Bab 47: Back to the Way He Was
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Mu Bai walked into the ward and saw what happened, he stepped forward and pulled the two women apart. He pulled Su Qianxun towards himself and pushed the young nurse away.
"Qianxun, calm down first!" Mu Bai grabbed Su Qianxun's arm with force.
"How do you expect me to calm down? She was bullying Jiye! She..." When Su Qianxun thought about what her younger brother just went through, tears trickled non-stop down her cheeks.
"Regardless of what she had done, we'll report it to the police and let them deal with this matter." Mu Bai fixed his determined gaze on Su Qianxun.
The young nurse was frightened when she heard that the incident would be reported to the police. However, she still refused to admit to her wrongdoing. "This is my first time applying the ointment on him, and I didn't do anything to him. So, why would I be scared of the police?"
After the young nurse said that, she fled with no regard for anything.
Su Qianxun wanted to chase after the young nurse, but Mu Bai stopped her. "Qianxun, leave this matter to me. I definitely won't let her get away with this. It is more important to check on Jiye's condition right now."
Even though Su Qianxun was indignant, she had no choice but to check on her younger brother first. Su Jiye was shirtless, and there were still a lot of wounds, which were inflicted on him in the police station, on his body.
As Su Qianxun gazed at him, teardrops trickled down her face like unstrung pearls. She walked towards him and reached out her hand to touch him. But Su Jiye recoiled, shivering like a frightened fawn.
"Jiye, it's me, your sis." Su Qianxun touched his cheek gently.
Su Jiye still did not dare to raise his head. When Su Qianxun saw that he was back to the way he was before, there was an immense ache in her heart.
"The unfortunate experience Jiye went through during the few days of his incarceration took a huge toll on his condition. Before that, he was already showing signs of improvement. Now he is back to how he used to be," Mu Bai said regretfully.
Su Qianxun picked up the shirt beside her and helped her younger brother get dressed. She said, "Doctor Mu, the nurse just now..."
"Don't worry. I will definitely not let something like that happen again. It was partly due to my negligence, as that nurse is not even from our department. I'll get to the bottom of this matter and make sure that justice is served." Mu Bai stared at her with a determined expression.
"Thank you, Doctor Mu. If it weren't for you treating Jiye for the past two years, I don't know what would have happened to him."
Su Qianxun was genuinely grateful towards Mu Bai. He had helped the siblings a lot for the past two years.
"Silly girl, don't mention it. I'm a doctor, and this is my responsibility." There was a hint of tenderness in the depths of Mu Bai's eyes as he gazed at Su Qianxun.
Su Qianxun suddenly remembered that Ye Gu was waiting for her downstairs. She was already very grateful towards him for letting her see her younger brother, and she did not want to make things difficult for him.
However, when she looked at her younger brother's current state, she was truly reluctant to leave.
Su Qianxun sat down on the bed and held her younger brother's face in her hands, trying to make him raise his head to look at her. However, Su Jiye refused to look into her sister's eyes.
"Jiye, listen to me. I can't stay here to accompany you because I have another matter to attend to. Be obedient and listen to Doctor Mu. I will come to bring you home very soon, okay?" Su Qianxun almost burst into tears again. She was devastated by the fact that she could not stay behind to take care of her younger brother.
Su Jiye said nothing and merely tightened his arms around himself. It was a subconscious gesture of self-defence.
Su Qianxun hugged him and rose resolutely. She then looked at Mu Bai. "Doctor Mu, I'm begging you. Please don't let anyone… bully my younger brother again."
When Mu Bai saw how teary-eyed she was, he, too, blamed himself for what happened to Jiye. "Don't worry. From now onwards, I'll make sure that I'm the only one who have access to this ward. I won't let anyone have the chance to go near Jiye anymore."
"Thank you, Doctor Mu. I have an urgent matter to attend to today, so I'll be taking my leave first." Su Qianxun did not have the courage to turn to look at her younger brother because she was afraid that she would not be able to bring herself to leave.
No one noticed that Su Jiye, who was curling up in the bed, was tearing up...
