She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 263 You really can cure it?
Huo Junyan met Nan Yu's confident eyes. He had many questions he wanted to ask, but he swallowed them all back.

His eyes darkened slightly as he placed his right hand on the desk.

"Thank you for your help, Dr. Li."

Nan Yu sat in front of him, placed two fingers on his wrist, and began to take his pulse while holding her breath.

Huo Junyan watched Nan Yu's movements through the mask, and saw her close her eyes and take her pulse with a serious expression.

He unconsciously slowed his breathing and silently awaited her result.

Chen Li stood to the side, watching this scene, not daring to utter a sound.

The entire study fell silent instantly, with only the sound of each person breathing.

She didn't know how much time had passed before Nan Yu opened her eyes.

She gave Huo Junyan's legs a sharp look. "Patriarch Huo, may I take a look at your legs?"

Huo Junyan nodded and said coldly, "Okay."

After saying that, he took the initiative to lift the wool blanket off his legs and handed it to Chen Li.

Chen Li held Nan Yu in her arms, watching her movements nervously.

Nan Yu rolled up all his trouser legs, revealing his strong but numb legs.

She looked at his sickly pale legs and saw that the muscles hadn't atrophied, indicating that he regularly massaged his legs and took good care of them.

Nan Yu took out the silver needles, looked up and met Huo Junyan's gaze, her hoarse voice carrying a hint of tenderness.

"I'm going to administer acupuncture now. Let's see if you can still feel your leg. If you feel pain or numbness, just tell me."

Huo Junyan said solemnly, "Okay."

With two fingers holding needles, Nan Yu inserted the silver needles one by one into the acupoints on her thigh, like a swimming dragon.

Before long, both legs were covered with silver needles.

Having finished everything, Nan Yu looked at Huo Junyan again.

"Patriarch Huo, how do you feel now?" Huo Junyan frowned and carefully felt his legs. Just like before, he had no feeling at all, and his legs felt empty.

He shook his head coldly, "I don't feel anything."

Nan Yu extended her slender, white fingertips and pressed them against his thigh. "Does it hurt here?"

Huo Junyan still couldn't feel anything. "It doesn't hurt."

Nan Yu then pulled out a large silver needle and inserted it into an acupoint.

Suddenly, a fleeting, momentary pain shot through Huo Junyan's brain.

His forehead twitched. "I think I had a feeling just now."

Chen Li's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Dr. Li, is there any hope for the head of the family's leg?"

Nan Yu said calmly, "Patriarch Huo's leg ailment is more troublesome than I imagined."

The joy on Chen Li's face froze, replaced by a solemn expression.

"Dr. Li, can't you cure it either?"

Huo Junyan's expression also darkened, his pupils filled with endless darkness, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

It seems that this Dr. Li couldn't cure his leg either, and he's certainly not the legendary "ghost doctor."

Seeing the disappointed expressions on their faces, Nan Yu spoke with a clear smile in her voice.

“I only said it was tricky, but I didn’t say I couldn’t cure it.”

Chen Li's eyes lit up again. "Dr. Li, can you really cure it?"

Huo Junyan leaned over to look at Nan Yu, an unreadable emotion flashing in his eyes, his hands involuntarily clenching into fists.

Nan Yu stood up, her tone becoming serious, "Of course I can cure it, but curing both legs will be very difficult and the process will be very arduous. You might not be able to..."

Before she could finish speaking, Huo Junyan interrupted her, his dark eyes radiating coldness.

"No matter how hard or painful it is, I can endure it, but Dr. Li, can you really cure my leg?"
