Chapter 135 Emergency Medical Treatment
The doctor left.
Zhu Jin's gaze gradually deepened.
He went upstairs: "Are you feeling better?"
Shen Shuangmiao nodded calmly, "Much better."
Zhu Jin remained silent for a moment, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
Seeing that he wanted to speak, Shen Shuangmiao asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there anything else you want to say?"
"There are some things I'll let you know when the time is right."
Zhu Jin pursed his lips: "Just stay here and relax for now."
Shen Shuangmiao frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant.
"you……"
"The soup is still hot downstairs. I'll go get it for you. Drink it while it's hot."
Zhu Jin didn't wait for her to say anything more before turning around and going downstairs.
Shen Shuangmiao seemed to be deep in thought. For some reason, she felt that Zhu Jin was hiding something from her.
But then I thought about it again, and since coming here, Zhu Jin has become much gentler, and has always been this profound.
So it's possible that I'm overthinking it.
Shen Shuangmiao didn't think about it any further.
...
The next day.
The doctor arrived on time for her follow-up examination.
After the inspection was completed, he casually brought up what happened yesterday.
“Ms. Shen, I checked the information about the M organization you asked about yesterday after I got back.”
The doctor adjusted his glasses. "It seems to be a private institution that mainly conducts drug research. It's not very large, but I've heard it has quite a powerful background. Mr. Zhu has a wide business empire, so he probably has some investments there as well."
"That's why people come to visit; they're researchers, after all, always so secretive."
Shen Shuangmiao frowned slightly.
This explanation sounds reasonable.
The drug research institution has Zhu Jin Investment, and they do indeed come to report on the progress of the invested projects on time.
So it seems like they all make sense.
Shen Shuangmiao's doubts lessened slightly, but she still felt that something was amiss.
If it were a normal business investment, it wouldn't be possible to keep it from her.
Besides, that person's attitude didn't seem like he was there to discuss business.
"I see, thank you, doctor."
Shen Shuangmiao thanked her calmly.
The doctor smiled, said nothing more, left some oral medication, and left.
After taking the medicine, Shen Shuangmiao felt that she had regained a lot of strength.
She wanted to get up and go downstairs for a walk. As she passed the kitchen, she saw Zhu Jin with his back to the door, washing something in front of the sink. His movements seemed a little stiff.
Shen Shuangmiao subconsciously tiptoed closer and then saw that he was changing the dressing on his injured hand.
The gauze was removed, revealing a wound that was even more gruesome than before, with redness and swelling all around, and even some pus oozing out.
It's clearly due to the severe inflammation caused by getting it wet for days.
Shen Shuangmiao gasped, her heart clenching.
"What happened to your hand?" she couldn't help but ask, and quickly walked over.
Upon hearing the sound, Zhu Jin turned around abruptly, quickly hiding his hands behind his back to cover it up. "It's nothing, a minor issue."
"This is considered a minor problem?!"
Shen Shuangmiao stepped forward and grabbed his arm without saying a word.
Caught off guard, she saw the shocking wound up close, and her brows furrowed tightly.
"It's already infected and suppurating, so ordinary medications definitely won't work!"
Zhu Jin looked at the undisguised worry on her face, and his eyes flickered slightly.
He paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Yes, I know. I need to go to the hospital tomorrow to have it done."
Zhu Jin raised his eyes and looked at her, his gaze probing: "Are you coming with me, or staying on the island?"
Without any hesitation, Shen Shuangmiao blurted out, "I'll go with you!"
After he finished speaking, both of them were stunned for a moment.
Zhu Jin stared at her blankly, a smile involuntarily curving his lips.
Was she worried about him?
But then he immediately dismissed the idea in his mind.
How could that be? She's probably been on the island for too long and it's too boring.
I wouldn't pass up any opportunity to get some fresh air.
He suppressed his unrealistic fantasies and nodded: "Okay, then we'll take a boat, it will be slower, but you've just recovered from your fever, so you might not feel comfortable taking a helicopter."
"Um."
Shen Shuang responded with a soft sound, then realized that her reaction had been too hasty, and turned her face away somewhat awkwardly.
She called Zhu Jin out, changed his dressing, and then cooked dinner herself.
The next day, they left plenty of food and water for the kitten and boarded their private yacht to go to a nearby hospital.
As the sea breeze caressed her face, Shen Shuangmiao watched the island recede into the distance, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Before we knew it, a week had passed.
I don't know what will happen next.
She only hoped to get through the month peacefully without any unexpected events.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor examined Zhu Jin.
His expression turned serious as soon as he lifted the gauze.
"No, the wound is quite infected and needs to be cleaned immediately to remove the necrotic tissue and pus. The process will be a little painful, so please bear with it."
Zhu Jin nodded, his expression unchanged.
He looked at Shen Shuangmiao.
"Cleaning the wound is too dirty, don't look, go outside."
Shen Shuangmiao shook her head: "No, I'm right here."
Zhu Jin was slightly taken aback. Seeing her resolute attitude, he pursed his lips and said nothing more.
"If you find it disgusting, then get out of here right now."
Shen Shuang nodded.
The doctor took his instruments and began treating the wound.
Zhu Jin was prepared, but he still couldn't quite handle it.
He groaned, then clenched his teeth, his forehead instantly covered in cold sweat.
Zhu Jin didn't utter a sound, his fists clenched so tightly they turned white, clearly showing he was in great pain.
Shen Shuangmiao stood aside, watching him bite his lip until it bled, enduring the pain, and couldn't bear to watch.
She picked up a cotton swab from the side, stepped forward, and carefully wiped away the blood from the corner of his lips.
Her movements were very light, carrying a gentleness that she herself was unaware of.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
"Ah Jin! I heard from the doctor that you were coming..."
Zhou Wu's anxious voice abruptly stopped.
She stood at the doorway, staring in disbelief at the scene before her.
Shen Shuangmiao bent down and wiped Zhu Jin's mouth.
The color drained from Zhou Wu's face instantly, and his gaze glared fiercely at Shen Shuangmiao.
What are you doing?
Shen Shuangmiao was startled and quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been burned.
She took a few steps back, distancing herself from Zhu Jin, a hint of helplessness flashing across her face, as if she were feeling guilty about something.
"I'll wait outside." She didn't look at Zhou Wu or Zhu Jin, and left directly.
She sat down on a bench at the far end of the corridor, her mind in turmoil.
Just now, she was actually worried about Zhu Jin?
But what can you do even if you're worried?
Zhu Jin's hands were in this state because of her.
As the person who caused his wound to become infected, it's not a big deal for me to just take care of him.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuangmiao instantly realized that she shouldn't deliberately avoid it, but should be open and generous.
In the hospital ward.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Zhou Wu walked to Zhu Jin's side and tried to remain calm: "Ah Jin, how are you? Is it serious?"
Zhu Jin coldly asked, "How did you find your way here?"
