Chapter 182 - 176 Lame Person
"This medicine is for applying to the legs and feet. Pain is inevitable, but I hope the young master can endure it. If possible, Kunling truly wishes she could bear this suffering in his place." Guan Kunling twisted a clean white towel in her hands, cautiously wiping Meng Shuyan’s legs. The usually cold look in her eyes was now filled with sorrow.
Wasn’t this exactly what she thought too? Tian Sangsang asked, "How severe is the pain?"
"It’s extremely painful. Indescribably painful. To restore the deadened senses, intense stimulation is necessary to provoke them."
He’s only a child, not even four years old. Tian Sangsang wiped away her tears. Yet, the more precious something is in this world, the harder it is to obtain. To be reborn with a better body, one’s physical form must endure great suffering; there is no such thing as a reward without cost. She understood it—she understood all of it. But as a mother, her emotions often outweighed her logic.
One wiped his legs, the other wiped his face.
Tian Sangsang was gently wiping Meng Shuyan’s forehead. Perhaps due to the sheer pain in his legs and feet, tiny beads of sweat appeared on his small brow. His thick eyelashes trembled like delicate fans, and his pale face was beginning to flush red.
"Yanyan... hold on. Mommy knows you’re the strongest child." She held his soft, tiny hand constantly encouraging him in a quiet voice beside his ear.
"Your dad is here. It’s your dad... You need to recover quickly so you can see him."
Guan Kunling’s hand paused slightly in its movement. Dad, Father? The young master’s father is here?
The seemingly endless moments felt like cruel torture as they ticked by. After about an hour, both Tian Sangsang and Guan Kunling were drenched with sweat, and the medicinal liquid had been fully applied.
Meng Shuyan’s complexion had returned to normal, his lips were no longer dry and lifeless; instead, they now carried a hint of color. Tian Sangsang affectionately placed her hand on his small forehead and brushed over it. Suddenly, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Yanyan, you’re awake." Tian Sangsang exclaimed in surprise and looked over at Guan Kunling, who was watching the little boy intensely, without blinking.
