"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you hitting yourself?"
Chu Mengyao and Chu Biyao rushed into the bedroom and saw Xu Li slapping herself. The two sisters were immediately taken aback.
The sisters gathered around Xu Li, their eyes full of anxiety and confusion.
"Don't make a fuss. It hurts a bit, and I wanted to slap myself to wake up."
Xu Li gave a bitter smile and concocted a lame excuse for herself. If her two daughters knew she was hitting herself to punish her darker side, she wondered what they would think.
The two sisters didn't overthink it. Chu Biyao said with concern, "Mom, don't hit yourself. You've been so sick. As long as you can heal, a little pain is nothing. Isn't there a saying that good medicine is bitter? Ye Fan's method of treatment is different from ordinary doctors'. If you just endure it, it won't hurt, so there's no need to hit yourself."
"I understand." Xu Li nodded with a laugh and tears, saying nothing more, nor explaining further.
