Chapter 582: Wait a little longer before giving up (22)
Ruby Gregory couldn’t understand why Steve Burton was laughing so strangely. Was he in pain? Despite his miserable appearance, he could still laugh!
The wound was quite severe. After disinfecting it, the doctor started stitching Steve’s wound.
Before stitching, the doctor injected him with anesthesia so Steve didn’t feel any pain, except for a little discomfort during the disinfection.
However, Ruby, who was standing by his side, watched anxiously.
It was a long wound. The doctor had to stitch it with 20 sutures.
After the stitching, the doctor applied ointnt to the wound, then wrapped it with a new bandage. The doctor returned to his desk, made a note in the dical record, clicked a few tis on the computer, and prescribed several dications. Then he explained to Ruby how to use them.
Ruby paid the fees, picked up the dications, and when she returned, Steve was still sitting on the bed, maintaining his posture during the stitching.
Ruby called out Steve’s na. Seeing no response, Ruby walked over and patted his shoulder three tis forcefully: “Let’s go.”
Steve imdiately stood up and walked toward the door.
Ruby followed, and patted his shoulder several more tis before stopping. She pointed at his rolled-up pants and said, “Your pants!”
Steve hurriedly nodded, bent down, and pulled down his pants.
With the dications in hand, Ruby walked out of the hospital ward. Steve followed without any hesitation.
As they left the ergency building, cold wind hit their faces. Steve sobered up a bit, and slowly digested everything that had just happened inside.
He looked at Ruby with a faint, fragnted glow in his eyes.
Ruby stood in front of Steve’s car, not getting in. Instead, she asked, “Are you going to The Sapphire Bistro later?”
Before Steve could respond, Ruby tilted her head, examined the prescriptions one by one, and then handed them to Steve, explaining, “This is an oral anti-inflammatory dication that can reduce swelling. Take it three tis a day. Due to the severity of your wound, take four pills with each al. After a week, when the swelling subsides, take two pills with each al.”
“And this one, another anti-inflammatory dicine, should be taken twice a day, two pills each ti until finished.”
“This last one is for external use. The doctor said he’s bandaged it well, so you don’t need to touch it or take a bath now. Co back in three days for a new bandage, and in seven days to have your stitches removed. When you no longer need to bandage the wound, apply this ointnt.”
Beyond the New Year’s Eve, the entire city seed quieter, with occasional fireworks in the sky.
Ruby’s gentle voice reached Steve’s ears.
Steve hadn’t looked at the dications in her hand. His eyes were always on her face.
“Also, the doctor said you mustn’t eat spicy food or drink alcohol these days. During the New Year, there may be visits to relatives, where alcohol is inevitable. Still, you better give it a break to avoid making your condition worse,” Ruby warned.
Ruby relayed everything the doctor had told her. After telling Steve, she put the dications in a bag, looked up at Steve, and their eyes t.
