Chapter 842: The Psychic Master 6
For a moment, Old Master He stood frozen. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he hurriedly turned toward the sofa and spoke with utmost respect.
“Old Ancestor, I was mistaken just now and
treated you as my wife. Please don’t take offense!”
Tang Wan merely gave a faint nod in his
direction.
Seeing this, He Tongyang immediately
relayed obediently, “Grandpa, Wanwan says she forgives you.”
Only then did Old Master He finally breathe
a sigh of relief.
After composing himself, he looked at He
Tongyang again and said, “Tongyang, since she is our ancestor, you should
address her properly as well. You should call her ‘Grandmother.’”
That earlier misunderstanding had nearly
given him a scare—he had truly thought his late wife’s spirit had returned.
He Tongyang frowned slightly, his
expression conflicted. “But… she told me to call her Wanwan. She didn’t let me
call her ‘Grandmother.’”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze toward Tang
Wan, seeking confirmation. “Right, Wanwan?”
Tang Wan nodded without hesitation, her
tone warm with approval. “That’s right. Tong Tong is very smart.”
At her praise, He Tongyang’s face lit up
with a small but genuine smile.
At the same time, his favorability toward
her rose slightly.
However, due to the original owner’s
constant attempts to frighten him, his initial impression of her had been
extremely poor. Even with the increase, it had only just reached neutral.
Tang Wan didn’t mind.
With her current identity, she could remain
by his side every day. Given enough time, his attitude would naturally change.
Meanwhile, Doctor Huang stood nearby,
watching He Tongyang smile and speak to what appeared to be empty air. A chill
crept up his spine, and he instinctively rubbed his arms.
This was too unsettling.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that
examining the boy might not be such a good idea. What if the He family’s
so-called ancestor truly existed… and took offense at his actions?
Still, under the watchful presence of the
He family, he had no choice but to proceed.
Clearing his throat, he asked cautiously,
“Old Master He… shall we begin the examination?”
Old Master He nodded. “Yes.”
Then, turning once more toward Tang Wan’s
direction, he said respectfully, “Old Ancestor, please watch over Tongyang. He
is now the most gifted psychic of our He family.”
Tang Wan resisted the urge to roll her
eyes.
Even so, she still spoke gently to He
Tongyang, “Don’t be afraid, Tongtong. The doctor won’t give you an injection
for now—he’s just going to check your body.”
He Tongyang hesitated for a moment before
nodding reluctantly. “Okay…”
With that, Doctor Huang began his
examination.
After a thorough check, he finally let out
a breath of relief. “From the results, there is still a blood clot at the back
of his brain. It’s pressing against the neural tissue, which is why he’s
experiencing memory loss. Once the clot dissipates, his condition should return
to normal.”
Hearing this, Old Master He’s tense
expression eased.
“How long will it take for the blood clot
to disappear?” he asked quickly.
Doctor Huang thought for a moment before
answering, “At the earliest, about a month. At the longest, perhaps a year.
This isn’t something that can be rushed. Surgical intervention could carry
significant risks and may not yield a better outcome.”
Old Master He nodded solemnly. “I
understand. Thank you, Doctor Huang.”
“It’s my duty,” Doctor Huang replied.
Even as he spoke, his eyes couldn’t help
drifting once more toward the sofa where He Tongyang had pointed
earlier—though, of course, he saw nothing.
Tang Wan noticed his repeated glances and
couldn’t help but twitch her lips.
You can’t even see me. What are you staring
at?
And yet… being secretly watched like this—hidden in plain sight—was, oddly enough, a rather novel experience.
