âMiss Chi, Iâve called the doctor overâ¦â Huo Yiâs voice abruptly stopped and changed to, âSorry, Miss Chi, I didnât know Master Jue was awake. Iâll leave immediately.â
Chi Enenâs cheeks turned bright red, her earlobes so hot they felt like they were burning. She quickly sprang up and tried to explain, âItâs not what it looks like, Iâ¦â
Huo Yi interrupted her with a look that said âI know, I understand, I wonât say anything,â and said righteously, âDonât worry, Miss Chi, I understand. Master Jue just woke up, I can understand your feelings.â
Chi Enen, ââ¦â
Li Beijue rarely got to see her face flushed and embarrassed like this. In good spirits, he said to Huo Yi, âLet them in.â
Huo Yi dared not be as casual with him as he was with Chi Enen and immediately said respectfully, âYes, Master Jue.â
The doctor in a white lab coat came in, glanced at Chi Enen before entering, but quickly pretended to look away nonchalantly.
His attempt to act nonchalant only made him seem even more conspicuous.
Chi Enen knew her mouth was on her own face, yet she felt inexplicably incapable of explaining.
She realized that instead of rushing to explain now, it would be better to let it go, to prevent making it messier.
But actually admitting it made her feel stifled.
As she was feeling frustrated, the doctor had already done a simple medical checkup on the person on the sickbed and removed the stethoscope, saying, âYoung Master Li is recovering very well. Itâs the first time Iâve seen someone with such a good constitution as Young Master Li. Normally, with this kind of injury, Young Master Li would wake up tomorrow at the earliest. I didnât expect Young Master Li to wake up so quickly.â
âHow long do I need to stay?â Li Beijue wasnât interested in hearing this; he was more concerned about it.
The doctor thought for a moment and said, âAt least three days of observation. After three days, if the photo shows no problems, you can be discharged. But itâs still advisable to rest for ten days to half a month after being discharged, wait for the wounds to heal before working.â
Now he knew Li Beijueâs identity and how much every minute of this manâs time was worth.
So he didnât make strict demands but gave a gentle suggestion instead.
âEspecially the head wound; since itâs on the head, it requires more rest, try to use your brain less.â
Li Beijue furrowed his eyebrows and only then realized there seemed to be something wrapped around his head, frowning almost into a knot. He squinted at the doctor, âTen days to half a month?â
âAt least ten days to half a month, or even if the wound scabs over, itâs still very likely to break open.â
Li Beijueâs thin lips pressed into a straight line, his handsome face full of impatience.
He couldnât possibly lie in bed for ten days to half a month. Not to mention anything else, the fact that Chi Enen was held hostage hadnât been investigated yet.
If he stayed in the hospital, there was no guarantee the other party wouldnât strike again.
What would this woman do if he wasnât around then?
Just the thought of Chi Enen possibly encountering the same danger again made his chest feel clogged and inexplicably irritable. He asked the doctor, âCan it be faster?â
The doctor was only responsible for healing, not performing miracles. Surprised by the question, he paused, then said, âWell⦠thereâs probably no way. It really depends on individual health, but when I said ten days to half a month, that was already under quick recovery circumstances.â
For others, he would certainly suggest bed rest for at least a month.
âI recommend resting for at least ten days to half a month. Of course, if Young Master Li is truly busy, you can spare an hour for work each day.â
