221 Wound Treatment
Now that his father had left, Qiao Yu suddenly felt that his persistence all these years had been meaningless.
He couldn’t understand his father’s insistences, and he couldn’t understand the insistences his father had imposed on him.
As for Old Master Qiao, he was now surrounded by everyone as Lu Ying treated him.
The old master closed his eyes in pain and seemed to be mumbling to himself.
Qiao Yue clenched her hands tightly.
Nothing must happen to Old Master Qiao!
She didn’t know that things would turn out like this. If she did, she would have knocked Qiao Yi unconscious before he tried anything.
She didn’t want to see Old Master Qiao so angry even if she was punished.
Qiao Jing stood behind her and patted her shoulder gently. He mouthed to her, “Everything will be fine.”
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Jing and nodded.
Lu Ying frowned and inserted the last needle.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the old master.
The pain on the old master’s face gradually disappeared, and his face relaxed as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Lu Ying gestured for everyone to be quiet and led them to the hall outside.
“The old master fainted from agitation. The problem is neither big nor small.”
Qiao Yue looked at Lu Ying with a frown.
“The old master was on his way to full recovery, but he was still taking some supplements, mainly for his heart and kidneys. The effects are quite strong, so he should be resting.” After saying that, Lu Ying sighed. “But after this happened, the supplements he took before was too strong and the old master couldn’t take it. I will reduce the dosage later.”
“However, he will have to recuperate for a while. Try not to agitate the old master during this time.” Lu Ying continued.
Qiao Jing frowned. “Then when will Grandpa wake up?”
“He should be able to wake up tomorrow. Don’t worry about that.” Lu Ying replied.
Qiao Yue heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. Her grandfather just needed to rest and not go through the previous suffering.
After everyone left, Qiao Yue sat by Old Master Qiao’s bed and held his hand.
“Grandpa, you must get better.”
She looked at her grandfather lying in bed and felt a little sad.
After spending time with the Qiao’s, she had regarded the old master as her most important relative. She hoped that she could accompany him for a longer time.
Qiao Jing stood nearby, looked at Qiao Yue and patted her head. “Don’t worry too much. Grandpa will get better.”
Qiao Yue nodded.
The two of them stayed with the old master a while more before they left.
They walked in silence until they reached Qiao Yue’s room.
Qiao Jing watched Qiao Yue enter her room. “Rest early. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear a lot of things today.”
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Jing, who also looked exhausted.
He found out tonight the story between his father and his aunt. It probably didn’t feel good.
“Would you like me to give you a massage? Like last time?” Qiao Yue asked.
Qiao Jing looked at Qiao Yue’s sincere eyes and nodded.
Qiao Yue led Qiao Jing into her room, sat him down and massaged his shoulders and neck.
Qiao Jing’s shoulders and neck were even more tense than last time.
“You’ve worked hard recently,” Qiao Yue said.
Qiao Jing closed his eyes. “It’s alright. It’s my responsibility to the Qiao family.”
When Qiao Yue pressed on Qiao Jing’s back, she seemed to have touched a wound and Qiao Jing let out a gasp.
“What’s wrong? Did you get injured just now?”
Qiao Yue reached out to lift Qiao Jing’s shirt.
Qiao Jing clutched his shirt tightly. “It’s okay. Second uncle must have got me. It’s okay.”
“It’s okay, I have a first aid kit here. Let me treat your wound.” Qiao Yue was really worried.
“No need,” Qiao Jing tugged at his shirt tightly, as if Qiao Yue was going to molest him.
After a few minutes, Qiao Jing finally realized that Qiao Yue didn’t know that he already knew that she was a girl. If he refused now, it would only arouse her suspicions.
He let go of his shirt and smiled. “I didn’t mean it like that. I just didn’t want you to worry. Second uncle’s beating just now was quite painful.”
Qiao Yue felt a little upset when she heard this.
Qiao Jing was tough and this was the first time she heard him cry out in pain. “You must say when it’s painful. I’ll help you treat the wound.”
Qiao Yue asked Qiao Jing to take off his shirt as she went to get the first aid kit.
She was a little anxious and her actions were flustered.
