Chapter 169 Dad, I...I'm in pain.

Around noon, Grandma Qiao and Qiao Xiaoyun were picked up by Di Zixuan.

Grandma Qiao's test results came back very quickly.

However, a biopsy is needed to determine whether the object in the brain is malignant or benign.

"Dr. Wan means that if it's a biopsy, he still recommends that we go to Kyoto Harmony Hospital, where the testing equipment and medical conditions are among the best in the country."

After returning home, the family sat in the living room, and Qiao Xiaoyun talked about the results of the check-up.

"Dr. Wan said he could write us a letter of introduction."

Finally, she turned her gaze to Qiao Changdong: "Dongzi, what do you think?"

Qiao Changdong remained silent.

Look at Grandma Qiao, and Qiao Qiao who is being held in her arms.

If possible, it's natural to go to the best hospital.

But Kyoto.

Qiao Changdong was afraid that Qiao Qiao would feel uncomfortable.

He couldn't possibly leave Qiao Qiao alone at home.

But let's go to Kyoto together—

"You can do it right here, there's no need to go so far." Grandma Qiao subconsciously hugged the warm little body in her arms tighter, lowered her eyelids, and said in a light tone.

Since the incident involving Chan Yuk-lin, her headaches have started to flare up from time to time.

Others may not know the reason.

But she knew it herself.

To a large extent, it was because she felt guilty, ashamed, heartbroken, and remorseful.

These complex emotions intertwined, making it almost impossible for her to sleep at night.

Otherwise, the headaches that started five years later in my previous life wouldn't have appeared so many years earlier.

She felt sorry for her granddaughter, who had experienced so many terrible things in her past life.

What makes them even more guilty is that their granddaughter has been reborn into this life and is carrying so many burdens, yet they, the adults, know nothing about it.

They didn't even bother to share the burden, let alone know about it.

Especially in the past few days, when she thought about what Chen Yulian had done, Grandma Qiao felt so guilty that she had to beat her chest to relieve the almost overwhelming sense of guilt.

Before learning that the child in Chen Yulian's womb was not Qiao Changdong's, Grandma Qiao had to admit that she had selfish motives in dealing with Chen Yulian's affairs.

Even on the night Chen Yulian had her attack, she clearly overheard the two sisters whispering and knew that they had deliberately plotted to smear Qiao Qiao.

However, for the sake of Chen Yulian's unborn child, and to prevent Qiao Changdong from directly confronting Chen Yulian at that time and causing chaos in the family, she deliberately kept the matter a secret and did not reveal it immediately.

Even later, if Qiao Qiao hadn't exposed the truth...

She may continue to keep it a secret due to various considerations.

Whenever I think about my selfishness, I feel a pang of regret for the harm I caused to Qiao Qiao.

Grandma Qiao couldn't sleep at night.

Many times, I would sit by the headboard all night, my heart burning with anxiety.

Later, Yan Liti and Shen Qingyan came to the Qiao family to ask for their child back.

They also discovered that there was something in their head.

Grandma Qiao thought.

This is probably the retribution for my selfishness.

She didn't cherish such a good child wholeheartedly, and now the retribution has come—the child's biological father and grandmother have come to take him away.

This is all retribution for her not cherishing her child!

This constant guilt made Grandma Qiao less concerned about her health.

If she can do it, she will; if she can't and dies, that's her fate.

"Of course we'll go!" Qiao Qiao turned to look at the old woman behind her when she heard Grandma Qiao's words, which were clearly tinged with dejection.

Her little face was full of anxiety: "Grandma, we need to go to the best hospital. Qiaoqiao will come with us. Qiaoqiao won't let anything happen to Grandma."

Even if surgery couldn't solve the problem, Grandma Qiao would die five years later, and she believed that with her spiritual cultivation at that time, she would be able to completely erase the things from her brain.

"My dear..." Seeing the anxiety on the little girl's face, Grandma Qiao lowered her eyes, and her eyes reddened without warning.

She wanted to ask the little girl, "Don't you blame Grandma at all?"

But the words caught in her throat, and she was too ashamed to say them.

She looked at the little girl with tears in her eyes.

What made her even more ashamed was...

She knew that if Chen Yulian's affair didn't come to light...

She might still continue to wrong this little girl in front of her, who, despite not being related by blood, is completely devoted to her as her grandmother, out of consideration for the possibility that the girl might be a member of the Qiao family.

The little girl treated her with a pure and innocent heart.

Because her grandmother was even slightly uncomfortable, she would continuously send spiritual energy to her.

To perform the surgery on her, he even overcame his greatest fear from his past life, insisting on going with her.

But what about her?

What did she do to this little girl?

This is what truly makes Grandma Qiao feel incredibly guilty.

Her selfish and self-centered grandmother doesn't deserve the little girl's kindness.

"Grandma?" Qiao Qiao was startled to see Grandma Qiao crying and quickly asked her, "Grandma, are you feeling unwell? Is your head hurting again? Don't be afraid, Qiao Qiao will channel spiritual energy into you, and Grandma will feel better soon."

As Qiao Qiao spoke, she reached for her large hand again, channeling spiritual energy into her to relieve her headache.

Qiao Changdong and the others nearby also anxiously gathered around.

But Grandma Qiao brushed away Qiao Qiao's little hand, then swatted away the others who were crowding around, and slapped herself across the face.

This slap.

Everyone was stunned by the attack.

Especially Qiao Qiao, who was still in her arms.

They were all terrified.

She looked at the old woman with teary eyes, not understanding why she had suddenly become like this.
