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!"

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.
