No wonder her voice and eyes seemed familiar; it was him...
She bit her lip and picked up the scissors that were placed beside the bed.
This man was the original owner's nightmare, and the culprit behind all the gossip she had endured over the years.
Perhaps he was a lecherous man who not only forced himself on her, but also on other women.
If she kills him now, wouldn't that be considered doing a service to the people?
"Big sister..."
Zhi Ruo's voice came, waking her from her fantasy and quickly restoring her rationality.
"Big sister, have some water."
She took the water glass from Zhiruo, gulped down the whole glass of water, and then instructed Zhiruo:
"Prepare for surgery."
She hates that man, but that doesn't mean she hates the patient now.
Even if she wanted to take revenge on him, now wouldn't be the time.
Moreover, she simply didn't have the guts to kill anyone.
She silently comforted herself: as a qualified doctor, and revered as a miracle healer, she had to adhere to her professional ethics. Even if the person in front of her was a heinous murderer, she would do her best to save him and then let him go to trial.
With that in mind, she quickly got into the zone and began the surgery to remove the knife from his body.
Li Ping and Hu Ke, who were waiting outside the pharmacy, were as restless as ants on a hot pan.
If the Emperor finds out that the young master was stabbed, then the two of them will be guilty of failing to protect their master, and the Emperor will hold them accountable.
Most importantly, they felt sorry for their master and regretted their carelessness.
Li Ping squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, constantly blaming himself.
"How could this happen? Who on earth wants to harm the young master?"
Hu Ke sat on the steps of the pharmacy, raised his hand, and smacked his head several times. Then, he gritted his teeth and said:
"There are quite a few people who hope the Crown Prince will never return..."
"It's all our fault for being careless. Who would have thought that the assassin would follow us to Phoenix City? If the Emperor finds out, he'll definitely kill us."
"We cannot tell the Emperor about this yet. We should wait until Physician Luo has healed the young master's injuries and he has woken up before asking for his opinion."
"But what if we delay treatment and worsen the injury? We can't afford to take that kind of blame."
"No, Doctor Luo is a renowned healer. She will cure the young master. She will definitely cure him. She will definitely cure him."
"Yes, he will definitely be cured... Young Master will be alright."
Li Ping and Hu Ke began to comfort themselves and pray silently.
About an hour later, Zhiwan removed the sword from Leng Chuchen's body, cleaned his wounds, and cut off all the flesh from the poisoned parts.
Although doing so will slow down the healing of his wounds, it will save his life.
After she finished bandaging his wounds, Zhiruo called Liping and Hu Ke in.
Once inside, they eagerly pressed for answers.
"Dr. Luo, how is my young master?"
"Look, the knife has been removed, and the poisoned flesh has been cut off. Luckily, you brought him here in time, so the poison hasn't spread yet. But a lot of flesh was cut off, and he lost a lot of blood, so he needs to be well cared for. After you take him home, keep a close eye on him. It would be best if he doesn't develop a fever within three days. If he does, come here to get medicine, and come back in three days to change the dressing. Also, take some anti-inflammatory medicine home for him to take later..."
Hearing that the poison in his body had been neutralized and his life was saved, Li Ping and Hu Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief, and relaxed smiles appeared on their faces.
However, they soon encountered a problem.
Hu Ke glanced at Li Ping, then looked at Luo Zhiwan and stammered:
"Dr. Luo, it's like this. As you know, we come from the capital, which is a long way from Phoenix City. It's impossible for my young master to go back to recuperate. And the inn we're staying at here isn't convenient..."
"So what do you mean?"
Zhiruo seemed to sense the hidden meaning in Hu Ke's words, and immediately put her hands on her hips, directly refusing.
“This is a clinic, not an inn. My older sister can only treat his injuries, not let him stay here.”
Even Li Ping, who usually had a menacing look on Zhi Ruo, softened his tone at this moment.
“We know this is a clinic, but you’ve seen my young master’s condition. What if he’s in danger if we take him back to the inn? How about this, we can pay whatever it takes, as long as my young master can stay here for a few days. Anyway, there are no patients in this room right now, so let us stay here for now!”
Hu Ke nodded in agreement.
"Yes, even if we stay for three days, let my young master recover some of his strength before we leave!"
Zhiwan frowned as she thought of the red mole on his chest, and shook her head in refusal.
"No, he was injured by an assassin, which proves that someone wants to kill him. If we leave him here, we will all be in danger. You should think of another way!"
She absolutely could not leave this man here. Since she couldn't kill him with her own hands, she had to get away from him.
She absolutely cannot let Yiming see him again; she will not allow Yiming to acknowledge this rapist as his father.
"Miss Luo, please, please let our young master stay here for a couple of days!"
As they said this, the two of them actually knelt down on the ground.
This scene surprised Luo Zhiwan, and Zhiruo was also taken aback.
“Miss Luo, I know we’ve put you in a difficult position. How about this: you let my young master stay here first, and we’ll look around for a vacant house before taking him away…”
