No one expected it, but James Black drove straight out and took Jane Sampson to a veteran Chinese medicine doctor. He pressed Jane Sampson's hand onto the table, ignoring her glaring face full of anger. Unaffected, he insisted the doctor prescribe some more Chinese medicine to help her recuperate. Forty minutes later, James Black was holding Jane Sampson's hand in one hand and carrying the prescribed medicine in the other.
Even after they got back to the car, Jane Sampson still refused to acknowledge James Black.
She was fuming.
Back then, she had said she'd take James Black to the hospital for a full check-up on the eighth lunar day. But instead of going to the hospital, he dragged her here. "Getting angry won't help. Angry or not, you still have to take the medicine." James Black placed the medicine on the rear seat, turned his head, and noticed Jane Sampson looking like an angry pufferfish. Not only did he not comfort her, but he also reached out and poked her puffed-up cheek.
