"It's not a migraine?" Ren Jiawei had heard that Xuan Kang had real skills, and she was somewhat nervous, "He's been taking pain medication for over ten years."
Ji Shaorong lowered his gaze to his wrist, silent, simply pondering.
Hen Zhiwei soothed Ren Jiawei with a few words, then continued to ask Ji Shaojun when he had started to fall ill.
Traditional Chinese medicine interprets migraines as a blockage in the liver meridian.
But Ji Shaorong's pulse did not suggest a sluggish flow; it was tight and without perspiration.
"Nearly twenty years now…" Ji Shaorong recalled past events.
When Ren Jiawei was in a car accident that resulted in a premature birth from shock, he had already been working overtime due to her expected delivery date. Having been tense without rest, he fainted on the road before even making it to the hospital. Fortunately, Secretary Zhou was there at the time to arrange everything properly.
