Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 498 - 496: The Delicate and Hard-to-Raise Young Lady
Outside the villa, Sister Hui and the family doctor, who had already arrived, were waiting at the gate.
Seeing Jiayi and the driver helping the young master out of the car, Sister Hui was shocked. She had already got a rough idea of what happened over the phone, and now she hastily glanced at Jiayi and together with the doctor, helped the young master into the villa.
Jiayi waited in the living room on the first floor, and before long, the sound of footsteps crackled outside the villa, Su Yan had also returned.
Su Yan saw Jiayi, a complicated expression flashed through her eyes, but she didn’t say anything, just stared at Jiayi.
Of course, Jiayi understood what she wanted to ask, "Mr. Huo’s left arm is injured, the doctor is upstairs."
Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
The two sat on the couch, waiting together, without uttering a word.
Jiayi had never felt such a tense atmosphere with Su Yan before.
After a long while, Su Yan’s voice finally rang out in the empty living room, sounding very lonely, "Was Zhenyang injured while saving you?"
Jiayi had no choice but to admit honestly, "Yes."
Just then, the family doctor and Sister Hui came downstairs.
Jiayi and Su Yan stood up from the couch almost at the same time.
"Doctor, how is Mr. Huo?" Su Yan quickly stepped forward, anxious.
The family doctor replied, "His upper left arm was grazed by a bullet, the wound is deep, and a lot of blood was lost. I’ve stopped the bleeding, and there’s no threat to his life, but he has a fever from losing too much blood. You should keep an eye on him all the time. If the fever gets worse, he must immediately take medicine to reduce it to prevent further inflammation and sepsis. Also, Sister Hui told me..."
After hesitating for a moment and seeing that everyone present was their own people, the doctor spoke plainly, "Also, Sister Hui told me that Mr. Huo had major surgery in America, and he still has one more surgery left to do. I’m afraid he needs extra care, and if his condition still isn’t good after tonight, I think it’s best to return to America immediately since his attending doctor there knows his condition best."
"Okay, thank you, doctor. I will keep an eye on Mr. Huo tonight," Su Yan said quickly, expressing her thanks.
Sister Hui showed the doctor out.
Jiayi didn’t take long to consider and walked upstairs, but then she heard Su Yan call from behind, "You should go back first, Jiayi."
Jiayi turned around, if it were any other day, she wouldn’t compete to take care of that man, but today, it was her fault that he had been injured, and she felt guilty, "Miss Su, let me take care of Mr. Huo."
Su Yan’s delicate brows couldn’t help but furrow, she was about to speak when a voice came from upstairs, "Let her come up."
Both of them looked upstairs at the same time.
The man, who didn’t seem to have left his bedroom, was leaning on the carved railings with one hand, his impressive and tall upper body bare, from his left shoulder to his arm wrapped completely in gauze. His handsome face was still the pallor of blood loss, but his voice, from between his thin lips, was very determined, leaving no room for anyone to refute.
Su Yan saw the frost on his face and didn’t say anything else, barely perceptibly clenching her fists.
Jiayi hurried upstairs and helped him into the bedroom.
Once in the bedroom, the man who had just walked through the hallways like a king quickly turned pale and weak, lying on the king-size bed exhausted.
Jiayi busied herself with helping him into bed, taking off his shoes, and covering him with a thin blanket, she couldn’t help but whisper quietly, "Knowing you’ve lost too much blood and still moving about."
His charming eyelashes fluttered, and his deep eyes opened a sliver, "Otherwise, how could I make you stay with me?"
His tone was not without a teasing frivolity.
"Do you think not enough blood has been shed?" Jiayi bit her lip, trying to get him to lay back down, but something felt wrong.
His body temperature was a bit high. Indeed, he was running a fever.
On the coffee table was the first-aid kit left by the family doctor.
She quickly took out the thermometer and let him hold it in his mouth. A few minutes later, she checked it, thirty-seven point five degrees, a low-grade fever.
The doctor had said that he needed to reduce the fever and inflammation immediately, or he might develop sepsis.
She gave him the fever reducer to take, and then watched over him with extreme caution, "Do you feel dizzy? Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?"
Looking at her flurry, he lifted his lips slightly, "I’m okay. Just a bit cold."
Cold? Jiayi hurried to close the window tightly and drew half of the curtain before coming back and saying, "If you’re still cold, I can get you another blanket or turn the air conditioner on..."
Before she could finish, she was tugged over.
Startled, she smelled the faint scent of medicine on him and instinctively wanted to push him away, but she was afraid to hurt his wound. Hesitant to move, she huddled like a little kitten.
If he had known that this would make her so submissive, perhaps he wouldn’t have minded getting hurt earlier.
His lips pursed, and he wrapped his uninjured arm around her waist, resting his head and neck on her shoulder with a lazy voice, "I prefer a human warmer."
If it weren’t for the fact that he was injured because of her, Jiayi really wanted to elbow him away.
But after getting to know his previous ways of taking advantage, such an action... seemed not much of a big deal anymore.
And so she let him hold her as they lay for an afternoon.
Eventually, Jiayi’s eyelids grew heavy, sleepiness set in, and she murmured, "Mr. Huo, if you need to drink water or get out of bed, just call me..."
With that, her eyelids completely drooped, and she fell into a dark, sweet slumber.
After all, she had been running around all day and had also been frightened; she was too tired.
This sleep was so deep that she didn’t know that he had woken up several times in the middle, helping himself to water and taking his medicine without the slightest intention of waking her up.
She was a restless sleeper, occasionally kicking off the blanket, and it was he who kept covering her up again.
This little woman didn’t seem like she was taking care of anyone; it was more like he was the one taking care of her.
But leaning against the headboard, gazing at the little woman curled into a ball beside him, sleeping soundly, he didn’t find this care displeasing.
Initially, he only felt a long-lost sense of male pride in her presence, wanting her to be his catalyst, to help him regain his virility.
After all, he was only thirty years old, in the prime of his golden years, and had no desire to abstain and become a monk so early.
But at some point, the closer he got to her and the longer the time they spent together, the more intense this peculiar emotion grew.
This little woman, although a mother, was more delicate and precious than a young girl, born to be pampered and indulged.
And the person to pamper and indulge her was none other than himself; it seemed he was the only one who could do it.
It was as if this woman was naturally his, naturally to be taken care of by him.
Not just as a mistress to be kept in Yunling City—he wanted to confine her permanently by his side.
Just like every time he was with her and Zaizai, whether it was sleeping together that night, visiting the amusement park together, or going to the supermarket a few days ago— 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
They all gave him a sense of warmth among the three of them.
In the past, whenever he felt this way, although somewhat surprised, he didn’t think much of it.
But today, when he protected her from danger without a second thought, it magnified and shocked the curiosity in the depths of his heart.
In that instant of crisis, his reaction was almost without consideration, driven by a single thought—
This little woman must not be harmed, otherwise, he would make others pay with their lives for her, at all costs!
