Xiaoxiao was somewhat moved in her heart. Looking at her husband, he clearly felt a sense of loss; he evidently desired to have a child that was theirs, yet he had twice agreed not to have children for her sake.
This must be love, she thought, to tolerate everything about her. They would have children, just not right now. She wanted to bear his children because they would be the crystallization of their love, a testimony to it.
"Husband, we will definitely have children in the future."
The couple had only been in the room for a short while when Xiaoxiao’s mother brought the doctor in. "Xiaoxiao, the doctor is here."
"Ah!" Finally, the doctor had arrived. Xiaoxiao, anxious about her husband’s injuries, went out to greet them. "Mom, you go out first. It will be inconvenient for you when we check the external injuries later."
"Okay, I’ll go out and wait. Call me if you need anything."
"Yes!", Xiaoxiao responded.
After Xiaoxiao’s mother left, Xiaoxiao led the doctor into the room. Before even examining Yang Ming, the doctor asked in astonishment, "Miss, which Divine Doctor managed to cure you?"
The old doctor looked completely puzzled. Just yesterday, her pulse had been weak and her life not expected to last more than five days, yet today she was lively and spirited. It truly was a world where miracles happen and there are indeed persons of extraordinary abilities. He felt humbled about his own medical skills.
With an embarrassed smile, Xiaoxiao didn’t know how to explain. Should she say she had encountered a fairy? She made up an excuse, "No one treated me. I heard my husband calling out. I didn’t want to leave him, so I just woke up."
The old doctor was even more amazed, "Incredible, it means your life was not meant to end yet! Come, let me take your pulse and see how you are now?"
Xiaoxiao didn’t extend her hand; she wanted the doctor to attend to Yang Ming first. Seeing this, Yang Ming spoke, "Wife, let the doctor take your pulse first. I am also very worried. You have just awakened; don’t ignore any potential issues."
"I am not in a hurry. After you’re examined, I will do it." Xiaoxiao turned to the doctor, "Doctor, please check my husband first. He was beaten and vomited blood yesterday, and I am worried it caused internal injuries."
Yang Ming, unable to argue with his wife, agreed to be examined first. Sitting with the old doctor, he extended his arm for the pulse check. After a moment, the doctor said, "Let me see your injuries."
Yang Ming complied with the doctor’s request, opened his clothes, and allowed him to examine the bruises on his body. After witnessing them, the doctor was once again surprised; this couple was extraordinarily fortunate, the first he’d seen who were on the brink of death and miraculously survived.
"No big deal, drink some herbal medicine and rest for about ten to fifteen days and you’ll be fine. It’s lucky you are inherently strong; otherwise, with these beatings, someone else might have been confined to the bed unable to move."
Listening to these words, Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved. He was alright; she hadn’t expected his brother to hit so hard. A horse at a bargain was a lenient outcome indeed.
After speaking, the old doctor took out paper and pen, wrote a prescription, and handed it to Xiaoxiao, "Here is the prescription. Find some time to get the medicine; take it morning and evening."
"Okay, thank you, Doctor."
"Wife, I said I was okay, didn’t I?"
"That’s only because you’re inherently strong; someone else might not have been so lucky." Xiaoxiao retorted.
Yang Ming turned to the old doctor and said, "Doctor, please check my wife’s pulse now."
"..." She had merely been wandering with her soul for a while, and there was really nothing wrong. But seeing her husband so concerned, she still extended her hand.
