Hearing Xiaobei's soft banter, Ling'er and Qu Lei exchanged glances, knowing that there was indeed no need to be tense now.
Feeling the atmosphere relax a bit, Xiaobei smiled.
He resumed seriously taking Ling'er's mother's pulse.
Initially, Xiaobei didn't find any problems at all.
Because her pulse was particularly calm...
But gradually, Xiaobei sensed some issues.
It was that her pulse was too calm.
Normally, a healthy person's pulse would have some fluctuations, but hers had none, like stagnant lifeless water!
"No wonder doctors can't figure it out!"
Murmuring quietly to himself, Xiaobei exhaled a turbid breath and slowly withdrew his hand.
...
"Xiaobei, how's my mom?"
"Yeah!"
Ling'er and Qu Lei, who had been watching Xiaobei intently, spoke quickly just as Xiaobei pulled his hand back.
They were truly extremely nervous at that moment...
They wanted Xiaobei's response but didn't want to receive it either.
Because they feared what they might hear would be bad news...
