Little did they expect, as soon as Xia Chuyi had finished bowing, she suddenly asked, "Doctor Guo, are you sure my cousin is alright now?"
Guo Lin, "...You don’t trust my medical skills?"
He puffed his beard and glared.
Xia Chuyi shook her head resolutely, "Of course not!"
She just didn’t trust the gears of fate.
Now, she was almost on edge about everything.
Huo Shiqian pulled her to his side, shielding her with his body, "Chuyi, have some faith in Uncle Guo."
He then said to Guo Lin, "The young girl doesn’t know any better, Uncle Guo, please don’t mind."
His expression was quite indifferent.
Humph! Guo Lin hummed discontentedly again.
He could see that the Huo Family young master was ostensibly praising him, but actually, he was protecting that young girl.
However, since the Huo Family young master rarely spoke so pleasantly, Guo Lin felt quite pleased inside, but he kept a stern face and said, "For your sake, young man, I won’t hold it against the young girl."
"Let’s go, see me out!" After saying that, he strode forward, hands behind his back.
Huo Shiqian slightly furrowed his brows and looked at Xia Chuyi, "Wait for me."
"Mhm." Xia Chuyi obediently nodded her head.
Elderly folks can be willful, and they still need to be pampered.
As the two left, the expression in Xia Chuyi’s eyes gradually darkened.
In fact, she knew that Guo Lin’s medical skills were not the problem.
The problem was her own mindset.
Even if she asked Guo Lin again and got another confirmation, a corner of her heart would still be filled with worry.
Because, whenever she recalled seeing her cousin lying in a pool of blood, her blood would freeze again, and that feeling of helplessness, as if sinking into an abyss, overwhelmed her.
Only those who have lost know the true pain of loss.
Only those who have despaired know the true darkness of despair.
The darkening aura around Xia Chuyi was suddenly interrupted by a voice from behind.
"Chuyi, are you alright?" It was Xia Chengzong.
Xia Chuyi’s expression brightened in a second, she looked up, surprised, "Big Brother, why are you still here?"
She waved her hand dismissively, "Let’s go, we should visit Xiao Gui in the ward!"
In the ward, the nurse had just finished giving the instructions when she spoke to Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia, "Family members, you have been up all night, it’s best to go back and rest a bit. The patient might wake up at any moment after the anesthesia wears off."
Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia looked at each other, none wanted to leave.
"You can stay overnight, just go to the nurse station to handle the paperwork," the nurse added, understanding the family’s feelings.
Aunt Xia stood up, as Uncle Xia had difficulty walking, "I’ll go..."
Before she could finish.
"I’ll go, Aunt Xia," Xia Chuyi walked in and said.
Only then did Aunt Xia notice her, she shook her head and said, "Why would you go, young child, don’t worry about so much, you go rest!"
Her tone was very disdainful.
But it made her nose feel sour.
That sharp-tongued but soft-hearted aunt, she was back.
Her husband was here, so was her son.
That hot-tempered, but tender-hearted Aunt Xia, she was back.
After she spoke, Aunt Xia headed directly to the nurse station.
Xia Chuyi sniffled and said, "Aunt Xia, I’ll come with you."
Aunt Xia didn’t refuse, and the two went to the nurse station and took care of the overnight stay paperwork.
On their way back, halfway through, Aunt Xia suddenly sighed, "Chuyi, do you have some grievances against your aunt?"
