Chapter 122: My Wife's Hard Work
In the clinic, the doctor trembled as he gave Wen Wan acupuncture, occasionally glancing at Chen Yu who was standing behind him with a cold face.
"Sir, your wife is fine. She's just a little weak after the serious illness. She will recover after some time."
Shen Yu frowned, "She's fainted, are you sure she's okay? Are you a real doctor?"
He was anxious and had brought someone with him, so he ignored the doctor's misunderstanding of their relationship.
At this time, if she really explained it clearly, it would make people look down on her.
"..." The doctor's face was filled with helplessness. "I've been practicing medicine in this border town for decades. I've cured every illness in my neighborhood. If you don't trust me, seek help from someone else."
Shen Yu was silent in frustration.
The doctor sighed and said, "Young man, I know you're worried about your wife. As the saying goes, concern can lead to confusion, and I don't blame you for being rude. But... to be frank, if you were worried about her, what were you doing earlier?"
Shen Yu: “…”
Scolded by an unknown doctor?
Doctor: "Her health has deteriorated to this point. I really don't know why you keep taking care of her. At her age, health is the most important thing. There's still room for recovery now. If you keep taking care of her like this, and if she has trouble having children in the future, won't your family be the one to suffer?"
The doctor spoke these words sincerely, but implicitly, he was also saying that he was being harsh on her.
Shen Yu was speechless and could only remain silent.
The doctor shook his head and raised his hand to gently remove the silver needle from Wen Wan's head.

After a while, Wen Wan slowly woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she met Shen Yu's worried gaze.
"Are you awake? Are you feeling unwell? Are you hungry? Are you still tired?"
His series of disorganized questions left Wen Wan stunned for a moment.
Then, she smiled faintly, "Why, you're not hiding from me anymore?"
Shen Yu: “…”
He coughed twice awkwardly and looked away guiltily.
Wen Wan saw him like this and chuckled, "I'm fine. I had a good sleep and I feel much better now."
"Sleep? You call this sleeping?" Shen Yu asked coldly.
Wen Wan forced a smile and said, "Alright, I've already said it's okay, but you're still being unreasonable, aren't you?"
Shen Yu sighed, "Forget it. I'll take you back."
As he spoke, he was about to reach out and hug her.
Wen Wan stepped back and said, "It's not appropriate."
They are just friends now.
She is not a person who drags her feet. Once she makes up her mind, she will not give herself the chance to regret it.
She had already made up her mind to leave the border town as soon as she recovered.
As for where to go...she hasn't been to many places in the beautiful land of Duan Dynasty.
It would probably take more than half a year to walk from south to north.
They say time heals all wounds, and she hopes that's true.
Her retreat made Shen Yu stunned for a moment.
For a moment, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
"Okay. I'll help you then."
He helped her up stiffly, paid the medical fee, and sent her back to the courtyard.
He didn't pester her any further, which made Wen Wan secretly relieved.
Well, smart people are rational even when breaking up.
After sending her to the door, Shen Yu did not go in, but only politely instructed:
"Rest well. If you need anything or need help, you can send someone to tell me."
His tone was distant and polite, and he really seemed like just a close and intimate friend.
"Yes. Thank you." Wen Wan watched him get on his horse and leave.
When his figure disappeared at the intersection, she was shocked to realize that her face was covered with tears without her knowing when.
It turns out that her reason can control her thoughts, but cannot stop her body's instinctive reactions?

The days seemed to have suddenly returned to peace.
This tranquility gave Wenwan a sense of unreality.
Sometimes, she stared at the gray sky for most of the day until the rain fell. When she came to her senses, she found herself in the middle of the yard where she could not remember when she arrived.
During this period, Granny Li cooked for her in different ways, always trying to tempt her to eat more with delicious food.
Although she had a poor appetite, she would still eat half a bowl of rice more when she saw the old man's expectant eyes.
Now, her body has almost recovered, but her mental state is getting worse.
"Miss Xiaowan, what are you doing standing by the well? Move back quickly. It just rained, and the well is slippery. If you fall in, it will be terrible."
Granny Li went out carrying a wooden bucket and was almost scared to death when she saw this scene.
Wen Wan was stunned and her face immediately darkened.
She clearly remembered that she was reading a storybook in the house before, so how could she be by the well?
She had received higher education in modern society, so she was keenly aware that there was something wrong with her mental state.
She calmed herself down and explained to Granny Li calmly, "I was originally planning to get some water, but the ground was slippery, so I was just about to back away."
"That's good." Granny Li believed her words and went to the woodshed to get a bundle of straw to spread beside the well to prevent slipping.
Wen Wan stepped forward to help. After she finished, she clapped her hands and said, "Grandma Li, I'm going out for a while."
"Oh." Granny Li glanced at the sky. "Then you have to come back early. I've steamed the rice. In half an hour, it will be time for dinner."
Wen Wan responded, "I'll be back soon. It won't be long."
At that time, even Wen Wan herself did not expect that when an accident happens, it never gives anyone time to prepare.
Her trip caused so many twists and turns.

The nearest clinic is on the next street.
Wenwan walked quickly and arrived in a short while.
The doctor was boiling medicine on the stove at the door. When he saw Wen Wan, he stood up and asked, "Miss, do you want to see a doctor?"
"Yeah." Wen Wan looked into the clinic, "Is the doctor here?"
"Yes. In the backyard. Miss, please sit in the hall for a while. I'll go call the doctor."
The guy said that and went to the backyard.
After a while, the guy came back, followed by an old man with white beard.
When Wen Wan saw the old man, she was stunned.
"Hey, aren't you the doctor at the North Street Clinic? You were the one who treated me when I fainted last time."
The doctor looked her up and down for a while, then he remembered, "Yes, I remember you too. It was your husband who sent you here last time. You look much better now."
The doctor sat down opposite her and gestured for her to stretch out her hand while speaking.
Wen Wan stretched out her wrist for the doctor to feel her pulse. "There's nothing wrong with my body. This time I'm..."
"Emotional damage has caused internal damage, leading to deficiency of Qi, blood, Yin and Yang, malnutrition of the brain and nerves, and restlessness," the doctor said with a heavy expression. "Miss, you worry too much. On the surface, you appear to be fine, but in reality, you have a serious problem."
Wen Wan: “…”
Why did she suddenly feel like she was about to be diagnosed with a terminal illness by the doctor?
The doctor was still sighing, "The last time you came, I told your husband to be more considerate of you. Why didn't he listen at all?"
