Chapter 46: Essential Oil Feedback part 1
When Crick received the lavender essential oil, he was at the hospital accompanying his older brother, Kurt.
His brother, Kurt, had suffered severe damage to his spiritual sea due to a rivalâs malicious business competition. The damage value had reached 94.7%, and his cranial nerves were also affected, leaving him in a near-brain-dead state.
Kurt had been lying in a hospital bed for almost ten years. When he was first hospitalized, Crick had dared to use high-potency drugs with intense reactions, attempting to stimulate and wake Kurt up.
However, as Kurtâs coma lengthened and his physical condition declined, he could no longer withstand aggressive medication. They had to resort to conservative treatment methods.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and Kurt remained in a coma with no sign of waking up.
During these ten years, Crick had transformed from the well-behaved younger brother protected by his sibling into a ruthless entrepreneur. He had sent the masterminds behind the scenes to prison and bankrupted the “opportunists” who had turned their backs on them.
Crick had successfully exacted his revenge, yet he could not find any pleasure in it.
He grew increasingly silent and melancholic, gradually forgetting what happiness felt like.
What if he had his revenge?
Could his brother wake up? Could his family be brought back to life?
Living was truly dull…
The aromatherapy of Zhuâs Lingering Fragrance had been recommended to Crick by his assistant.
A treatment derived from natural plants was gentle enough for his brother.
As for whether it would be effective…
Crick didn’t hold a shred of hope.
In ten years, they had exhausted every medical method available, yet his brother showed no sign of improvement.
How could a never-before-heard-of aromatherapy be effective?
But… what if?
Small glimmers of light were what supported Crick until today.
He needed some hope and fantasy; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to go on living.
Crick brought the essential oil and a humidifier to the hospital to visit Kurt. There was a layer of warmth in his usually cold voice: “Brother, today I’m going to let you try the latest aromatherapy that appeared in the Interstellar era. Itâs said to be extracted from natural plants; itâs quite novel.”
He dripped the pure lavender essential oil into the prepared humidifier and turned it on.
Milky white mist was released, accompanied by a soothing and pleasant fragrance. It quickly dyed the roomâwhich was full of the smell of disinfectantâwith a layer of natural grass and leaf scent.
Fresh and natural.
“What a special smell.”
Crick expressed surprise at the scent of the lavender oil.
At his level, what rare items had he not seen? Yet this was the first time Crick had smelled such a stunning aroma.
Mild, peaceful, and long-lasting.
It seemed that all irritability was smoothed away, and all suffering would pass.
Crick felt as if he were currently in a lush botanical garden. He was enveloped and soothed by clusters of natural plants; it was incredibly beautiful.
Even the gloom caused by his brotherâs long-term coma felt less heavy.
The sorrow between Crickâs brows lightened.
“Zhuâs Lingering Fragrance… aromatherapy. It seems thereâs really something to it.”
The humidifier worked steadily, continuously releasing the scent of lavender.
Crick had originally planned to handle some work documents, but amidst the waves of lavender fragrance, his eyelids grew heavier, and his thoughts became distant.
Feeling drowsy, Crick simply rested on the accompanying bed for a while.
In just a few seconds, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He slept exceptionally peacefully.
He didn’t dream of his brotherâs funeral or his broken family. There was only his reliable older brother, holding his hand and taking him to the amusement park when they were children.
Crick slept for over three hours. When he woke up, he found it unbelievable.
Since Kurtâs accident, he had never slept so comfortably.
His mood was exceptionally soft and peaceful.
Crick was about to get up, but to his surprise, his wrist was being held in someoneâs palm.
The other person wasn’t using much force; he could easily break free. However, this familiar touch… Crick didn’t want to break free at all.
Crickâs eyes couldn’t help but well up with tears.
Kurt was holding his wrist!
Kurt, who hadn’t moved for ten years, was actually holding his wrist after he woke up today!
It turned out he wasn’t dreaming. His brother was truly holding his hand.
Just like in the past.
Crick immediately pressed the emergency bell.
He glanced at the data displayed on the spiritual sea testing instrumentâDamage Value: 94.6%.
It had decreased by 0.1%!
Crick suddenly squatted down, warm liquid flowing from the corners of his eyes.
He sobbed twice, then smiled again.
He thought he had finally seen hope.
It was a beam of light in the eternal night, so bright and brilliant.
As soon as Fang Ning received the lavender essential oil, she arranged for a hotel. She and the four people from the online group buy were going to try this new thing together.
“Will the effect of this lavender oil really be better than the natural plant?”
“The concepts the shop owner comes up with are indeed quite new. We’ll know if it’s good after trying it.”
“Anyway, once we split the cost, it’s not much more expensive than the natural plant. Let’s just try it!”
âŚâŚ
Among the people Fang Ning found for the group buy was Wang Lei, a comrade-in-arms of her father, Fang Hua.
After Wang Lei retired from the military, his spiritual sea had also suffered permanent damage. He had been reluctant to spend a fortune on treatment, always thinking he could just endure it.
Now that he was getting older, he couldn’t hold on anymore, which was when he remembered to treat it properly.
Wang Lei was originally skeptical about something like aromatherapy. However, he had stayed at Fang Huaâs house for a day yesterday and enjoyed the sleep-inducing effects of lavender.
Wang Lei had to admit that lavenderâs sleep-inducing effect was top-notch, bar none! It was much more useful than many Interstellar drugs!
Therefore, Wang Lei also had some expectations for the effect of the lavender oil.
The other two people in the group buy had been troubled by insomnia for a long time and had miserable expressions every day.
Although their spiritual seas were not damaged, because of their insomnia, their spiritual sea fluctuation values were constantly above 40. They would frequently have violent arguments with others, and over time, no one wanted to be close to them. Their own mental states were also very poor.
When they saw someone on the same planet organizing a group buy for lavender oil, they placed an order.
Two soft pads were added to the twin room in the hotel. Since Fang Hua and Wang Lei were veterans, they slept on the pads, leaving the beds to the two insomnia patients.
Seeing that all four were lying down, Fang Ning dropped the lavender oil into the humidifier with expectation and turned on the switch.
Afterward, she exited the room.
The lavender fragrance quickly spread.
The scent of the oil was stronger than lavender itself, and the use of the humidifier allowed the aromatic factors to spread evenly. In less than three minutes, the room was dyed with a light fragrance.
The scent was elegant and fresh, making one unconsciously intoxicated.
The two insomnia patients originally wanted to scroll through their optical computers. After all, when they were treating their insomnia in the past, there were several times they couldn’t fall asleep throughout the entire process.
However, after smelling the fragrance for just a few minutes, their emotions were soothed, and their anxious spiritual seas became more peaceful than ever before.
Their eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
The optical computers in their hands slipped onto the quilts, and their breathing became long and steady.
They fell asleep.
As for Fang Hua and Wang Lei, they were already mentally prepared after experiencing the sleep-inducing effect of lavender. They lay on the pads, closed their eyes, and invited sleep.
The effect of the lavender oil was clearly better than the lavender itself. In less than a minute, they also entered a state of sleep.
In their dreams, the spiritual seas that used to throb with pain from time to time stopped acting up. Instead, waves of comfort were sent out, cool and relaxed.
The fragrance was like a clear spring flowing through scorched earth, allowing the long-parched spiritual sea to receive timely rain, peaceful and satisfied.
The lavender fragrance curled up, and the four people in the room began to snore softly.
Four hours later, the aromatherapy machine had stopped working, but the peaceful lavender fragrance still remained in the room.
In the meantime, Fang Ning sent a message to her father, Fang Hua. Seeing that he didn’t reply, she knew he hadn’t woken up yet, so she waited in the next room.
Another two hours passed before the two insomnia patients slowly woke up.
They stretched, their faces glowing with health, feeling refreshed and energetic.
This was the best sleep they had had since developing insomnia!
Aromatherapy was truly useful; it wasn’t an exaggeration.
Zhuâs Lingering Fragrance lived up to its reputation.
And after checking the time on their optical computers, they all opened their mouths wide.
What time was it?
What time was this?
They had actually slept for a full six hours?!
Could they actually sleep for that long?
Fang Hua and Wang Lei also performed spiritual power tests immediately after waking up. Their spiritual sea damage values had decreased by 0.5% and 0.3% respectively!
They hadn’t injected any specialized drugs with obvious side effects; they had just slept comfortably in a peaceful, fragrant environment, and their damage values had dropped?
Lavender essential oil and aromatherapy were truly effective.
Fang Hua and Wang Lei looked at each other excitedly, their eyes full of joy.
The insomnia and spiritual sea injuries that had troubled them for so long were actually solved so easily.
This was truly a wonderful surprise.
Although it was late at night outside, the four people who had just undergone aromatherapy were full of energy and hope for the future.
The night today was very bright indeed!
And in the future, it would be even brighter.
