Nan Yu looked at Huo Juanyan sowhat unexpectedly.
"She agreed so easily?"
Huo Juanyan said lightly, "Hmm."
A flash of astonishnt crossed the depths of Nan Yu’s eyes, sowhat in disbelief.
She originally thought that a person like Gu Chuxin, with such a strong guard, would not easily decide to stay; she had even thought about preparing alternate plans.
Unexpectedly, once the Huo Family Head took action, he easily convinced Gu Chuxin to stay.
"Huo Family Head, thank you for helping out greatly."
When Huo Juanyan saw her smile, her eyes curved beautifully, bright as a rose, he slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Nan, you’re too polite."
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his legs again.
It was more intense than yesterday.
Huo Juanyan imdiately closed his eyes tightly, allowing his body to relax and braced himself for the tough battle ahead.
Nan Yu, seeing the change in his expression, instantly guessed that it had started to take effect.
She promptly picked up a bowl of herbal dicine, took a straw, and held it to Huo Juanyan’s lips.
"Huo Family Head, the pain might last for five hours this ti, drink this bowl of herbal dicine first, and it will help you endure."
Huo Juanyan then opened his eyes, his deep eyes showing no specific emotion.
He opened his mouth and began to drink the bitter herbal dicine.
After he finished the entire bowl, he closed his eyes again, quietly waiting for the intense pain to strike.
But unexpectedly, before the intense pain, he first tasted a sweet, cloying piece of chocolate.
"Huo Family Head, eat a piece of chocolate to alleviate the bitterness in your mouth."
Huo Juanyan, tasting the sweet flavor in his mouth, suppressed all the bitterness from before.
Although he usually disliked sweets, at this mont, he surprisingly began to like it a bit.
Nan Yu sat by the bed, observing Huo Juanyan’s condition, and placed her hand on his wrist, constantly monitoring his pulse.
Ten minutes later, she could visibly see Huo Juanyan’s leg muscles starting to twitch violently.
She asked gently, "Does it hurt?"
Huo Juanyan, upon hearing her voice, still kept his eyes tightly shut and shook his head, "No, it doesn’t hurt."
Nan Yu felt the pulse under her fingers was the sa as before, indicating that the current pain was still within his tolerance.
She continued to wait patiently.
Half an hour later, his leg muscles twitched even more fiercely, and sweat began to form on Huo Juanyan’s forehead.
But he rely pressed his lips together, not making a sound of pain.
An hour later, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Huo Juanyan’s forehead, trickling down his cheeks, soaking into the pillow and the covering.
Pursing his lips turned into biting his lower lip, his body starting to shake slightly.
Nan Yu could clearly feel his heartbeat, faster than before.
Two hours later, the pain continued to grow exponentially, veins in his neck bulged, sweat poured down his head like heavy rain, completely drenching the pillow.
His beautiful lips were also bitten till they bled, the beads of blood glaringly conspicuous under the light.
Nan Yu, biting her lower lip lightly, pulled out a tissue, continually wiping off his sweat.
"Huo Family Head, can you still endure?"
Huo Juanyan, whose temples throbbed with pain, still concentrated and clearly heard Nan Yu’s question.
He grunted, "Hmm, I can."
Nan Yu, seeing him persevere with clenched teeth, admiringly appreciated his determination.
"There are three more hours to go, what cos next might be even more difficult, but as long as you endure it, it’ll be alright."
Nan Yu wiped his sweat again, her tone filled with encouragent.
Huo Juanyan, slling the scent that could calm him, did his best to stay alert.
"Okay."
