Madam Xiao nodded hurriedly: "Wait a minute, I'll go pour it."
Mrs. Xiao hurriedly poured a glass of water from the table in the room.
Xiao Yunchen supported himself on the bed with his hands and sat up.
"Hiss—" The stinging pain from the palms of his hands made him gasp. He looked down and found that his hands were tied with white gauze.
The off-white gauze was seeping with blood due to his previous actions.
Lord Xiao quickly warned, "Be careful. When you came back, you were holding the porcelain shard in both hands. It took a lot of effort to remove it from your palm."
Madam Xiao fed Xiao Yunchen water while crying out of heartache: "The doctor said that your wound is so deep that it almost touches the bone. If it's any later, your hands will be useless."

Hearing this, Xiao Yunchen looked at Madam Xiao and said, "Why don't you and father go back first?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao stood up from the bed, wiped her tears carefully, and straightened her clothes: "Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to bring you some food."
