Jiang Yuan's body was like a fully drawn bow, every inch of his muscles was tense due to extreme pain, and the blue veins bulged out like twisted earthworms under his thin skin, as if they were about to tear out in the next second!
His nails dug deep into Jiang Zhou's back, leaving several bloody marks, but Jiang Zhou seemed to feel no pain.
He did not let go, but instead used his pair of iron-like arms to hold Jiang Yuan tighter, as if he wanted to pour all his strength and faith into this body on the verge of collapse.
His chin pressed tightly against Jiang Yuan's sweaty forehead, his eyes reddened, and he roared word by word with all his strength:
"Brother! Be patient! Just be patient a little longer!"
"Trust me! Just bear with it--!!!"
This voice, rather than a comfort, was an unquestionable order, filled with a desperate madness and determination!
Downstairs, Jiang Wenhai and Zhou Minzhen were so frightened by the scream that they almost crawled up the stairs.
But as soon as they reached the door, they were pinned to the spot by Jiang Zhou's equally beast-like roar.
Time seemed to stretch so long at this moment.
One minute.
Two minutes.
…
The heart-wrenching screams seemed like a curse that would never stop.
Every second is the cruelest torture for the parents downstairs.
Just when Jiang Wenhai was about to collapse and rush in——
Five minutes, here we go.
It was as if an invisible switch was pressed with a "click".
The terrifying roar came to an abrupt end.
There was dead silence in the room.
It was horribly silent.
Jiang Yuan's convulsive body suddenly relaxed and he collapsed completely in Jiang Zhou's arms.
He opened his mouth wide, like a fish thrown ashore, his chest heaving violently, and he made heavy gasping sounds of "huh...huh..."
Sweat soaked his hair and clothes, making him look like he had just been pulled out of the water.
but……
It doesn't hurt anymore.
The poisonous snake that had been entwined in his spine, gnawing at his flesh and sanity day and night, disappeared.
Surprisingly, it doesn't hurt anymore...
This thought was like the first ray of morning light that suddenly appeared in the chaotic world, faint, but carrying an incomparable shock.
However, as soon as the light rose, an irresistible, overwhelming drowsiness swept over me.
His eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
So sleepy... so sleepy...
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had truly fallen asleep.
He wants to... have a good sleep...
Before he could finish his thought, Jiang Yuan's eyelids closed heavily, and his breathing became steady and long in an instant.
Jiang Zhou felt the changes in the body in his arms, and his nerves, which had been tense to the extreme, finally relaxed.
He carefully laid Jiang Yuanping on the bed and said to the two people outside the door: "Have someone prepare a new set of bedding."
Jiang Wenhai and Zhou Min woke up as if from a dream, nodded mechanically, and staggered to call the servants.
Jiang Zhou bent down and picked up the skinny Jiang Yuan by the waist.
He walked into the bathroom, warm water rushed down, and he cleaned the dirt off his brother's body with his own hands, wiped away the traces of pain and despair, and also washed away the last dignity that had long been solidified.
When Jiang Zhou carried the refreshed Jiang Yuan out of the bathroom, the servants had already laid out new sheets and bedding.
Looking at his son sleeping peacefully, with even a hint of long-lost color on his face, Jiang Wenhai dropped the cigarette in his hand to the ground with a "click".
Zhou Min, who had already cried all her tears, now covered her mouth and cried silently.
This...how is this possible?
Every time he has an attack, he won't stop until he has been tormented for several hours and exhausted everyone.
Today, from start to finish, it only took a few minutes!
And, he actually fell asleep? Sleeping so soundly?
Jiang Wenhai suddenly raised his head, and a startling light burst out from his cloudy pupils. He grabbed Jiang Zhou's arm, his voice trembling violently with excitement:
"Xiao Zhou! You...what method did you use?!"
