On the first morning, just after being wheeled out of the operating room, her entire small face was bloodless, and the intense pain finally made her believe that she was in serious trouble!
“Water, I want water…” she repeated this sentence over and over.
The anesthetic and the dry, cold air in the operating room made her throat as dry as if stuffed with sand.
Wei Zhan Yi was anxious and worried, mixing warm water, inserting a straw, and gently holding her head to help her drink.
Looking at her weak and listless state, she was nothing like her usual sharp-tongued self.
Although he had a thousand words choking in his throat, all of them meant to scold her for her recklessness, but… not now, he wouldn’t settle accounts with her today. He would do that tomorrow.
Tomorrow, he wanted to hammer the “truth” that women are naturally meant to be protected by men into her head.
Unexpectedly, on the second day, she slept all day due to excessive blood loss, and his fingers tapped on the hospital bed all day long.
On the third day, her strength slightly recovered. She could sit up, her spirit was not bad, and a bit of color returned to her small face. She immediately transformed from a pitiful porcelain doll to an infuriating little brat.
“I want my laptop,” she said.
“I want my USB drive and backup CD,” she said again.
“I want my voice recorder,” she continued.
“I want my pen and sketchbook,” she added.
“I want today’s newspaper,” she went on.
Wei Zhan Yi’s face darkened. Although he rejected all her requests, he considered himself already quite tolerant.
“You’re a patient. You should rest. What are you making a fuss about?” he sat to the side, his large hand holding a fruit knife, peeling a Fuji apple. “Shut up!”
She rolled her eyes and casually picked up a piece of apple to eat. Just after surgery, her appetite wasn’t great, but this sweet and crisp fruit was just right for her stomach.
He wore custom-made dress pants, his shirt sleeves rolled up. In the hospital room, this high-end office worker outfit seemed out of place, but he smoothly peeled the fruit and washed the knife while dealing with her unreasonable demands.
