Chapter 1063 - if You’re in Pain, I’ll be in Pain Too (1/2)

His hands were stained with blood. She definitely wouldn’t like to be touched by them.

“It’s okay, we’re safe now…” he said hoarsely before turning around.

Just as he turned around, a soft little body hugged him tightly from behind. The girl rubbed her small face against his handsome back and cried softly, “Don’t go… I’m scared…”

The soft and weak cry from behind softened Leng Hao’s heart. He slowly turned around and held her little face, which was drenched in tears, in his right hand. “I just killed someone. Are you scared of me?”

Ye Xiaotao shook her head hard, “No… that’s not what I mean. I didn’t push you away when we were in the tunnel because I was scared of you. I was just too scared of seeing blood… I believe that no one in this world is born to love killing people. Just like this bad guy. If you don’t kill him, he will kill us. You had no choice…”

Leng Hao wiped away her tears with his thumb. “But, what you’re afraid of is part of my job…”

Ye Xiaotao stretched out her arms and hugged Leng Hao’s waist tightly. She pressed her head against his heart and listened to his strong heartbeat. It made her feel as if the whole world had become serene.

“Honey, although I don’t like your job, I can slowly come to terms with it in the future.”

“Why?”

“Because…”

Because he was in this profession, so she would try to accept everything about him.

Leng Hao swallowed. Then he gently closed his eyes. He stretched out his right arm and held her tightly. His empty soul had finally been filled.

He had been looking for such a girl. A girl who would try to enter his heart, so that he would never be lonely again.

Leng Hao kissed her hair. His big palm slid down to her flat belly and rubbed it. “I saw you hugging your stomach just now. Did it hurt anywhere?”

Ye Xiaotao let go of him and shook her head. “I’m fine. I did feel a little uncomfortable just now, but I’m fine now… There are a lot of herbs here. Your arm needs treatment.”

…

The two of them returned to the main house. Ye Xiaotao lit a candle and placed it on the wooden table. Leng Hao sat on the wooden stool and held the knife above the flame.

Ye Xiaotao stood behind him and untied his bloody shirt. She frowned and whispered, “Although I found a painkiller herb, you need to remove the bullet and the infected flesh first. So, you’ll be in a lot of pain. Are you sure you want to do this?”

Leng Hao showed no change in emotion. “There is no modern medical assistance available here. If we don’t treat it now, my arm might be crippled. It’s just a little pain. It’s okay.”

Ye Xiaotao didn’t say anything else. This was the only way.

She unbuttoned the man’s shirt, revealing his robust upper body. Leng Hao removed the knife from the flame and said, “Let’s begin.”

The knife was red from the heat. Leng Hao slowly inserted the knife into his wound.

Ye Xiaotao didn’t dare to look. Hot tears burst out from her eyes again. The man didn’t make a sound, not even a grunt. But she saw him tremble and all the muscles in his body tensed.

He was suppressing.

Ye Xiaotao didn’t dare to hug him too hard, so she gently hugged his right side. She wanted to give him some strength and comfort. “Honey, if you’re in pain, just cry out.”

The sweat on Leng Hao’s forehead rolled down. He exerted force with his hand, and the bullet came out from his wound and fell to the ground.

He didn’t stop there but quickly removed the infected flesh from his arm.

After doing all that, Leng Hao threw the sharp knife on the ground and shut his eyes. His chest was heaving up and down due to the immense pain.
