Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter
Chapter 453 - 454: Can’t Cry

Chapter 453: Chapter 454: Can’t Cry

"Good girl." The chief doctor first disinfected Guibao’s fingertips with a cotton swab and tweezers, then gently pricked her with a needle.

Helian Qiao immediately felt a sting that brought tears to her eyes, but she endured the pain silently.

After all, she was from the Dragon Clan and absolutely could not cry, otherwise, it would be a disgrace to the dragons!

Ma Xiulian, on the other hand, couldn’t help shedding a tear for her precious one, quickly wiping her eyes with her sleeve.

When had her Guibao ever suffered like this before? Both enduring hunger and needle pricks, it’s a huge torment.

After drawing the blood, the chief doctor praised her in a soothing tone typically used with children, "Guibao didn’t even shed a tear. You’re truly brave."

Helian Qiao raised her little chin, expressing pride and said, "I am the bravest!"

Her words would have been more convincing if not for her tear-filled eyes.

"Guibao is the bravest." Gu Tingyun agreed, nodding in approval.

Ma Xiulian also joined in the praise, "Yes indeed, our Guibao is both brave and magnificent. When we get home, Mom will cook meat for Guibao!"

"Dad will take Guibao to the state-run restaurant for big meat buns!" Chen Jianjun enthusiastically joined.

Chen Dazhu stood aside with his hands behind him, racking his brain for words of praise but found himself lacking, only managing a heavy nod and an "Mm-hmm", "What your mom and dad said is right."

The doctors standing aside, listening to their praises for the little girl, couldn’t help but marvel. It was rare to see rural folks dote on their daughters so much.

Yet, in the face of all the praises, Helian Qiao maintained her Dragon Clan’s pride and dignity, while secretly glancing at the small red dot on her finger.

It really hurts!

And her wrist ached too. Seeing several bruised needle marks on her fair wrist, she was taken aback.

While she was sleeping, had these white-coated humans dared to sneakily poke her with needles?!

Seeing this, Gu Tingyun immediately said, "Guibao, once you are discharged from the hospital, we’ll go out for dog meat hot pot together."

Knowing she had been longing for dog meat for a long time, he specifically asked the restaurant to prepare it, thinking to compensate the little girl who had been sleeping for so many days.

Upon hearing this, Helian Qiao’s eyes lit up. She snuffled and asked in a soft voice, "Will we have it tomorrow?"

She had never tried dog meat hot pot before.

Before Gu Tingyun could even nod, Chen Jianjun hurriedly agreed, "Alright, Dad will take Guibao for dog meat hot pot tomorrow."

Watching as Gu Tingyun managed to please their daughter with promises of milk and hot pot, a sense of crisis inexplicably arose in his heart.

This little guy is too good at pleasing their Guibao!

Knowing she would have dog meat hot pot tomorrow, Helian Qiao’s chubby face instantly beamed, immediately forgetting about her covert needle-pricking ordeal.

Despite having his promise usurped, young master Gu didn’t mind. As long as his little girl was happy, it was all good.

"Doctor, how is Guibao’s condition?" Seeing the doctor had finished his examination, Ma Xiulian asked anxiously.

The chief doctor replied, "For now, everything is normal. If the blood test comes back normal too, Guibao can be discharged. However, since she has been sleeping for so many days, it would be better for her to walk around a bit and move her limbs."

"Thank you, Doctor. Thank you," Ma Xiulian thanked repetitively, her tensed nerves finally easing a bit.

Upon hearing this, Helian Qiao tilted her head and asked, "Grandma, how long have I been asleep?"

"A full four days. We couldn’t wake you up no matter how hard we tried. You scared Grandma half to death." Ma Xiulian stroked her little head, her eyes full of lingering fear.

Upon hearing that she was only asleep for four days and yet felt this hungry, Helian Qiao frowned discontentedly, thinking herself weak!
