Ye Linyan was only stunned for a moment before quickly walking over. Only then did he realize that the bloodstains on Xu Nuo's back were from shards of broken glass from the lamp that had pierced through her!
Slowly lifting his shirt, Ye Linyan carefully examined the injuries on his back. The wounds weren't large, but there were about a dozen shards of glass embedded in his skin, each almost completely embedded in his flesh!
Ye Linyan reached out to help him, but the moment she touched him, she realized that he was burning up!
Has the fever returned?
"Mr. Ye, don't touch him! Call a doctor! We can't remove this glass, and it could get infected if we don't handle it properly!"
Wang Mingwu looked at the wound on Xu Nuo's back and reminded him.
"Go find a trustworthy doctor! One with excellent medical skills!"
"knew!"
After Wang Mingwu left, Ye Linyan struggled to carry Xu Nuo back to bed. Her back was still bleeding, probably because the movement had aggravated her wound. Xu Nuo groaned in pain a few times.
"Arno, how are you feeling?"
Ye Linyan didn't dare touch his injured back, but touched his forehead and called to him softly.
Xu Nuo frowned slightly, his face flushed from the fever, and he didn't respond no matter how Ye Linyan called him.
Ye Linyan was a little anxious and checked him again to see if there were any other wounds. Fortunately, it was just a cut on his back from the glass shards, and there were no other injuries.
However, the glass shards were of different sizes, and Ye Linyan was unsure if any long shards had penetrated the back. Judging from the depth to which the shards had not penetrated the back, Xu Nuo must have landed on his back to be so deeply embedded!
If a long shard of glass were to get stuck, could it damage internal organs?
Ye Linyan looked at his back, which was covered in bloodstains, but dared not pull it out rashly! He then squatted down to look at the other shards of glass!
These glass shards were all flat, and there weren't many large pieces scattered on the ground. Ye Linyan imagined in his mind that there shouldn't be any large shards, and even if there were, the chances of them standing upright on the ground were slim!
She went back to the bedside and touched Xu Nuo's forehead; it was still very hot!
Unable to wake him, Ye Linyan could only go to the washroom to get a basin of warm water and wipe his body to cool him down physically. She also wiped away the bloodstains on his back where there were no wounds.
After wiping him down, Ye Linyan felt that Xu Nuo's body was still very hot. She dissolved the fever reducer in warm water again and wanted to give it to him, but Xu Nuo was lying face down on the bed. Ye Linyan didn't dare to turn him over, so she could only feed him the medicine while calling his name.
"Arnold! Arnold! Wake up! Arnold!"
Ye Linyan called his name and gently patted his shoulder, which actually had some effect. Xu Nuo didn't open his eyes, but he mumbled a response in his sleep!
"Arno! Wake up! Take your medicine, you have a high fever! Arno!"
When Ye Linyan saw Xu Nuo respond, most of the gloom in his heart dissipated, and he patted Xu Nuo's face again.
"Ugh...it hurts! My back hurts..."
Xu Nuo spoke very softly, and Ye Linyan leaned closer and listened carefully several times before she could hear him clearly!
"Take your medicine, Arno! Taking the medicine will make the pain go away!"
Ye Linyan coaxed softly.
Xu Nuo struggled to lift her eyelids, barely managing to open them halfway. Upon seeing Ye Linyan, tears immediately streamed down her face.
"Brother... I've been calling you for so long, why aren't you answering me... you're just ignoring me..."
Xu Nuo spoke in a sobbing voice, her voice hoarse.
"I fell to the ground and can't get up... My back hurts..."
Only when Ye Linyan heard Xu Nuo's hoarse voice did he understand what Xu Nuo meant.
The room was specially soundproofed. Although he and Xu Nuo were only separated by a wall, he didn't hear Xu Nuo calling him at all!
Ye Linyan felt a pang of guilt and softened his voice, saying:
"Take your medicine first. I've called the doctor. The pain will go away in a bit!"
Xu Nuo's tears were still streaming down her face, her eyes red and filled with grievance. She turned her head to the side, her hoarse voice brimming with a sense of injustice:
"I won't eat it, so burn me alive... You don't even care about me anymore..."
Ye Linyan was both angry and helpless upon hearing Xu Nuo's words, but seeing his expression, she finally gave in and continued to coax him:
"If you don't take your medicine, you'll burn yourself silly, and you won't even be able to count money!"
Xu Nuo listened to Ye Linyan's words with her eyes closed, tears still on her face. She forced a smile and then turned her head away.
"Then you have to pay me more! If you don't pay more, I won't eat!"
Ye Linyan paused, holding the medicine. He really wanted to splash the medicine directly on Xu Nuo's face, but seeing his still bleeding back, he held back!
What makes Ye Linyan feel most powerless is Xu Nuo's tears, whether they were the tears of that year or the tears she sheds now as she lies on the bed.
Looking at the tear-streaked face, Ye Linyan suddenly realized that as long as Xu Nuo wanted it, she could lower her bottom line again and again for him!
"Add! Take your medicine!"
Once Ye Linyan understood this, she stopped worrying and agreed with a slight frown.
"Two hundred million! Not a penny less! You always keep your word, you'd be a dog if you lied to me!"
Xu Nuo's throat hurt terribly with every word he spoke, but now that he was awake and his mind was relatively clear, he had to take advantage of this moment to get the money sorted out!
Only at this time is Ye Linyan most easily deceived!
"Okay, open your mouth and take your medicine!"
Ye Linyan brought the medicine to Xu Nuo's lips again.
Just as she was about to speak, Xu Nuo seemed to remember something. She looked at Ye Linyan with half-closed eyes, suppressing the pain in her throat, and whispered:
"This is the money I received for selling myself; you can't renege on it!"
Do you want some?
Ye Linyan was somewhat displeased with Xu Nuo's overreaching attitude, and with that, she withdrew her hand holding the medicine slightly.
Seeing this, Xu Nuo tried to reach out to stop him, but as soon as she moved, her back ached terribly, and she cried out in pain, groaning uncontrollably!
"Don't move!"
Ye Linyan frowned and pressed down on Xu Nuo's hand.
"I'll eat..."
Xu Nuo mumbled something.
Ye Linyan, with a cold face, fed the fever-reducing medicine into his mouth!
————————————————————————
After feeding him the medicine, Ye Linyan sat on the edge of the bed, silent! He was still angry about what Xu Nuo had just said!
He was already burning up with fever, bleeding from his back, completely disregarding his own health, only thinking about money! What Ye Linyan didn't realize was that he was resenting Xu Nuo for not caring about his health, not for asking him for money!
Even with a fever, Xu Nuo could feel the chill emanating from Ye Linyan. She gently raised her hand and tugged at Ye Linyan's clothes.
"Brother~"
"elder brother....."
.................
Ye Linyan called out several times, but remained unmoved. Xu Nuo's back was still aching and his body was also very sore, so he had no choice but to give up. If it were any other time, he might have said or done something to amuse him, but he really didn't have the strength right now!
The two remained silent for a while before Wang Mingwu arrived with the doctor!
Ye Linyan pulled the blanket up to Xu Nuo's waist. He was only wearing underwear on his lower body, and he didn't want anyone to see it!
The doctor examined Xu Nuo's back and took his temperature. The conclusion was that only by removing the glass shards from his back could they determine the depth of the wound and whether stitches were necessary.
"He took fever reducer and his fever had gone down, so why did it come back?"
Ye Linyan originally thought that once the fever subsided after the cleaning, everything would be fine, but now that Xu Nuo had a persistent high fever, he was starting to have doubts again!
"Did he have a high fever before he was injured?"
The doctor glanced at Xu Nuo on the bed with some confusion, then remembered that this was the CEO's office lounge, and immediately understood what was going on. He replied:
"Taking fever-reducing medicine doesn't mean he's completely recovered. He might not have fully recovered yet, and he injured his back again. Because he didn't receive immediate treatment, the wound caused a second high fever!"
