Chapter 198 Don't Be Afraid

After I finished cleaning the breakfast dishes, I walked over to her and said gently, "Grandma, I'm feeling a little unwell. Can the doctor who came yesterday come and see me again?"

When grandma heard me say I was not feeling well, she immediately looked at me and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? I noticed something was wrong with you this morning, and you insisted that you didn't sleep well."

I said coquettishly: "Grandma, I know I was wrong."

Grandma knocked my head helplessly, and then immediately called the servant who was taking care of her: "Call Doctor Li immediately and ask him to come to the house to check Momo."

The servant left in response, and I secretly rejoiced that the first step of my plan had been successful.

I held onto the door frame, my heart was in turmoil, but I tried to remain calm and said to my grandmother, "Grandma, I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable. I'll go upstairs and wait. When someone comes, ask him to come to my room and check on me."

Grandma patted my hands lovingly and said, "Okay, dear, go and have a rest. I'll take you upstairs in a moment."

My heart skipped a beat. I must not let grandma come to my room! But I couldn't say it clearly now, so I could only go upstairs alone, silently praying that everything would go well.

When I returned to the room, I saw that Jiang Yichen had finished his meal and rested, and had no idea what was happening outside. I folded the quilt for him, and then stood on the balcony anxiously waiting for the doctor to arrive.

Soon, I heard a knock on the door and noisy footsteps outside. I ran to the door and opened it a crack. I saw the servant supporting my grandmother standing at the door, and standing next to her was Dr. Li who examined me yesterday.

I forced a smile and said to my grandmother, "Grandma, can you please let the doctor come in and check it out? We will tell you the results later."

Grandma smiled helplessly and said, "You little girl, you are getting shy, okay? Let's do as you say. We will wait downstairs."

My grandmother always doted on me and didn't suspect anything. I heaved a sigh of relief after they left, and quickly dragged Dr. Li in to quickly explain the current situation.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Li, I didn't mean to lie to you, it's just that my grandma is old and I don't want her to worry. Jiang Yichen is injured, can you help check him and give him a tetanus shot?" I looked at him expectantly.

The doctor frowned and said, "Let me check the wound first." As he spoke, he began to carefully examine Jiang Yichen's injuries.

The doctor carefully examined Jiang Yichen's wound, his face darkened, and he said sternly: "The wound is so deep that it needs stitches, and the wound has become inflamed, so it caused his high fever. You are just too ridiculous. With such a serious injury, why don't you go to the hospital?"

My heart tightened when I heard that, and then I realized that Jiang Yichen had a high fever again. I couldn't help but regret why I didn't take good care of Jiang Yichen. But before I could think too much, the doctor continued, "I'm going to go back and get the anesthetic, and then sew Jiang Yichen up."

Jiang Yichen stopped the doctor who was about to leave, shook his head, and opened his dry lips slightly: "No, just sew it directly."

I shouted in surprise, "How can that be possible? It would be so painful to sew it directly!"

Jiang Yichen shook his head firmly: "Grandma is very smart. He will definitely find out if he keeps going back and forth like this. It's better to make a quick decision to reduce Grandma's suspicion."

Jiang Yichen glanced at the doctor and said calmly, "Let's get started."

Seeing that the doctor was really going to stitch him up without anesthesia, I vaguely remembered that I had brought anesthetics in my suitcase that I used when I did live broadcasts of medical beauty projects before, and quickly said, "Wait a minute, I have anesthetics."

I quickly ran to the suitcase to look for it, and luckily I finally found the anesthetic I needed. Although the dosage was not large, it was enough to last until he finished the stitches.

I watched nervously as the doctor gently penetrated Jiang Yichen's skin with a thin needle, and my palms were covered with sweat.

Jiang Yichen smiled weakly at me and comforted me: "It's okay, don't be afraid. If you are really scared, then don't watch it."

I glared at Jiang Yichen. He was the one who was suffering, but he still had the leisure to coax me here.

But my heart was slightly calmed by his smile, and I held his hand tightly, hoping to give him some strength.

I saw a lot of sweat on Jiang Yichen's forehead. Even though the pain was unbearable, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

I tried to find some topics to distract him, but I found that we didn't seem to have any particularly good memories. This realization made me feel very depressed.

At this time, Jiang Yichen broke the silence and said, "Do you remember what you said when we got married?"

I tried to recall, but all I could think of were the threats I made that day and the unequal "Ten Rules of Conduct". I couldn't help but lower my head, and I didn't dare to look at Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Yichen said gently: "Do you still remember what I said?"

I buried my head deeper and whispered, "I don't remember it at all."

Jiang Yichen continued, "I said that day that I would protect you for the rest of my life."

I looked up at Jiang Yichen in surprise. He actually still remembered this sentence.

I was very disdainful of this statement at the time, but now that Jiang Yichen has really done it, I feel very despicable.

I don’t dare to expect Jiang Yichen to treat me like this forever, but I still hope in my heart that he can continue to fulfill this promise.

I asked cautiously, "Does this sentence still count?"

As he was speaking, the doctor had already finished the last stitch. He put down the tool in his hand and interrupted Jiang Yichen who was about to answer: "It's already been sewn."

The doctor turned around to get the anti-inflammatory medicine and gave Jiang Yichen an IV to reduce inflammation.

Then he told me, "Remember to remove the IV drip after the injection. Just take the anti-inflammatory medicine once a day. If there are any other changes in the wound, be sure to call me."

Then the doctor gave me his phone number.

I carefully wrote down every word the doctor said. When I turned around, I saw Jiang Yichen smiling at me. That smile seemed to contain some teasing and comfort.

I felt a little helpless, not knowing what was so funny, and glared at him secretly.

Before Dr. Li left, I repeatedly reminded him not to tell anyone that he was treating Jiang Yichen.

If anyone asks, just say I'm sick, especially grandma.

The doctor nodded, showing that he fully understood.

When we were sending the doctor downstairs, grandma came up to us and asked us with concern: "Momo, what's going on now?"
