Xixi had relapsed without any warning or symptoms.
Gu Juexi embraced his daughter tightly and said hoarsely, “Master, please don’t tell Weiwei about this, she wouldn’t be able to handle it.”
Right after he finished talking, Ye Yuwei barged into the room with the acupuncture needle bag in her hand. Her hands trembled as she passed the bag to Master Yao Lao and she asked fearfully, “Why has this happened so suddenly? This has never happened before.”
Ye Yuwei was trembling, her face pale and her hands clenched so tightly they were turning white.
Master Yao Lao instructed Gu Juexi to put Xixi down on the bed. His mind was numb from the shock and he moved like a mindless robot following instructions.
Master Yao Lao removed Xixi’s pajamas and started the acupuncture.
Gu Juexi took Ye Yuwei’s hands and wrapped them tightly in his own, silently offering comfort.
“Xixi has to be alright, she has to,” Ye Yuwei mumbled anxiously.
“She’s going to be alright,” Gu Juexi murmured into her ear as he gazed at his daughter.
“Weiwei, go and get Yuan Laotou,” Master Yao Lao ordered suddenly.
“Okay!” Ye Yuwei complied hastily, her breathing ragged. She turned around and sprinted out of the room.
Gu Juexi looked at his daughter, her chest full of acupuncture needles, and felt his heart clench in grief. Injections were her greatest fear but she did not even have the strength to look at them now.
Xixi’s face crumpled in pain as she could not cry out. Gu Juexi could only helplessly watch his daughter suffer.
“Mommy, Mommy—”, Xixi sobbed faintly, pain and agony clear on her pale face.
Gu Juexi hurriedly held her hand, kissed her sweaty forehead and whispered, “Daddy is here, don’t be afraid.” Ironically, he had never been more terrified in his life. This kind of terror was totally different from how he felt when Ye Yuwei wanted to kill herself.
He would choose to die with Ye Yuwei, but he would trade the whole world for his daughter’s life.
Perhaps that was the difference between love and family.
He was willing to pay any price so his daughter could lead a healthy and good life. He would give his best to Ye Yuwei, but he would always give the best of the whole world to his daughter.
Perhaps this was the difference between a husband and a father.
Gu Juexi’s mind was a chaotic mess.
When Ye Yuwei came back with Yuan Laotou, Yuan Mo was with them. He sprinted faster than his grandfather to the bedside and asked in a concerned tone, “What happened to her? She was well and happy earlier.”
Seeing Xixi lying on the bed with needles all over her body, Yuan Mo became frantic and stomped the floor repeatedly. However, he knew better not to disturb Granny Yao when she was treating a patient.
“What happened to the girl?” Although Yuan Laotou was a master of herbs, his medical skills were lacking and he was clueless about the current situation.
“Boil your red ginseng with some herbs that help in opening acupoints, hurry!” Master Yao Lao instructed without turning around.
“Grandpa, hurry!” Yuan Mo shrieked agitatedly while pushing and urging his grandfather.
“Mommy, Mommy—” Ye Xicheng’s terrified cry rang out from the yard.
Ye Yuwei held her breath for composure, turned around, and left the room. Little Xicheng was standing in the yard barefooted. Perhaps he found the place unfamiliar so he cried for his mommy timidly.
