The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 424 The Medicine Tastes Odd

"No problem," Willa responded.

Later on, she asked Susan to get a servant and explained the massaging techniques to Susan while giving the maid a massage.

Willa taught her seriously, and Susan learned solemnly.

After a few hours, Susan's movements were almost there.

"Am I doing it right?" Susan asked Willa while massaging the servant.

"You're off a little. There is an acupoint in this position, and it'll only be comfortable if you apply pressure here," Willa advised her.

Susan made some changes solemnly. "How about now?"

She looked back at Willa but saw that she looked tired.

Susan could not help but feel embarrassed. "I'm so sorry. I've lost track of time. You must be tired, Ms. Doyle. Sorry to have bothered you today."

"It's nothing." Willa smiled.

Susan asked the servant to leave them and then grinned calmly at Willa. "Ms. Doyle, I still owe you an earnest apology. Yesterday... Actually, I was feeling fine yesterday, but I went overboard because I was jealous of you and Julian. I now know that I've misunderstood. I am really sorry."

Willa squinted at Susan before a resplendent smile appeared on her face. "It's okay, just let it go. Mrs.

Shaw, you don't have to be so polite to me. Just call me Willie."

"Okay, Willie. Then you should just call me Susie," Susan asserted cheerfully.

"Susie." Willa adapted immediately.

The two girls exchanged a glance and smiled. The atmosphere was very harmonious. It was a pity that one of them had a magnanimous mind, while the other had a scheme on her mind. After opening up to Willa, Susan obviously felt a lot more relaxed. The two of them chatted and laughed, and their relationship improved a lot.

When Julian came back, he was very pleased to replace out that Susan and Willa had gotten closer to each other.

At night, Julian spiked the milk Susan drank before going to bed with a sleeping pill.

When Susan fell asleep, he called Willa in.

Willa took out a special instrument and took Susan's blood. Then, she said, "I'll check the current virus content in her blood first. I will treat her immediately when the result is out." "Okay, thanks," Julian said courteously.

"It's nothing. I made Joseph a promise, so I'll definitely do my best." Willa rolled her hair up gracefully. "I shall leave for now."

Julian saw Willa off and then sat back on the bed and gazed at Susan silently.

'Susie, there is finally a way to save you. You will truly recover soon.'

Julian leaned over and kissed Susan on the forehead with indescribable affection in his eyes.

Everything went smoothly now that Willa had moved in.

Julian put Susan to sleep every night and then asked Willa to diagnose her in private.

Julian did not believe Willa completely. After each treatment, he would still take Susan's blood to the research lab for another diagnosis.

However, the results proved that the content of the Errol Virus in Susan's blood was indeed decreasing.

Susan's condition was improving. Willa was not lying.

On the other hand, Susan learned massaging techniques from Willa and took the initiative to give Madam Shaw a two-hour massage daily.

After a few sessions, it was obvious that Madam Shaw had lowered her tone when talking to Susan.

The relationship between them was also improving.

When Susan told Serenity about Willa, Serenity did not believe that Julian and Willa were innocent. She came over to the Straws to visit a few times but let her doubts go after discovering that there was indeed nothing shady between Julian and Willa and she never told anyone about the incident at the hotel.

One month had passed.

The relationship between Susan and Willa had been getting better and better. The two of them often went out shopping and had afternoon tea, which made them look like close sisters.

Because of Willa, Susan's condition kept getting better, so Julian was naturally glad to see them get along.

There was only one thing that was worrisome.

Whenever the weather changed, Madam Shaw's migraines would get much more serious than usual.

Susan gave Madam Shaw a meticulous massage, but she was still frowning after the treatment, so Susan could not help but say, "Let me start from the beginning once again."

"No." Willa stopped Susan. "A full session is enough. Anything extra will only have the opposite effect."

Madam Shaw saw the sincere care beaming in Susan's eyes and felt a sense of solace in her heart. She then said with a smile, "It's okay, it's already an old illness. It relapses around this time of the year, but it'll get better when the weather stabilizes."

"Is there no other way around this illness?" Susan could not help but ask.

"Who knows," Madam Shaw replied casually. "The effect of the Chinese medicine that I've been taking was marvelous. However, after drinking it for a long time, the effect is not so obvious now."

A migraine struck as she was explaining, so she could not help but frown.

"Nana, Chessie can blow on it. The pain will go away when you blow it." Chesney stood up and blew lightly at Madam Shaw's head.

Madam Shaw's face relaxed a little.

She was not a person who could not tell apart the good from the bad, so she had started to regret her actions after getting to spend some time with Susan and Chesney.

Perhaps, she really had done something wrong?

Okay, it was only right to let bygones be bygones anyhow. She should not let Julian get caught in the middle all the time. She would not bring up the grudge between her and Susan as long as Susan gave birth to a boy. She was already old, and she did not want to sulk around the young anymore.

As soon as Madam Shaw came back to her senses, the atmosphere at home became even more harmonious.

Julian, who was rejoicing in the reconciliation of the two women, had been smiling a lot more recently.

That day, Madam Shaw had to routinely drink her medicine.

The servant brought the medicine, and Madam Shaw drank it in one gulp habitually. She then furrowed her brows and complained, "Why does the medicine taste more bitter than usual?" She looked at the servant while saying that.

The servant responded immediately, "Ma'am, it's the same prescription and dosage. The taste should be the same."

"Then it might be me." Madam Shaw did not take it to heart.

However, when she got up to leave and have a nap, she felt dizzy all of a sudden. She then vomited a mouthful of blood in front of everybody else and dropped to the ground. "What happened?" Madam Shaw looked awful. Susan, who was shocked, said at once, "Quick, get her to the hospital!"

Julian rushed over when Madam Shaw was taken to the emergency department.

"What happened to mom?" He stared at the tightly-shut doors with red eyes.

Even though she had done too many wrong deeds, she was his mother after all! Julian would not know how to deal with it if something were to happen to Madam Shaw.
