Buhui took Song Ci's pulse and then drew up a new prescription to give to Palace Nanny, saying, "Since you've already started with the medicinal baths, don't stop now, especially in this deep winter, as they strengthen the body. But when soaking, be sure not to stay too long, and don't catch a chill."
Song Ci asked, "Do you think I'll be fully recovered by spring?"
"With careful nurturing, it's possible. But you must understand, even if you're fully recovered, you'll be more fragile than before due to past damage, so you should always have someone by your side." Buhui said candidly, "Not that I'm afraid of anything except the common stroke in the elderly. If there's no one around to help when the time comes, you might..."
"Stop, I understand, you don't have to say more." Song Ci interrupted his forthrightness.
