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

Chapter 380 might be even more painful.
"Miss Nan, I've been waiting for you."

A single, simple sentence made Nan Yu's heart skip a beat.

She quickly regained her senses, and a gentle smile graced her beautiful face.

"I usually arrive on time, so you don't need to wait for me."

Huo Junyan closed the book in his hand and placed it on the bedside table next to him. Then he looked at Nan Yu. The black and gold mask was no longer cold in the sunlight. On the contrary, it carried a warm feeling.

He looked up at Nan Yu, his smile becoming even more pronounced.

"Your treatment is the most important thing."

Chen Li stepped forward and placed the box on the bedside table. Turning back to Nan Yu, she said, "Miss Nan, everything you arranged for me to prepare is ready. We can begin the treatment now."

Nan Yu stepped forward and said, "Secretary Chen, please wait outside."

Chen Li immediately agreed, left the bedroom, and thoughtfully closed the door behind her.

For a moment, only the two of them remained in the bedroom.

Nan Yu sat on the edge of the bed, raised her head slightly, and looked at Huo Junyan. "Patriarch Huo, let me take your pulse."

Huo Junyan obediently extended his hand and placed it in front of Nan Yu.

He looked down and saw Nan Yu's fair fingertips resting on his wrist. He then slightly lifted his eyelids and could see her intently watching him.

He just looked at her like that, and could clearly see her long, curly black eyelashes and her dark eyes, which were like a clear spring.

In the quiet bedroom, they could hear each other breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, Nan Yu withdrew her slightly cool fingertips, raised her clear eyes, and met Huo Junyan's gaze.

“Patriarch Huo, your condition is quite complicated. The ailments in your legs are also quite severe, more troublesome than I imagined. The next treatment will require increasing the dosage of medication and the duration of acupuncture.”

She paused, hesitated for two seconds, and then spoke.

“It might be even more painful.” Huo Junyan slowly withdrew his hand, a clear smile playing on his lips in his deep eyes beneath the mask.

"How painful could it be? It couldn't be more painful than never being able to stand up again."

He looked at her solemnly, "Nan Yu, you can do whatever you want to me, as long as you can help me stand up, I will cooperate unconditionally."

Upon hearing this, Nan Yu seemed to gain boundless confidence, and she met his gaze.

"Patriarch Huo, I will definitely help you stand up again."

Huo Junyan nodded slightly. "Yes, let's begin the acupuncture."

Nan Yu took out silver needles from the box, spread them all out, and then aimed them at Huo Junyan's acupoints, beginning to apply the needles one by one.

Huo Junyan witnessed this scene firsthand and could clearly see that Nan Yu was using twice as many silver needles as yesterday, and that she was also inserting needles into more acupoints than yesterday.

Before long, her legs were covered with dense silver needles.

Because he had no feeling in his legs, he could not feel anything and could only look at the silver needles inserted into his legs, wondering when he would be able to feel anything again.

After Nan Yu finished bandaging everything, she turned to Huo Junyan and said, "Patriarch Huo, you can take a nap. In half an hour, you might not feel so relaxed tonight."

Huo Junyan was wide awake. He shook his head. "No need."

After saying that, he picked up the book on the bedside table and started reading it again.

Seeing this, Nan Yu stopped trying to persuade him and left the bedroom to get the Chinese medicine that Chen Li had prepared for her.

Chen Li had already prepared the Chinese medicine as Nan Yu had arranged.

She handed it to Nan Yu, saying, "Miss Nan, here's the Chinese medicine you're drinking. Aunt Li has arranged the medicinal bath. You can soak in it right after your treatment."

Nan Yu took the bowl of scalding hot Chinese medicine and said to Chen Li, "Secretary Chen, thank you for your hard work. You can rest downstairs. No matter what happens later, please wait outside the door and don't let anyone in to disturb my treatment."
