PART 104 – HOU LEI’S SICKNESS_2

That night, Lei Hwa was better in her injury, she tried to make mind connect with Hou Lei but she could not. She tried to define the status of Hou Lei and felt the high-temperature Hou Lei was suffering. She got worried and knew what happened to her daughter, she tried to connect with the book of Hou Ma tribe to find out a way to help Hou Lei. After reading some pages in the book, she found a list of herbs needed to prepare the medicine.

In the early morning of the next day, Lei Hwa woke up very early and she went to the mountain near the royal city to find the herbs she needed. Those herbs were very rare to use normally, so the medicine stores would not have them. It took her more than half of a day to find five important herbs on the list. She returned to the royal city and walked into the medicine store where Tian Liam used to lead Hou Lei to, and she bought some more herbs. The owner of the store now recognized that she and Hou Lei looked similar.

-Madam, there was a young lady, she came here several times, she had the style in choosing herbs just like you, and more, she looked like you. – The owner said.

-Well, maybe people look like others. – Lei Hwa replied.

-But I think the style can’t be the same as that.

-I have been in this business for more than thirty years, and you two are the first time I saw someone mixing the herbs like that.

-I hope that you’re right, I have a daughter, and she married a guy living very far from our hometown. It’s for almost three years and I missed her so much.

-I can understand your feeling, every parent loves their children much.

-Now I heard that she is suffering a sickness, I buy these herbs to help her.

-What a caress mother! I hope your daughter will get her health back soon.

-Thank you, this is yours! – Lei Hwa paid to the man and left.

On the way back to her motel room, Lei Hwa met Miang Xiang.

-Luckily, I meet you here! – Miang Xiang said.

-Luckily? Do I know you? – Lei Hwa surprised.

-I’m Miang Xiang and more than that, could we get back to your room and I will explain to you.

-Well, I think I’ve met you one time, but you said you didn’t know me.

-Okay, Okay, I’m Miang Miang, do you remember my name?

-Miang Miang, no way… - Lei Hwa was shocked.

-Yup, it’s me. I’ll show you the evidence, but not public like this.

-Okay, let’s get back to my room.

At Lei Hwa's room, Miang Xiang opened the clothes on her shoulder to show Lei Hwa a signal on her skin. Lei Hwa was more shocked to see that.

-You’re… you’re actually Miang Miang. How can this be?

-I will explain to you later, but now, there is something more important.

-So that’s the reason you come to meet me?

-Yup, your daughter is in danger, she…

-She gets a fever. – Lei Hwa interrupted Miang Xiang. – And her status is very strange, like she is captured in something and can’t escape.

-How do you know that?

-Mind contact, don’t you remember about that?

-Well, I know it, but I don’t have the ability to learn enough about it.

-You should learn more carefully, if that day…

-Don’t need to remind me of the painful past! What we need to focus on now is how to treat Hou Lei. I’m afraid that in a few days more, she can’t stand with that.

-I understand, that’s why I went to the mountain this morning to find the herbs, luckily, I have enough herbs for the medicine.

-You’re always the best in medical treatments.

-But what I worry about is how to bring the medicine to Hou Lei. I can’t get in the palace and moreover, I can’t use magic to get in.

-I know someone who can help us to give Hou Lei medicine.

-That’s good! I believe in you, Miang Miang, you can come back here tomorrow to get the medicine, I need some time to prepare it.

-Okay, I’ll come back tomorrow, that person will meet me on the morning of tomorrow too, so that, I will be here a little bit early.

After Miang Xiang left, Lei Hwa borrowed a pot from the motel and got some water into the pot. She chanted a spell and put the herbs into the pot. She continuously transferred magic from her hand to the pot making the pot shine brightly.

In the palace, Tian Liam was feeling down very much. He looked emotionless to Hou Lei laying on the bed without any concern about him. He did not even touch the food prepared for him. Tian Liang knocked on the door before getting into the room.

-Tian Liam, you don’t care about your health? So who will take care of her when you get sick too? – Tian Liang looked at the tray of food on the table.

-I can’t even think anything, Second Brother! – He replied.

-You must be strong to have enough health to look after her, she needs you most this time.

-But I’m useless with her situation now.

-I have found someone can help us. She promised to help, we will now the answer tomorrow.

-Really? – His eyes shined brightly. – Can she really help us?

-I have no idea, but it’s worth to give a try than don’t do anything.

-Yup, hope that she can help Hou Lei.

-However, brother, do you want when your wife wakes up, she will see your emaciated face like this. She will get worried about you more.

-I know that, I must eat for not letting Hou Lei worried.

He took the bowl on the table and picked food into his mouth continuously. Tian Liang shook his head and sat down next to him.

-Slow down, my little brother! But I need you to believe in me.

-I believe in you, brother, you’ve never lied to me.

-Thank you for believing me. Because many doctors say they don’t know what happened to Hou Lei, so we need to find a way to cover the truth in case the medicine from that lady can help Hou Lei.

-I know, I know. – He nodded while still eating. – Don’t worry, Hou Lei will find a way easily when she wakes up, you know her, right?
