A few minutes later, Dr. Liu arrived at Xian Mingyu's room.
When his clothes were gently undone, Bai Xiaoruo, who was standing to the side, covered her mouth in shock.
How could this be...?
He was so badly injured, yet he endured it all without uttering a sound for so long.
The thick gauze that was originally wrapped around his back was completely soaked in blood, and much of the gauze was stuck to the flesh and blood, making it impossible to remove it by hand in the short term.
Dr. Liu frowned. He had told him to apply the medicine and change the gauze on time before he left yesterday. With the bandage wrapped for so long and the bleeding going back and forth, how could it possibly get better?
The worst fears came true: the wound infection caused a fever. Dr. Liu took the thermometer and measured Xian Mingyu's temperature, which was already 40°C. If the fever continued like this, he would become mentally impaired.
"How have you been taking care of him? Haven't you even changed his dressings?"
Uncle Chen shook his head, "Young Master won't let anyone touch his wound, he keeps saying it's nothing, so we... don't dare to overstep our bounds."
"He's injured like this, how could he be alright? If you had notified me any later, his back would have been completely ruined." Dr. Liu scolded, taking out a pair of delicate scissors from her medical kit. After a simple disinfection, she put on gloves and began to carefully cut the gauze that was stuck to Xian Mingyu's skin on his back.
This act was extremely cruel; blood was streaming down his back, soaking the sheets with his blood and sweat.
Hsien Mingyu, who had been unconscious, was jolted awake by the pain once more. He gripped the sheets tightly beneath him, enduring the agony in his back.
Bai Xiaoruo couldn't bear to watch any longer. She knelt by his bedside, held his hand, and saw how much pain he was in. She couldn't help but cry. She wished she could take half of his pain away from him.
She pulled up her sleeve and held her fair arm to his mouth. "If it really hurts, just bite me. It won't hurt if you bite me."
Xian Mingyu slightly opened his eyes and gently pushed her arm away. "Idiot... what's the point of biting you... I'm not in pain... seeing you makes me feel better..."
He thought she had already gone back, but he was surprised to see her when he woke up. It was so nice.
Seeing her tears, he reached out to wipe them away, but accidentally aggravated the wound on his back, causing him to gasp in pain again.
"Hmm!"
"Young Master Xian, please don't move around anymore, otherwise the bleeding will increase even more." Dr. Liu, who was cutting the gauze off his arm, was also extremely careful.
The best course of action would have been to go directly to the hospital for anesthesia before proceeding, but it's too late now. There's no way to wait until we go to the hospital. We need to change the dressing and gauze as soon as possible, otherwise the wound will become infected and rot, and it could even affect the health of his entire back.
"Yes, yes, don't move around, and don't say anything." Seeing him like this, Bai Xiaoruo felt really bad.
She held his hands to prevent him from moving around.
"How could Grandpa be so violent? Did you say something wrong? You should have called me. If I were here, I would have told Grandpa that I wanted a divorce, and he wouldn't have put all the blame on you."
“It’s no use… No matter who’s right or wrong… Our Xian family… has never… ever had a precedent for divorce… It’s understandable that Grandpa… is so angry…” Xian Mingyu’s voice was very weak, and he was about to fall asleep again at any moment.
But in order to see her more often, he couldn't bear to sleep, afraid that if he fell asleep, she would leave again.
No matter how much pain he felt in his back, he would never show it in front of her.
"I'm sorry... It's all my fault... If only you hadn't married me, things wouldn't have turned out like this..."
Yes, they were from completely different worlds. If Xuanmingyu hadn't married her back then, they wouldn't have realized their incompatibility until today, they wouldn't have gotten divorced, and he wouldn't have been beaten so badly by his grandfather.
It's all her fault. She shouldn't have married him. Even if she were beaten to death by the Bai family, it would be better than dragging others down with her.
"What does this have to do with you... You know... When we first married... I really... hated you... I kept wondering... what... it was about a woman like you... that attracted Grandpa and Grandma... so much..."
"Later... I found the answer myself... and that is... your kindness... is unmatched by anyone... As a result... in the end... I also hopelessly... fell in love with you..."
Bai Xiaoruo pursed her lips tightly, feeling somewhat at a loss due to Xuan Mingyu's sudden confession.
What's the point of saying all this now? They're already divorced; it's all over.
"Don't say anymore... From now on, you should live a good life with Su Yuluo. I... I might meet someone who loves me very much and doesn't mind my past... We should both start a new life... Just forget about me."
Bai Xiaoruo was originally thinking that since he loved Su Yuluo so much, she should call her to come and keep him company. However, she didn't know Su Yuluo's number. When she saw that Xuan Mingyu was so badly injured, she put that matter out of her mind and only thought about taking care of him herself.
