Chapter 188 - Suddenly Regretted
After what seemed like an eternity, Guo Jianye's agony was finally subdued.
Jiang Hao withdrew the needle only after the vast depletion of chaotic Qi within him left his complexion deathly pale, his body resembling one dredged from water.
Moreover, employing the Great Five Elemental Yin Yang Needle Technique twice had taken a significant toll on his mental stamina.
Having endured immense suffering, Guo Jianye now succumbed to a deep slumber.
Jiang Hao glanced at Guo Jianye, managing a weak smile before venting his frustration.
“Damn, from now on, I need to pack enough Vital Essence when I go out. Otherwise, it could be the death of me!”
His thoughts then turned to his cousin and aunt waiting anxiously outside. With a feeble voice, Jiang Hao beckoned them.
“Cousin, Aunt, please come in!”
With that, Jiang Hao laboriously shifted to a nearby chair.
Outside the room, Mu Xiaohua and Guo Yifei, fraught with concern, sprang into action upon hearing Jiang Hao's frail call.
Specialist Hong was right on their heels, his fate now firmly in Jiang Hao's hands, ready to curry favor wherever possible.
Upon entering, Mu Xiaohua and Guo Yifei were greeted by the sight of Guo Jianye lying still on the bed, which left them momentarily paralyzed with shock.
Jiang Hao, seeing their distress, spoke with a touch of irritation.
“My uncle just went through an ordeal of pain. He's better now and has simply fallen asleep.”
“I've eradicated all the cancer cells from his body. You can take him for a full check-up now.”
At this news, Mu Xiaohua and Guo Yifei's faces lit up with ecstatic relief, and even Hong Yangwei, standing behind them, couldn't hide his astonishment.
“Hurry, let's get your dad to a comprehensive check-up right away!”
Mu Xiaohua, gazing at the serene figure of Guo Jianye, urged them on.
She was about to whisk the bed away when Specialist Hong interjected.
“Rest assured, Divine Doctor Jiang, I'll have Xiao Liu come up immediately to take Mr. Guo for a complete examination!”
Jiang Hao nodded, signaling his acceptance of the kind gesture.
Specialist Hong was overjoyed at Jiang Hao's simple acknowledgment—Divine Doctor Jiang was finally willing to engage with him!
At that moment, Guo Yifei noticed something amiss with Jiang Hao and quickly approached him with concern.
“Little brother, what's wrong?”
Jiang Hao turned to his cousin, his face breaking into a relieved smile.
“It's nothing, cousin. I'm just a bit drained. I'll be fine after some rest.”
Guo Yifei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his words.
Meanwhile, Mu Xiaohua watched Jiang Hao with a complex gaze, having been informed of the Jiang Family's situation by Guo Yifei.
She came to a momentous decision.
With determination, she stepped forward and gave Jiang Hao a deep bow.
“Thank you, Hao Hao!”
“I was wrong before. Please forgive me!”
Seeing this, Jiang Hao smiled with satisfaction.
If this incident led to his aunt's heartfelt change of heart, it was all worthwhile.
“We're family; no need for thanks, Aunt!”
Guo Yifei, squatting by Jiang Hao's side, smiled beautifully at the scene.
The family reconciling and releasing past grievances was the best possible outcome.
Soon after, several young men arrived with a gurney to transport Guo Jianye, with Mu Xiaohua and Specialist Hong following suit.
Guo Yifei stayed back to keep Jiang Hao company.
With Guo Jianye taken away, Jiang Hao lay down on the vacated sickbed, closing his eyes as he delved into the system.
