "I am at least 60% sure this is helpful. Please give me a chance."

The paramedic said, "Little girl, there are experts working overtime on special medicines. Don't worry about it. Go back to sleep quickly. You've got work tomorrow."

Charlotte pressed her lips and wanted to say something else, but the paramedic no longer planned to talk to her. In order to prevent her, the paramedic also didn't allow her to approach the infected area again.

Charlotte went back dejectedly with the medicine. Madison leaned against the door with her arms crossed over her chest. When she saw Charlotte coming back, she asked coldly, "Why did you do this?"

Charlotte raised her eyes and glanced at Madison, her face fair and tender in the moonlight. She said softly, "I just want to do something within my power."

Madison said, "But no one believes you."

Charlotte said, "Whether to do it or not is my business, and it has nothing to do with whether others believe me or not."

Madison looked at her a little confused, but didn't ask any more questions.

Charlotte tidied up her small medicine cans. The next day, she pleaded with the paramedic again, but she was refused. Even some patients waved their hands quickly when they heard Charlotte's words. "Even if I die, I want to die comfortably. Nobody knows what will happen after drinking this dark concoction!"

Charlotte quickly explained, "Even if people who are not sick drink it, they will be fine."

She drank half a bowl herself and said, "See, I'm not telling a lie. Try it! If there is a problem, I can change the medical recipe..."

"You said yourself that there is a problem!" A middle-aged woman said, "Are we the mice that give you a drug test? You like to be in the limelight at such a young age. Do you take human life seriously or not?"

"That's it!" Another man said, "It's miserable enough for us to get this damn disease. We only have the last few days to live. Can you just spare us and let us live comfortably?"

Some people were willing to give it a try, but the world's prejudice against traditional medicine was too great. When they saw the dark concoction, they gave up. Everly and her mother wanted to help Charlotte, but they were stopped by a few people. They muttered, "Don't go! We might be saved if we don't drink it! Didn't you hear the doctor say that there will be special medicines soon? It's probably that you will die immediately after drinking this thing now!"
