âYou should go back, take a shower and change your clothes, older brother. You donât look good like this.â When Xia Qingyi could remain conscious, she smiled as she told Mo Han, who was sitting on the bed.
Mo Han smiled too. âAlright, Iâll be back as soon as I can.â
He watched Xia Qingyi slowly drift off to sleep as he sat on the edge of the bed. He kept his hand on her blanket to feel her weak breathing, as if this was the only way that could help his thumping heartbeat become regular.
Mo Han left eventually. He listened to Xia Qingyiâs words and returned home to take a shower. It was only when he saw himself through the fogged mirror in the washroom that he realized that he really looked the way that Xia Qingyi had described. Even his beard stubble had grown out.
Mo Han smiled, as he took out the razor to shave his chin clean of stubble. He wiped his hair as he walked out to put on his clothes.
He did not stay at home for too long. He went to Xia Qingyiâs room to get some clothes after his shower and got some necessary items that Xia Qingyi needed for her hospitalization stay before he hurriedly rushed to the hospital again.
He started to worry again at the thought of Xia Qingyi being in the hospital alone.
This time however, Xia Qingyi slept longer. After he had reached the hospital and had sat by her bed for two hours, she was still not awake.
âYour younger sister seem to be in quite good condition right now. She can be transferred to a normal ward if there are no issues after two more days of observation here.â
The doctor making rounds stood in front of Xia Qingyiâs bed for a while as he listened to her heartbeat with the stethoscope.
âDo remember to come back after two weeks to remove the stitches. Do not let her eat anything spicy or sour for the next few weeks and let her eat more light food. It would be good for the healing of her wound.â the doctor continued to say.
âI got it.â Mo Han answered. He asked as he looked at Xia Qingyiâs cast, âHer hand should be fine, right?â
âItâs not that serious. She has a slight fracture and has twisted her tendon. Try not to move her left hand too much in the mean time and just let it recuperate. If not, it might have some effect on the healing of her bone afterwards.â
Mo Han asked, âItâs fine for her to keep sleeping and not wake up right?â
The doctor replied, âLet her sleep if she can sleep. Sheâs probably exhausted. Thereâs no problem with it. You donât have to wake her up.â
The doctor turned to look at Mo Han. âHowever, thereâs one thing for you to pay extra attention to. I heard that she was practically naked when she had been sent here. Did she...?â
âAlmost, but no.â
âThen youâll have to remember to counsel her a little after she wakes up. Sheâll be slightly affected psychologically after experiencing such a thing. Try not to let a psychological problem arise from this.â
âI know.â
Mo Han sat back on the edge of Xia Qingyiâs bed after the doctor had left as he waited for her to wake up.
Xia Qingyi woke up about half an hour after he had started to wait.
The first thing she saw after opening her eyes was Mo Han. In her sleepy daze, she smiled at him.
âYouâre back?â Xia Qingyi opened her mouth to speak.
Mo Han moved to caress her hand. âYes.â
âMy head hurts.â Xia Qingyi felt a little more conscious.
âItâll be fine after a few days.â
Xia Qingyi sobered a little and finally saw the cast on her left hand. She could not move her body as there was still a drip connected to her right hand which was wrapped in bandages.
âMy hand... is broken?â
âNo, itâs just a slight fracture. You need the cast and to let it recuperate for two or three weeks.â
âAh? For such a long time?â
âItâs not long. The most important thing is to recuperate your body.â
âIs there a mirror? Nothing had happened to my face, right?â
Mo Han smiled. âYour face is fine. Itâs quite good.â
âBring the mirror please. Let me take a look, I canât be at ease.â Xia Qingyi pouted.
