Raising her hand she called for him and patted the s.p.a.ce beside her on the bed. "Come…."
Ignoring the presence of everyone, Feng Jianyu climbed on the bed and sat down beside her. Holding her hand tightly he kissed it multiple times. "Love… Is it still stinging? I"m sorry I used that medicine on you"
She laughed between her tears and placed his hands against her cheeks, "How many times will you say sorry to me? I"m bored now… Go find a cheesy line for me" She tried to lighten the atmosphere with her ever glowing charming smile, but it hurts everyone more.
"Silly… Trying to hide your pain behind your smile, huh?" With one hand caressing over her forehead, he gently wipes the tears with his other hand, careful enough not to go anywhere near her eyes.
"No, it doesn"t hurt anymore. I"m fine now! Right doctor?"
Dr. Choy was in a daze looking at the ruthless king of the business world, who was behaving so gently towards the lady. This was the first time he came to know that Feng Jianyu had a soft side too, and probably it will only show up in front of this lady. He smiled thinking about Feng Dingxiong, "Now he doesn"t have to worry about his eldest son"s s.e.xuality! He is finally interested in a very pretty girl and most probably our future Mrs. Feng Jianyu…"
"Doctor? Are you there?" Xiu Mei called and Dr. Choy snapped out from his thoughts, "Yes… Yes, you"re fine now. Just protect your eyes from dust and avoid using electronic gadgets for 3-4 days"
"Don"t worry uncle Choy, I"ll make sure of that" Before Xiu Mei could say anything Jianyu replied.
"But what caused her this severe reaction? I don"t want this incident to happen again! Not even by mistake"
Dr. Choy took a deep breath and sat down on the bed beside Xiu Mei, he changed the cotton pad with fresh solution and answered, "Her eyes are more sensitive than of us here. The medicine you used earlier is mildly strong if compared to the medicine I prescribe to my other transplant patients."
Feng Junjie gasped, "Uncle Choy, did you call it mildly strong? Then what will be the higher variant? I saw Sister Mei Mei crying in pain" Shedding his usual playful att.i.tude, Junjie was standing in the corner like a puppy, almost on the verge of crying. He hates it most when any of his family members suffer from something, and unknowingly he had already started considering Xiu Mei as family.
"Trust me…You don"t want to know what a higher dose can do! She is lucky this time" Dr. Choy"s answer sends chill runs down everyone spine. Feng Jianyu"s grip tightened on her hands unconsciously, thinking about the outcome he wanted to punish himself for his stupidity.
Xiu Mei softly rubbed Jianyu"s back of the hand to comfort him.
"Feng Jianyu, if you could show me her old medical files and the name of the doctor who performed the surgery, it will be of great help. After consulting with her doctor I can provide you with better insights of her case and prescribe the new medicine if required"
Xiu Mei"s heart skips a beat hearing this. "No!! If just an eye injury can make him feel this bad, what will he do after knowing about my complete case? He"ll be traumatized…. I can"t bear to see him like that and blame himself whenever he sees me."
"Mei, where is your….."
"They are lost!! I don"t have any medical files"
Feng Jianyu frowned hearing this. Looking at her cold reaction he understood she is again hiding something from him.
"No problem. Every hospital keeps a copy of the record of their patients; tell me the name of the hospital where you were treated" He asked calmly.
Xiu Mei thanked G.o.d that because of her bandaged eyes she can"t look into Jianyu"s eyes. Otherwise, he might have read everything through her eyes.
"I-I forgot" She was worried that he will find out everything through those files. She is going to tell him everything about that night, but will never reveal the details of the torture she had received. Never ever…
Feng Jianyu sighed and leaned down to her face so that only she can hear him. He whispered, "I know you"re hiding this information for my sake, but this is hurting me more. Don"t underestimate me, love." Xiu Mei was speechless. All she could do was hold her silence and turn her face away.
"Uncle Choy, please prepare a new prescription for her eyes. If you want to do any tests I"m for it, but can"t help you with her old medical files, AS OF NOW…." His last three words showed the determination that he is not going to give up.
"Alright!"
Dr. Choy patched up her eyes and gave an injection that will help her to sleep comfortably. After making sure that she is fine, he was about to leave when Jianyu stopped him, "Uncle Choy, I want to have a word with you"
After tucking her securely in the comforter and adjusting the temperature of the room, Jianyu instructed Feng Junjie to guard her until he returns. He was about to leave but turned back to look at her sleeping face, bending down he pressed a kiss on her forehead and hesitatingly pulled away. "I"ll be back in short while love" he whispered.
They settled down in the lounge outside her bedroom.
"Uncle Choy is there….."
"Feng Jianyu, I know what you want to know. If this incident has caused any complication in her perfectly transplanted eyes. Right?" Before Jianyu can ask anything Dr. Choy read through his worried face and Jianyu nodded. His sloppy body language spoke a thousand words for the pain he was equally suffering because of this incident.
"Well, the answer is no… There won"t be any complications." Hearing this Jianyu heaved a sigh of relief as he buried his face in his palms.
