Xu Family’s house.
Xu Mushen was sitting on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the unconscious girl on the bed.
Perhaps it was because she jumped from the second floor and landed on some sharp object, her leg wound was ghastly and turned inside out.
The family doctor was cleaning her wound and commented, “Miss’s leg injury is quite deep, which could result in scars if not treated properly.
Fortunately, no arteries were punctured, otherwise, it might have been life-threatening.”
At this remark, Xu Mushen furrowed his brows, “Scar?”
The doctor hesitated, “I mean, it could lead to a scar if not properly treated …”
“Then treat it well.”
Xu Mushen interrupted him straightforwardly.
The doctor paused a moment, swiftly understood his meaning, and replied, “Yes.”
Taking a deep breath, he picked up the surgical tools and bent down to focus on the wound.
Since the master cared so much about Miss, he must not neglect any detail.
However, as soon as his hand touched Xu Qiaoqiao’s wound, she shuddered as if electrocuted.
As this happened, a pair of hands were flailing in midair as she cried out, “Sweet, Sweet!”
This startled Xu Mushen, who subconsciously moved to the bedside.
Xu Qiaoqiao’s flailing hands touched his just as they were about to land, she tightly grabbed onto him and immediately became calm.
Xu Mushen: …
Her hand felt as soft as boneless.
But when he thought this hand belonged to Xiao San, he felt repugnant and forcibly tried to pull away.
However, as soon as he exerted force, Xu Qiaoqiao who had just calmed down immediately became panicked, clinging on even tighter to him, pleading, “Sweet, Sweet, don’t leave me!”
Xu Mushen frowned.
The doctor advised, “Sir, please don’t move.
She’s struggling so much now, the muscles in her leg are all tensed up, it’s hard to sew the wound.
Please bear with it for a few more minutes!”
Xu Mushen: …
As reluctant as he was, given the reason for her injury, he conceded.
He stood still, and sure enough, Xu Qiaoqiao quieted down again.
After her wound was stitched and anesthetized, Xu Mushen instantly flung her hand away, rushed into the bathroom to clean himself, and then walked out.
He stared at the family doctor, “Look after her.”
Then he left the room.
At the doorway, he paused for a moment.
For some reason, he was reminded of the situation at the orphanage.
Halting his steps, he turned around and added, “Keep me informed if anything happens.”
“Yes, sir.”
Xu Mushen walked into his study, turned on the computer, and started working.
After an indefinite amount of time, a knock on the door was heard.
Upon looking up, he saw the family doctor walk in, stating, “Sir, Miss has started to develop a fever, likely due to the wound getting infected and the rain she was exposed to earlier.
I’ve already put her on an IV.”
Xu Mushen moved his gaze away from the computer screen, “I understand.”
The family doctor left.
An hour later, after finishing the business at his company, he stood up to rest in his bedroom.
But as he passed by the guest room where Xu Qiaoqiao was resting, he paused.
Compelled by an unfathomable force, he pushed the door open and entered.
The family doctor was already asleep on the sofa.
Xu Mushen didn’t wake him up.
Instead, he walked over to the bedside, and using the faint bedside lamp, he gazed at the girl.
In her sleep, she seemed uneasy.
Just then, the girl’s phone rang.
Xu Mushen looked down to see the phone on the bedside table flashing a contact name: Sponsor.
