Chapter 8
Chapter 8 Was She a Human Or a Ghost “This is wild Ginseng and this is wild Ganoderma…” Su Jiaobai was so excited that she was like a little girl who had found a fairy tale world. Her face was full of happy smiles. In the past twelve years, she had not wasted her time. Instead, she worked hard to learn all kinds of pharmacology. It was not an exaggeration to say that the knowledge she mastered in Chinese medicine was definitely not much worse than those students who graduated from a Chinese medicine university. Chen Fan was also quite surprised, and his eyes were full of splendor. At this time, Su Jiaobai found a very special herb by the pond. She squatted down and carefully looked at this herb. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes lit up as if she thought of something. She said in shock, “This, this is actually a Fireweed.”
“You even know Fireweed?” Chen Fan was surprised again. Fireweed was very demanding of its environment. It usually grew in places where there was both fire and ice. Chen Fan was sure that in the present medical world, only very few people could recognize this herb. “I once bought an ancient book from a stall and saw pictures of this herb. Unfortunately, the book was burned in the fire twelve years ago.” Su Jiaobai clicked her tongue and said, “I didn’t expect this pond to be a hot spring.” “These precious herbs are the necessary herbs to treat your injuries.” After saying that, Chen Fan began to clean up the moss and plants on the stone
slabs.
Not long after, a piece of white jade that emitted a cold chill appeared in front of Su Jiaobai. Just as Su Jiaobai was shocked, Chen Fan walked to her side, took off the hat on her head, and gently lifted her chin. This face was full of startling scars. He reached out and gently touched the scars on it. The uneven touch made him feel as if the flesh in his heart had been cut off by a knife. It was a heart-wrenching pain. It was all because of him. She would not have been like this if she hadn’t sacrificed her life to save him from the fire, and she would not have had to endure the Su

Chapter 8 Was She a Human Or a Ghost family’s contempt and humiliation. All of a sudden, he felt his nose sour, and a trace of heartache appeared on his resolute face. He said guiltily, “Jiaobai, I’m sorry. I’ve made you suffer for the past twelve years!”
Su Jiaobai didn’t dare to raise her head to look at Chen Fan’s gaze. She only felt her heartbeat inexplicably quicken. She didn’t know and didn’t dare to ask why this man was so good to her. If he really cured her, how would she face her sister and family in the future? After all, he was her brother-in-law. At this moment, Chen Fan did not know the struggle in her heart. He reached out and held her cold hand full of scars. He said softly, “Believe me, I will definitely cure your injury.” Time flew by. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. During this half month, Su Jiaobai soaked in the hot spring during the day to circulate the blood in her body. At night, she sat cross-legged on the cold jade and absorbed the essence of the moonlight. Compared to the grievances and pain she had suffered in the past twelve years, the pain and suffering she had suffered in this half a month was nothing. On this day, she soaked in the hot spring as usual, but not long after, she found that the surface of the scars on her body had cracks, as if chickens were about to break out of their eggs. With an incomparably nervous heart, she reached out and gently touched a scar on her arm. Then, a magical scene happened. That scar was like the bark of a pine tree. With a light flick, it fell off. In the next moment, what entered her eyes was a small piece of white and tender skin. After a long time, she came back to her senses and was so excited that her entire heart seemed it was about to jump out of her chest. At this moment, she was surprised to find that the scars on the lower half of her body that was soaking in the hot spring began to automatically fall off. Without any hesitation, she buried her face into the water and shook it with all her might.
Chapter 8 Was She a Human Or a Ghost Feeling that something was falling off her face, Su Jiaobai was so excited that she could not control herself. After holding it in for more than a minute, she raised her
head from the water and looked carefully at the water. When the water calmed down, she was completely shocked and dumbfounded. She could not believe that the reflection in the water was herself! At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the cave. “Jiaobai, are you soaking in the hot spring? It’s almost time. Put on your clothes first and prepare for lunch.” Unable to suppress the joy in her heart, Su Jiaobai could not help but be excited. After coming out of the water, she directly ran out of the cave. She had recovered! She wanted to share her joy with Chen Fan at the first possible moment. “Brother-in- law, I’ve recovered. I’ve recovered!” She threw herself into Chen Fan’s arms and cried with joy, “I’ve really recovered! Woo… I can be a decent person in the future.” One of Chen Fan’s hands stopped in mid-air, not knowing where to place it. However, Su Jiaobai’s recovery speed had greatly exceeded his expectations. In just half a month, she had completed the regeneration of her skin. It was simply a miracle. Chen Fan also placed his hand on her smooth back with some excitement and said solemnly, “From now on, I will protect you. I will never let anyone hurt you!” At this time, Su Jiaobai suddenly realized that she was not wearing clothes. For a moment, her pretty face was so red that it was almost dripping moisture. She broke free from Chen Fan’s arms, turned around, and ran into the cave. Not long after, her shy voice came from the cave, “You can come in!” Chen Fan came to the cave and saw Su Jiaobai standing there timidly. She lowered her head and dared not look at him. He could not help but smile and say, “You must be hungry. Eat first. After eating, take a good shower. I will go back and get your clothes.” An hour later, Su Jiaobai changed her clothes and left the cave with Chen Fan. That afternoon, the two of them drove back to the city. “Brother-in-law, I, I…” Back at the door of the Su family’s villa, Su Jiaobai was timid and did not dare to take half a step into the villa.
Chapter 8 Was She a Human Or a Ghost Chen Fan held her hand and encouraged, “Haven’t you always wanted them to accept you? Be brave, I will always be by your side and support you. Also, don’t call me Brother-in-law anymore. Just call me Chen Fan. I have already divorced your sister. In the future, you will be the woman I really want to protect in this life.” Su Jiaobai felt a warmth in her heart. In fact, she gradually realized that she had fallen in love with this man, but she could not get over the hurdle in her heart. At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz 400 stopped at the gate of the Su family’s villa. The door opened and a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked out of the car.
Li Yang, who had just gotten out of the car, was quickly attracted by Su Jiaobai in front of him, and his eyes could not help but show a touch of amazement. He had been in the circle for so many years, but he had never seen such a beautiful woman. Soon, the Su family came out of the villa to welcome Li Yang. When Old Madam Su and the others saw the strange woman beside Chen Fan, they were all shocked as if they had seen a ghost. “Oh my god, are you a human or a ghost?” Old Madam Su was so scared that her old face turned white, and her voice trembled as she cried out…
