His words were almost overflowing with worry. When Guo Guo heard the anxious voice of the old man outside, she felt a lump in his throat and resisted the urge to respond.

“Grandpa, I’m fine. 1 just wasn’t ready just now. Nothing happened.”

However, the pain in her back made her break out in cold sweat, but she still forced herself to comfort the old man outside.

As expected, after hearing Guo Guo’s words, the old man’s voice became much calmer.

“Guo Guo gold on. If you hold on, you’ll become a healthy child.”

Guo Guo nodded silently. She finally couldn’t hold back her tears. She didn’t know if it was the pain in her back or the bitterness in her heart, but they all surged out at this moment.

“It’s going to hurt even more. If you don’t want your grandfather to worry, it’s best not to make any noise.”

Initially, Guo Guo did not think much of it. Now, her face was pale and she was sweating profusely. It was really hard to imagine that there was anything more painful than this.

However, when the second needle pierced her back, she almost couldn’t help but scream. Fortunately, she thought about the old man outside and didn’t scream in the end.

Gu Man’s words were not just to scare her, they were indeed true.

She clearly thought that she had reached her limit, but when the second needle was pierced, she realized how painful pain could be.

Guo Guo panted heavily. Her hands gripped the pillow tightly, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Gu Man looked at her without any pity.

“You shouldn’t be in so much pain, but you don’t take your body seriously. 1 know you’ve always had little hope for this illness, but since I’ve already made a promise, 1’11 naturally fulfill it.”

For a moment, Guo Guo did not know how to describe her feelings. She lowered her head and did not respond to Gu Man’s words. Or rather, the pain in her back made it impossible for her to find the energy to reply to others.

Gu Man did not hesitate and sped up her actions to stab the remaining silver needles.

Although it hurt more and more, Gu Man’s hand speed was faster, so it was not as painful as before. However, when her back was filled with silver needles, Guo Guo still fell onto the bed with a tired expression.

She even had the thought that Gu Man was deliberately taking revenge, but after all, the two of them had never met before, other than her disdain for her medical skills…

At the thought of this, Guo Guo suddenly understood that she shouldn’t question a doctor’s medical skills. No wonder Gu Man was so heavy-handed. It seemed like she really wanted to take revenge on her.

She gritted her teeth and forced herself to use the last bit of her strength to look at Gu Man behind her. She thought that she would see the joy of revenge on her face, but her face was as calm as water and expressionless. Even when she looked at her back, there was no fluctuation.

All the anger poured out the moment she saw her face, and Guo Guo gradually lost consciousness.

Gu Man looked at the unconscious Guo Guo and stood up. She took out a small bottle from her pocket and lit the spreading cotton thread with a match.

Smoke instantly filled the entire room, and a strange fragrance continuously drifted in the air, even drifting between the noses of the two people outside.

When the old man was outside, he had actually been worried about Guo Guo because of that cry, Guo Guo usually didn’t like to show her emotions. Just now, she actually cried out uncontrollably, which was enough to prove how painful it was.

However, the old man knew that doctors did not like to be disturbed during the treatment process, so he forcefully endured it and did not enter or ask.

However, when he saw the fog that had already drifted out, he could not help but take two to three steps towards the door.

Xiang Yin, who was beside him, stopped him.

“If you still want your granddaughter’s illness to be cured, it’s best not to disturb her at such a critical moment.”

Although he did not know what the fog floating in the air was, Xiang Yin’s duty was to not allow anyone to enter and disturb Gu Man.

Just his calm words made the old man stop in his tracks. Worry appeared on his face, but he did not dare to take another step forward.

It was obvious that he had taken Xiang Yin’s words to heart, but he could not dispel the gloominess in his heart and could only pace around on the spot..
