1753 Too many implications
....
“Didn’t he say when he would wake up?” Cheng huaijin asked again.
“No, I didn’t,” The maidservant shook her head.
At this moment, Gu Xin’s other maid came in with the medicine.
Cheng huaijin retreated to the side and watched them feed the medicine.
It wasn’t easy to feed medicine to an unconscious person. Furthermore, Gu yingxue didn’t seem to have any will to live. One spoonful of medicine would leak out more than half a spoonful. Even if she didn’t sweat at night, he would probably have to change her clothes every day.
There were two bowls on the tray, and they were full.
Seeing the medicine stains all over Gu yingxue’s neck, Cheng huaijin asked the maidservant to go to the side. He sat at the head of the bed, looking like he was going to feed her personally.
“Prince, lady Xue ‘er’s back is injured. Don’t touch her.” The maidservant quickly stopped him.
Cheng huaijin’s movements paused. That’s right, this girl had blocked a knife for him and just happened to hurt her back.
“I won’t touch her back. I’ll hold her head and open her mouth. This way, less will flow out.” Cheng huaijin said.
After he finished speaking, he sat down a little more and carefully lifted Gu yingxue’s head with both hands. He held her with one hand and moved his body a little to the side to let the maid feed her medicine.
The maidservant tried to feed him a spoonful, and sure enough, there was much less flowing out than when he was lying flat.
During this time, Gu yingxue shouted again. She even waved her hand and pushed the spoon away. Cheng huaijin used his other hand to grab her hand.
Very quickly, the medicine was finished, and Cheng huaijin laid Gu yingxue flat on the ground.
When she was about to get up, she couldn’t pull her hand back.
The two maids acted as if they didn’t see anything and silently retreated.
Cheng huaijin frowned and looked at Gu yingxue.
He didn’t increase or decrease the strength of his hand. He just held on tightly.
Using his other hand, Cheng huaijin pried Gu yingxue’s hand away finger by finger. Then, he wanted to place Gu yingxue’s hand under the blanket.
Ever since the incident at home, he had never been gentle. This was the first time he was so careful, and his forehead was sweating.
“Sister!” Just as he was about to get up, the person on the bed moved again before he could even breathe a sigh of relief. She reached out her hand as if she was looking for something.
Even Cheng huaijin felt that this girl was pretending. Was there such a coincidence?
He quietly looked at the pair of withered hands waving and the person on the bed frowning. He then remembered that she was injured because of him.
He reached out and grabbed Gu yingxue’s hand.
Although Gu yingxue was still calling her sister, she didn’t move.
After a while, Gu yingxue calmed down. Her brows relaxed and her breathing became even, as if she had fallen asleep.
Cheng huaijin tried to pull his hand away, but it didn’t work. He still had to bend it, so he let him hold it.
He couldn’t help but wonder how he would feel if Gu yingxue had taken a knife for him and died that night.
Was it really a life for a life?
Her sister was too involved with the Gu family.
He and Xiao Yu were twin siblings, and he knew his sister very well since she was young. Even though they were separated for a few years, he knew what his sister was thinking after knowing her life during those years.
Because she was afraid that her foster father and foster mother would no longer love her, and because she was anxious to find her brother, she had unintentionally harmed the child in her foster mother’s stomach when she was willful.
She must be blaming herself. After going through so much, meeting her adopted sister again, she probably wanted to return her to her foster parents safely!
And her sister blamed herself and was going to die for him.
