Chapter 902

Zhu Yanyi finished her work, turned around, and looked at the bottle. A flash of anger crossed her eyes. She reached out her hand. "Bing Lan."

Bing Lan appeared in her hand instantly. Wrapped in the cold blue light, she picked up the porcelain bottle. The insect inside seemed to sense the danger and kept banging against the walls. But trapped by Bing Lan, it had no way to escape. Finally, it turned into ash.

After everything was done, Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan. Tears fell from her eyes one by one. Yan Aohan’s heart ached. He hurried over, pulled her into his arms, and patted her back. "Why are you crying suddenly?"

"Grandpa Chun was infected with a marrow-sucking gu worm," Zhu Yanyi said, her voice trembling. "I removed the worm, but it ate one-tenth of his brain. When Grandpa Chun wakes up, he will likely have serious aftereffects." The brain is the most mysterious part of the human body. With such damage, the consequences were severe.

"Don't be sad. Even with aftereffects, Grandpa Chun is alive," Yan Aohan said. He understood her pain. Grandpa Chun was not just her martial arts master, but also like a grandfather to her. Their bond was deep. Seeing a loved one suffer, it was natural for her to be heartbroken.

Zhu Yanyi sniffled. "I know. I will be strong in front of others. But I just want to cry a little. Only in front of you."

"Okay." Yan Aohan held Zhu Yanyi tightly. She was willing to cry in his arms, to show her vulnerability to him. He accepted it all. He was special to her, and she was special to him.

He just held the girl in front of him tightly. She wasn’t wailing loudly. She was silently shedding tears in his embrace. She dared not cry out loud, afraid of scaring others or disturbing Grandpa Chun, who had just finished surgery. But her heart was truly heavy with sorrow.

She didn’t say it out loud, but Grandpa Chun might become paralyzed due to the loss of one-tenth of his brain marrow. Even if his body recovered, his speech and movements might be slower than others. She didn’t say that he might forget many people. She was sad for Grandpa Chun, and worried for Grandpa Yao. Now that Grandpa Chun was in this state, she didn’t know how Grandpa Yao would react.

The two elders had been connected to her since she was five years old. Although they were technically master and disciple, they were more like grandparents and grandchild. Their bond was pure and deep.

Now that her grandfathers were in trouble, how could she not be sad? How could she not be worried? She felt as if a huge mountain was pressing on her heart. The feeling was overwhelming.

She wanted to vent, to cry loudly. But she knew she couldn’t. She didn’t have much time to grieve. For now, she could only cry in Yan Aohan’s arms. After crying, she would be the skilled young doctor again, the disciple of Grandpa Yao and Grandpa Chun. For them, she would study hard and save lives. But right now, she needed to cry. She was sad for Grandpa Chun and worried for Grandpa Yao.

About ten minutes later, she slowly stepped out of Yan Aohan’s embrace. She looked at the wet spot on his chest. "Your clothes are wet."

"It doesn’t matter." Yan Aohan took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. "Do you feel better?"
