248 It Will Hurt a Little
The father and son were escorted by the servants.
When they got close, Zhao Chuchu spotted a terrifying wound on the left face of the boy. It was already inflad and infected. If the wound were not tended to right away, it would leave a huge scar on his face for the rest of his life.
Yuan Hui was not expecting such a shocking sight either.
“Chuchu!” She turned to look at Zhao Chuchu.
!!
Zhao Chuchu knew what Yuan Hui wanted and nodded. “We should find an inn first. We have to treat the wound right away, or else it’ll leave a huge scar.”
She could see the kindness and gentleness in the eyes of the father and son. She could tell they were kind people.
Zhao Chuchu would not hold back on saving people like them.
She also overheard the argunt and knew the daughter had gone missing in the Xia clan’s mansion.
With such an unfortunate incident, there was no way she would sit still and do nothing.
Yuan Hui quickly got her n to bring them to an inn.
The father and son thought that Zhao Chuchu and Yuan Hui were going to kill them, and they were trembling in fear.
“I apologize if I have offended you. But, please spare us. I beg you…” pleaded the father.
He even knelt and banged his head on the floor.
“Stop! We aren’t going to hurt you. We just want to help because we saw the wound on your son’s face.” Yuan Hui quickly signaled her servants to help the father up.
The man was stunned as he could not believe what he had just heard.
“D-did you just say you will help my son?”
“Yes. Let’s go.”
The man felt as if he was dreaming.
He was just kicked out of the Xia clan, and in turn, he ran into a kind group of people who wanted to save his son.
He was worried that he was just dreaming, but he didn’t want to lose the chance either.
With his daughter missing, if anything happened to his son as well, he would not have the guts to face his dead wife.
When they finally reached the inn, the owner spotted Yuan Hui and imdiately greeted her. “Ms. Yuan!”
“Give one of the best rooms you have,” Yuan Hui said.
“Will do! Please, follow .”
Although the Yuan clan only traded in salt, their business was still huge. It was natural that people would want to form a good relationship with the family.
The owner did not even ask why Yuan Hui had brought so many people to the inn. He guided them to the room and was ready to leave.
“Owner, can you get so hot water and clean towels? Also, can you have soone get these dicine for ?” Zhao Chuchu stopped the owner and requested, telling him the dicine she needed.
“Of course. Please wait while I go get them.” The owner imdiately nodded.
Zhao Chuchu looked at the child and pointed at the stool. “Can you sit over there for ?”
The boy was scared and hugged his father’s leg tightly. He looked at the stool but did not move.
“I apologize. My son is very shy around strangers.” The man was careful with his words. “Are you really going to save my son? We are poor peasants, and we can’t pay you…”
“I know. You don’t have to worry about it,” Zhao Chuchu said. “Sit. If you wish for your son’s face to be ruined, then you can ignore .”
The man heard that and quickly turned to his son. “This young lady is a nice person. She’ll treat you, and we can go find your sister.”
The boy then let go of his father and slowly moved toward the stool. He was extrely tense because he was still scared.
Zhao Chuchu looked at the boy and gently smiled. “It’s going to hurt a little. Can you endure it?”
Perhaps the kid had not seen such a beautiful lady and never had soone talk so softly to him, but he was able to ease up imdiately. “I’m not scared!”
“Good. Just do what I say, and there won’t be a scar on your face, okay?”
“Really?”
The father was a little excited.
“Yes. She’s a skilled doctor. If she said so, then it’s definitely doable,” Yuan Hui said.
“Th-thank you…” The man’s eyes were filled with tears now, and he couldn’t even make a complete sentence.
“Alright. Don’t interrupt .” Zhao Chuchu was still not used to handling such a situation.
The man imdiately shut up and even held his breath, worrying that he would annoy Zhao Chuchu.
The owner had sent soone to bring hot water and towels to the room.
Zhao Chuchu first cleaned the wound on the boy’s face before slowly moving away the hairs stuck to the wound.
The boy was in so much pain that he was sweating, and his face turned white. However, he bit hard on his lip so that he would not make a voice.
Zhao Chuchu noticed that and folded a clean towel. “Open your mouth. Bite on this. I don’t want you to hurt your own lip.”
Tears started to roll down the boy’s face.
Ever since his face was injured, other than his father, everyone had laughed at him. No one had treated him with such kindness before.
“What’s wrong? Does it hurt?” Zhao Chuchu asked.
“You’re very nice…” the boy said.
Zhao Chuchu patted the boy’s head. ‘I have a brother who’s around your age. There’s no way I can see a boy like you suffering. Co on. Stop crying. The tears will make your wound hurt even more.”
“Okay! I won’t cry!” The boy tried to wipe his tears away.
Zhao Chuchu quickly stopped him and wiped the tears for him with a towel instead. “Be brave.”
...
“Okay!”
The boy nodded hard as if he was worried that Zhao Chuchu would not see it.
The father shed a tear at the side too.
Since debrident was needed for the wound, Zhao Chuchu had to ask the rest to leave the room.
“I don’t like people watching while I work. Take the dicine I asked the owner to help purchase,” she told the father.
“?” The man pointed at himself.
“Yes. Those are for you.”
“Thank you…”
“Don’t worry about it.”
The man did not hesitate anymore.
If Zhao Chuchu were not a quack, it wouldn’t have made sense for her to save them without any reason. They had no money.
...
It was clear that she was saving them out of her kindness.
Noticing that the boy was in a lot of pain, she decided to give him anesthesia. She then took a few pieces of dical equipnt out of her carry-on space and perford the debrident. After that, she started to heal the wound with her power before wrapping it up.
The whole process took her an hour to complete.
Once she was done, the little boy woke up from the anesthesia.
“Does it still hurt?” Zhao Chuchu asked with a smile.
The little boy looked at the lady’s shining eyes and thought they were brighter than the stars.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore! Thank you!”
“Good boy. Can you tell your na?”
“My na is Huan’er, and my sister’s na is Xi’er! It’s been a long ti since I last saw my sister…”
“Do you miss her?”
“Yes…”
“Don’t worry. You’ll find your sister!”
“Really? I believe you! Will my face heal now? Will I stop being ugly?”
“Yes. It will heal.”
“Yay! I-I don’t know how I can repay you… I don’t mind being your pet…”
“You stupid child. I can buy my own pet. You just have to grow up healthily and beco a useful man. When you finally succeed, don’t forget about , okay?”
In terms of helping a person so that she could benefit from them, Zhao Chuchu would not even let a child go.
