Chapter 334: I Am Willing to Suffer Any Hardship for You

The hospital.

After the doctor unwrapped the gauze from his chest layer by layer, he pointed at the ulcerated wound and said, "Look, you wouldn't listen when I told you not to be discharged, and now the wound has ulcerated; you must be hospitalized immediately."

Sheng Hanyu placed his index finger to his lips, signaling the doctor to keep his voice down, especially so that Shi Youxuan at the door wouldn't hear.

He felt fortunate that his insistence on not letting her come in earlier had been the right choice!

Sheng Hanyu lowered his voice: "Doctor, I cannot be hospitalized. I have an extremely important matter tomorrow that I must attend to."

"But your wound has ulcerated; it won't heal easily if you aren't hospitalized."

He keenly caught the loophole in the doctor's words: "Not easy to heal means it can still heal, so there is a remedial method, right?"

"Yes."

The doctor nodded, then shook his head again: "I advise you to stay for conservative treatment. That method is effective, but it is just too agonizing."

"It doesn't matter, I can endure it."

"Really?"

"Really."

The doctor told Sheng Hanyu that the fastest and most effective method was: use a scalpel to cut away the infected area, then use seventy-five percent alcohol to disinfect and sterilize it, and finally rinse the wound with saline.

This was the most effective method; during the War of Resistance, in an era of scarce medicine and supplies, military doctors used this method to treat the wounded.

The method was effective, but it was just too agonizing!

Because the wound was too close to the heart, anesthesia could not be used.

Sheng Hanyu insisted that he could endure it and told the doctor to do it this way, right now, immediately!

"Fine, then brace yourself."

The doctor took a roll of gauze and handed it to him, telling him to bite down on it when the pain became unbearable.

"Hiss—"

When the blade cut into the rotting flesh, he could still endure it, but when the alcohol was poured onto the wound—a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out all over his body!

One layer hadn't even dried before another appeared.

Sheng Hanyu was thinking: back when he was torturing himself, why didn't he think of this trick?

This stinging sensation.

It was a thousand times more painful than being slashed by a knife.

The doctor stopped, used a wet wipe to help him wipe the sweat from his head, and then wiped the sweat from his own forehead!

Just watching it was painful; how was he enduring it?

"Why don't you just stay for hospitalization? Conservative treatment has the same effect and isn't as agonizing..."

"Continue!"

Two words escaped Sheng Hanyu's throat, and another layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead that had just been wiped.

"Fine, brace yourself."

The doctor used an alcohol swab to carefully clean the area that had just been cut, moving as lightly as possible so he wouldn't be in so much pain.

But Sheng Hanyu felt it was too slow.

Shi Youxuan was waiting outside, and her patience wasn't very good.

She might push the door open at any moment; he couldn't let her see what he looked like now, absolutely not!

Sheng Hanyu knew that if Shi Youxuan saw his wound was infected, tomorrow's trip to Disney would definitely be canceled.

It couldn't be canceled, absolutely not.

Disney was the place where he and Shi Youxuan had first fallen in love; this time, it wasn't just about taking the children to play, Sheng Hanyu had a grand plan, and he absolutely could not give up halfway.

"I'll do it."

He gritted his teeth and grabbed the alcohol bottle to pour it onto the wound himself!

"Ah!"

"Hiss—"

The intense pain almost made him pass out on the spot.

After re-bandaging, Sheng Hanyu walked out of the Medical Room as if nothing had happened.

Shi Youxuan was sitting on a bench outside playing on her phone; seeing him come out, she went up to him: "How is the wound recovering?"

"Recovering very well. The doctor said my skin heals well, and it probably won't even leave a scar."

Shi Youxuan curled her lip: "Do you think you're a gecko? That you can grow back your tail if it breaks? And it won't even leave a scar? Who are you trying to fool? Such a deep wound won't leave a scar? How did all those scars on your body come to be?"

"Hehe." Sheng Hanyu didn't argue when exposed, just smiled.

The two got into the car, and just as Shi Youxuan fastened her seatbelt, she unfastened it again.

She slapped her own forehead: "Look at my memory, I sat outside for so long and actually forgot; I have to go ask when Ranran's next blood wash is." After saying this, she got out of the car: "Wait for me a moment, I'll be back soon."

"Can't you just make a phone call to ask?" He was a little worried.

"If I were at home, I would have called, but since I'm already at the hospital, why make a phone call?"

After Shi Youxuan finished speaking, she went back.

But she didn't go to the hematology department; instead, she returned to the surgery department.

Shi Youxuan wasn't stupid; although Sheng Hanyu had pretended to be nonchalant when he came out of the dressing room, his complexion couldn't be faked—it was extremely pale.

His lips were white, just like the servants who made mistakes and were punished by Zhu Yiwen, after they were locked in the basement to suffer!

Could changing a dressing cause the same reaction as being tortured?

She pushed open the door to the doctor's office: "Doctor, was the wound of that Mr. Sheng from earlier serious?"

The doctor didn't answer directly, but instead asked: "May I ask who you are?"

"I am his family, you must tell me the truth, otherwise if anything happens to him, you will not be able to bear the responsibility."

Coming out of the doctor's office, Shi Youxuan did not leave immediately.

Instead, she went to the deserted stairwell to have a good cry, then touched up her makeup, and then returned, pretending that she knew nothing at all!

Although she appeared indifferent on the surface, the doctor's words kept echoing in her ears: "Mr. Sheng's wound is infected, and according to regulations, an infection of this degree must be treated in the hospital."

"But he refused to be hospitalized no matter what, and asked me to use the fastest, but also the most painful method to help him cut away the flesh and treat the wound..."

When Shi Youxuan returned to the car, Sheng Hanyu was already asleep.

He was truly too tired, and too exhausted.

She did not wake him, but drove straight home; he woke up the moment she parked.

"Are we home?" He pushed the door open to get out and went straight upstairs, acting as natural as could be.

After arriving home, Jian Yixin had already prepared the food, and even the refrigerator was stuffed full.

Inside were all the things that Shi Youxuan and Shi Ran liked to eat; the little one loved to chat, and through Shi Ran, Jian Yixin had learned seven or eight out of ten things about what Shi Youxuan liked to eat and drink.

Seeing the two of them return together, Sheng Zerong and Jian Yixin immediately took their leave.

The excuse was ready-made—the wedding was fast approaching, and there were too many things to do!

"Goodbye, Uncle!"

"Goodbye, Aunt!"

The little girl stood at the doorway, waving goodbye to the two of them very politely.

"Goodbye, sweetheart, you must be a good girl." Jian Yixin kissed the little girl on the forehead, then left reluctantly.

Shi Youxuan had guessed right; she really was thinking about Shi Ran again, as Jian Yixin liked this quirky little girl very much.

She had even discussed with Sheng Zerong that after they returned from their honeymoon, they would formally adopt Shi Ran as their goddaughter and have her move into their home to live permanently.

Formally adopting a goddaughter was different from the casual way of calling someone a godfather like Jian Yining; according to the customs in Jiangzhou, a formal adoption required hosting a banquet to let everyone bear witness.

Once adopted, she would have to go to her godmother's house to live for a period of time every year, though of course, she could also live there all the time.

It was almost the same meaning as adoption, just without the need to change her surname!

Sheng Zerong had no objections, but he believed that Shi Youxuan would not agree.

Jian Yixin was full of confidence: "You don't need to worry about this matter; I have my own ways when the time comes, and whether she agrees or not isn't something she can decide alone!"

Shi Youxuan did not know Jian Yixin's thoughts; all her attention was currently focused on Sheng Hanyu.

"I'll get you some rice."

Sheng Hanyu was just about to go get some rice, but the bowl was taken from his hand by Shi Youxuan.

She was taking the initiative to serve him rice?

Did the sun rise from the west today?
