Chapter 41: Recuperation
Qiao Shuyun and Zhou Su went back, leaving only Zhang Shiye and Xia Wanyang in the room.
Zhang Shiye quietly looked at the person sleeping peacefully on the bed. He tucked the loose hair on her forehead behind her ears, revealing her full forehead, and gently kissed her lips.
Tonight, when Xia Wanyang pushed him aside without hesitation and used her slender arm to block the knife, Zhang Shiye's heart was like a shower of sweet dew that filled the long-dry earth. Every cell in his body was clamoring Xia Wanyang's name.
He loved her, and it seemed like he had loved her for more than just half a month. The feeling was like he had found a treasure from his previous life again. He felt that his whole life was complete.
Three hours later, Qiao Shuyun, Zhang Heping and Zhang Shijing arrived at the hospital, along with Chief Fan and several young police officers.
Seeing the police coming in, Zhang Shiye just looked up, then his eyes fell on Xia Wanyang's face again. Aunt Qiao put down her things and handed him the lunch box, "Son, eat something. Wanyang needs a blood transfusion later. The hospital said that family members must donate blood before transfusion. You can't bear it if you don't eat!"
Zhang Shiye didn't say anything, but just stared at Xia Wanyang without blinking.
Fan Guangrong came over and was stunned for a moment when he saw the person lying on the bed, "Xia Wanyang?"
Everyone looked up at him, and Director Fan explained, "Her father and I were once comrades-in-arms."
Zhang Shiye asked, "Have Li Ling and Li Yu been arrested?"
Zhang Heping nodded and said, "I called the police after you left, and the person was arrested immediately."
Zhang Shijing lowered his head in guilt, "Fourth brother, I'm sorry, I didn't expect that vicious woman Li Ling would do this for her sister. I must divorce her, and I will also be responsible for the harm done to your partner. You take good care of her, I will go to donate blood right away."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Fan Guangrong walked to the bedside and said, "I was going to ask about the injured and the victim as usual. It seems that Xiaoxia will not recover for a while. I will come back in two days. Don't worry, Li Yu is suspected of intentional homicide and will definitely get what he deserves. As for Li Ling, she only helped her trick you into the Li family. We can only detain her for a few days to educate her."
Zhang Shiye stood up and said, "Thank you for your help. I will tell Wan Yang when she wakes up!"
After Fan Guangrong and the police officers left, Qiao Shuyun opened the lunch box and said, "Eat something. Mom knows you care about her, but if you become ill, who will take care of her?"
Zhang Heping handed him the iron box. "Your parents haven't opened your things yet. Take good care of her. Your mother will be here with you during this period. She is still a little girl after all. It will be inconvenient for you to be alone. Don't refuse."
Zhang Shiye asked Aunt Qiao to look after Xia Wanyang. He went alone to pay the fees and completed the hospitalization procedures. He also paid for four beds in the ward. He didn't want anyone to disturb Xia Wanyang's recovery.
After returning to the room, Zhang Shijing held his arm with a pale face. When he saw Zhang Shiye walk in, he didn't know whether to sit or stand.
"Third brother, you don't have to feel sorry. Li Ling is Li Ling, and you are you. What she did has nothing to do with you. I won't bear a grudge against you! As for whether to divorce or not, it's up to you. Don't do anything you'll regret for me. After all, you still have two children."
Zhang Shijing immediately said firmly: "This marriage must be divorced. If we keep a vicious woman like her at home, the child will be led astray in the future. I am not only doing this for you, but also for myself and the child. The marriage is decided. When she is released, I will drag her to complete the formalities!"
Aunt Qiao and Zhang Heping were very relieved. In fact, she was afraid that the two brothers would become estranged because of this incident.
After Zhang Shiye finished his meal, Zhang Shijing and Zhang Heping went back home overnight, and Aunt Qiao was lying on the bed with her head half closed.
Xia Wanyang had already received a blood transfusion, and Zhang Shiye was guarding her motionlessly. At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Xia Wanyang opened her sparkling fox eyes, and as soon as she moved, Zhang Shiye came over.
"Yangyang, how do you feel? Are you in pain? Are you hungry? Do you want to drink some water?"
Xia Wanyang wanted to sit up, but accidentally touched her arm. She immediately burst into tears due to the pain. "Hiss..." She frowned and couldn't help but let out a painful sound from her throat.
Zhang Shiye's body froze, and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. The way he wanted to touch her but didn't dare to do so amused Xia Wanyang, "Don't worry, I'm fine, it just hurts a little."
He lowered his eyes, staring at her with his scarlet eyes, "Why did you push me away? Did you know it was very dangerous at that time?"
Xia Wanyang said in her heart, because you gave so much for me in the last life, it is my turn to protect you in this life!
She smiled slightly, "Because I like you, I like you very much, and I don't want to see you get hurt. If I don't push you away, that knife will cut your head open!"
Zhang Shiye grabbed her hand and rubbed her palm with his cheek, "Silly girl, don't I like you? Can I just watch you get hurt in front of me?"
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. I'm so thirsty and want to drink some water."
Zhang Shiye quickly brought over the cooled white wine, gently lifted her head with one hand, and brought the cup to her mouth. After taking a few sips of water, Xia Wanyang's throat, which was about to smoke, finally felt relieved.
Neither of them spoke for a while, they just looked at each other quietly.
In the next few days, Xia Wanyang experienced the life of confinement in advance. No, she could even get out of bed during confinement. Even when she went to the toilet, Zhang Shiye carried her to the toilet, and Qiao Shuyun stayed by her side. Zhang Shiye had become quite familiar with the chefs in the hospital kitchen these days, and he would always show up on time at mealtime.
Of course, Zhang Shiye was afraid that she would be bored, so he tried different ways to make her happy. Even Aunt Qiao told her gossip about the families in the team.
Xia Wanyang's wound began to heal slowly, and today was the day to remove the stitches.
The old doctor who stitched her up came in and said with a smile, "Young man, you can't be like that day today, can you?"
Xia Wanyang looked up at him, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Shiye touched his nose and said, "Nothing, the doctor was just joking!"
When she opened the gauze wrapped around her arm, an ugly scar was revealed. Zhang Shiye looked at her with red eyes and fear. The little girl loved beauty and would change clothes when she sweated a little. Now her arm, as white and delicate as a lotus root, had such a scar. She didn't know how sad she must be.
Seeing his self-blaming expression, Xia Wanyang pulled his hand and said, "Okay, my family has a scar removal medicine passed down from our ancestors. When I was a kid, I bumped my head while playing. Can you see the scar on my forehead now?"
"real?"
There is no scar removal medicine, there is only a small stream of water in space.
Xia Wanyang nodded, and Zhang Shiye felt a little better.
The stitch removal process went very smoothly. The doctor operated very carefully, and each stitch was removed accurately. When the last stitch was cut, tender new flesh was exposed at the wound, which meant that the wound was healing and recovering well.
The doctor nodded with satisfaction, packed up his tools and said, "Well, your wound has healed well, and you can be discharged. But you must pay attention to your diet after you go home. Eat more nutritious food to help the wound heal. In addition, before the wound is completely healed, try to avoid strenuous activities to avoid affecting the wound's recovery."
Zhang Shiye found some paper and pen from somewhere and was carefully writing down the doctor's words.
Xia Wanyang: “…”
