Chapter 581 Is It Okay Now That You’ve Recovered?
ric spoke with a smile in his tone, and Victoria knew he was teasing her, but she couldn’t help but
want to defend herself. “I wasn’t impatient,” she exined.
ric continued tough. “Hmm, I got it. You weren’t impatient.”
Victoria had nothing to say, feeling like he was asking to be punched.
She retaliated by pinching his waist forcefully; of course, she managed to avoid ric’s wound with her
pinch.
“Ouch! Although the pinch didn’t hurt ric, it still made him grunt.
His expression changed suddenly, and he swiftly grabbed her slender wrist as his voice turned deep
and hoarse. “Stop messing around.”
Victoria noticed his unusual reaction. At first, she thought she had hurt him with her pinch, but she
realized it wasn’t the case.
This was because his expression and actions didn’t seem like someone in pain, but instead… Is he
enjoying it?
Victoria had nothing to say. She thought it was just a simple pinch on his waist. Did he need to react
like this?
As she contemted, she heard ric say, “If you keep pinching, I can’t guarantee what I might do to
youter in the car.”
Victoria paused for a few seconds, broke free from his grasp, and muttered softly, “Pervert.”
The corners of ric’s lips curled up slightly when he saw her cheeks turn pink. He said, “Don’t forget
we’re married. We can do almost everything together.”
Victoria remained silent before she said, “But right now, your body is still weak. Wait until you’re at little
stronger.”
As she said this, he applied a bit of force to his hand and pulled her into his embrace, whispering
ambiguously into her ear to finish his sentence.
Victoria sensed a surge of heat flooding her ears, but she was tightly embraced, unable to break free
from his grasp. With no other option but to clench her teeth, she whispered, “Perhaps you should
prioritize tending to your own wounds before discussing anything else.”
Hearing her words, ric appeared to have a sudden realization. “Oh, so you’re saying that once I’ve
healed from my injuries, then it’ll be okay?”
Victoria was speechless. “When did I ever say that?”
“Huh? Weren’t you implying that just now?” he asked.
“I meant that you should focus on healing your injuries before thinking about other things, not…” The
more Victoria exined, the more she felt puzzled. She decided to stop exining and turned around,

saying, “I’m not going with you.”
ric quickly pulled her back upon seeing this “All right after all this teasing you’re still shy? He

chuckled softly and nted a gentle kiss on her forehead. “Let’s get in the car now.”
She nced at him, and seeing that he had no intention of joking around anymore, she asked, “Are we
leaving now?”
It was quitete, and she thought he would rest for the night before departing.
“Why not?”
He replied, “Don’t you need to rest and recover from your injuries? Well, after driving for two hours,
we’ll find a hotel to stay in.”
At this, Victoria understood his intention. ric wanted to make some progress on the journey in
advance, as two hours of driving could cover a significant distance.
The current time was neitherte nor early; after two hours, they could freshen up and rest.
Victoria agreed to this suggestion. If she could rest, and since he would be with her in the car, it would
be a good opportunity to rx.
After getting in the car, she asked again, “Did you bring your medication? You must change your
bandage when we arrive at the hotel.”
As soon as Victoria finished speaking, she felt her nose being yfully pinched by him. “Don’t worry, of
course. I brought it.” She breathed a sigh of relief.
As ric had mentioned, it was a two–hour drive before they pulled into a hotel, where they all stopped
to rest.
Victoria continued to take on the responsibility of changing ric’s bandage. After a long day of driving,
she was exhausted. Afterpleting her tasks, ric went out to handle some matters. It took about
ten minutes, and when he returned, he saw her lying on the bed, fast asleep.
The soft lighting in the hotel illuminated Victoria’s fair cheeks and cast a gentle, tender glow on her
sleeping form.
Seeing this scene, ric instinctively wanted to lift her and ce her on the bed, but as his hand
reached under her armpit, he hesitated, thinking about how she had diligently bandaged his
wounds.
She had so much trouble bandaging my wounds and was always worried and fearful because of my
injuries. I should take good care of myself and not let her worry anymore.
With this in mind, ric decided not to carry her. Instead, he helped her remove her shoes and gently
guided her to the bed, after which he arranged the pillow and nket for her. “Good night.”
Under Victoria’s careful bandaging and earnest instructions, ric’s recovery had been remarkably
fast./
Previously, he would wake up with pain in his wounds, but waking up on that day, he noticed that the
pain had significantly diminished.
He unbuttoned his cor and looked at his wound, his lips unconsciously curling into a smile. No
wonder she insisted on him resting. The results were indeed impressive.
Lost in thought, ric saw the person beside him turning over to face him. As he looked over, Victoria
slowly opened her eyes.
When their gazes met, Victoria, still half–asleep, instinctively asked, “How’s your injury? Is it better?”
At the sight of her waking up and her immediate concern for his well–being, ric felt a warm
sensation in his heart. “Yes, it’s much better, thanks to you,” he answered.
After hearing him say it was much better, Victoria didn’t believe it and thought he was just trying to
appease her. So, she sat up, pushed aside ric’s clothes, and examined his wound.
ric’s hand paused as Victoria leaned closer. He then tightened his lips and reluctantly said, “It’s
covered with gauze, so you can’t see it.”
Despite knowing she couldn’t see it, Victoria still tugged at his clothes and nced inside before.
raising her head to question him. “How can you say it’s much better when you can’t see it?”
ric smirked. “It’s a feeling.”
“A feeling?” she asked.
He answered affirmingly, “Yes, previously, it hurt when I woke up, but today when I woke up, it didn’t.”
“I see.” Victoria had a thought and asked, “Did the doctor mention how many times a day you should
change the medication? Isn’t once a day too little? Shouldn’t we add another round? It might help you
recover faster.”
She wondered whether increasing the dosage would benefit his wound since they were changing the
medication before bedtime.
After all, it’s been overnight, so the medication should have been absorbed by now, right? Even if it
hasn’t been fully absorbed, it surely wouldn’t be enough tost him the entire day today. How did I not
notice it before?
With these thoughts in mind, she urged, “You should call your doctor now and ask. If possible, we can
administer another round before we set off.”
Seeing her anxious expression and insistence made ric somewhat helpless. Ultimately, he had to
make a phone call to his doctor in front of her.
“At first, I didn’t suggest increasing the dosage because I was concerned about affecting the wound
when removing the gauze. Since you’re feeling much better, we can increase the dosage, but be
careful when removing the gauze
