"Do we really have to draw blood?"
Qiao Suisui pinched the hem of her dress, somewhat anxious. The test she just underwent showed a slightly problematic value, so Ruka decided on the spot to conduct a more in-depth examination as a precaution.
He saw her fear, but for her health, he steeled his resolve, squatted beside her, and whispered soothingly, "This test is very important. Suisui, be good, it'll be over very quickly."
She took a deep breath, extended her arm, and turned her face away, not wanting to watch. Ruka took the opportunity to hold her in his embrace, rolling up her sleeve. The medical staff were also comforting her, but Qiao Suisui, seeing the extremely fine tip of the needle in his hand, felt that their reassurances were entirely unpersuasive.
She shut her eyes tight, hoping for a quick end to it all, her entire focus on her arm, to the point where she could even feel her pores tremble as the needle neared her vein.
Suddenly, the door was violently pushed open.
