Chapter 814 - Think About Herself (1/2)

She did not look at her leg, but she heard Gao Yi said that a piece of her meat was bitten off her leg and she needed to undergo a series of surgeries. She even had to go for skin grafting, where a piece of skin would be cut off from her front. She did not even know herself; how did she endure the pain of her skin being forcefully pulled apart?

She endured it on her own because she did not know what else she could do except to endure?

Oh, yes, there was something she could still do which was to recuperate her spoiled body and take her revenge.

This was her umpteenth time on the operating table. She turned around and saw Gao Yi in surgeon clothes talking to the nurses. He was wearing a pair of golden spectacles, and even though she could not see his face properly, his pair of eyes was still as warm as the very beginning.

Suddenly, she felt as if she was in another world and had met him for the first time. It was just the day before that he was a doctor and she was carrying a sick child with her thin arms.

Right now, he was still a doctor; but she was the patient.

Gao Yi took a look at her. Even though his face was covered by his mask, Xia Ruoxin knew that he was still smiling.

“It’s okay, don’t be afraid. Just take a nap.”

His stable voice that made people feel secure was hypnotizing her. No matter how big the hurt was—when it reached him, he would help appease the matter. Xia Ruoxin gently moved her lips.

“Thank you…”

Then, she closed her eyes, and her consciousness slowly faded away, leaving some tear droplets under her long eyelashes.

The surgery was very successful. Actually, it was just a simple grafting surgery that any average doctor could do; but Gao Yi insisted on doing it himself. The surgery took a whole two hours, and he had used all his effort on it. Of course, the surgery was perfect; and after hurting once, she did not hurt anymore.

Xia Ruoxin woke up on the second day and felt shrill pain on her back and leg. Even though it was painful, it was still within her tolerance.

Gao Yi walked over holding a box of medicine.

“I’m going to give you more painkillers so it wouldn’t hurt. You should sleep more, and it’ll be okay in a few days.”

“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin agreed, and her voice was a bit hoarse. Her face was pale again; even though it was not a major surgery—to her handicapped body, it was already a very big burden.

However, Gao Yi could not control any of this. He was just a doctor, not a deity.

The injuries on her body needed to be recuperated on her own; so did the wounds on her heart.

He added several medicines into the drip, and in no time, the medicine took its effect. The drowsiness came in waves, and once again, Xia Ruoxin fell asleep.

In the ward, there was a bunch of fresh gypsophilas. Even though these flowers did not have much of a smell, it was very easy to keep. The flower had already been here for three days, and it was just as new.

Gao Yi took the medicine out, and since she fell asleep, he allowed her to have a good rest. She had not slept properly in a long while; it was rare that she could finally sleep for so long.
