Chapter 646: Like A Child
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Unexpectedly, just this simple sentence made Gu Man’s expression change. “No, that medicine is only temporary. If you take it for a long time, it will poison your body.”
Guo Guo’s happy face changed. “Then I drank for so long. It’s not harmful to my body, right?”
“Your body has already been corroded by parasite worms. Why are you still worried about other poisons?” Gu Man couldn’t help but look at Guo Guo in amusement.
Hearing Gu Man’s words, Guo Guo suddenly realized the change in her mentality. Previously, when she knew that she had no hope, she did not care about anything. She did not even care about life and death. But now that her illness had been cured, she became even more afraid of death.
However, such a change might not be a bad thing.
“Since you’ve recovered, you naturally have to think about how to treat yourself better.” Guo Guo’s face revealed a relieved expression. He was not ashamed of the change in his attitude.
Humans were creatures that pursued benefits and avoided harm. After knowing that she had no hope, it was normal for her to choose to give up. After knowing that she had a chance to continue living, it was normal for her to become afraid of death.
Because of this serious treatment, Guo Guo’s attitude towards Gu Man had completely changed. She even dared to play with her.
Gu Man sensed the change in Guo Guo and smiled faintly. “The Chinese medicine this time is not as bad as before. If you want the previous…”
Before she could finish speaking, Guo Guo interrupted her firmly, “No need. 1 prefer these soothing medicines.”
The two of them looked at each other and suddenly laughed. However, before they could laugh for long, they were interrupted by an urgent knock on the door.
“Guo Guo, AAiss Gu, you guys…” The old man didn’t finish his sentence, but he had already reached the end.
In the quiet room, the two of them’s sudden laughter was indeed a little abrupt. In order to avoid the old man’s worry, Guo Guo quickly said, “Grandpa, I’m fine!”
Her tone was more cheerful than before. The old man outside the door was stunned for a moment before he laughed. His laughter seemed sudden, but it was especially sad.
It was a relieved smile, a happy smile, the joy of finally fulfilling a wish.
However, the old man outside was smiling more and more happily. Guo Guo’s tears flowed uncontrollably.
Gu Man handed over a piece of paper at the right time. Guo Guo calmed down for a long time before she controlled her emotions the moment the old man pushed open the door and entered.
“Grandpa…” Guo Guo looked up at the old man’s face. He had never felt so old at this moment.
Previously, she had chosen to ignore all of this because the illness in her body could not be cured. She simply gave up on herself and ignored the people around her.
Only then did she realize that her grandfather had gradually aged because he was busy with her illness, but she had only realized it now.
“Guo Guo!” The old man walked forward excitedly and hugged Guo Guo tightly. “Look, our illness can be cured. Grandpa can take you wherever you want to go. It’s just that Grandpa is penniless now. Wait for me for a few years. Grandpa can still go out to work now.”
Guo Guo, who had already controlled her emotions, burst into tears again because of these words. She couldn’t take it anymore and cried. At this moment, she seemed to really be like a child.
“Grandpa, I don’t want you to work. I can work and earn money!” Guo Guo’s words were extremely serious, but in Grandpa’s eyes, it was just a joke.
“Guo Guo, you’re still so young. How can Grandpa bear to let you work to earn money?” The old man pulled away from the two of them with a loving expression on his face. He reached out and stroked Guo Guo’s head, again and again, as if he was stroking a treasure.
“Grandpa…” Guo Guo’s words were stuck in her mouth because she could not explain everything she was doing now, nor could she explain where the huge sum of money came from. She was so young, and everything seemed so unreasonable to her..
