章 453: Chapter 454: Can't Cry

"Good girl." The chief doctor first disinfected Guibao's fingertips with a cotton swab and tweezers, then gently pricked her with a needle.

Helian Qiao immediately felt a sting that brought tears to her eyes, but she endured the pain silently.

After all, she was from the Dragon Clan and absolutely could not cry, otherwise, it would be a disgrace to the dragons!

Ma Xiulian, on the other hand, couldn't help shedding a tear for her precious one, quickly wiping her eyes with her sleeve.

When had her Guibao ever suffered like this before? Both enduring hunger and needle pricks, it's a huge torment.

After drawing the blood, the chief doctor praised her in a soothing tone typically used with children, "Guibao didn't even shed a tear. You're truly brave."

Helian Qiao raised her little chin, expressing pride and said, "I am the bravest!"

Her words would have been more convincing if not for her tear-filled eyes.

"Guibao is the bravest." Gu Tingyun agreed, nodding in approval.
