After Lu Ning entered the room, she gently closed the door and locked it.
She looked at Li Nian and smiled. “Are you sleepy?”
Li Nian shook her head, not sleepy yet.
Lu Ning handed her the phone. “Do you need to make a call?”
Li Nian understood what she meant, only that she did not say it so bluntly.
She wanted her to inform her family that she was safe, but she did not know her family situation or why she was out, so she only asked if she wanted to make the call.
Li Nian shook her head. “There’s no need.’
No one in that family would care whether she lived or died.
Lu Ning did not inquire further. She kept her phone and looked at her.
“There’s something I need your help with.”
Li Nian looked at her in surprise.
She did not know what else she could do to help.
She agreed right away.
Looking at the gauze on Lu Nings waist, Li Nian sat by the bed in a daze.
“The medicine’s in that blue bottle, the gauze is in the little box.”
Li Nian came back to her senses and nodded. She put on sterile gloves and a mask, then gently helped Lu Ning remove the gauze. After undoing it, Li Nian gasped when she saw the wound.
Her hand could not help but tremble.
She did not expect it to be such an awful wound.
Lu Ning felt her shock and asked her with a smile, “Is it very ugly? I can’t see it myself.”
Li Nian’s throat quivered slightly as she said softly, “It’s not ugly.”
Lu Ning smiled and did not say anything.
Li Nian threw the gauze into the trash can and prepared to apply the medicine to her wound with the specialized tools. However, her hand froze for a moment, afraid that she would hurt her.
“Tell me if it hurts.’
Lu Ning nodded. “Sure.”
Only then did Li Nian gently touch her wound. She was very careful—but no matter how light it was, she would feel pain even when she touched it herself, but Lu Ning did not say a word.
After she was done, she covered Lu Ning with gauze. Her forehead was already sweating.
“Alright, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
Lu Ning shook her head and slowly sat up. “Not at all, thank you.”
Lu Ning looked at the sweat on her forehead and raised her hand to wipe it off.
“Thanks for your hard work.”
Li Nian shook her head. “It’s no trouble.’
She took off her mask and gloves and tossed them into the trash can. Then, she took out the trash bag and tied it up before putting everything away.
Lu Ning watched as she did this smoothly.
“By the way, don’t tell my parents.”
Lu Ning spoke, her index finger on her lips.
Li Nian looked at her and nodded.
She sat beside her and could not help but ask, “How did you get injured?”
“l was trying to save someone. It was from a knife.”
Worse still, the person I saved did not even send me a single message!
Li Nian noticed the trace of dissatisfaction on her face.
After Lu Ning finished speaking, she got up and walked to the closet. She took out a pillow and a blanket from a box.
Li Nian stood up and took it. “Let me do it.”
Lu Ning nodded and let her lay the blanket out.
When Li Nian was making the bed, there was a knock on the door. Lu Ning went to open the door and saw Lu Jingzhi standing at the door with a plate of fruits.
“Sister, Daddy asked me to give you these fruits.”
Lu Ning took it with a smile. “Thank you, Jingzhi. You should go to bed.”
Lu Jingzhi nodded. As he yawned, he turned around and walked to his room.
“Good night, Sister.”
“Good
Lu Ning closed the door with a smile and placed the fruit on the table.
“Nian’nian, I’m leaving it here. Remember to eat. I’m going to wash up.”
Li Nian subconsciously replied, “Okay..”
