Huo Juanyan met Nan Yu's confident gaze and, though he had many questions, ultimately swallowed them back.
His eyes darkened slightly as he extended his right hand onto the desk.
"Trouble Doctor Li."
Sitting across from him, Nan Yu rested her fingers on his wrist and began to take his pulse in concentrated silence.
Behind his mask, Huo Juanyan watched Nan Yu's movements, observing as she closed her eyes and checked his pulse with serious dedication.
He involuntarily quieted his breathing, silently waiting for her verdict.
Chen Li stood by the side, also not daring to make a sound.
The study fell silent, filled only with the sound of their breathing.
Time passed uncertainly until Nan Yu opened her eyes.
She sharply turned to Huo Juanyan's legs. "Family Head, may I examine your legs?"
Huo Juanyan nodded, his voice cold. "Yes."
Having said that, he lifted the woolen blanket from his legs and handed it to Chen Li.
