“Are you certain he'll be ok without a doctor?” Alex spoke, voice somewhat sceptical as Bao-Zhi stated that he'd be fine. The boy had lost a lot of blood. Surely no amount of herbs and good intentions was just miraculously going to cure that? Somehow, she struggled to believe. 

Still, as the man offered her a cup of tea, she accepted it, though with slight hesitation. She wasn't quite settled by the man's reassurances, her faith in alternative medicine less-than-stellar. But, the man seemed pretty sure of his treatment. She took a sip of the tea, tasting the slightly bitter liquid. Alex had never been particularly fond of the brew. Cold drinks were more her style, occasionally supplemented by hot chocolates or some coffee monstrosity. 

“He needs someone to look after him...” She spoke with a wavering to her voice, eyes once more cutting back to the man. Such wounds took time to heal. Required a lot of care and attention. The man being left behind alone simply wasn't an option, that much was clear. "Are you certain you don't want to take him to the hospital?" She once again asked.
