Chapter 606 Xiao Muli Wakes Up (1)_1
Xiao Muli awoke once more, and it was already noon the next day.
As soon as Xiao Muli opened his eyes, Old Master Xiao, who was standing outside the intensive care unit, had reddened eyes. Only after Situ Xin had completed the disinfection preparations did he enter the intensive care unit.
"Muli, you’ve finally woken up. If you hadn’t, Grandpa Xiao would’ve started doubting my medical skills," Situ Xin said, looking at Old Master Xiao’s eyes, which were already red from seeing Xiao Muli awake and now glistening with tears.
Situ Xin deliberately spoke out, fearing that Old Master Xiao’s emotions would get too excited, hoping to soothe them a bit.
Lying in the hospital bed, completely immobile, Xiao Muli was watching Old Master Xiao cry because of him, feeling unbearably distressed. Since his birth, aside from his grandmother’s death, this was the first time he had seen his grandfather cry. Even though the tears were still in his eyes and hadn’t fallen, it made Xiao Muli overwhelmed with guilt; "Grand—grandfather. I’m—alright, don’t—worry."
Xiao Muli struggled to speak, his words coming out in fits and starts. Yet even this simple sentence was like the best medicine to comfort his grandfather, Old Master Xiao, who replied, "Good, good, it’s good that you’re alright."
The spiritual energy injected into Xiao Muli’s body by Situ Xin was truly a marvelous thing, and the elixir she had given him greatly aided his recovery. That very night of his awakening, he was moved from the intensive care unit to a general ward.
Upon examining Xiao Muli’s medical reports, the head of the military hospital saw him in a completely new light, and in his heart, he wished he could take Xiao Muli to thoroughly research what made his body so exceptional, marveling at his powerful recovery abilities.
However, the head of the military hospital could only fantasize about studying Xiao Muli — he wouldn’t dare to actually do it, not with either Old Master Xiao or Situ Xin, both of whom he dared not provoke.
That Doctor Qiu, who had started Xiao Muli’s surgery, had been put to sleep by Situ Xin’s pressure-point technique and didn’t wake up until he found Situ Xin who personally released him. If Situ Xin hadn’t unsealed his pressure points, Doctor Qiu would have continued to sleep indefinitely.
After Xiao Muli was moved to a general ward, Old Master Situ took his granddaughter Situ Xin home. Old Master Situ wasn’t aware that after her cultivation, Situ Xin didn’t need to sleep. Seeing how Situ Xin had stayed up all night for Xiao Muli, he was deeply distressed.
