"Ah!"
Just as she was about to cling to him, Er Zhu suddenly flicked a silver needle, and with a wail, the woman finally released him.
*Hoo...*
Er Zhu let out a long sigh and quickly composed himself. The woman, however, had fainted again.
*Splash, splash...*
Due to the woman's earlier wail, the wound on her upper body tore open, and blood gushed out uncontrollably!
In an instant, the ground and the sheets were covered in blood!
Er Zhu steadied himself, channeled his energy to his dan tian, and slowly massaged the injured wound, a thread of spiritual energy continuously flowing into the woman's body.
"You... you really have to massage it like this?"
Just then, Li Mei's voice came from the doorway. Er Zhu turned his head and saw Li Mei peeking in, looking at him with a mixture of anger and jealousy.
Li Mei had intended to leave, but hearing the woman's scream, she decided to come back to help. Little did she expect to see this! m..oΓg
Er Zhu's hand was barely moving to touch the woman's chest!
This method of treatment was very difficult for her to accept!
"Come in."
Er Zhu didn't answer, but said something that seemed completely unrelated. Li Mei, however, smiled and nodded, quickly rushing in.
Er Zhu understood her!
He knew she was jealous, and that's why he let her in!
"Then I'll hold your hand, and you can massage her, is that okay?"
Before Li Mei could even stand steady, Er Zhu pulled her into his arms, placed Li Mei's hand on the foreign woman's chest, and then put his own hand on top of Li Mei's.
His large, firm palm enveloped Li Mei's soft, boneless hand. Li Mei felt a wave of heat wash over her!
But seeing the woman covered in blood, she could only suppress her inner turmoil and slowly massage her.
"Hmm? It feels warm!"
After only a few minutes of massage, Li Mei suddenly felt a warmth emanating from Er Zhu's palm and looked up in confusion.
"Friction causes heat, is this your first time knowing that?"
Er Zhu smiled indulgently and continued to hold Li Mei's hand, massaging gently.
Of course, this warmth was not from friction, but from his spiritual energy!
But this was something he couldn't explain to Li Mei, nor did he want to, so he simply made up an excuse.
"Oh, right." Li Mei blinked. Although she still had doubts, she didn't think too much about it and continued to massage the woman.
Under the dim lamplight, Er Zhu held Li Mei tightly. Their hands continuously massaged the patient, and as the temperature rose, their hearts pounded faster and faster!
"Um... maybe I should just do it myself."
Just as he was about to lose control, Er Zhu pushed Li Mei away. A blush spread across his face as he continued to massage the woman alone.
He had let Li Mei help only because he was afraid she would be jealous, but now, while she wasn't jealous, he was in agony!
He wondered if he should consider only taking male patients in the future.
Er Zhu took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind, and drifted into his thoughts.
On the other side, Li Mei, having lost her embrace, stared blankly at Er Zhu. She wanted to get angry, but then, as if remembering something, she covered her mouth and started to laugh.
"Er Zhu, I'll wait for you in bed!"
As Er Zhu was about to ask, Li Mei suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered.
Er Zhu's face turned even redder, and the strength of his hands became erratic.
Er Zhu didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. Li Mei shyly ran out.
"Sir, you two are so affectionate..."
As soon as Li Mei left, Er Zhu heard a weak voice. He looked down and realized the foreign woman had woken up at some point.
"Of course, she's my fiancée!"
Er Zhu continued to massage, a slight smile on his lips, his eyes filled with tenderness.
He never hesitated to show affection in front of outsiders, especially those who showed interest in him!
And this foreign woman was one of them!
A flicker of light flashed in Er Zhu's eyes. Through the woman's heart, he saw the scene before she had sought his help.
It turned out that the woman had been far away, and it was impossible for them to meet. Yet, she had endured the intense pain and run to him.
He had initially thought it was a simple act of bravery, but now it seemed things were not so simple!
"My name is Malinsana, the young lady of the Malin family from the country of Ur. Those who injured me were my family's bodyguards. Thank you for saving me!"
Seeing Er Zhu about to speak, Malinsana quickly blurted everything out.
Of course, she didn't mention that she had deliberately sought out Er Zhu for help.
Malinsana?
Hearing the name, Er Zhu suddenly remembered what Malinte had told him.
No wonder this woman had specifically sought him out; she was Malinte's daughter.
"Miss Malin, please leave voluntarily after you have recovered."
"No, call me Sana! I've heard everything about you. I came to China secretly, against my father's wishes, just to find you!"
Er Zhu dropped this sentence and turned to leave, but before he could, he heard Malinsana's heartfelt confession.
"My father forbids me from marrying you, saying all Chinese are lowly. But I think you are very capable, and you are the one I have been waiting for!"
Seeing Er Zhu not leave, Malinsana assumed he had agreed to her confession and continued.
But Er Zhu left without even looking back.
Watching Er Zhu's receding back, a flicker of despair and anger crossed Malinsana's eyes, her hand tightly gripping the bedsheet.
For over twenty years, no one had dared to reject her like this!
Wang Er Zhu would be hers!
Malinsana had hoped to spend more time with Er Zhu through this opportunity, but since that day, Er Zhu had never returned!
Yet, her injuries were almost healed.
Looking at the wound that had already begun to grow new flesh, Malinsana gritted her teeth. With a tearing sound, she ripped open the healing wound!
Blood surged out like a dam breaking, and the immense pain crashed over her like waves!
Her rosy complexion instantly turned pale, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead!
This way, he should come and see me in person, right!
Malinsana thought to herself, looking at the blood.
"Sir, something terrible has happened! Miss Malin's wound has reopened!"
Just as Malinsana was about to cry for help, the servant who had come to bring food saw the scene and, carrying the food, rushed downstairs shouting.
"Mr. Wang, I'm in so much pain, please come and save me!"
Seeing the servant's urgency, Malinsana also cried out loudly.
"How could it have torn open? Wasn't it almost healed?"
Downstairs, Li Mei, hearing the cries, frowned deeply and looked at Er Zhu with confusion.
She had been counting the days, eagerly anticipating the foreign woman's departure, and never expected such an accident to happen!
