After reading the pulse, Master Yao Lao asked Wen Jie, “Did you bring the reports of her blood test?”
“Yes, I did, I brought everything that Weiwei listed and it’s in my bag,” said Wen Jie. She retrieved a stack of reports from her bag.
Xixi frowned when she saw the reports in her grandmother’s hand and buried her face in Gu Juexi’s neck. She did not want to go to the hospital anymore.
Gu Juexi was heartbroken seeing his daughter like this. It must be painful for such a small child to endure the agony of blood extraction and lying on the chilly diagnostic machines. She was obviously shaken by the experiences in the hospital.
Ye Yuwei stood silently behind Wen Jie after moving the luggage in.
Master Yao Lao put the reports down after viewing them and said, “I’ll still say the same thing, her illness is treatable but I have to warn you, it won’t be easy to get rid of it.”
Wen Jie patted Ye Yuwei’s hands that were gripping her shoulders. “We don’t hope for much, as long as she is healthy and well.”
Ye Yuwei nodded in agreement. As long as her daughter was alive, she would bear the consequences even if there were possible side effects such as a habitual sleeping disorder and the inability to run and jump.
Master Yao Lao touched Xixi’s plump cheek gently. “Then come with your father in the afternoon, I will do an acupuncture session for both of you.”
“No, I don’t want injection, I don’t want—” Xixi shrieked in agony the moment she heard about the acupuncture. She buried herself in Gu Juexi’s chest and burst into tears, her small body trembling in fear.
Gu Juexi kissed his daughter’s head. “No, it’s not an injection. I will be there with you, there’s nothing to be afraid of.”
“No—it’s very painful, I don’t want it!” Xixi struggled. Despite her young age, she was very familiar with injections.
Ye Yuwei squatted down in front of Xixi and held her hands. “I promise, Granny Yao’s injection will be different from the nurses, don’t worry,” Ye Yuwei consoled her daughter. She hugged her and patted her back gently. “Have I ever lied to you?”
“No injection,” Xixi pouted tearfully, her hands gripping Ye Yuwei’s shirt tightly.
With Xixi in her arms, Ye Yuwei strolled around the room and continue consoling her. Right now, the only way to stop her crying was to let her fall asleep.
Gu Juexi lowered his gaze in anguish. It was torment to see his daughter crying. If he had been more determined and truthful to Ye Yuwei, maybe their daughter would not have this nasty illness.
However, he did not know how to tell her about that matter.
Gu Juexi raised his gaze and looked at his mother who was also concerned about Xixi.
How should he ask her? How should he confront his mother about having a relationship with another man?
As a son, how could he raise such a question?
After crying for a while, Xixi had fallen asleep on Ye Yuwei’s shoulder.
“Granny Yao, can you please not give my sister an injection?” Ye Xicheng pleaded softly, “My sister is afraid of needles.”
Master Yao Lao looked at little Xicheng who had concern printed all over his face. “I am very good at acupuncture, she will not feel any pain,” she reassured.
Ye Xicheng frowned skeptically, he did not buy it. Every year during their vaccination shots, it was very painful for him but he put on a brave face and tried really hard not to cry. On the other hand, his sister would cry her eyes out.
“Xicheng, don’t get in Granny Yao’s way. I’ll take you in for a nap,” Ye Yuwei said. She carried Xixi carefully and gestured for Xicheng to follow.
Ye Xicheng followed behind hastily although he was still concerned for his sister. “Mommy, she will be so scared and cry.”
Wen Jie watched them walk into the room then turned her gaze to Gu Juexi. “You don’t look good, is something troubling you? What’s going on?”
