Ou Yanan, holding the blood pressure monitor, walked into Mother Gu's hospital room.
When Father Gu and Mother Gu saw him enter, they simultaneously turned their heads away, looking elsewhere.
Ou Yanan seemed not to notice their odd behavior and went to the bedside, following medical procedures to take Mother Gu's blood pressure.
The electronic blood pressure cuff wrapped around Mother Gu's wrist, inflating with a whooshing sound, and Mother Gu felt her heart pounding along with it.
This was even more torturous for her than death itself.
As if sensing Mother Gu's mood, Father Gu turned his head back to Ou Yanan and said, "Doctor, I think she's all better now; there's no need for all this fuss."
"Her blood pressure may typically be higher, and she hasn't noticed it herself," Ou Yanan said, his gaze fixed on the numbers of the blood pressure monitor, his face stern.
