After paying for the medicine in the front hall, Qiao Zhen returned to take care of Yuan Zhao. Looking at the tear stains at the corners of his eyes, she murmured softly, "Does it hurt that much?" She raised her hand to wipe away the tear stains.
"You're in pain physically, but I'm suffering emotionally," Qiao Zhen couldn't help but complain, then went out to fetch a basin of water and came back to wipe Yuan Zhao's face.
