Chapter 828


    | pursed my lips and smiled faintly. Then, | looked at Valerie and said, "Your soup''s really nice. Thank you!"


    Valerie was slightly stunned, and her tears fell even more fiercely, but she smiled.


    | thought that | should let go of matters eventually. | didn''t want to be someone like Josiah.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Letting go didn''t mean covering all the scars, but rather, it was to remain hopeful for the future even after the wounds are


    reopened.


    By the time | sent Valerie off, it was almost midnight. | wasn''t too sleepy. Taking into consideration that | had to shift Hendrix''s


    position some timeter, | decided to stay up and be on guard.


    At midnight, | was in a light sleep. | faintly felt some movement, so | opened my eyes to see Hendrix trying to shift his position


    and get out of bed.


    Reflexively, | immediately sat up straight and got out of bed to hold him.


    Due to the fact that he had tugged at his wound, his forehead was slightly sweating. Seeing that | was awake, he looked at me


    somewhat apologetically and said, "Did | wake you up?"


    | shook my head as my heart ached for him. | helped him up and said, "What''s wrong? The doctor said that you can''t get out of


    bed yet."


    He pursed his lips. He supported himself by his arm on the edge of the bed and said, "I want to go to the washroom."


    | was startled for a bit, then said, "There''s a bedpan."


    “Help me up!" he ordered in a low voice, but it was still powerful with his characteristic huskiness.


    He had his own dignity after all. | couldn''t dissuade him, so | just helped him get out of bed.


    His tall body leaned on me. | wasn''t sure if it was my imagination, but it felt like he wasn''t putting any weight onto me.


    We entered the washroom. His arm was still connected to the IV drip. | didn''t think much of it and lowered my head to loosen his


    pants.


    He stopped me with his hand and looked exasperated. He said, "It''s alright, | can do this myself. Wait for me outside."


    | was not at ease so | said, "It''s not convenient for you to sit down!" His injury was on his back. It was still fine to walk, but sitting


    down would cause his wound to be ripped open.


    He smiled and shook his head. "It''s okay. Wait for me outside. Be a good girl," he said.


    Staring at him, | just couldn''t be at ease. | hung his IV drip aside and said, "I''ll loosen your pants. | promise | won''t look. | just


    want to help you sit down."


    "Be good, wait for me outside!" He smiled and tried to coax me, saying, "Don''t worry, I''m not a child. | know my limits. If anything


    happens, I''ll call for you."


    Our eyes met. He was adamant for me to trust him. How could there be such a stubborn person?


    Sighing, | stepped out of the washroom, then he closed the bathroom door.


    | pursed my lips and realized that he really was bull-headed.


    Due to the fact that | was worried, |

    "Yes, I''m fine!" he answered straightforwardly.


    About ten minutester, | heard the sound of water. | got up and was ready to go in. However, as soon as | opened the door, he


    was already standing there.


    Seeing that he was alright, | breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to support him back to the


    bed.


    As he had to change his dressing


    every three hours, the nurse eyin


    to change his dressing. Phe new


    drodsint didn''t cover much of his


    injury, and the wound was directly


    exposed in the air. Please read the

    Looking at therge area of burns on his back, my heart tightened and | broke into a cold sweat.


    "The corroded skin is basically gone


    and new flesh has already started to


    grow. You still need to be


    hospitalized for soneine. taAbt lo

    exined and got rid of the rotten

    away his surgical knife and allowed


    the nurse to continue treating the


    wound. Please read the original

    Looking at his mutted back, my hair stood on end. | was so shocked that my entire body was shuddering.
