Rich In a Brief
Wild Ginseng

"Yes, Mom. I felt hot, like there was a fire burning inside my body. Will I be..." Alea fell silent.

............................................

"No. It won't." Still wiping, Vina's gaze fell on the mushroom soup. "Nurse! Nurse! Is there anyone outside!? Please help me!" panicked shouting.

"What's going on?"

Hospital officials consider patient care their priority. Directly, the staff did not remain silent. In a few moments, a nurse quickly rushed the room.

"My daughter's nose continues to bleed. He said his heart was burning. Did something happen to him?" ask Vina.

"Nosebleeds? Can't it stop?"

The nurse froze. Not understanding the cause of Alea's condition now, the nurse hurriedly told Vina, "Please keep an eye on your daughter, I'll call the doctor."

"Dr. Carter, how's my daughter?"

Vina waited at the side anxiously watching the doctors as they examined her daughter's condition.

"He may be overflowing with food. "

Anna frowned and asked, "Have you just given her some food?"

Although a similar situation had happened before, but this time it was very serious.

Vina pointed at the mushroom soup on the table. "I made a bowl of soup for him. Oh, yeah, I put some ginseng in it. It was a cultivated type of ginseng, unlike the one taken from the wild."

Can you show me the ginseng? Anna raised her eyebrows as she thought, "Does the ginseng cultivated today have such a powerful effect? How much did he put in the soup? "

Sure do. Vina quickly took out a box from the drawer and gave it to Anna.

Anna opened it and saw only a little ginseng left in the box. It seems that half of it has been used.

The corner of Anna's lips twitched after she learned the pattern and inhaled the scent of ginseng. He asked, "Did you put more than half of it in the soup?

Vina nodded and replied, "Right. I thought cultivated ginseng was safer, so I used half of it. Did I do something wrong?"

"It wouldn't be a big deal if this was cultivated ginseng. However, this ginseng does not look so."

"What's? My friend said it was cultivated ginseng," Vina said in disbelief.

Anna muttered to herself, "Your friend is so generous..."

He then pointed at the remaining ginseng and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this wild ginseng is from Falkariye Mountain. From the looks of it, it must have been at least several hundred years old."

"What?"

Vina almost fainted. He had heard about how powerful the effects of old wild ginseng were.

"Luckily, Alea didn't drink much. It would be dangerous if he drank more" Anna said in relief.

After all, aged wild ginseng soup could kill.

Quickly, Luis' voice sounded on the phone. "Who is this?"

"I'm Vina, Alea's mother."

"Oh," Luis replied, it seemed like he remembered them. "What's going on? Does it have anything to do with medical expenses?"

"No. I just wanted to ask you about the ginseng you gave me. Wh why? I used half of it to make soup for my daughter. Looks like..."

Bugh! Before Vina finished speaking, a loud sound of something falling onto the floor sounded on the other end of the phone. After a while, Luis asked, "Is your daughter okay?"

Even Luis never thought of making soup with aged wild ginseng.

In general, even small pieces of old wild ginseng had a very powerful effect.

"He's fine. I just want to know... "

"I'll be there soon."

Luis was shocked when he heard that Vina had used half of her ginseng to make soup.

He put on his jacket and rushed to the hospital. In just a few minutes, he arrived at Alea's patient room.

Luis heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Anna and Vina were observing Alea sleeping on her bed.

Seeing Luis arrive, Vina immediately stood up and greeted, "Master Nardo. You have arrived. "

Luis' breathing panted with exhaustion. She did not know what to say, so she waved her hand and asked, Is Alea okay?

"Alea doesn't drink much, so she's fine," Vina replied as she nodded.

"Sir, you are very generous. How can you give someone an old wild ginseng as if it were cultivated ginseng?" asked Anna coldly.

"It's not Mr. Nardo's fault. I'm too careless," Defa Vina.

No, I'm supposed to be blamed. I didn't think about it yet." Luis waved his hand once more. He never expected Vina to make soup with half that ginseng.

Luis has thought of the best way to give it, but apparently, he has made a mistake.

If Alea wasn't that lucky, she would be in danger.

"Ginseng is ..." Vina pointed to the remaining part of ginseng inside the box.

"That ginseng is definitely not a cultivated ginseng!" Vina continued in her mind.

"This is the wild ginseng of Mount Falkariye. I wanted to give it to Lord Andra, but he did not accept it. Then I gave it to you. I was afraid that you would reject it, so I lied that it was cultivated ginseng," Luis replied honestly.

"But it's too expensive...

Vina was confused because she had borrowed 15,000 dollars from Luis in the past. Now, Luis even gave him that wild ginseng.
