Leaving with Determination

Sang Guzi and Wang Yao walked back to their rooms to rest.

Wang Yao returned to Han's house at 3 p.m. The patient had woken up. He could move his eyes but couldn't speak.

Wang Yao checked the patient's pulse, which was still weak.

"He is getting better, but his condition is still critical," he said. "I've brought a third decoction with me."

The Han brothers got excited. They had seen the changes the other two decoctions had on their youngest brother, who had finally awoken.

Apart from Sang Guzi, one of the Han brothers had secretly asked a well-known doctor in Yunnan to take a look at his youngest brother to verify he was getting better. He thought it was important to get opinions from different doctors. Eventually, all the brothers were convinced that Wang Yao's treatment was effective.

"The third decoction is very expensive," Wang Yao said.

"How much?" Han Xing asked.

"It is $1 million for one decoction," Wang Yao said.
