My Ares Son-in-Law

Although his body was already shaky and he looked as if a gust of wind could blow him down, his eyes were still firm, showing a reverence for life and a fearlessness for challenges.

Ten minutes is usually just a short period of time, but at this moment, it seems as long as a century.

Every second passed quietly in tension and anticipation, and the room was filled with a depressing and mysterious atmosphere.

Xiao Chen stared at the patient intently, not daring to blink even once, for fear of missing any subtle changes.

Finally, the patient's body slowly fell down, like a light feather, and returned steadily to the bed.

The light in the room gradually dimmed and disappeared, as if a gorgeous fireworks show had come to an end, and everything returned to calm.

Xiao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves finally relaxing a little, just like a bowstring that had been stretched to the extreme and could finally relax a little.

He secretly judged in his heart that there should be no problem with the first stage of treatment, and it was only a matter of time before the patient woke up.

It was like groping in the dark for a long time and finally seeing a ray of light, which made him feel a little relieved.

But he also knew that this could only sustain his life for three days. These three days were like a reprieve given by the god of death to the patient, short but precious.

If you want to recover completely, you need to take a special pill.

The preparation of the elixir was extremely complicated, as if it were a carefully choreographed magic ritual, and there could not be the slightest mistake in every step.

The required medicinal materials are also extremely precious. Some grow on cliffs, and some are hidden in deep mountains and forests. Collecting them all is harder than climbing to the sky.

"If I had known it would consume so much energy, I should have ordered more antiques! Never mind, I'll just consider it as a discount for customers." Xiao Chen smiled self-deprecatingly. There was a hint of fatigue in his smile, as if he was a traveler who had a long journey in the desert and was extremely thirsty but still had to force himself to smile.

He stood up, his legs a little numb from staying in the same position for a long time, as if countless ants were crawling on them.

He moved his legs, and the joints made a creaking sound, as if protesting the sudden movement.

He straightened his messy clothes, which were soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to his body, making him feel very uncomfortable.

He pushed open the door and looked at the people outside with a hint of inquiry and expectation in his eyes.

He said bluntly, "It's going pretty smoothly. The people inside are almost waking up. Is the money I want ready?"

Although the voice was a little hoarse, it was full of power, as if declaring that his efforts were not in vain, and as if reminding everyone that his efforts should be rewarded.

Everyone looked at Xiao Chen, who was soaking wet and exhausted, with surprise on their faces, as if they had seen some incredible sight.

Their eyes were full of confusion, like people groping in the dark who suddenly encountered an incomprehensible mystery, not understanding why the treatment made them so embarrassed, as if they had experienced a thrilling, life-and-death battle.

Xiao Chen's clothes were sticking tightly to his body, and sweat was still dripping from his forehead, dripping onto the ground and splashing small water droplets. His appearance was truly pitiful.

"Master, is it true? Is my husband really going to wake up?" Mother Liu asked in disbelief, full of doubt and with a tremor in her voice.

She took a step forward, her steps were somewhat anxious and staggering, her hands clenched tightly together, her knuckles turned white from the force. There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes, that light was like a faint candlelight flickering in the cold night, which could go out at any time, but she was afraid that this was just an illusory dream, which would vanish once she woke up.

She stared at Xiao Chen closely, as if trying to find a positive answer from his face.

Xiao Chen nodded slightly. His movements were light, but they carried an unquestionable firmness.

He didn't say much, but just looked at Liu's mother with slightly tired but confident eyes, as if telling her that everything was under his control.

"Thank you so much... Thank you Master, Aning, for taking you to pick out an antique." Mother Liu said excitedly, her voice trembling slightly with excitement. That voice was like a cheerful piece of music, full of joy and gratitude.

Her eyes were full of gratitude, and tears were welling up in her eyes, as if they would burst out at any time.

She stretched out her hand, wanting to hold Xiao Chen's hand to express her gratitude, but she hesitated. In the end, she just waved her hand gently, indicating Liu Yuning to take Xiao Chen to choose antiques.

Just as Liu's mother was calling out to Liu Yuning, Liu Yuning rushed forward. He was as fast as the wind, his face full of anger and disdain.

He yelled, "Mom! Look carefully, Dad is not awake at all, he is still lying in bed! How dare you believe what this liar said? He deliberately made himself look like this just to cheat us out of our money!"

His voice was sharp and piercing, echoing around the room.

There was malice flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Xiao Chen and all his disguises and conspiracies.

He put his hands on his hips and leaned forward slightly, like a fighting cock ready to attack at any time.

Doctor Huang also snorted coldly, his face full of contempt.

The corners of his mouth turned downward, revealing a look of contempt, as if he had seen the dirtiest thing in the world.

He crossed his arms over his chest and said disdainfully, "You are still young and you don't learn well. You just want to cheat people to make money. I feel ashamed for you. You don't even know how much you are capable of. You dare to speak nonsense here and even want to deceive everyone with this method."

His voice was full of sarcasm and contempt, as if Xiao Chen was just a clown who was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

Liu Yulian stood aside, her heart like a lake blown up by a strong wind, rippling with complex layers of ripples.

Although she wanted to say something for Xiao Chen, her lips moved slightly, as if she had thousands of words to say, but when the words reached her lips, she closed them abruptly.

Her eyes were full of confusion and hesitation. Looking at her father still unconscious on the bed, she felt that it was too incredible for her father to wake up, just like a fairy tale.

Unless a miracle really happened, she found it hard to believe that the young man in front of her could create such a miracle.

Could it be that Xiao Chen was really a liar? This thought kept circling in her mind, filling her heart with contradictions and struggles.

Her eyes wandered between Xiao Chen and her father lying on the bed, sometimes looking at Xiao Chen's slightly tired yet stubborn face, and sometimes looking at her father's lifeless face, as if looking for an answer that would convince her.

Xiao Chen glanced at everyone coldly. His eyes were as sharp as a blade, as if they could penetrate everyone's body and see through their deepest thoughts. (End of this chapter)
