After taking the prescription and seeing Doctor Yuan off in the carriage, Lin Zao originally planned to go to the clinic to get the medicine.
"Madam, wait a moment! I'll go get the medicine! You can stay home and watch over the General!"
Aunt Ren chased after Lin Zao and called out to her.
Lin Zao was actually a little embarrassed. Although Tang Jian was her husband in name, she had no relationship with him at all, and she didn't even have a sense of familiarity with him in her memory.
How could she possibly be in the same room with Tang Jian? She couldn't even bring herself to call him "husband."
Her experiences over the past decade in the apocalypse, and the betrayal of her ex-boyfriend, have made her wary of men. Although Tang Jian's appearance seems to fit her aesthetic, she can only admire him from afar.
Although Lin Zao was somewhat resistant, she obediently agreed to Aunt Ren's request.
It was already dark when Lin Zao, worried about Aunt Ren going to buy medicine alone, asked one of the soldiers to accompany Aunt Ren since the two soldiers were still standing guard at the main entrance.
Watching the two walk away, Lin Zao turned back. Thinking that everyone must not have eaten dinner, Lin Zao decided to go to the kitchen to cook first.
After Lin Zao had finished cooking, Aunt Ren and the others returned with the medicine.
After brewing the medicine, Lin Zao went to the room to call the two children and Tang's mother for dinner.
After much effort, Tang's mother managed to coax the two children to eat first, but she had little appetite and decided to continue watching over Tang Jian.
"You should eat something no matter what. I'll go get some food and we can eat here."
Tang's mother didn't refuse again, but nodded absentmindedly and continued to look at Tang Jian, as if she wanted to make up for all the things she hadn't seen in the past few years.
After everyone had finally finished eating and Tang Jian had been given his medicine, it was already very late at night.
"Mother, you should go back to your room and rest! You're not fully recovered yet, you need to rest well so you can regain your energy. Otherwise, when my husband wakes up tomorrow and sees you looking so listless, he'll worry about you!"
Lin Zao managed to utter those two words with difficulty.
Tang's mother knew Lin Zao's good intentions, and what she said made sense. She also hoped that her son would wake up and see that they were all alright. So she reluctantly asked Lin Zao and Aunt Ren to take her back.
"Zao Niang, please take the two children to my room. You need to take care of Jian'er tonight and won't have time to spend with them. Also, remember to help Jian'er wash up when you come back later. They've traveled a long way and are probably covered in dust, so they probably don't have anywhere to clean themselves!"
Lin Zao's face was stiff as she answered dryly, "I understand, Mother."
As soon as she sent Tang's mother back to her room, she urged Lin Zao to hurry back.
No matter how conflicted she was, she had to face it. Taking a deep breath, she filled a large bucket with hot water and returned to her room with a sense of impending doom.
Looking at Tang Jian lying motionless on the bed, Lin Zao tried to hypnotize herself.
"It's alright! Just treat him like he's dead!"
Although that's what she thought, Lin Zao's face was still flushed when she was taking off Tang Jian's clothes.
After finally managing to help him take off his clothes, Lin Zao was covered in sweat.
She turned her head to the side, not daring to look directly at Tang Jian, but she had accidentally glanced at him and discovered that he actually had eight-pack abs! Lin Zao's eyes were filled with a mixture of shyness and curiosity.
To be honest, this was the first time she had ever been so close to a man. When she was with her ex-boyfriend, the most they ever did was hold hands and hug.
After calming down a bit, Lin Zao carefully wiped Tang Jian's upper body.
When it came to her lower body, she didn't know what to do. After hesitating for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and slowly reached out her hand.
Lin Zao closed her eyes, her heart pounding, afraid of touching something she shouldn't. Just as she touched a patch of skin, before she could relax, a hand suddenly grabbed her hand tightly!
"ah!"
