Wang Youbao saw Li Wuyu in such pain that a cold sweat broke out on her forehead, anxious and not knowing what to do.
The medical clinic in town was not far from the Wang Family’s abode. By the time the doctor was summoned, Li Wuyu had just sat down on the bed in the Wang Family’s Guest Room.
When the doctor was treating Li Wuyu’s wound, she kept crying out in pain, so much so that Wang Youbao couldn’t bear to watch from the side. He quickly stepped out of the guest room and then paced back and forth in the corridor outside.
He paced unconsciously back and forth; yet his thoughts remained entirely within the guest room.
In fact, he could still hear a bit of Li Wuyu’s cries from the guest room, softer though they were. But to Wang Youbao’s ears, they still burned and tormented him just the same.
At this moment, Wang Youbao could no longer deceive himself.
He, harbored affection for Li Wuyu.
And he too knew that Li Wuyu had always held affection for him.
Li Wuyu, a girl, was always clinging to him, dropping hints everywhere. He was not foolish; how could he not know of Li Wuyu’s feelings for him? However, out of concern that Li Wuyu was not from a respectable family, he didn’t want to marry her, and thus had been deceiving himself all along, pretending not to be aware of Li Wuyu’s feelings for him, as well as his own feelings for her.
But no matter how much he lied to himself, he could never deceive his own heart—he liked Li Wuyu.
If he didn’t like Li Wuyu, how could it be that whatever she asked for, he would truly give it to her, not minding even if he spent a fortune on her?
Initially, he indeed did not like Li Wuyu and even found her annoying. But later on, he became accustomed to her nagging. Without Li Wuyu’s constant chattering by his side, he felt uncomfortable, as if something was missing.
Now, Li Wuyu had been injured for his sake, and he was frantic over her injury. Even just now, he had lost control because of Li Wuyu...
He would not deceive himself any longer, nor could he. He had fallen, fallen into the hands of a girl named Li Wuyu!
Even if Li Wuyu was not from a respectable family, he now accepted it!
Inside the guest room, Li Wuyu was in pain and heartbroken. Her arm had been wounded for the sake of Wang Youbao, but this scoundrel Wang Youbao had simply left her to the doctor and walked away.
After the doctor had treated the wound on her arm, although it was still unbearably painful, Li Wuyu lay on the bed with her back to the door, sulking to herself. She had taken a fancy to a man as unresponsive as Wood and, what’s more, a man without conscience. She truly was blinded.
Since Wang Youbao had accepted the fact that he had fallen for Li Wuyu, he would no longer evade the issue. As soon as he saw the doctor leave, he eagerly inquired about Li Wuyu’s condition.
The doctor said, "Although Miss Li has lost quite a bit of blood, fortunately, the wound is not fatal. As long as she takes her medicine and rests well, there will be no major issues."
Wang Youbao’s heart finally settled, and he asked, "When will the wound heal?"
Wang Youbao said, "Doctor, prescribe any medicine she needs. Don’t worry about the cost, no matter how expensive."
The doctor nodded, "Send someone with me back to the clinic, first fetch a few prescriptions for her, and after she finishes those, send someone to the clinic again."
Upon hearing this, Wang Youbao quickly had Yu Erming follow the doctor back to the clinic to fetch the medicine for Li Wuyu to take.
Before the doctor had gone far, Wang Youbao turned and entered the guest room to see Li Wuyu.
There were two maidservants attending to her in the guest room, but Wang Youbao didn’t spare a glance at them. Instead, as soon as he entered, he saw Li Wuyu lying on the bed with her back to the door.
