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.
