Since Mr. Gu insisted on entering, Gu Chengyu couldn't very well stop him.
He supported Mr. Gu inside and found Doctor Li was withdrawing the silver needle.
"Get things ready! He's gone, so hurry with the funeral arrangements." Doctor Li had applied the needle to see if there was any glimmer of hope, since the body still felt warm.
Doing nothing was something he couldn't bear, though any efforts were futile.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li and the others began to wail again. Their hearts were filled with fear and uncertainty about the future.
Mr. Gu approached the side of the bed, and seeing Gu Chengyi in this state, felt a sharp constriction in his chest. He leaned on Gu Chengyu for support.
With just one glance, it seemed all his strength was drained.
Gu Chengyu looked worriedly at his father, regretting not having kept him out.
After a long while, Mr. Gu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and choked out, "Wipe him down and change him into presentable clothes."
