"I'm fine now, you don't need to worry too much. I can sit up by myself now..." Bai Xiaoruo was just about to sit up to prove to Lin Suqing and Xian Zhengsen when the two elders were so frightened that they quickly helped her lie back down on the bed.
"Don't move, don't move. This is not something to be taken lightly. You might hurt yourself again."
Bai Xiaoruo had no choice but to lie down obediently.
Actually, she was almost bored to death lying here for so many days. Even when Xuan Mingyu was with her, he wouldn't let her touch this or that.
"That brat, how did he take care of you? You got so badly injured, and he only told us now." No wonder Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu haven't left for their honeymoon yet; it turns out Bai Xiaoruo was injured and hospitalized.
Xian Zhengsen scolded her, saying that if he had known Bai Xiaoruo was injured earlier, he would have come to see her much earlier.
"Grandpa, it's really not his fault. It's because I'm physically weak that I've been staying here for so long. Those are just minor injuries, nothing serious. I'm sorry to have worried you, and thank you for coming all this way."
"Silly girl, we're family. There's no such thing as hardship. It's only natural for you to come and see my granddaughter-in-law." Lin Suqing took Bai Xiaoruo's hand and stroked it gently. "Xiaoruo, I'm sorry you've suffered. Take good care of yourself and don't worry about anything. Your grandfather and I will definitely stand up for you."
"Well...actually, I don't really care about this anymore. Let bygones be bygones. It's just that I never want to go back to that home again. It doesn't belong to me anymore."
"No, that place belongs to you. Don't worry, one day I will take back everything that belongs to your Feng family for you and your grandfather!"
Hsien Cheng-sen spoke with absolute certainty.
He had underestimated Bai Minglei; he never imagined that Bai would even use his own daughter as a sacrifice for personal gain.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaoruo is kind-hearted and will not collude with Bai Minglei. He will definitely investigate the matter of Bai Xiaoruo's injury thoroughly.
The Bai family needs a good dressing down!
***
It was 7 p.m. when Xuan Mingyu came to see Bai Xiaoruo.
He spent the entire afternoon being entangled with Su Yuluo, who was crying and making a fuss, insisting that he stay with her. She also said that she hadn't been sleeping well these past few days, often having nightmares, and that she had indeed become quite haggard. Xuan Mingyu had no choice but to stay with her a little longer so that she could get some rest.
When Xian Mingyu arrived, the nurse was wiping Bai Xiaoruo's body with a hot towel.
Her wounds haven't fully healed yet, so she can't get them wet. Therefore, she has to wipe her body with a hot towel every day, and her hospital gowns and personal clothing are washed and changed daily.
As soon as he opened the door to the ward, he saw Bai Xiaoru sitting on the hospital bed with her back to the door. She had taken off her hospital gown, and there were conspicuous scars imprinted on her fair back, which was quite frightening. The gauze that had been used to bandage the wounds had been torn off, and after wiping her body, the medicine was applied again and the wounds were re-bandaged.
A nurse was carefully wiping her back with a hot towel.
Hearing the door open, Bai Xiaoruo was so startled that she quickly took off the hospital gown that was placed aside and put it on.
Normally, she would ask the nurse to lock the door before wiping her body, but today, for some reason, the nurse didn't lock the door. Wouldn't she be seen naked by someone who came in?
“Mr. Xian.” The nurse stood respectfully to the side.
string......
Is it Hsien Ming-yu who's here?
Bai Xiaoruo breathed a small sigh of relief. She was really scared just now, thinking that some random stranger had come in.
If it were him, she wouldn't be so resistant.
He hasn't come over all day, and she thought he wouldn't come over tonight either.
"Mr. Xian, Miss Bai has just finished wiping her body, so we need to reapply medicine and bandage her wounds," the nurse replied.
"I can handle this, you can go now."
"You?" Bai Xiaoruo turned around and glanced at Xuan Mingyu. What was he going to do?
"Yes." The nurse put the hot towel and basin of water back in the bathroom of the ward and left.
Bai Xiaoruo was still tightly clutching her hospital gown with both hands, looking somewhat lost.
Xian Mingyu sat down beside her, his large, warm hand taking hers in his. "What did your grandparents say to you when they came over at noon?"
When he approached her, Bai Xiaoruo could clearly smell a faint perfume scent on his coat. It wasn't a man's perfume; it was a woman's.
She turned her face away, her brows furrowing slightly, a bitter feeling rising in her heart. No wonder he hadn't come to see her all day. He had so many women around him; how could his heart possibly be firmly tied to her?
Bai Xiaoruo, what are you still hoping for? Are you hoping for his devotion, for me to be his one and only?
That's ridiculous.
Bai Xiaoruo glanced at the pillow. The words Xian Zhengsen had said before leaving at noon earlier still seemed to echo in her ears:
He handed Xuan Mingyu's phone to Bai Xiaoruo.
[Girl, this phone belongs to Mingyu. The things on it are very important to him. However, as his wife, I think you also have a certain right to know. Whether you look at it or not is up to you. You can return the phone to him when you feel it's appropriate.]
At the time, Bai Xiaoruo did not understand what Xuan Zhengsen's intentions were.
Why didn't you just return the phone to Hsien Ming-yu, but instead handed it to her?
How many secrets can a small mobile phone hold?
She didn't dare to look at his phone without permission.
But now... she doesn't want to return the phone to him so quickly.
