"The injury is not serious. I'll prescribe some ointment. You can go back and apply it on her regularly. She will be healed in about half a month!" explained the old Chinese doctor.
“Okay, thank you!”
The old Chinese doctor left after prescribing the medicine. After sending him away, Cheng Jiahe came up again, glanced at Qin Shuang on the bed, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is it? Is your wife okay?"
Lu Sheng covered Qin Shuang with the quilt and said, "It's okay!"
After a few seconds of silence, he looked at Lu Sheng's worried face, leaned against the bed and chuckled, "Look how worried you are. If you can't find your wife, you'll probably go crazy, right?"
Lu Sheng frowned, and after a while, his voice came out slowly, "I just... I just don't want Shuangshuang to get hurt!"
Since Qin Shuang came here, she couldn't eat or sleep well, had a miscarriage, and encountered so many things. He said he would be good to her, but she actually suffered so much hurt. Everything... was his fault. It was him who failed to protect her.
Cheng Jiahe's throat choked up, staring at him, not knowing how to start. After a while, he regained his nonchalant look and said with a leisurely smile, "Look at you, you are so serious even when you are joking. Forget it, I won't disturb your sweet love. I'll go out and make medicine for you."
After saying this, he walked out of the room carrying the medicine bag and carefully closed the door for both of them.
Staring at the fragile little face on the bed, he felt as if a cold rock was blocking his heart, making him feel blocked and uncomfortable.
With trembling hands, he slowly stroked her cold little face, stroking the still red and swollen wound, and said softly, "Shuangshuang, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I hurt you, you... do you still blame me?"
His tears slid down and dripped onto her scarred little face. She frowned slightly, and her thick long eyelashes trembled.
★★★
After sleeping for a day and a night, Qin Shuang slowly woke up early in the morning of the first day until the sunlight shone on the head of the bed.
Maybe it was because she was too tired or her body was too weak, she just felt that she had slept for a very long time.
She didn't have any dreams and felt that this was the most peaceful sleep she had ever had since she came here.
She slowly sat up from the bed and saw the clothes she had already changed.
She took a look at the surroundings and was about to get out of bed when Lu Sheng came in with medicine. "Shuangshuang, are you awake? How are you? Do you still feel any pain?"
Seeing that she was awake, he asked as he placed the medicine in his hand on the bedside and quickly went forward to support her.
Qin Shuang shook her head. After she sat firmly on the bed, she looked around and asked, "Where is this?"
She remembered that when she was finally caught by Liu Hai, he suddenly appeared, but she didn't remember anything that happened afterwards.
"This is the inn of Yuejia Village. Last night, you were injured all over, so Jiahe and I brought you here together!"
As he spoke, he patiently helped him put on his clothes, and then handed the medicine in his hand to her, "Drink it, Jiahe made it especially for you!"
Qin Shuang looked at the black medicine in the porcelain bowl and couldn't help but frowning. Since coming here, she couldn't remember how much medicine she had drunk. Her previous pampering had long been thrown into the Bazhua Kingdom.
"Don't worry, the doctor said you were too weak, so he prescribed this medicine especially for you. I added sugar, so it won't be bitter!"
Seeing Qin Shuang's hesitation, Lu Sheng patiently persuaded her and even helped her stir the medicine in her hand so that it would cool down faster.
Qin Shuang suppressed the bitterness in his heart, picked up the medicine bowl, and with the help of Lu Sheng, he frowned and slowly drank the whole bowl.
"How did you find me yesterday?"
Qin Shuang asked while he was cleaning up the medicine bowls.
Lu Sheng put the bowl away, took out a clean handkerchief and wiped the medicine stains around her mouth before he slowly explained, "Yesterday you went to the bathroom and didn't come back for a long time, so I went in to look for you, but there was no one in the bathroom. I looked outside and saw your clothes on the ground. I had a bad feeling that something had happened to you, so Jiahe and I borrowed a motorcycle to look for you. Later, I found the shoes you left behind halfway, and then I found you by following the direction of the car tracks!"
He finished explaining in one breath, Qin Shuang's face darkened, and he nodded lightly, "Oh!"
She left her shoes behind on purpose for him to come and save her. Unexpectedly, he really came in time. If he had come a little later, she might have really been...
The air was filled with silence as the two men faced each other, both feeling a little nervous.
