"hiss!"
The moment the powder was sprinkled on, Hsien Ming-yu couldn't help but shout out.
The pain was worse than when his grandfather used family discipline to beat him.
The pain was even more intense than the first time the medicine was applied.
It felt like my heart was being torn apart, as if thousands of sharp knives were stabbing my back.
The pain was so intense that I could barely feel anything.
But he always remembered that he was a man, and that he had to endure the pain in front of the woman he loved, and that he could not shed a single tear.
Bai Xiaoruo couldn't bear to watch any longer. She knelt down and begged Dr. Liu to slow down and let him rest. If this continued, he would really be in excruciating pain.
"Please, stop crying, stop crying, don't let him suffer any more pain..." Seeing him in so much pain, she cried even harder, wishing that all of Xuan Mingyu's injuries were on her body, that the pain would be hers instead, so that he wouldn't have to suffer anymore.
“This…” Dr. Liu paused his act of applying the powder. “I know it’s really hard to bear the pain without anesthesia, but Young Master, this powder has to be applied quickly for it to be effective. It will hurt a lot at first, but it will be fine after a while.”
"I understand... You can continue..."
"No!" Bai Xiaoru shook her head, stopping Dr. Liu from pouring any more medicine powder.
Let him rest a little longer, just a few more minutes. She didn't want to see him trying so hard to endure the pain anymore. A little less of this powder should be fine; he'll be alright.
"Listen to me... I'm fine... I'm a little thirsty... Come downstairs... and get me a glass of water."
"Alright then." Bai Xiaoruo stood up, left the room, and went downstairs to pour water for Xuan Mingyu.
Without her crying here, he wouldn't have to worry too much. With her around, he would be more attentive to her feelings.
"Old Liu, keep going, I can bear it."
"good."
......
When Bai Xiaoruo poured the water and brought it to Xian Mingyu's room, Dr. Liu had already finished applying the medicine to Xian Mingyu and bandaged him with new gauze.
He repeatedly reminded Bai Xiaoruo that tonight was crucial and she should pay special attention. If the fever didn't rise again tonight, the pain would be significantly reduced by tomorrow morning.
It's best to wipe his body with water frequently to help cool it down. Avoid getting water on the wound and avoid spicy or irritating foods.
"Okay, I understand." Bai Xiaoru remembered everything Dr. Liu said.
Uncle Chen escorted Dr. Liu downstairs, leaving only Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu in the room.
She sat down by his bedside and placed the water glass on the table beside him. "Do you want some water now? I poured you some warm water, it won't be too hot."
"Okay, give it to me."
To make it easier for Xuan Mingyu to drink while lying down, Bai Xiaoru searched the kitchen for a long time before finding a straw, so he wouldn't have to keep moving around to drink.
Bai Xiaoruo held a water cup and a straw, feeding him water.
He finished the large glass of water in just a few gulps. Bai Xiaoruo put the empty glass aside and asked, "Want some more?"
"No, I don't want it."
Bai Xiaoruo glanced at the alarm clock on the table. It was already past five in the evening, and she should probably go home for dinner, otherwise her grandfather would worry.
"Now that your wound has been bandaged, I'll head back first. Your family should be back a little later, and they'll be able to take care of you then."
She had just stood up to leave when Xuan Mingyu grabbed her hand. "Don't go... Ouch!" He accidentally aggravated the wound on his back again, and his face showed pain.
"What's wrong? Oh dear, I told you not to move around. I... well, I'll stay with you a little longer, okay?" Bai Xiaoruo sat back down on the edge of the bed, still unwilling to let go of her hand. "Didn't Lao Liu just say tonight is crucial? Stay with me, okay?"
“This is not appropriate,” Bai Xiaoruo pried Xian Mingyu’s hand away and turned her face away. “We… are already divorced. I have no right to take care of you anymore. Besides, if I don’t go back tonight, my grandfather will worry about me.”
"Who said you're not qualified to take care of me anymore? My parents aren't home tonight. If you weren't here, how would I take care of myself?" He said pitifully, as if it were true.
While Bai Xiaoruo wasn't looking, Xuan Mingyu tapped his phone with one hand and quickly sent a message to the family group chat: [Anyone who wants a grandson is not allowed to come back tonight.]
Then he quickly stuffed his phone back into the blankets.
"Really? You're injured like this, and Grandpa isn't well either... No, I should call them." Bai Xiaoruo had just taken out her phone when Xuan Mingyu cried out in pain again. She quickly put her phone back in her bag and went to check on him. "What's wrong? Where does it hurt again?"
He groaned, seemingly still in pain from the injury on his back, "I might not make it... I feel so cold, yet so hot, my whole body aches..."
"Are you cold? Then, let me cover you with a blanket." Bai Xiaoruo pulled the blanket from the side of the bed and covered him with it. "You're not wearing any clothes. Are you hot? Do you want me to get some cool water to wipe you down?"
"I still need to wipe it off... but... if you kiss me, I won't feel so bad..."
"You!" Bai Xiaoruo's face instantly turned as red as a shrimp, and she didn't want to talk to him anymore. "You, what are you saying! I won't kiss you!"
He doesn't have a sore mouth, what's the point of kissing him? This lecherous man is always trying to take advantage of her.
