Li Tingyan carried Nianyang straight to the county hospital. Nianyang had a cut on her forehead that needed immediate attention.
He also wanted the doctor to check if Nianyang had any other injuries, but fortunately, the final result was that there was nothing serious, just that Nianyang was too weak from not eating or drinking all day.
Li Tingyan went to the hospital cafeteria and bought a bowl of porridge to warm his wife’s stomach.
"Divine Doctor Gu, I’m really sorry this time. I bothered you for help and ended up getting you hurt like this, I’m truly despicable!"
Ma Shu kept apologizing while applying medicine to Nianyang. Seeing her suffer so much made him feel terrible, what had he done?
"Doctor Ma, this is not your fault, don’t blame yourself." After having a few spoonfuls of porridge, Nianyang barely regained some strength and lay in Li Tingyan’s arms without moving.
"Um, the cut on Divine Doctor Gu’s forehead is a bit large. To be safe, she still needs a tetanus shot. I’ll have the nurse come in to give her the injection."
Ma Shu bandaged Nianyang’s forehead and, while packing up the medicine box, nervously informed Li Tingyan. This man’s presence was indeed intimidating, Divine Doctor Gu was really bold to let him hold her!
Nianyang, who was already half-dazed, perked up when she heard about the tetanus shot, "I’m not getting a tetanus shot!"
What a joke, tetanus means a shot in the butt. She’s too old for that, especially in front of Li Tingyan, it would be utterly embarrassing!
The most crucial thing is that, although she’s a doctor and gives shots to others quite happily, when it comes to herself, she’s really afraid!
"Nini, be good. You’re injured, how can you not get a shot?" Li Tingyan found it somewhat amusing, not expecting his usually calm wife to be so headstrong at times.
"I don’t care, I’m just not getting it!" Nianyang pleaded in a small voice,
"It’s just a small cut, I’ll just take some medicine myself and it’ll be fine..."
"No, you must get the shot, otherwise I won’t be at ease."
Li Yama could agree to anything Nianyang wanted, but when it came to her health, there was no compromise. Nothing could shake him.
As he spoke, the nurse was already approaching with the syringe, smiling gently at Nianyang’s words,
"Don’t worry, it’s just one shot."
Nianyang pulled a sour face, unable to push Li Tingyan away due to her lack of strength, so she could only stay in the man’s arms and watch the nurse come closer, feeling utterly furious.
"If you want me to take the shot, you have to leave and not watch..." Nianyang weakly struggled, feeling embarrassed for the first time, this time she was really down on her luck.
Perhaps it was the heavens teaching her a lesson for living too arrogantly since she transmigrated, this incident was meant to curb her arrogance.
Li Tingyan gently touched her face, "You don’t have the strength, I’ll hold you."
The nurse was already squatting in front of Nianyang, "Sweetie, pull down your pants a little bit."
Nianyang had no strength to do it herself, so Li Tingyan did it for her. Nianyang was both angry and annoyed, yet helpless, so she puffed up her cheeks and commanded angrily, "Tingyan, close your eyes quickly and don’t look..."
"Alright, alright, I’ll close them..."
Li Tingyan, not daring to upset his little wife, obediently closed his eyes and gently pulled down Nianyang’s pants.
That expression, that tone, that action, one could say it was very doting.
The nurse, watching this scene, nearly burst with delight. This couple was truly the most loving she’d seen in the hospital in all her years.
"Alright, I’m going to start the injection."
The nurse said and then pushed the needle in. Nianyang’s body instantly tensed with pain and instinctively wanted to struggle, but was held firmly by the man.
"Nini, don’t move, it’ll be over soon..."
"Mmm, mmm..."
After the injection, the nurse left, leaving the space for the loving couple.
