Considering their current situation, Xu Rao said worriedly, "Can't you just use anti-inflammatory medicine? My wound hasn't come into contact with water, and I've been using the medicine you gave me."
Chen Zhaoci sighed and said, "In this weather, you're wearing pants and a robe on top. You may not have seen any water, but you're sweating a lot. The most urgent thing is to have the surgery done as soon as possible."
