Li Zijia whined, "Oh grandma, even a common cold takes three to five days to heal. For such a serious illness, giving me only three days is way too short, don't you think?"
In truth, Li Zijia knew deep down that there was no way to predict when the patient would wake up. After Achen mentioned it to him, he had consulted an expert friend. That expert had said that although this illness would require a prolonged recovery period, the treatment itself wasn't particularly difficult. However, when the patient might regain consciousness would depend entirely on the individual.
He was deliberately exaggerating the timeline now, just to buy a few extra days. Maybe within these few days, the patient would wake up.
"Fine, I'll give you ten days. If Ning Sao hasn't recovered in ten days, then there's nothing more to discuss." Sure enough, the old Madam Nan gave him a few extra days of leniency.
