Nurse Lin slowly applied the medicine to Ye Lichuan's wound, her movements were very gentle, and it really didn't hurt much.
"Mr. Ye, please turn over so I can apply the ointment to the other side for you." Nurse Lin said as she gently helped Ye Lichuan turn over with her skillful hands.
Gu Anran reached out to help, but before she could get close, she was pushed aside by Nurse Lin.
When he tried to go back, Nurse Lin had already helped Ye Lichuan turn over.
Gu Anran pursed her lips, but didn't say anything in the end. She quietly retreated and watched Nurse Lin's actions.
"Mr. Ye, does it hurt?" Nurse Lin asked gently as she applied the medicine.
Ye Lichuan gently shook his head so that Gu Anran wouldn't worry.
Who knew that Nurse Lin would take Ye Lichuan's response as encouragement? She insisted on getting incredibly close to wounds that could have been treated at a normal distance.
Not only that, while applying the medicine, she also gently blew on it and even muttered things like, "If I'm gentle, Mr. Ye won't feel any pain."
What nurse would be so resistant when applying medication to a patient?!
Watching Nurse Lin repeatedly get close to Ye Lichuan, Gu Anran found the scene rather cringe-worthy. When Nurse Lin's slender fingers approached Ye Lichuan's skin, Gu Anran felt as if she were touching her heart, a prickly and uncomfortable sensation.
"Um, Nurse Lin, you don't need to get so close to the wound to apply the ointment," Gu Anran kindly reminded her.
To everyone's surprise, Nurse Lin didn't appreciate it at all. Instead, she turned around and glared at her, saying, "That won't do. When we take care of patients, we must be careful. For an important person like Mr. Ye, even a small wound must be treated with caution."
After saying that, he turned his head and leaned even closer.
Gu Anran, having been bored for a while, immediately decided not to say anything more.
But looking at Nurse Lin's behavior, I felt inexplicably choked up.
Even though she kept telling herself that it was just applying medicine, she still couldn't accept it when she saw Nurse Lin's hand almost touching Ye Lichuan several times.
Even Gu Xiaotian could tell that something was wrong.
He had watched from the side many times and, like Gu Anran, was certain that most wounds could be treated properly without getting so close.
Moreover, as if she wanted to enjoy this moment a little longer, she deliberately applied the medicine very, very slowly.
Gu Xiaotian pursed his lips: "Auntie, why are you taking so long to apply the medicine?"
"I'm afraid it will hurt Mr. Ye if we go too fast," Nurse Lin said without looking up.
"But you're too slow, and you keep shuffling around, what are you trying to do?" Gu Xiaotian said bluntly.
After his reminder, Ye Lichuan also realized something was wrong. He turned to look at Nurse Lin, frowned, and seemed displeased: "Since your technique is not yet proficient, then you should leave first and let someone else apply the medicine."
"I..." Nurse Lin was already embarrassed enough by Gu Xiaotian's exposure, and now she was scolded by Ye Lichuan, making her even more embarrassed.
“Let’s go.” Ye Lichuan’s word was law.
Nurse Lin left after being reprimanded by Ye Lichuan, and Gu Anran took over applying the remaining medicine to him.
Even though Nurse Lin had left, Gu Anran still felt uncomfortable thinking about what had just happened.
"What am I thinking? It's just a nurse doing her job. Why am I being so paranoid? It must be my imagination," she reassured herself.
A woman's intuition can sometimes be incredibly accurate. Gu Anran's dislike for Nurse Lin wasn't due to her own paranoia, but rather because Nurse Lin genuinely harbored strong hostility towards her.
After being kicked out of the ward, Nurse Lin went to the nurses' station. At this time, the nurses' station was not very busy, so Nurse Lin had time to chat with the head nurse for a bit.
"Didn't you go to apply medicine to the patient? You're back?"
"He's back." Nurse Lin said, taking a sip of water. "Mr. Ye looks very respectable, but I didn't expect his family... to be so troublesome."
Seeing that the head nurse didn't speak, Nurse Lin continued, "I was just applying some medicine to Mr. Ye, and his wife acted as if I had done something shameful, constantly talking to me and being wary of me. And his son, at such a young age, is so sharp-tongued; he managed to make Mr. Ye stop me from applying the medicine after just a few words."
The head nurse had spent more time in the hospital and had seen more of the world, so when she listened to Nurse Lin speak, she seemed quite unfazed.
"Looking at Mr. Ye, I never imagined his wife would be that kind of person," Nurse Lin said, shaking her head.
The head nurse then chimed in, "Who knows? But even if Mrs. Ye is really as bad as you say, Mr. Ye still likes her so much, that must be true love."
"What do you mean?" Nurse Lin's ears perked up as soon as she heard about Ye Lichuan.
The head nurse spoke casually, as if it were just everyday gossip: "Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye encountered danger when they went out. Mr. Ye was seriously injured while protecting his wife."
"You were injured and hospitalized because of her?" Nurse Lin asked in surprise.
She felt an even greater contempt for Gu Anran.
They were just picking on her and criticizing her, but it turns out that Ye Lichuan ended up in the hospital because of Gu Anran!
"I think she's not very capable, but she has a big temper, and she even caused Mr. Ye to get injured... She's really something else, I don't know how she became Mrs. Ye." Nurse Lin chuckled a few times, picked up her water glass and left.
She already disliked Gu Anran, and now she looked down on her even more. Coincidentally, there wasn't much to do at the moment, so Nurse Lin pretended to be busy, but in reality, she just wandered around the corridor, saying bad things about Gu Anran to every nurse she saw.
"Really? I never thought someone like that could become Mrs. Ye."
"She's done such a terrible thing to Mr. Ye, I bet it won't be long before he abandons her..."
More and more nurses were brainwashed by Nurse Lin's words, and they all expressed their feelings as if Gu Anran had done something outrageous.
This scene filled Nurse Lin with an indescribable sense of joy.
At that moment, Gu Anran, who was sitting in the ward, suddenly sneezed.
"What's wrong, Anran? Are you feeling unwell?"
Hearing the noise, Ye Lichuan quickly turned around, his face full of worry.
A warm feeling welled up in Gu Anran's heart, and she shook her head: "It's probably because the air isn't circulating well. I'll go open the window to let some fresh air in, and it'll be fine in a bit."
