Chapter 861: I Said Except for My Body

“Is there no one to take care of you?” Just by looking at the bandage, it was clear that Nangong Xu had wrapped it haphazardly himself.

Baili Xia’s heart grew heavier and more pained the more she looked.

She wanted to undo the bandage, but Nangong Xu’s large palm came down, pulling her hand away.

“Medicine has already been applied, no need to check,” he said indifferently.

“You’re not even willing to find someone to take care of you, and the medicine you applied was haphazardly done. How long will it take for you to heal at this rate?”

She wasn’t clueless about medicine, having learned it while accompanying him these days, and she already had a certain understanding of treating wounds.

Forcing his hand down, she still carefully began to loosen the bandage bit by bit.

“Xiaxia…” When the last layer of bandage was about to come off, Nangong Xu’s face grew even paler, large beads of sweat continually rolling down his forehead.

That large palm landed back on the back of her hand, its long fingers continuously trembling.

He was in pain, pain that had grown intense beyond his tolerable limits.

“I’ll help you lie down on the bed,” Baili Xia didn’t dare think too much, because as soon as she did, she felt so heartbroken she wanted to cry.

The wound treatment was horrible, just roughly bandaged after applying some medicine.

Even the bandage hadn’t been properly applied, and now, the final layer of bandage stuck to the flesh.

A gentle pull would cause him excruciating pain.

But, the bandage had to be removed, the wound needed to be disinfected and re-medicated, or else his injury wouldn’t heal and would only worsen.

In the end, maybe because of severe infection, it might…

She dared not think about it, she really dared not!

“Master, I beg you this time, please listen to me,” he was unwilling and continued sitting on the sofa, thinking of ways to make her leave.

But how could she just leave like that?

“Master…” Seeing that he still wasn’t persuaded, Baili Xia had to pull out her last resort, “You said you’d never refuse my requests.”

“Didn’t I also say, except about my body?” Nangong Xu sighed, his words unclear as he retorted.

Arguing a bit, saying something, maybe that could distract him from the pain of his wound.

The wound was on his body, part of his body, wasn’t it?

If the timing hadn’t been so wrong, Baili Xia really wanted to smack him on the head.

At a time like this, he still had the mood to joke.

“I don’t care, even if it’s your body, I want it now.”

She stood up, unable to bear looking at that wound any longer, yet she had to.

“Master, lie down on the bed.”

“Really, it’s not necessary…”

“Consider it a chance for me to practice on a patient. Don’t you always say I lack practical experience?”

She glared at him, her face already so pale that it had lost all color, yet still so stubborn!

If it were someone else, they might have already fainted from the pain by now.

What was he made of to still hold on?

In the end, Nangong Xu found himself unable to resist her, and with her cautious support, he walked to the large bed in the depths of the room and lay down.

She intended to immediately walk out and gather the necessary tools and medicines from the adjoining medical room.

After closing the door behind her, she placed all the items on the bedside table.

Pulling up a stool to sit beside the bed, she began to remove the final layer of bandage for Nangong Xu.

The entire process could simply be described with the word “horrific.”
