Chapter 1577: Showing Care for Her
Shen Mei had originally called Qiao Nian Doctor Qiao, but later on, she heard Lina call Qiao Nian Nian. So she also called her Nian Nian.
Next was to help Shen Mei with acupuncture. Qiao Nian gestured for Shen Mei to lie on the bed. She first let Shen Mei fall asleep before starting to perform the acupuncture.
Lina came in with some snacks. Seeing that Shen Mei’s back was covered in silver needles, she could clearly see the abnormal bulge on her back. Her expression changed drastically. She didn’t say anything and just sat quietly at the side.
After Qiao Nian performed acupuncture on Shen Mei, she chatted with her for a while longer before leaving Shen Mei’s room with Lina.
The two of them walked to the garden. Lina looked at Qiao Nian worriedly and asked softly, "Nian Nian, that thing on my mother’s back..."
"It’s a Gu worm." Qiao Nian pursed her lips and explained, "It’s a puppet Gu. When the Gu worm grows up, it will listen to the master of the mother Gu. When that happens, Madam will become a puppet."
Lina’s eyes turned red. Previously, she had heard from Nian Nian that her mother had a Gu worm in her body, but at that time, she had been far away and hadn’t seen the Gu worm clearly. However, she had seen it clearly just now. The Gu worm looked like it was under her mother’s skin. Her heart was about to jump out of her mouth.
"Previously, the Gu worm had been deep in Madam’s body. If you don’t look carefully, you won’t be able to see the Gu worm in her body." Qiao Nian paused for a moment and continued, "During this period of time, I’ve been helping Madam with acupuncture. The Gu worm has already crawled out from the depths of her body, so you can see it more clearly."
