Chapter 137: One hundred and thirty-seven This needle really hit Gu Chen in the heart!_1 Chapter 137: One hundred and thirty-seven This needle really hit Gu Chen in the heart!_1 “Okay, Daddy will wait for Tangtang to grow up, waiting for Tangtang to protect Daddy!”

As he spoke, his voice began to tremble uncontrollably.

His Tangtang had always been a sensible child.

Not just in the past life, even at such a young age, she was so sensible, sensibly heart-wrenching.

The young nurse thought Gu Chen’s trembling was because he was worried about his daughter’s pain, his heart aching for her.

She couldn’t help but envy Tangtang for having such a good father like Gu Chen.

Who loved her so much.

She then thought of her own father, always with a stern face, and the more she thought about it, the more envious she became.

If all fathers could love their children like Gu Chen loves his daughter, then all the children in the world would probably be happy.

She pursed her lips and unconsciously came up with a childish thought.

If only I were Tangtang.

I would definitely have a very beautiful childhood!

No one knew what this seemingly ordinary father and daughter had experienced.

Nor would anyone know the tragic story that happened in their family in their past life.

…

The door to the blood draw room was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman came out, holding her arm.

Following that, the nurse’s cold voice rang out from inside.

“Next!”

Gu Chen swallowed hard, looking at Tangtang with heartache.

“Are you ready?”

The little girl nodded obediently and flashed Gu Chen a smile, showing her tiny white teeth.

“Tangtang is not afraid!”

She was the bravest!

Although she didn’t know if drawing blood was painful, nor did she understand what was happening.

But just now, she had clearly felt her father seemed to be in discomfort.

Tangtang didn’t want to make Daddy uncomfortable.

So she must not feel pain!

Gu Chen carried Tangtang into the blood draw room.

He then carefully rolled up Tangtang’s sleeve, exposing the plump, tender little arm, before presenting it to the nurse across from him.

“Nurse, please be gentle, the child is small…”

Gu Chen spoke with eyes filled with brightness from his distress.

He really didn’t want the child to suffer, but the check-up was also for Tangtang’s better health.

Seeing that the blood-drawing nurse was Xiao Zhou, the nurse Wang Lili, who came with Gu Chen, couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious.

Xiao Zhou was new and had just passed her probationary period; her skills were extremely unstable.

Wang Lili really wanted to do it herself.

But there was no way, as it wasn’t her shift in the blood draw room today, and there were rules; they couldn’t just switch around at will.

She could only anxiously instruct Xiao Zhou, “Be careful, this is the director’s friend.”

Hearing this, the blood-drawing nurse tensed up.

My goodness, the director’s friend huh, can’t neglect that!

If this needle isn’t done well, the director will certainly criticize me!

She nodded nervously, “Don’t worry, I’ll do it properly!”

After saying that, she picked up Tangtang’s little arm.

She then frowned slightly.

“Oh, this child’s veins are a bit thin.”

The truth was that with such a young child, the veins are naturally thin, and being a novice, it was only natural to be nervous!

Having said this, the nurse picked up the needle connected to the test tube, ready to insert it into Tangtang’s arm.

The little girl only understood what blood drawing was when she saw the needle.

That it was going to prick her!

And such a thick needle!

Thicker than her mother’s embroidery needle!

Because of fear, her little hand trembled instantaneously.

But unexpectedly, she did not retract it.

Gu Chen quickly looked down at the Tangtang in his arms, calming her with a gentle voice.

“Good girl, close your eyes, and you won’t feel anything with your eyes closed.”

Tangtang’s little face paled from fear, but she silently closed her eyes.

This time, she was truly frightened!

That needle was way too big!

Seeing the little guy close his eyes, the nurse followed by wiping iodine on Tangtang’s arm.

Then a tourniquet was tied, and a needle was jabbed into Tangtang’s arm.

Gu Chen’s heart clenched in the instant the needle pierced Tangtang’s arm.

The next second, he saw the nurse across staring intently at the blood collection tube.

Then her face filled with panic as she said, “No, no, this isn’t right, why isn’t there any blood?”

The amount of blood was clearly different from what she usually drew.

In that instant, Gu Chen’s heart leaped to his throat!

He couldn’t help but grew stern in his expression.

What the hell was going on here!!!

Seeing this, the nurse beside Gu Chen, Wang Lili, also panicked and hurriedly shouted, “Remove the needle, it’s wrong, why aren’t you removing it!”

With her shout, Xiao Zhou finally snapped back to reality and hurriedly pulled the needle out.

She repeatedly apologized to Gu Chen, “I’m so sorry, I really am very sorry.”

Because she was tending to the director’s friend, she was nervous, and having made a mistake once, she became even more nervous. Her voice trembled, and she was nearly in tears.

Gu Chen suppressed his anger and glared at her, but didn’t say anything.

He looked down and his heart ached for Tangtang.

“Does it hurt?”

The little girl’s face turned as white as a sheet from the pain, and fine sweat covered her little chin.

Hearing her father’s voice, the little girl opened her big, black eyes.

Biting her milk teeth, she shook her head at Gu Chen, “It doesn’t hurt.”

In her heart, there was a firm belief.

And that was not to feel pain!

Hearing Tangtang say it didn’t hurt, Gu Chen felt somewhat relieved.

He looked at the nurse opposite him.

His tone somewhat unfriendly, “Do you have anyone else here?”

He had brought his wife and child here precisely because the medical facilities were supposed to be good, it being the biggest hospital. How could such a thing happen?

Hearing this, the young nurse lowered her head.

“No, there’s no one, it’s lunchtime now, and everyone’s gone to eat, I’m the only one here.”

Only then did Gu Chen realize that it was already noon!

It was indeed time for lunch.

He was out of options, and Tangtang seemed to realize something.

Enduring the pain, she looked at Gu Chen with pitiful eyes.

She asked seriously, “Daddy, is it not done yet?”

Gu Chen helplessly nodded.

“Yeah, why don’t we wait a bit and then come back?”

Although he knew the nurse hadn’t done it on purpose, and he could see she was truly remorseful,

as a father, Gu Chen just couldn’t trust her to try again.

It hurt Tangtang to be pricked, but the pain was in his heart.

What if she couldn’t get it right again?

His daughter would suffer for nothing twice!

Tangtang was sitting in Gu Chen’s lap when her stomach suddenly let out an unexpected “gurgle.”

She looked up at Gu Chen with hopeful eyes.

“Daddy, Tangtang is hungry.”

Gu Chen rubbed his chin against her warm little head, “Let’s go eat then, shall we? We can come back after eating.”

After saying this, he remembered that he didn’t know whether Ji Pianran had come out yet.

If she hadn’t, he would still need to wait with Tangtang for her.

But now Tangtang was hungry.

What was he supposed to do? He loved both his wife and child so much.

Hearing this, Xiao Tangtang shook her head, “Tangtang doesn’t hurt, let’s finish and then go eat.”

She didn’t want to come back again!

It really hurt too much!

But she couldn’t say that.

The little one’s sensibility once again stunned everyone.

Even Gu Chen was taken aback.

His Tangtang was just too sensible.

She didn’t seem like a two and a half year old child at all—her intelligence had to be at least that of a four-year-old!
