My throat was dry and sore, it was really difficult to make any sound.
I raised my hand and pointed at his face and hands, then looked at the doctor.
Fortunately, the doctor understood what I meant immediately. Looking at the frostbite on Lu Zhiyuan's hand, he relayed, "She's worried about your frostbite. Come with me and take care of it."
Lu Zhiyuan stared at me, indifferent, as if he was worried about me.
The doctor advised, "Don't worry, she's not in danger. You should take care of yourself first, so she doesn't have to worry about you."
Lu Zhiyuan was still hesitating.
I frowned and waved at him, signaling him to go and deal with it quickly.
Seeing my urging, Lu Zhiyuan reluctantly stood up and said, "Just wait for me in the ward. I'll be back soon after I treat your wound."
Only after watching Lu Zhiyuan leave the ward did I relax without any worries. The exhaustion made me close my eyes drowsily, and I couldn't hold on any longer, so I fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know how long I slept. When I woke up, the environment in front of me made me feel dazed.
I turned my head and looked around, only to see Lu Zhiyuan sitting on a chair, taking a nap beside my bed. His hands were tightly tucked into the corner of the quilt, for fear that I would catch a cold.
After a good night's sleep and an IV drip, I felt my mind was clearer, my fatigue was reduced, and I felt much more energetic.
I tried to prop myself up and sit up, but my throat started to itch. I tried to hold it back, but my face turned red and I ended up coughing.
This cough woke up Lu Zhiyuan who was beside him.
He sat up suddenly, his pupils still a little dilated, but he asked anxiously: "Are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
I couldn't answer him because I kept coughing.
He immediately stood up and patted my back gently, waiting until I stopped coughing.
He turned around, poured me a glass of water, and handed it to me. Only then did I notice that his hands were wrapped in gauze.
My heart skipped a beat. I knew without hesitation that his frostbite must be serious.
I raised my hand to take the cup from him, but he blocked my move and brought the cup directly to my lips.
I had no choice but to drink the water from his hand.
"Thank you." I said these two words in a hoarse voice, but saw Lu Zhiyuan's eyes dimmed for a moment.
We looked into each other's eyes, and in his calm eyes there was an unconcealable deep affection.
he……
I panicked for a moment, thinking I was wrong, and subconsciously avoided his gaze and turned to look out the window.
It was already dawn outside, and it was the next morning.
Morning? !
I was startled and subconsciously looked for my cell phone, but suddenly remembered that my cell phone had been searched by Sister S's people.
I didn't go home the whole night last night and didn't let Mingsi know I was safe. She must have been so worried!
"What are you looking for?" Lu Zhiyuan saw my panic and asked softly.
I said to him anxiously, "Can you lend me your phone?"
"Want to call home to let them know you're safe?" He immediately guessed my purpose.
"After I treated your wound yesterday, I called the Ming family for you. Your uncle answered the phone, and I told him the address of the hospital."
Mingyuan heard that I was in trouble and must have told Mingsi.
I didn't want to make Mingsi anxious, but now I can't help but make her worry.
Lu Zhiyuan comforted me, "I told him you're fine now, and told them not to worry. This is a hospital outside Beijing, a bit far, but I think they should be on their way."
