Chapter 955: [Bonus chapter] Pills
Raelle went to see Grandfather Xiang and met Xia Zhao again who was sitting with Grandfather Xiang. She greeted him just as politely as she did the first time they met.
"I heard you already met, Zhao," said Grandfather Xiang.
"We met at the temple the other day," answered Raelle.
Grandfather Xiang nodded his head while smiling. Raelle looked at his smiling face once more. It was not every day you'd see Grandfather Xiang smiling this amicably around people. But from this, it showed that Xia Zhao had a very high position in Grandfather Xiang's heart.
"He came to see you here," told Grandfather Xiang.
Raelle looked at Xia Zhao and asked, "Me? I wonder why is that so. How can I help Mr. Xia Zhao?"
Xia Zhao pulled out a porcelain bottle and placed it on the table saying, "Someone asked me to deliver it to you."
Raelle picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully. Underneath the bottle was a symbol that gave her the idea of who sent it, "It's from the gentleman with green eyes."
"You can tell?" asked Xia Zhao in surprise as he raised his brow at her.
She showed him the symbol on the bottle saying, "He used a handkerchief which had the same symbol embroidered at the right corner. Not only that, the same symbol was engraved on his belt as well. So, I believe I'm not mistaken."
"You're very conservative," commented Xia Zhao. "So, the rumors about you are not exaggerated. Raelle Xiang can really see what others can't. It's good to know that." His smile deepened making him look even more handsome than he already was. "This is indeed from Young Master Ru."
Raelle opened the cap of the small bottle and a refreshing medicinal scent spread in the air. "He sent me medicine?"
"Not a very good choice of gifts but this is what you need the most right now," replied Xia Zhao.
"Yenay, you met the Xia family's young master Ru?" asked Grandfather Xiang.
Raelle nodded her head, "Yes. He was a very interesting person to be around."
"He is worse than you when it comes to feelings, of course, you'd find him interesting," commented Grandfather Xiang.
"What do you mean, Opa?" asked Raelle.
"Nothing, forget it." Grandfather Xiang sighed to himself softly and turned to Xia Zhao. "Why don't you tell her what this medicine is for?"
Xia Zhao looked at Raelle and told her, "Young Master Ru took your pulse and..."
"Is something wrong with me?"
"Nothing that serious," said Xia Zhao. "It's just that from your pulse, he knew that you had a miscarriage recently." Raelle listened with interest because she didn't think just a pulse could tell that much. "There are only three pills in the bottle you have to take one pill for three days. It's just to condition your body and help you recover faster." He took a pause and added, "You can send it to a lab to get it checked before taking the pills."
"There is no need to send the pills to the lab," said Grandfather Xiang.
"Uncle, even if you trust me, I think you should be careful. After all, it's related to your precious granddaughter's health."
"You don't need to tell me that," was Grandfather Xiang's response. "It's not my trust in you but also in your Young Master Ru. With the Xia family and Xiang family's history, I don't have to doubt." He looked at Raelle, "You can trust me and take these pills. I assure you, nothing will go wrong."
Raelle was silent throughout this. She observed her grandfather for a while and realized that he was serious. He really trusted either the Young Master Ru or the family he came from. Either way, it was something new to her. She had always seen how protective and over-cautious her grandfather had been when it comes to matters related to her. From a young age, he made sure to check everything carefully that she had to eat or use.
But now, he was willing to trust just like that.
"Then I'll take the pills," she replied. "Thank you, Mr. Xia Zhao. And you can convey my gratitude to Mr. Ru as well."
"I sure will," replied Xia Zhao.
"You can just call him uncle. Or just call him by his name like you do with Chenyan. Don't be so formal around him," said Grandfather Xiang.
"Uncle is right. You don't have to be so formal with me," agreed Xia Zhao.
Raelle nodded her head as she placed the medicine bottle aside, she took out something from her pocket and showed it to Grandfather Xiang, "Opa, Mr. Ru gave this as a first meeting gift. He said he is an elder, so he should give me a first meeting gift."
Grandfather Xiang looked at the white jade she held and said, "Don't listen to that old soul. He is in the same generation as you. Just a few years older but acts like an old man. Tsk. He used to act that way when he was a kid, I can imagine how worse his old man act could be now."
Xia Zhao pursed his lips to suppress his laughter. Mentally, he gave Grandfather Xiang a thumbs up for surmising Ru like that. Indeed, that idiot was always like an old sage not even caring that he was just in his early thirties. Was it okay to act like he was one step away from immortality or something?
"You should keep the jade though," said Grandfather Xiang. "He gave it as a gift, there is no harm in keeping it. It's good for you." After all, white jade was good for health.
"It's not a simple jade though," Raelle pointed it out.
"My darling granddaughter, it's a very simple jade to the one who gave it to you. Don't think so much and keep it always close to your body. In fact, the next time you meet Ru, ask that fake old sage to carve this jade into your favorite shape for you. Then you can use it as a pendant."
"I like that idea," said Xia Zhao.
Raelle looked at the two and silently agreed. She'll have to see if she meets Mr. Ru again or not.
