Huo Juanyan watched as Nan Yu bowed her head to read, her snow-white neckline under the dim yellow light was particularly eye-catching.
He caressed the chocolate wrapper in his palm, his obscure gaze fixed on her, accompanied by the sound of her gently flipping the pages.
The rare tranquil monts gave him a false sense of longing to fall into a deep slumber.
He didn’t know how much ti had passed when Huo Juanyan suddenly felt a tingling pain all over his thigh.
He paused for a second, then quickly turned his gaze to his legs filled with Silver Needles.
Were they regaining sensation?
As if in response, his legs began to throb with intense pain.
It felt as if millions of needles were piercing through his flesh and blood, reaching his bones, scraping against them with such force that sweat broke out on his back.
Huo Juanyan pursed his lips tightly, his brow furrowed deeply, and only the backs of his tightly clenched fists showcased the bulging veins, betraying the pain he was enduring.
Nan Yu, who was imrsed in her book, quickly noticed sothing was off and hurriedly lifted her head.
She grabbed his restive hand, preventing him from touching those Silver Needles.
"You must bear it now, you mustn’t touch those Silver Needles. I’m using them to open the ridians in your lower body, to gradually restore sensation to your legs."
"During this stage, there’s no way to relieve the pain, you have to endure it on your own."
Upon hearing this, Huo Juanyan clenched his fists even tighter, leaned his entire body on the pillow, his eyes tightly closed, in an attempt to forget the pain.
But that severe pain, like a venomous insect, gnawed at his flesh and burrowed into his bone crevices, tearing viciously.
Within just a few minutes, Huo Juanyan’s forehead was drenched with cold sweat from the pain, and his vision began to blur.
Seeing this, Nan Yu imdiately pulled out a handkerchief to wipe off the cold sweat from his forehead.
"This pain will last for three hours. As long as you endure it, the subsequent treatnt will beco easier and easier."
The world before Huo Juanyan’s eyes beca increasingly blurred, but Nan Yu’s voice beside his ear was exceptionally clear.
He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, enduring the bone-gnawing pain, without letting out even a muffled groan.
For the entire three hours, Huo Juanyan did not make a sound.
Nan Yu stayed by his side the whole ti, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Family Head Huo, are you feeling a bit better now?"
Huo Juanyan felt the pain in his legs had lessened a great deal and wasn’t as unbearable as before. He slowly opened his eyes, eting her worried look.
He hoarsely said, "I’m fine."
Relieved, Nan Yu smiled faintly and said, "Family Head Huo, of all the patients I’ve treated, you are the first one who won’t even groan with pain."
Huo Juanyan opened his dark eyes, with emotions churning within them, "It’s just a little pain."
Nan Yu bowed her head to start removing the needles, and after ten minutes, all the Silver Needles were taken out.
She turned her head to look at Huo Juanyan, "Do you still have the strength? I’ll help you into a dicinal bath."
Huo Juanyan nodded gently, "Yes."
Having said that, he placed his hands on the bed, preparing to move himself to the wheelchair beside the bed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he exerted force with his hands, his whole body tipped forward and he couldn’t muster any strength at all.
Seeing this, Nan Yu quickly stepped forward to catch Huo Juanyan by the arms, preventing him from falling out of the bed.
"Don’t rush, I’ll help you."
Huo Juanyan stabilized his body, turned his head, and t Nan Yu’s serious eyes.
He was about to refuse when Nan Yu didn’t give him the chance.
"Right now, I am the doctor, and you are my patient. It’s only proper for to help you, you don’t need to consider anything else."
After speaking, she extended her arms to embrace his arm, ready to help him onto the wheelchair.
"Co on, let’s exert strength together."
