Even Lin Yuan and Xia Zheng were puzzled, what could be the issue with Lao Fan?
Nonetheless, judging by his expression, he didn't seem to be lying or putting on airs.
Lao Fan, appearing somewhat agitated, knocked on the table and, unusually for him, sighed, "Ah, if you want your wife's illness to heal sooner, she needs acupuncture daily, but I…"
As soon as Xia Zheng heard "acupuncture," he had a realization and stopped Lin Yuan, who was about to ask questions, shaking his head at her, "He never needles women."
Lin Yuan could tell that Lao Fan must have his reasons, but the thought that without his acupuncture, Lady Liu's illness could drag on for a long while, or even be incurable, made her feel as if there were ten thousand ants crawling inside her heart.
