"Mm, go out now. I need to rest some more." Old Deng, already frail, has apparently suffered from great exhaustion after Situ Xin's series of treatments. He truly is tired now.
"Okay." Situ Xin tiptoed out of the room, gently closing the door behind her as she left.
As soon as the door closed, Old Lady Deng eagerly grabbed Situ Xin's hand and asked, "Xiao Xin, how is it? How is your Grandpa Deng?" Behind Old Lady Deng, there were several men and women whom Situ Xin had not met before, but she could tell by their faces that they must be Old Deng's sons and daughters.
"Grandma Deng, rest assured. Grandpa Deng is fine. He's just too tired and has fallen asleep," said Situ Xin, pausing before adding, "The treatment was very successful, but it will take ten more treatments for Grandpa Deng's illness to be fully cured." After Situ Xin finished speaking, the middle-aged men and women behind Old Lady Deng all showed skeptical expressions on their faces.
