Qin Si Ye thought for a moment and replied, "About an hour."
"The wound has been treated well. It seems Mr. Qin is quite experienced," the male doctor said, glancing at him before continuing, "In a little while, I'll arrange for a nurse to clean it professionally for her again. Also, she'll need a few injections."
"Alright. Doctor Du, administer all the necessary injections," Qin Si Ye replied clearly.
After the doctor left the room, Qin Si Ye looked at the woman on the bed, puzzled. "Shen Xi, why have you been facing inwards and not saying a word?"
Shen Xi slowly turned around. "You've said it all, what else can I say?"
"You're not afraid of needles, are you?" Qin Si Ye raised an eyebrow at her. She glanced at him, saying, "Of course not. You're overthinking it. I'm a doctor myself, what's there to be afraid of?"
The reason she hadn't turned her face or spoken was out of fear of encountering the doctor. She worried he might mistake her relationship with Qin Si Ye as something more intimate, leading to gossip that could spread to Ankang Hospital and cause a huge stir. With ten mouths, she would still struggle to explain the truth.
At this moment, a nurse entered, cleaned her wound again, and bandaged it with sterile gauze. She also administered the tetanus and rabies vaccines. While getting the injections, Shen Xi kept signaling Qin Si Ye to go outside. However, he paid no mind, as if he couldn't understand her subtle hints.
"Can you step out for a moment?" Just as Shen Xi was about to say this angrily, Qin Si Ye unhurriedly turned his back. The nurse, unaware of their relationship, found their interaction amusing.
"Don't move. It'll be done soon," she said with a smile, casting a meaningful glance at Shen Xi.
After administering the vaccines, the nurse turned to Qin Si Ye and said, "Sir, the rabies vaccine we gave this lady is a five-dose course. She needs to come back for subsequent injections on days 3, 7, 14, and 28."
"Alright. Thank you!" Qin Si Ye immediately took out his phone and noted down the dates.
"You're welcome." The nurse, finding Qin Si Ye not only handsome but also having a pleasant voice, blushed and quickly lowered her head. "Also, she needs to be observed here for another two hours. If there are no abnormal symptoms, she can leave."
Shen Xi frowned as she watched the nurse leave. She wondered what was wrong with young girls these days, becoming so shy when seeing a tall and handsome man. She couldn't help but look up at Qin Si Ye. She had to admit, the man in front of her was indeed very good-looking. He was probably the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. Even in Country B, she hadn't encountered a man more attractive than him.
Qin Si Ye had been looking down at his phone and didn't notice the woman on the bed staring intently at him.
"It's past eleven now, and she still needs to be observed for two hours. You rest for a while, I'll go out and get some food," Qin Si Ye said, putting his phone in his pocket. He looked up at her, meeting her adoring gaze.
Shen Xi's eyes darted away unnaturally, and she said softly, "Ah? No need, I'm not hungry yet."
Qin Si Ye strode forward, helping her to lie down. His voice was incredibly gentle. "You arrived at the Qin family so early, you must have eaten early too. How could you not be hungry? Be a good girl, get some sleep. I'll be back soon."
Hearing this, Shen Xi felt a jolt of electricity strike her heart, then flow through her limbs, making her entire body numb. What did he mean by that? Did he think of her as a child?
After Qin Si Ye left the room, he immediately called Butler Wu, informing him that he had something to attend to and wouldn't be back for lunch, asking him to take good care of the children. After hanging up, whether it was the effect of the medication or simply exhaustion, she drifted off to sleep on the hospital bed.
Twenty minutes later, Qin Si Ye walked in with the food. Seeing Shen Xi sleeping soundly, he didn't disturb her. Instead, he quietly walked to the sofa and sat down. As soon as he placed the food down, he received a WeChat message from Chen Chen.
"Uncle Qin, are you with Mommy? What happened to her?"
