Chapter 154
Melanie bonked him on the head and chided, “You little rascal! How dare you make fun of me? Careful, I might tell your dad and ask him to teach you a lesson!”
“Please, Melanie! I’m sorry!” Shaan begged timely. Melanie chuckled, not commenting any further.
Lily went up to Loid and took his pulse. Confirming that his condition was stable, she produced her acupuncture needles and looked at him.
“Take off your clothes and lie with your face de
down”
Loid had been taking herbal medicine and medicated baths. The baths were very effective, having beested his immunity by improving his physique. Although he was poisoned, the poison had yet to enter his organs. He only fell into a coma yesterday because he lost too much blood from the gunshot wounds.
At this point, he no longer needed herbal medicine. Acupuncture itself would do the work
Loid lay on the bed obediently, and Lily gently inserted the needles into his body. Looking at their harmonious interaction, Melanie smiled.
“I just remembered that I have something to attend to. Lily, please take good care of Loid,” she said, striding toward the door.
A pang of frustration shot through her when she saw Shaun and Daniel still planted in their seats.
“Aren’t you guys leaving?
Shaun was stunned “Why should we? We’re not busy after all”
Melanie itched to crack his head open and sift through his thoughts. Couldn’t he tell that she was trying to let Lily and Loid spend some time together?
“Just leave when I tell you to. Why do you have so many questions?” Exasperated, Melanie dragged Shaun out of the ward.
Daniel, however, was perceptive enough to realize her intentions. He quickly trailed after her and lett. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Only Lily and Loid were left in the ward. Neither of them spoke, and the ward was so silent that even the faintest drop of a needle could be heard.
Having Lily in intimate proximity allowed Loid to hear her labored breathing clearly. His expression fell as he rasped, “Are you tired?*
“Kind of,” Lily replied absently, her tone laced with exhaustion.
It’d been years since she handled such gruesome incidents. Her temper had improved a lot ever since she came to Lagersfield City because she didn’t want to cause trouble. However, several complications still caught up to her. It started off with Belinda’s case last night, followed by Loid’s predicament.
Swamped with the responsibilities of nursing people back to health and resolving issues, she felt utterly overwhelmed. She wasn’t physically worn cut; her mind was exhausted instead. How she wished she could leave the bustling city behind and reside in an idyllic place with the love of her life.
But in the end, this was merely a dream. Reality didn’t allow her to have such dreams.
“Rest if you’re tired. You could take a nap beside me later, and I’ll make sure not to let anyone disturb you” Loid felt sorry for her, but he couldn’t find a better way to comfort her.
She didn’t necessarily need any comfort due to her resilient nature.
“Alright,” Lily concurred and remained silent.
Once she finished inserting needles into the acupoints on his back, she began working on his front. Two prominent gunshot wounds on his chest greeted her instantly once he turned around. Another wound was on his abdomen, and he had one on his waist as well. These were all fatal spots.
Lily faltered and stared at Loid. She drawled out, “You’re really lucky.” No one else but him could survive soch injuries.
Loid smirked. “I’m only lucky because you’re with me.”
