Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was raining heavily.
Rain poured down along the eaves, enveloping the entire capital.
The sound of rain outside the house was mixed with intermittent sobs. The person on the bed’s eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes.
What she saw was a completely unfamiliar room. There was a moment of confusion in the woman’s eyes.
“Miss, you’re finally awake. You scared me to death.” You Bai choked and wanted to pounce on her, but she thought of something and hurriedly stopped.
Her hand stopped in midair and she looked lost. She said nervously, “Miss, how do you feel? Are you still feeling unwell? Do you… do you hurt?”
Her tone changed when she said the last word. She pursed her lips and cried.
Yuan Yuwan paused for a moment. Unexpectedly, she thought of the fire and the blurry face that suddenly pressed against her when the beam fell. She opened her mouth to say, “Don’t cry.”
However, when she said those three words, there was only the sound of her breath left. She frowned at the burning sensation in her throat.
Seeing this, You Bai hurriedly wiped her tears and said anxiously, “Miss, don’t speak. Sister MO Yuan said that you’ve inhaled too much smoke. Your throat might lose its voice for the time being, but it’s fine. You’ll be fine after recuperating for a while.”
Yuan Yuwan blinked to indicate that she understood.
She was lying on her stomach now. Not only was her neck stiff after being in this position for a long time, but she also felt uncomfortable.
She moved her body, wanting to turn around.
“Don’t move.” You Bai hurriedly stopped her. “Your back is seriously burned.
You can’t move yet.”
Not just her back, but her hands as well…
Thinking of the large blisters mixed with blood when MO Yuan treated her wound, You Bai couldn’t help but sob again.
Yuan Yuwan moved her lips. She wanted to comfort her by saying that she was fine, but she couldn’t say anything.
At this moment, the door creaked open.
Shen Yijia walked in with the medicine. When she met Yuan Yuwan’s helpless eyes and looked at You Bai, who was still crying, she said with a straight face, “You Bai, go to the next room and rest first.”
You Bai stopped sobbing and burped in fear. However, she insisted, “I won’t leave. I want to stay here and guard Miss.”
“You were drenched in the rain and didn’t rest all night. You must have caught a cold. What if you pass your illness to Sister Yuwan here?” Shen Yijia continued to scare her.
It would have been fine if she hadn’t said anything. Now that she said that, You Bai really felt dizzy. She suddenly stood up, covered her mouth and nose, and took a few steps back from the bed. “Then… I can stand here, right?”
“The room is only so big. What do you think?” Shen Yijia narrowed her eyes. “Besides, if you fall sick, who will take care of Sister Yuwan?”
You Bai was stunned. That made sense.
“Hurry up and go out. I’ll stay here with Sister Yuwan,” Shen Yijia said as she placed the medicine bowl on the table. She picked up the table and placed it beside the bed. She sat down at the spot where You Bai had been sitting and did
not forget to remind her, “There’s ginger soup cooked by MO Yuan in the kitchen. Go over and drink a bowl before going back to your room to sleep.”
Because of the rain, Madam Li asked MO Yuan to cook a pot of ginger soup in the kitchen.
“Then… Thank you, Madam Song. Thank you for your help,” You Bai thanked her softly. He glanced at Yuan Yuwan again and turned to leave reluctantly.
“Tsk.” Shen Yijia clicked her tongue and looked at Yuan Yuwan. “The medicine is still a little hot. Drink it after it cools down.”
Noticing that her lips were dry, she guessed that You Bai only knew how to cry and did not even feed her water. She asked with concern, “Are you thirsty? Do you want to drink some water first?”
Yuan Yuwan smiled and nodded.
Her smile made Shen Yijia’s heart ache for some reason. After confirming that the water in the teapot was not hot, she poured a cup and fed her spoon by spoon.
As she comforted her, he said, “Your injuries have all been treated. After the scabs are removed, I’ll get MO Yuan to make some scar removal ointment for you. I guarantee that it won’t leave a scar.”
Yuan Yuwan didn’t care about this. She endured the pain in her throat and drank three glasses of water in a row before shaking her head to indicate that she didn’t want to drink anymore. She asked in a low voice, “Where is this?”
“My house,” Shen Yijia said matter-of-factly.
Yuan Yuwan opened her mouth to ask another question.
Shen Yijia interrupted, “You have to use your voice less now.” Yuan Yuwan blinked.
Shen Yijia sighed. “You want to ask why you’re here?”
Yuan Yuwan nodded.
“You Bai came to look for me. I went to the Xiao family to pick you up.”
Because she had personally seen Xiao Qirui save Feng Manman first. Even though he was the one who carried Yuan Yuwan out of the sea of fire, You Bai was certain that he was unreliable. She guarded her desperately and didn’t let anyone approach. She even ran to the Song family in the heavy rain to ask for help..
