Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 290 - 289: Angry
Another clear female voice scolded, "Have you not heard Ah Zhi say that even the Imperial Concubine Xiao is very respectful to Doctor Wu? Even if I haven’t heard of the Medicine King Valley, just hearing those three words tells you which is more important."
"These legs are mine, and I said I won’t see a doctor, so I won’t. Do you despise me for being unable to walk? You’ve been going out a lot lately. Are you afraid to see this cripple?" The man’s hoarse voice carried a hint of sarcasm.
Lu He mustered her strength to argue with him: "It’s not that I despise you. I’m doing this for your own good. Do you want to sit in a wheelchair all your life, never able to walk? If you’re injured, you treat it; if you’re sick, you see a doctor. I may not have read many books, but I understand these principles. Opposition is futile. I will discuss with Ah Zhi later about scheduling a time with Doctor Wu for an appointment."
The woman’s voice was strong, filled with anger.
At this moment, she turned her head so the man in the wheelchair wouldn’t see the hint of grievance in her eyes.
The food and clothing expenses for Zhao Jun and her are provided by the Ye Mansion. Recently, she’s just been learning how to do business with the Ye Family and learning accounting from Teacher Xun Yin. Sometimes, if she has free time, she’ll help sweep fallen leaves and wipe tables.
She’s been diligently helping at the Ye Mansion, hoping to repay some of the kindness!
But in his eyes, it seems like she’s afraid to see him and is purposely avoiding him.
Lu He’s eyes quietly reddened as she swallowed her bitterness.
Ye Zhi and Shen Chen stood silently by the side, watching intently.
From the argument between the two adults, they sensed a private matter, not suitable for outsiders to meddle.
Zhao Jun slammed the tea table heavily, causing the teacups above to clink against each other. His expression was dark as he said coldly, "Even if you discuss, it’s useless. I won’t see a doctor, and you can’t force me."
The man’s slam on the tea table shook not just the teacups above, but also Lu He’s heart. She was embarrassed into silence, her heart feeling wronged.
The courtyard fell into silence; no one spoke, only the sound of breathing softened and intensified.
The sunset had completely descended, with only a hint of twilight stubbornly refusing to disappear. Darkness had yet to fully arrive. A few nimble swallows swiftly swept through the air, leaving graceful arcs behind. One or two perched on treetops, chirping noisily.
The swallows twittered, looking for Wang and Xie in the spring wind at the pavilion, where the evening sun angled across the black-robed alleys.
Lu He stood with her hands on her hips, not looking directly at the seated man, her head turned to the side, asking once more, "I ask you, do you really refuse to try?"
Zhao Jun insisted, "I won’t go."
The speed of his reply was quick, without a trace of hesitation.
Ye Zhi was frantically giving him looks, but the other party didn’t notice, and his words of refusal were so ruthless, leaving no room for recovery.
The petite figure of Lu He stood silently beside the tree, her delicate face expressionless, her usually clear eyes now dimmed.
To him, she was nothing more than an outsider.
She had been trying every possible way to heal him, serving him with dedication, and now a heavenly opportunity had presented itself, yet he didn’t know to cherish it. Perhaps she should focus a bit more on herself.
Pain, sorrow, anger... these are emotions reserved for those who care. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
The debt of gratitude for saving her in Feng County, Lu He had repaid. He could do as he pleased.
She was also a fifteen-year-old girl. Along this journey, she had suffered countless hardships, yet she never complained, only hoping that life would slowly improve.
If one doesn’t fight for oneself, the heavens and earth will curse them—there’s truth in this saying.
