Yue Linze’s face was extremely close, his light laugh brushing against Tao Yu’s face. Just as she was in a daze, she heard him whisper: “It might hurt a bit. I’m afraid you’ll struggle, so I’m holding you.”
Tao Yu: “…?”
That ominous feeling hit Tao Yu again. She was about to refuse the treatment when speaking made her scream in pain, her eyes quickly filling with tears as she frantically struggled: “Yue Linze, are you crazy?!”
Is this a method of saving or killing someone?!
“It doesn’t hurt, just endure a bit more,” Yue Linze consoled while his hands became more forceful.
Tao Yu wailed and shed tears, unable to break free, only able to yell at him to let go. Hearing her words, Yue Linze looked aggrieved, his eyes reddening: “I’m saving you, and you’re scolding me.”
“I don’t need it! Remove your hand!” Tao Yu shouted.
Yue Linze’s eyes instantly reddened, but he continued with medical professionalism. Tao Yu initially screamed but gradually fell silent, looking weak.
After the treatment, Tao Yu moved her limbs slightly, relieved she wasn’t paralyzed, but the pain in her waist was several times worse.
Why didn’t she listen to the elders! Tao Yu lay on the bed, completely powerless.
Yue Linze sat beside her, sulking. After a while of her not speaking to him, he remembered the advice about men being considerate to their wives and approached her: “Although you yelled at me, I’ll still forgive you. You’re my wife after all.”
Tao Yu glanced at him, weakly asking: “Have you treated others before?”
“Of course,” Yue Linze immediately replied, “I once treated Liu Yuanwai for a cold.”
Tao Yu took a deep breath and asked: “How did that person end up?”
“He passed away,” remembering the deceased, Yue Linze looked sad.
Tao Yu’s mouth twitched, looking even more sorrowful. Even if a steel needle-laden millstone rolled over her waist a thousand times, she wouldn’t have been this painful.
“City Lord,” Tao Yu said faintly.
Yue Linze paused for a moment, looking at her puzzled: “Why aren’t you calling my name anymore?”
“…Linze, could you please step out for a moment? I want to rest.” Tao Yu’s voice was still unsteady.
