Chapter 866 - Unwilling to Say Anything (2/2)
“Why are you hiding there? You have something to hide?”
Qin Xuejuan began to chastise Xiao Ma, but she remembered that a patient was still around and she was being a little loud. She turned to look and was relieved to see that Xia Ruoxin had already fallen asleep.
“Aren’t I afraid?”
Xiao Ma hid in the corner, refusing to come out.
“What’s so scary?” Qin Xuejuan rolled her eyes. “It’s just that her face is hurt. She doesn’t eat people.”
“I didn’t say that.” Xiao Ma raised his hand in exasperation. “I’m a man, and she’s a girl. It’s better for me to keep my distance even if she’s a woman whose looks are unknown.”
“Oh, right, Auntie Qin.” He hurriedly pulled Qin Xuejuan aside. “You still haven’t told me how she is. Is she better today? Young Master Rong will definitely ask.”
“Sigh…” Qin Xuejuan sighed. “She’s still the same. Her stomach has been empty for too long; she can’t eat anything now. I’m worried, but I can only feed her some soup every day. Even so, she’ll throw up.
“Thankfully, she’s not very spoiled, or else she’ll probably kick up a fuss.”
Xiao Ma shuddered. That was true. He had not told Qin Xuejuan that he was the first one to find that woman. Her face was unimaginable; it was entirely unrecognizable.
It was not obvious now that it was wrapped up, but he wondered if she would be able to accept how she looked now.
“Then, Auntie Qin, did she talk about herself?”
Xiao Ma asked again. This person has been awake for a few days already. Shouldn’t she at least say something? The least he could know was her name.
Qin Xuejuan shook her head. “She’s not willing to say anything.”
“Unwilling to say anything?”
Xiao Ma was a little disappointed.
“Actually, that’s right.” Qin Xuejuan knew that Xia Ruoxin had been through a lot. “Who would be willing to talk about something like this? Isn’t that just like sprinkling salt on her wound? So let’s not force her. She will tell us if she wants to. There’s nothing we can do if she doesn’t want to.”
“Yeah, that’s true. We can’t force it; what if she forces her into a corner, and she does something drastic?” Xiao Ma nodded profusely. He then wiped his face with his hand. He knew what to tell Lu Jinrong now.
“Oh, no!” He leaped up, scaring Qin Xuejuan.
“What’s wrong? What?”
Xiao Ma’s face collapsed. Oh no, he had forgotten the important matter.
“It’s time for me to pick up Young Master Rong.”
“Then, hurry up and go?” Qin Xuejuan twisted his ear. “I’ll break your legs if my Rong’er gets caught in the sun or rain.”
