Chu Li gently placed Bei Yutang on the bed and covered her with the blanket.
“Wait for me.” Before leaving, Chu Li gently kissed her forehead.
When Chu Li returned, he brought a bowl of brown sugar water and some heat packs. He used the heat packs to relieve her abdominal cramps. After drinking the brown sugar water, Chu Li sat beside her.
Bei Yutang leaned her head slightly on his shoulder.
“How did you know I was here?”
“I saw you ride your bike past the restaurant. When I chased after you, you were gone.”
Chu Li described the situation casually, unaware that those who witnessed it were shocked by his actions.
“Idiot, you had the entire island sealed off.”
Bei Yutang felt immense pressure at the thought that they had made such a big fuss just to find her.
Actually, given his wisdom, knowing she was on the island, finding her would be easy.
Even if she left, it would be easy to trace her location through the island’s entry and exit points; it was all just a matter of time.
Chu Li toyed with her jet-black hair in his hand.
“I can’t wait. I want to see you.”
“Mmm.” Bei Yutang murmured softly.
Chu Li noticed that her face was still frighteningly pale, and his brows furrowed slightly.
“I’ll go buy you some painkillers.”
Bei Yutang waved her hand: “No need. Those things are bad for your health.”
“Is there really no way to cure this?” Chu Li’s brows furrowed, as if he were the one in pain.
“There’s no way. Everyone’s constitution is different. It still requires long-term care and conditioning to alleviate the pain.”
As a doctor specializing in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, she naturally understands this.
Western painkillers only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. They only relieve the pain, but all medicines have side effects. (T/N: That’s true!)
She could bear this pain.
Bei Yutang could endure it, but it was a real hardship for someone else; his usually stern face was contorted in pain.
When Bei’s parents returned and saw Yutang, they found the young couple leaning against the headboard, one resting with her eyes closed, the other staring intently at the other.
Bei’s mother, seeing this, tactfully withdrew.
As a woman, she could see most clearly whether the man’s feelings for her daughter were genuine.
Bei’s father was about to speak when Bei’s mother stopped him.
After going downstairs, Bei’s mother whispered, “Don’t go up and disturb them.”
Bei Lizong frowned: “So, you’re letting that boy be with our daughter?”
Bei’s father expressed his deep concern.
“What if…what if that brat gets any bad ideas? Wouldn’t that…”
Bei’s mother couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him again: “Even if he wanted to, he doesn’t have the means.”
Uh…
Bei Lizong was dumbfounded.
Bei Lizong took a long time to recover from his shock, muttering unwillingly, “Wife, are you really that comfortable with that brat being with our daughter?”
Bei’s mother turned her head, looking at him seriously. Her solemn expression made Bei Lizong somewhat uneasy, silently reflecting on whether he had said something he shouldn’t have.
Bei’s mother said earnestly, “Honey, I’m very happy to see them like this.”
Bei Lizong looked at her questioningly.
Bei’s mother wasn’t angry at his expression. Women consider and think about things more deeply than men, and they see things more clearly. Bei’s father didn’t understand, but Bei’s mother did.
“I’ve always worried that because of that incident, Tangtang will avoid men altogether. While we’re alive, we can take care of her, but what about after we’re gone?”
