Chapter 237 - 236: Only Two Months Left (2)
Shi Che’s dark pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously glanced toward Ling Chuxia’s feet. Ling Chuxia’s feet trembled slightly from the pain, and the gauze wrapped around yesterday had already been soaked through with blood, the stains starting to dry and appearing quite startling to the eye.
Shi Che’s hands clenched tightly, and he immediately turned around to grab some medicine, then returned, squatted in front of Ling Chuxia, lifted her foot, and rested it on his knee before beginning to unwrap Ling Chuxia’s bandages.
Ling Chuxia, though in terrible pain, felt uneasy about having Shi Che change her bandages for her. She endured the pain, her voice trembling as she said, "Young Master, I... I can do it myself." Saying this, she reached out to unwrap the gauze on her own.
Due to her panic, she fumbled with the bandages, forcibly tearing at them. However, the gauze had stuck to the wound overnight, and her forceful tug tore at the skin and flesh, causing Ling Chuxia to break into a cold sweat and cry out in pain once more.
Shi Che paused with his hands, a hint of coldness flickering in his eyes. He raised his dark gaze slightly, gave Ling Chuxia a look, and said in an extremely icy tone, "Sit still."
Ling Chuxia was so startled by his words that she shuddered, withdrawing her hands immediately, not daring to move them disorderly again.
Only then did Shi Che reach out to continue unwrapping Ling Chuxia’s gauze. Even though he was being gentle, Ling Chuxia still trembled violently from the pain. However, she forcefully clenched her fists, tightly biting her lower lip, not daring to make another sound, lest she upset Shi Che.
As Shi Che cleaned Chuxia’s wound with medicated liquid, her hands trembled severely. She restrained herself, not even crying out in pain, opting instead to bite her lower lip so hard that it almost bled.
He remembered that Ling Chuxia had not always been like this.
