Chapter 957: Only I Can Guard It (4)
Meanwhile, Xiu Xi was frowning as he looked at Ruan Jiaojiao, "Have you got a fever?" he said, already reaching out to touch her forehead.
The Ruan Wei who was missing a screw immediately explained, "Yeah, Xiaoxi, you probably don’t know, but just a few days after you left, our sister was hospitalized. Her entire left hand was almost completely ruined, and she developed a fever at night. It was pretty serious, she stayed in the hospital for quite a few days, and only came out today..." His voice trailed off, growing weaker because he’d finally noticed that Xiu Xi’s expression was turning very unsightly, to say the least.
The nearby Little Fatty really wanted to kick his foolish little brother to death.
He was in the same class with Xiu Xi and naturally knew how much Xiu Xi cared for Ruan Jiaojiao.
A person who usually couldn’t bear even letting Ruan Jiaojiao hold a bowl of rice, now having been away for just a few days, he would have never imagined Ruan Jiaojiao would end up injured like this. It was obvious how angry he would be.
What’s more important is — he, as a brother, had been negligent.
Xiu Xi had only been away for a few days, and his sister sustained such an injury on his watch; the thought alone made him feel ashamed and filled with guilt.
"Xi Gege, I’m fine now, really. You should drink this, so you don’t catch a cold," Ruan Jiaojiao said nonchalantly, with a smile that seemed as if the pain of the past few days had never existed.
But could Xiu Xi possibly not know?
No one except him could have prevented the disasters that befell her. Due to certain reasons, she had to face far more troubles than others. Maybe in the eyes of others, a cut and a fever were common things.
But he knew that these common occurrences, if not taken care of properly, could have been life-threatening for her.
