Chapter 76 Potions

Vanessa was thoroughly astonished when she saw Shi Tian worrying about her condition. It was to the point that she found it laughable.

Who would believe a person that was trying to extort her for the medical fee would suddenly have such a change of heart?

Nevertheless, she could feel his genuine concern for her. Such actions and expressions were impossible to replicate or act upon.

"Here, let me carry you to the hospital." Shi Tian placed the glass of water down on the table and said softly, ready to lift her up from the couch.

"No need, Nathan." Vanessa shook her head and rejected.

"What do you mean no need? Your wounds are already being infected and those bandages aren't helping at all. Now I'm suspicious of the elastic bandage itself being expired." Shi Tian scolded and was ready to lecture Vanessa harshly.

But more importantly, he was blaming and cursing at the previous tenant for always having such faulty equipment.

First, it was the refrigerator being short-circuited, and now it was the medical first aid kit being expired.

No wonder why he got killed by the Crimson Mage.

Truly serve him right!

Vanessa smiled bitterly when she got scolded. Unlike the previous time when Shi Tian was taunting her, this time, he was genuinely concerned about her condition and was scolding her for it.

Thus, she found it difficult to rebuke or even get angry at him.

"It's fine, Nathan. It's only the wounds being infected. You can easily get me some potions to drink and I'll recover subtly after." Vanessa's tone was mild and explained calmly. Since he was that caring, it was only right for her to reply in such a tone and not flare up.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian was confused by her.

"Potions?" He asked in a dazed tone. He had only heard of the liquid type of medicine that children used to drink as an alternative since they aren't old enough and eligible to consume pills.

"Are you talking about liquid medicine?" He then asked, hoping to confirm his thought.

Alas, Vanessa twitched her mouth in disbelief and wondered if he was messing with her.

However, she realized he was truly dumbstruck given the confusion he was making.

"Don't you know about the potions that were synthesized with the herbs that were mutated because of the environment?" Vanessa asked in a dumbfounded tone.

"Ahem, of course, I do. I was merely joking to lighten the mood and distract you from the infected wounds." Shi Tian faked a cough and said proudly.

Vanessa narrowed her eyes and looked at Shi Tian suspiciously.

Although they might not have met long, she could somewhat grasp the type of person he was. There was no way he would react so intensely and proclaim to try and lighten the mood whatsoever as a defense.

"Just get me a Restorative Potion and the infection should subside." She sighed softly and said, too exhausted to be concerned whether he was serious or joking.

"Sure, pay me the money then, including the delivery fee." Shi Tian said calmly. Given that she was still in the right mind, his passive ability had finally taken over and helped him regain his composure. historical

As for his momentary lapse, Shi Tian learned to differentiate between reality and imaginary.

Sheng Lan was no longer here, so even if someone resembled her, it doesn't mean anything to him.

If his loss of composure was to occur again in a tense or dangerous situation, then he would have forfeited his life for such a nonsensical reason.

Meanwhile, Vanessa twitched her brows in disbelief, wondering if the man in front of the home was suffering from bipolar personality disorder.

One moment he was filled with concern, and the next moment, he returned to his money grubber and heartless behavior.

Shi Tian ignored her expression and stood up, walking toward a cabinet.

He recalled having seen some sort of small glass container previously when he was taking out the first aid medical kit. Maybe that was a potion that he neglected, thinking it was just some liquid medicine.

And sure enough, he saw quite a few small glass containers filled with liquid within the cabinet.

However, his knowledge of potions was next to zero, and this was the first time he had encountered such a thing. Not to mention, he wasn't even sure if these small glass containers are the so-called potions.

Unable to determine or decipher them, Shi Tian directly took out all the glass containers and brought them to the living room table.

"Which one is the Restorative Potion?" He then turned toward Vanessa and asked.

Vanessa had a dazed look at first, before wrinkling her brows and making a furious expression.

"Were you toying with me earlier?" She asked, trying her best to sound as calm as possible.

"The hell?" Shi Tian raised an eyebrow, seemingly confused by her sudden attitude.

He was here trying his best to help her, yet she was now glaring at him as if he was the villain that caused her harm.

"Did your infection worsen so that it affects your brain now?" He then asked, wondering if her brain was fired and unable to think properly at the moment.

Being insulted all of a sudden by him caused the suppression of her emotion to erupt. She clenched her left fist while pointing a finger with her right hand at Shi Tian in agitation.

"Your brain is fried. Your whole family is fried." Vanessa shouted loudly but coughed out blood due to being overly agitated.

Shi Tian was thoroughly confused by her agitation.

"Are you okay?" He asked in concern. "You didn't have to be mad if these weren't the potions. Look at your injuries now. Do you want them to leave a scar or do you want to die?"

Hearing that, it was no longer her brows twitching, but her entire face. She was on the verge of dying from anger.

"You son of a bitch.. If you had those potions from the start, then why didn't you bring it out and instead use such poor-quality elastic bandage for my injuries? Were you just trying to watch me suffer and humiliate me?" Vanessa cried aloud and fainted on the spot.
