Even the best medicine can only keep him alive.

Why would someone who's half-buried be harming someone else's daughter?

As if understanding the implication of Gu Pingwei's words, the doctor angrily said, "Major! What kind of injury haven't you survived all these years? Isn't this just poison from the foreigners? Are you going to admit defeat?!"

"Your marriage was arranged by both sets of fathers. We must repay the life-saving grace! The report has been approved! Besides, you've been single for so many years. It would be better to have a wife by your side to help you recover."

He was trembling with anger.

She hated Gu Pingwei for ruining his body, and hated herself even more for her own incompetence.

How could a hero who served his country and its people die nameless and faceless in this desolate fishing village!

Gu Pingwei leaned against the hospital bed, exuding an aloofness that kept strangers at bay, and his attitude was even more resolute.

"Zhao Heng, you've been educated, how come you believe such nonsense just like my mother?"

A marriage to bring good luck?

If a marriage to bring good fortune were effective, why would they need to go into battle? How could so many brothers have died?

If he survives, that's fine, but if he dies, then the Jiang family girl will be living a life of widowhood.

These days, life must be incredibly difficult without a man in the house.

Dr. Zhao Heng looked defeated; he had never been able to win an argument with this man.

But this matter is already a done deal.

Just as the two were at an impasse, a loud voice suddenly rang out from outside the ward.

"Report!"

"Major, the lady has arrived!"

Jiang Jingxue had just reached the door of the ward when she overheard their conversation.

He couldn't help but frown.

On the way, she had imagined many things about how Major Gu would treat her.

But I never expected him to hate me so much.

Fine, it's good that she hates me. The sooner we get the divorce papers, the free she'll be.

Jiang Jingxue thought for a moment, her expression calm, and said in a sweet and gentle tone, neither humble nor arrogant, "Hello, I am Jiang Jingxue, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family."

Gu Pingwei and Zhao Heng suddenly heard the woman's voice and looked at her at the same time.

A flower symbolizing wealth and honor in the human world.

A tiny face, no bigger than the palm of his hand, came into view, its skin so white it dazzled him.

She was tall and curvaceous, her full breasts rising and falling with her breath, and even her loose clothes couldn't hide her graceful figure.

Such a woman exudes an indescribable charm.

Not to mention Major Gu and Dr. Zhao, veterans who have served in the military for decades.

Spending so many years in the military camp, when will I ever get to see such a stunning beauty!

Zhao Heng's eyes lit up immediately, and he exclaimed with joy, "Madam! It's Madam!"

Gu Pingwei's face was gloomy, and his body was getting increasingly hot.

No wonder, only a woman like that could write those kinds of letters!

He remembered that when he was very young, his parents took him to meet Jiang Jingxue once.

How did that innocent, clingy, naked little kid from my memory grow up so much?!

Whether this woman knows it or not, he needs to report his letters, as his superiors may conduct random checks at any time.

If those words are discovered, the Gu family will become a laughing stock in the capital!

"Girl Jiang, come here quickly! This is Major Gu, your new husband!" Zhao Heng greeted him happily, wanting the two young people to get closer.

Jiang Jingxue obediently approached, her eyes meeting Gu Pingwei's deep black gaze.

His face was pale, his breath was weak, and although his left leg was bandaged, there was a putrid smell in the air.

Jiang Jingxue approached and carefully examined his injuries. His head was wrapped in white gauze. The explosives had detonated on his left side, causing varying degrees of damage to the skin of his left hand and left leg. He had no feeling below his thigh.

The next second, her gaze settled on the man's bare abs.

Due to his physical condition, Gu Pingwei was only wearing a pair of military shorts.

The contrast between the bronze muscles and the reddish-brown scars creates a terrifying yet eerily sexy look.

Jiang Jingxue's gaze was too blatant, without the slightest attempt to conceal it.

Gu Pingwei's face darkened, and his low, hoarse voice suppressed his anger, "This is not a place for you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxue opened her eyes, let out a soft hum in her delicate voice, and came to his side to begin examining the wound.

Jiang Jingxue comes from a century-old family of doctors and is exceptionally gifted. She has also inherited her father's medical skills and is so skilled with silver needles that she can snatch people from the jaws of death.

Gu Pingwei's face was ashen, and his whole body exuded an aura of death. The fact that he could still lie there and talk was entirely due to his proud will.

Her snow-white, soft pancreas rested on his pulse, and she examined it closely.

Seeing her rudeness and her series of strange actions, everyone's expression changed.

Jiang Jingxue simply lifted the blanket covering the man's legs and loosened the bandage on his wound.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Heng's face turned pale with shock. "Jiang girl, you mustn't! These medicines are very expensive..."

The wound on the outside of her thigh was gradually festering, but she remained expressionless as she stared at the horrific wound.

"Jiang Jingxue! What are you doing?" Gu Pingwei's voice was hoarse, and his phoenix eyes, which had been suppressing his anger, were red.

How dare she touch that place with her hand!
