章節 95: Heal
When Fu Shao was satisfied with his job, he chucked away the needle.
"We need to cover it," I said.
I rummaged in the kit for bandages, but he shook his head.
"It'll heal faster if it's allowed to breathe."
"Really? Are you sure? What if dirt gets in?"
He chuckled.
"You don't need to worry. This won't be the last time I'll come home injured."
Was I worried? Yes. And I didn't like the thought of him taking his health so lightly.
He opened his arms.
"Come here."
"Don't you have to leave?" I glanced at the clock.
It was only 8 in the morning, but on most days he had been gone by then.
"Not today. The Mogo is dealt with for the moment. I'll have to be in one of the Fu office in the afternoon."
I smiled slightly but I couldn't help it as I was glad I didn't have to be alone all day again.
I snuggled against his side and he wrapped his arm around me.
"I didn't expect you to look so happy," he said quietly.
"I'm lonely."
I hated how weak that made me sound, but it was the truth. His fingers on my arm tightened.
"I have a few cousins you could hang out with. I'm sure they'd enjoy going shopping with you."
"Why does everyone think I want to go shopping?"
"Then do something else. Have a coffee, or go to a Spa, or I don't know."
"I still have a Spa certificate that I got at my bridal shower."
"See? If you want I can ask a few of my cousins."
I shook my head.
"I'm not too keen on meeting with another one of your cousins after what Lufei did."
"What did she do?" He grew rigid beneath me.
I drew back, looking at him.
Then I realized I'd never told him how I'd found him in bed with Fenli and after all the confusion of the last few days he'd never asked.
He'd probably had more than enough on his plate with the Mogo.
"She gave me the letter that led me to you and her."
Not even saying her name already made my stomach turn again, and unwanted memories resurfaced.
I sat up, away from his warmth. I drew my legs up against my chest, overwhelmed by all that had happened.
He pushed himself into a sitting position and pressed a kiss against my shoulder.
"She gave you a letter that told you to go the apartment?" His voice was tight with barely controlled anger.
I nodded, then swallowed before I dared to speak.
"Yes, with the key. It's still in my bag."
"That fucking bitch," he growled.
"Who?"
"Both of them. They're friends. Fenli must have put Lufei up to this. That tardy."
