Qi Huaying asked, "Won't you need to take medicine?"
"Taking medicine would speed up the process, but it will also get better on its own without it."
Qi Huaying nodded slightly, feeling somewhat reassured.
She called Qiang Wei over to take the white cat away and then looked at Lu Tong, "Doctor Lu."
Lu Tong bowed in respect.
"I heard that something happened to Envoy Cui and that you replaced the medical officer who was attending to my brother. I wanted to find a chance to speak with you, but I heard from the people at my brother's residence that you were very busy, so I dropped the idea. If it hadn't been for the cat's illness, I would not have come to see you today," she said.
"My brother's sickness has been tormenting him, and you have had a hard time these past few days."
Lu Tong replied, "It is just my duty, Miss, you needn't be polite."
Qi Huaying lay on the low couch, covered her mouth and smiled, sizing her up discreetly.
