Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I’m sorry, I’ve already applied to the school to study freely. You don’t have to worry about my studies. Moreover, it’s more reassuring for the patient to be under my nose.” Gu Man didn’t leave any room for negotiation and didn’t give Jia Ling any face.
Jia Ling’s face turned even paler. She reached out helplessly and pulled Cui Hong’s sleeve, hoping that Cui Hong could help her say a few words.
Cui Hong seemed to not be able to sense the tugging on his sleeve. He turned his head and did not even look at Jia Ling.
He did not have the face to speak up for Jia Ling. Now that Old Master Cui was at stake, he would let Jia Ling remember this time so that she would not make such a mistake again.
Jia Ling was alone and helpless now. No one spoke up for her. She was helpless and secretly hateful. She pushed all the blame to Gu Man.
She had already apologized. What else did Gu Man want her to do? Wasn’t she just leaning on the fact that she saved Ah Mai and Old Master Cui? Did she think that she could suppress her like this? It wasn’t like their Cui family hadn’t given her benefits. Where did she get the guts to do this?
The more Jia Ling thought about it, the angrier she became. However, this was obviously not a good opportunity to flare up. She could only suppress the anger in her heart and stand at the side aggrievedly.
When she successfully stayed in the Cui Family, she would definitely teach Gu Man a lesson.
Gu Man glanced at Jia Ling and immediately saw the bad thoughts in her heart clearly. This person was really unrepentant. People’s hearts were all bad. As expected, it was impossible for her to turn over a new leaf just because of one or two small matters.
She did not expose Jia Ling now.
She wanted to see what kind of bad intentions Jia Ling had.
After Gu Man prescribed the prescription, she handed it to Cui Lin. No one was more professional than Cui Lin in obtaining medicine.
As for the others, she dismissed them from the room.
She sat by the bed and looked at Old Master Cui, who was frowning. Her heart ached. She thought about how most of the time, she saw Old Master Cui standing up for her with a cold expression. His fragile appearance was really rare.
Gu Man took out the bead from her pocket and held it in her hand. Spiritual power spread out from the bead into the air continuously. Gu Man turned them into threads that invaded Old Master Cui’s body to nourish and comfort the internal organs that had small holes gnawed into them by the Gu worms.
Old Master Cui was probably able to last until now because of the medicine he had taken previously.
It was obvious that Cui Lin had prescribed this medicine. It was all because of the excellent herbs that kept him alive.
After the unconscious Old Master Cui was nourished by spiritual qi, the pain on his body subsided a lot. His tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed. After he relaxed, he fell into a sweet dream.
In the dream, he, his wife, and his daughter were playing by the sea. The things in his memory did not happen. Huang Ying was healthy and happy until she reached adulthood.
Outside the dream, tears dripped from the corners of Old Master Cui’s eyes as he lay on the bed, soaking the pillow under him.
When Gu Man saw this scene, she felt an inexplicable pain. She took out a tissue beside her and gently wiped the corners of Old Master Cui’s eyes.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Gu Man frowned slightly and looked at the position outside the door. She remembered that she had instructed before that no one was allowed to disturb her. Now, who was so insensible?
Before she could ask, a familiar voice sounded from outside the door.
“Gu Man, it’s me.” Xiang Yin stood at the door and leaned against the door frame.
The impatience on Gu Man’s face disappeared at this moment. She stood up from the chair and walked to the door. She opened the door and looked at the tall figure outside. “Why are you here?”
However, when she asked, she regretted it. Cui Lin must have revealed the information for Xian Yin to appear here.
“Cui Lin told me that you’re here. 1 heard that you’ll be staying at the Cui Family in the future?” Xiang Yin looked past Gu Man and saw Old Master Cui lying on the bed.
Previously, he was still alive and kicking, and wanted to chase him out, but now, he was lying on the hospital bed on his last breath. It made one sigh.
However, there were actually traces of all of this. Old Master Cui’s illness was not caused by a day, but a long-term corrosion. Be it him or Cui Lin, they were already prepared for this day to come..
