In the end, she could not help but ask softly.
“Miss Gu, what is this?”
Xiang Yin did not have time to stop him. His eyes darkened and he was about to stop the old man when he heard a response from the room.
“It’s just calming incense. Too much energy was used when treating Guo Guo just now. She needs a good sleep.”
At the same time, Gu Man pushed open the door and entered. Only then did she realize that there was already smoke lingering inside. She could only vaguely see a figure lying on the bed.
The old man subconsciously walked towards the door, but he was blocked by Gu Man’s outstretched hands.
“You can’t go in yet. You can’t go in for half an hour.”
The old man was worried, but he still chose to believe Gu Man.
“Guo Guo, how’s the situation now?”
Gu Man could see the worry on the old man’s face and explained patiently to him.
“Guo Guo is fine now. She’s just too tired and fell asleep. She’ll be fine in a while.”
“Can she be cured?”
What the old man cared about the most was Guo Guo’s illness. As for the pain, no matter how much his heart ached, it was not as important as curing the illness. Only by successfully curing the illness could she not be tortured by the illness.
“She can be treated, but her body is too weak now. She needs to be nourished before she can undergo the next step of treatment.”
When the old man heard this, a guilty expression appeared on his face. If it weren’t for him, Guo Guo wouldn’t have been malnourished.
“Miss Gu, don’t worry. I’ll definitely supervise Guo Guo to eat properly.”
“Is Guo Guo in school now?”
Gu Man looked around and asked the question that she had been curious about for a long time.
She often saw Guo Guo being active on the dark web. She was a little curious about whether she goes to school. She was clearly at the age where she should be going to secondary school.
The old man’s face immediately revealed a guilty expression.
“Because of this illness, 1 already have a lot of debts, so I don’t have the ability to provide for Guo Guo’s schooling. It’s really tough for her to be with me.”
Gu Man nodded without any sympathy on her face, but her words made the old man’s heart skip a beat.
“I can send Guo Guo to school.”
The old man’s pupils trembled violently, as if he could not believe what he had heard. He looked in Gu Man’s direction in disbelief.
“How can that be? I’m already very grateful that you can treat Guo Guo’s illness. I feel guilty for letting you provide for Guo Guo to go to school.”
As he spoke, the old man was about to kneel down. Gu Man did not dare to let him kneel. She held his arm with both hands and frowned, not knowing what to do.
When Xiang Yin saw this, he spoke at the right time.
“Sir, you don’t have to worry. There’s an agency in society that specializes in helping people in your situation. You can seek their help.”
When Gu Man heard this, she looked at Xiang Yin in agreement.
She did not know how to find an excuse. It was not bad to say that it was an organization, but most of the organizations were evil. She decided to interfere and let Guo Guo go to school.
After all, she was someone she thought highly of. How could she not have an education? Moreover, since she could achieve something in computers, her standard was definitely not bad. All she lacked was academic qualifications.
The old man was so excited that his tears had already fallen. He didn’t pay much attention to the Internet. The only electronics they had was a phone and computer he bought for Guo Guo.
Indeed, he did not know that such organizations existed.
“Isn’t it bad to owe someone a favor?”
However, it was obvious that the old man was exceptionally honest and did not want to trouble others.
Gu Man patiently explained the existence of such organizations to him. The old man’s tears surged even more.
“Indeed, there are many good people like Miss Gu in this world.”
“I just did what needed to be done. Besides, you’ve paid me. Consider it a deal.”
Gu Man had already emphasized their relationship many times, but the old man was especially stubborn. He still felt that although the stone had a special meaning to him, it was really not anything valuable.
Therefore, no matter what Gu Man said, he still wanted to repay her..
