Chapter 910: Chapter 913 Turning Point
At this moment, Qiao Duo’er stood beneath the shade of a tree.
She suddenly noticed a leaf drifting down from a book, turning to mud upon hitting the ground; perhaps that was the fate of Almond.
The scene before her stirred emotions, and a sense of helplessness grew in her heart.
She thought she could save the world because she carried the halo of time-travel.
But the truth was that she couldn’t even save her own Maid who followed her every day; it turned out she was not the protagonist of the world, nor was she omnipotent.
"You were truly kind to Almond, and she would only be grateful to you," Granny Su consoled.
Meeting an Owner like the Tan Family, Almond would certainly die peacefully.
"But she doesn’t want to die."
Qiao Duo’er spoke slowly; she had only looked at Almond once, but she saw her intense will to live.
Granny Su sighed, "If the King of Hell wants someone to die at the third watch, who dares to keep them until the fifth watch? This is all fate, Madam, please come to terms with it."
Qiao Duo’er nodded in agreement; fate indeed wasn’t something she could completely control.
For example, she couldn’t refuse to time-travel, just as she couldn’t bring Almond back.
At some point, the person by her side had changed to Tan Zhenghong.
He simply stood quietly, accompanying his wife in her sorrow.
He hated himself for being of no help.
Lunchtime came, but no one had an appetite.
The meal was prepared by Granny Su—colorful, fragrant, and flavorful—but to them, it might as well have been chewing wax.
"Everyone must eat up; each person should at least have one bowl of rice," Qiao Duo’er ordered.
Almond had already become like this; she did not want anyone else to fall like Almond did.
"Yes," Granny Su said, leading by example as she picked up her bowl.
The dying cannot be retained, but those alive must continue to live well.
After the meal, Granny Su began cutting paper money, Qing Yue cleaned and changed Almond, dressing her in her finest clothes.
They were preparing for the afterlife; everyone knew it but no one spoke of it, each silently immersed in their tasks.
Qing Yue suddenly ran out from the room, excitedly saying, "Good news, Almond is getting better, she’s not going to die!"
"Could it be Back to Light?" Qing Xin’s mouth was quicker than her brain.
As soon as she said it, she regretted it, thinking she should have sewn her mouth shut.
Qing Yue rolled her eyes at Qing Xin: "Stop spouting nonsense, I just checked Almond’s pulse, and it’s much stronger than yesterday."
Qing Xin expressed disbelief and immediately donned protective clothing to enter Almond’s room.
After a short while, she too came out smiling.
"It’s true! Her forehead isn’t as hot as before!"
Hearing the news, Qiao Duo’er immediately rushed out, "Did you change Almond’s medicine today?"
"No, it’s still the prescription the young master gave, and she’s had it twice, both times brewed by me," Qing Yue shook her head.
Everything remained the same, which is why she found it incredible.
If the medicine was supposed to take effect after a few days, Lord Qin would have surely sent someone to report, since the patients in the quarantine area never ran out of medicine.
"Could it be that Almond, a good person, has her own luck?"
Granny Su tentatively asked, was there any other explanation?
Perhaps heaven was moved by the kindness of her family’s Madam, and decided to return Almond, it was not impossible.
Qiao Duo’er’s first reaction was that someone else had time-traveled, but that was a small probability event, and even less likely to happen to her family.
She didn’t believe in the supernatural, so the only possibility was that the medicine had taken effect.
But the medicine hadn’t changed, and neither had the brewing method, so what was the issue?
Soon, Qiao Duo’er understood: "It’s musk!"
The musk here was a scent refined by Bai Yifan; worried about the strong smell in Almond’s room, she had Qing Xin bring some over, never expecting it would have a beneficial effect on her illness!
