195 Good Night, Sweet Dreams
Gu Man searched for some information about “myeloma” on the Internet. There were all kinds of rumors online. Some said that it was very serious. Some people said that as long as one paid attention to their mood and maintained the routine of their daily life, even if they fell sick, it would only happen eight to ten years later.
Gu Man carefully checked the cause and principle of myeloma and gradually had a rough treatment plan in her heart.
Gu Man walked out of the room and saw that Huang Jun was already preparing dinner. She quickly walked over and asked, “Do you need my help?”
Grandma also walked over from the room. “Manman, you’re back?”
Gu Man quickly said to her grandmother, “I came back long ago. When I just came back, Uncle said that your joints were hurting and you were lying down. How are you now? Are you better?”
Seeing that Gu Man was worried, Grandma quickly said, “It doesn’t hurt anymore. Don’t worry about me. How can I not know about my health? It’s all the common problems of old people.”
Huang Jun said, “You guys go sit in the hall. The dishes will be ready in a while.”
Gu Man helped her grandmother to the sofa and sat down. Her grandmother immediately asked, “Manman, is the examination results out? How is it?”
Grandma pulled Gu Man’s hand and held it. She said, “I know you guys are filial, but things are what they should be. You have to tell Grandma the truth, understand?”
Gu Man held her grandmother’s aged hands and looked at her. “Grandma, there’s something wrong with your body, but it’s not a big problem. I asked Director Lei. You coughed up blood because your lungs were infected. We’ll take medicine and acupuncture to slowly recover.”
The old lady looked at Gu Man’s calm and clear eyes and smiled. “Okay, if you say there’s no problem, then there’s no problem. I’ll listen to you on when to take medicine or anything. But promise Grandma that you won’t make yourself suffer, okay? Otherwise, Grandma won’t want to live another day after I recover.”
“Grandma, don’t worry. Do you remember that when I was young, you helped me buy a computer for me to play with? Now, I can take orders on my own on the computer. The money I earn is enough for us to spend.”
The old lady shook Gu Man’s hand hard and said, “My Manman is really capable.”
When Huang Jun served the dishes, he saw that Gu Man and her grandmother were chatting happily. He knew that Gu Man had already convinced her.
“Grandma, wake up early tomorrow morning. I’ll help you with the acupuncture.”
Grandma asked in surprise, “Manman, when did you learn how to perform acupuncture?”
“It’s just one acupuncture point. I’ve been studying acupuncture since I came to Han City. Besides, I let Director Lei take a look at it in the hospital this afternoon. I’m definitely confident. Director Lei also said that you will heal quicker with acupuncture combined with medicine,” Gu Man lied without blinking.
Huang Jun originally had questions, but at this moment, he believed most of them.
“Alright, then we’ll start doing it early tomorrow morning.”
The old lady was just wondering when Gu Man had learned acupuncture, but it was not that she did not trust Gu Man’s skills. She knew that Gu Man would not act rashly, let alone do anything to harm her.
Seeing that her grandmother was convinced so easily, Gu Man heaved a sigh of relief. She had originally planned to spend some time convincing her, but who knew that her grandmother trusted her so much?
Gu Man smiled and said, “Okay, let’s get up early tomorrow.”
At night, after Gu Man finished showering, she heard a ding. She picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Xiang Yin.
“How did your grandmother’s examination go?”
Gu Man replied, “It’s early-stage myeloma. It’ll be fine after treatment with medication.”
Xiang Yin replied instantly, “Do you need my help?”
“Thank you, but not for now.”
“Okay, then remember to look for me if you need help.”
“Okay.”
Gu Man put down her phone and wiped her hair. Then, she heard her phone ring. She opened the message and it was actually Xiang Yin.
Looking at the “Goodnight, sweet dreams.” on the screen, Gu Man hesitated for a long time before replying, “Night.”
She was still not used to saying considerate words to others.
Xiang Yin waited for a long time before the word “Night” showed up on his phone. He couldn’t help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Xiang Li caught Xiang Yin’s expression and stared at him suspiciously. Xiang Yin’s scalp went numb from the stare. He couldn’t help but raise his hand to touch the tip of his nose and ask, “What?”
