The family doctor looked at Lu Lingche helplessly, as she had no way to continue as the patient was restless.
Lu Lingche moved forward, avoiding her wound and held her down, “Don’t move, we’re applying the medicine.”
“I don’t need it! You’re pretending to be a good person, let go of me!”
Despite her protest, Lu Lingche held her, signalling the doctor to administer the medicine.
The doctor worked deftly, applying the medicine and then wrapping Qiao Yin in layers of gauze.
Only then did Qiao Yin notice that her top had been fully removed.
She repositioned herself face down again.
Having completed her work, the doctor left the medicine, gauze behind, and left hastily.
It wasn’t that the doctor was unprofessional, it was just that Lu Lingche’s commanding presence was too intense. Working in front of him was agonizing and required careful effort.
The atmosphere in the bedroom turned cold.
Qiao Yin, in pain, broke out in a cold sweat, not wanting to say a word to Lu Lingche.
Lu Lingche looked at the blood again seeping through the gauze on her back, feeling an inexplicable irritation.contemporary romance
What kind of quack doctor is this, can’t even treat a wound properly!
After a long while, seeing no signs of the bleeding stopping, he had to speak up, “Call your grandmother, let her come and see you, your back is still bleeding.”
Qiao Yin startled, quickly said, “I can’t let grandmother know!”
Lu Lingche frowned, “What’s wrong? You’re almost dying and you still don’t want her to come?”
“If you haven’t died, how could I possibly die! If grandmother knew, she would worry, you must not contact her.”
As Qiao Yin said this, with clenched teeth she got up and attempted to get out of bed.
Lu Lingche held her bare shoulder immediately, “What are you doing?! Stay down!”
Qiao Yin was too weak to push him away. She even had to rely on his arm for support, “Get me a top, I’m going home, I want to use my own medicine.”
Lu Lingche grew furiously impatient, “Are you mad? In this condition, how can you go back?”
He grabbed her shoulder with one hand, while placing her leg down with the other and turned her to lie face down on the bed again.
Qiao Yin lay there, and couldn’t help but cry.
“What’s wrong with you Lu family? Aren’t you supposed to be the most respectable centuries-old family? How could you beat your daughter-in-law to death? In contemporary society, what kind of in-laws would do such a conscienceless act?”
“I was also raised and loved by my grandmother since childhood. I am a good girl from a decent family. Why did I have to suffer such wrongs after marrying into your family? My husband cheated on me, my mother-in-law beat me, do I owe anything to your family?”
“Even though you are the one who committed the wrongdoing, why am I the one to bear the consequences? Doesn’t your family have even a little bit of humanity, even a shred of conscience?”
Lu Lingche quietly listened, without comforting her, nor refuting her words.
Only after she stopped crying, he said, “Give me your house keys, I’ll get your medicine for you.”
Only then did Qiao Yin remember her bag, “My keys are in my bag, and my bag is at your house.”
She obviously couldn’t go to the Lu’s house herself, Lu Lingche had to go for her.
Lu Lingche covered her with a blanket, “Don’t move around, I’ll be right back.”
Qiao Yin didn’t say anything. Of course, she wouldn’t move, where could she go before getting her keys back?
She was only hurting herself by moving around.
Lu Lingche left the building and drove home.
The atmosphere was also deteriorating at home. Madam Lu was crying alone in the living room, her sobs so heart-wrenching that it seemed as if she, and not Qiao Yin, had been beaten.
Upon seeing Lu Lingche, she said woefully, “Son, has that little minx bewitched you? Didn’t you say that you wanted a divorce? Why are you still protecting her? Do you think I was wrong to hit her?”
Lu Lingche responded coldly, “She is my wife. I brought her into our family to repay a favor to the Old Madam. Even if there are no feelings between us, there is no justification for whipping her!”
“She was disrespectful, so of course I had to discipline her.. You expect me to let her walk over me? I am her mother-in-law, it’s only natural for me to discipline my daughter-in-law!”
