Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Alright. Viola Thompson nodded slightly, Ill first relieve his pain, you go and help me buy some Chinese medicine.

Okay.

Is there paper and a pen? Viola then asked.

Yes. Adam Swantz turned around to get the items, Sister, wait a moment.

Soon, Adam came over with paper and a pen, Here you go, Sister.

Viola took the paper and pen, hurriedly wrote down a few names of medicinal herbs, and handed the list to Adam, Hurry up and come back.

Alright. Adam took the paper and ran out immediately.

Viola sat by the bed, put her hand on Terrence Lentzs forehead, and tested his temperature.

Then, she placed her hand on her own forehead.

Not bad.

No fever.

Meow.

Mantou jumped onto the bed, walked to Terrences face, meowed a few times, seemingly puzzled why Terrence was unresponsive, eventually stretched out its chubby little paw and gave Terrence a slap on the face.

Viola didnt expect Mantou to suddenly hit someone and picked it up, What are you doing? Youre not allowed to do that! Mantou meowed somewhat defiantly.

Viola put it down and took out her acupuncture kit.

Inside the acupuncture kit were thirty-six golden needles.

By the time Adam came back with the medicine, he saw this scene.

The young girl was sitting in front of the bed, holding a golden needle, and was inserting it one by one into Terrences body.

Each one was precisely inserted into an acupoint.

Crystal lamplights draped her in a layer of cold and light gauze.

From afar, there was an indescribable aura of martial arts agility.

Adam stood at the doorway of the room, stunned for a few seconds, then said,

Sister, Ive bought the medicine.

Hearing that, Viola glanced back, Do you know how to decoct medicine? Yes. Adam nodded.

Viola continued, Following the instructions on my paper, take it to the kitchen and decoct it.

Alright.

Terrence often took medicine, so his home wasnt short of medicinal pots.

Adam took the medicine to the kitchen, boiled it, came back to the bedroom, and asked, Sister, the medicine is decocting now. Anything else you need me to do?

Viola didnt pause her acupuncture, Then help me feed the cat. Theres canned food in my bag.bender

No need, there should be some here, Adam went to get the canned food, and added, My older brother really likes small animals, especially cats. He often feeds stray cats downstairs, so there are a lot of canned food at home.

An hour later, the medicine was ready.

The acupuncture treatment was also done by then.

Viola put the last golden needle back into the acupuncture bag, and a thin layer of sweat covered her fair forehead.

Adam sat by the bed to feed Terrence the medicine.

After the acupuncture, Terrences condition improved significantly, but he was still unconscious.

Adam was a bit anxious, Sister, when will my brother wake up?

Probably tomorrow morning.

Oh. Adam nodded.

Viola then asked, Is the kitchen over there?

Adam looked in the direction she was pointing, Yeah, Sister, are you hungry? I can go buy you something.

No need for the hassle, Ill just cook something simple.

That works too. The refrigerator has everything. Adam added, Once I finish feeding my brother the medicine, Ill come and help you.

Alright.

Viola acknowledged and walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen was spacious, with all kinds of kitchen utensils and a wide variety of ingredients in the refrigerator.

Viola took out two bags of instant noodles, a box of green vegetables, and two sausages.

In no time, the kitchen filled with the aroma of instant noodles.

Adam rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, Sister, do you need

Ive already cooked it. Viola scooped a bowl of instant noodles, l made too much, do you want a bowl too?

Feeling peckish from all the work, Adam responded, Then I wont be polite. Thank you, Sister.

Youre welcome, Viola took a bite of the noodles, My cooking skills arent great, so dont complain.

Im not picky, Sister.

With just instant noodles, even if her cooking skills were terrible, they shouldnt be inedible.

Moreover, the instant noodles smelled really good, the taste shouldnt be bad either.

Adam picked up his chopsticks and took a big bite.

Then, his chewing stopped abruptly.

This

Were these really just mediocre cooking skills?

Adam couldnt help but wonder how Viola managed to make instant noodles taste so bad!

Seeing Viola enjoying her noodles, Adam began to doubt if their bowls of noodles had been cooked in the same pot..
