Chapter 437 - How Is She?
All these tragic situations made him think that maybe they should have their horoscope checked! Why was it that in the entire village it was only the Lin family who got hurt every now and then?
Luckily Doctor Gu was an experienced doctor even though Su Wan's injuries were severe Doctor Gu was able to treat her.
Of course he didn't have any anaesthesia at that time so he could only use one of the incense powder that the Lin brothers had.
He wasn't apt in dealing with women receiving such injuries - if it was a man he might handle it without any problem but Su Wan was an only a little girl who has been malnourished for a good deal of time of her life.
Doctor Gu couldn't bring himself to just sew her wounds up without knocking her out. Just the very thought of her suffering from so much pain was enough to make his hand shiver.
Fortunately, the Lin brothers still had some knock out incense and the matter of dealing with Su Wan's torn skin was dealt pretty easily.
With Doctor Gu's permission the Lin brothers took Su Wan back but they made sure to properly listen to each and everything that Doctor Gu had told them.
Shen Junxi who heard Doctor Gu say that they need to make Su Wan as comfortable as possible hurried to a shop and immediately bought several cushions.
Even though the carriage was cushioned they all still laid out a thick layer of bedding on the cart and only then did they lay Su Wan on the cushioned seat because her wounds were just stitched up.
This time Lin Chen drove the carriage really slowly, so slowly that the carriage was smoothly gliding on the road.
However no matter how smoothly he drove the carriage the road of the village was bumpy and Su Wan who was jostled on the seat slowly opened her eyes.
She looked around the carriage and then with a very wake voice called out to Lin Jing upon whose lap she was sleeping in. "Ah Jing.."
Lin Jing has been blaming himself endlessly hearing Su Wan's voice he felt as if all the dark clouds that were hovering over his head were lifted.
He carefully cradled Su Wan's head in his lap and asked softly. "Are you awake Wan Wan? How do you feel? Is anything uncomfortable?" Because he was too happy his eyes crinkled as tears of joy leaked from the corner of his eyes.
"You are finally a..wake Wan Wan!" Lin Yu who was sitting on the other end of the seat with Su Wan's legs on his lap immediately cheered up.
During this ordeal his expression had been so overcast that finally returned to its usual happy face. He had been furious enough to kill someone but he also knew that unlike Luo Chenxi.
Who was easy to deal with he couldn't deal with Luo Xin just like that .. especially after what Lord Fei had told them. According to Lord Fei the Luo family might have not intercepted Luo Xin's matter but if they dealt with Luo Xin then they might have to face retaliation from the Luo family in the near future.
If it was just him Lin Yu wouldn't have cared what happen to him but now Su Wan was with him. She was his weakness that anyone can grasp at any time so for Su Wan's sake he had to think about everything. Thus he had to think about the consequences before doing anything.
Lin Rui had asked for a day off because he was worried about Su Wan. He grumbled when he saw Su Wan suffering. "The carriage it's good but there is a big problem with its wheel made out of wood. They cannot absorb any shock... I can't do anything about that but once I become an official I will make the road to the village more smooth! I don't like it when I see that you are suffering like this -"
Su Wan would have laughed at his sullen words if not for her whole body feeling like she was some sort of freak accident in a Frankenstein laboratory.
She really wanted to tell him that by the time he will become an official, she would rather move out of this small village and live in the capital than let him smoothen out the roads of the village.
But she didn't say anything instead she looked at Lin Jing who was looking down at her face and said somewhat coyly. "I want to drink some water, my throat hurts a little."
Luo Xin had locked her up for an entire night but she hasn't given her any food or water. At that time because she was still terrified about her life Su Wan hadn't felt any hunger or thirst.
However now that she was safely rescued her parched throat was letting her know just how thirsty she was. "I haven't drank anything since last night."
As soon as Su Wan said this Lin Jing immediately wanted to jump out of the carriage and bring her water that tasted better than it did in heaven but he
couldn't do that because she was lying in his lap and he was too petty to share this rare feeling with anyone else so he could only let Lin Rui help Su Wan drink some water.
By the time they reached their home, the sun was already on top of their heads.
Yet in this burning heat a slim figure was anxiously pacing to and fro in front of the house - once they got closer they realized that it was Madam Zhu who was worried sick about Su Wan not an ounce of her usual calm could be seen.
She was sweating buckets of sweat but she still stubbornly stayed put at the entrance door so that she will see Su Wan returning with the others as soon as they return back home.
"Wife, why are you here- it's too hot.." However before Shen Junxi could complete his sentence, Madam Zhu pushed his hands away and rushed to the carriage. "How is Wan Wan? Where is she?"
Shen Junxi "...." I am glad she cares about Wan Wan but can she at least show me some 'fake concern?'
