Xie Limo felt his heart getting ripped apart inch by inch . How did his wife end up like this?

His heart already ached terribly when she was scalded, so with her current injuries, the pain in his heart was even worse . He desperately wanted to stab his chest with a knife . That would feel better than this excruciating pain he was feeling .

He couldn't bear to say a single word as she was still unconscious . Afraid of hurting and losing her, he treated and handled her as though she was a fragile porcelain—his touch and movements were extremely gentle .

Today, he finally understood what it meant to feel that way .

He blamed himself even more . He was critical of everything he did, and it was because he didn't protect her well . It was all his fault .

Although the wound on Yun Bixue's leg had already been treated, it still hurt his heart . It seemed painful to even breathe as well .

He bent down and kissed Yun Bixue's lips . He whispered, “I'm sorry . You suffered so much because of me . You blame me too, right? I'm your husband, but I've failed to protect you . I didn't do my duties well . It's my fault . ”

As the Xie family's heir, Xie Limo wielded control over everyone and never needed to say sorry . Nonetheless, he had to apologize to his wife . Besides those words of apology, he didn't know what else to say .

Since the day she married him, he had promised that he would never allow her to regret her actions . He would try his best to protect and love her . Despite this, she got hurt in the end because of him .

Xie Limo felt his eyes getting damp . After touching the corner of his eye, he realized that it was indeed wet . His hands trembled, disbelief written all over his face . Were they really his tears?

After Ling Nanchen received Xie Limo's call, he knew that things weren't looking great . He immediately called Xie Liu and requested for the address before rus.h.i.+ng over .

The moment he saw Yun Bixue, he was also taken aback . It was, indeed, a shock for one's eyes . Her leg, head, and feet were covered with wounds . Even though she had already been cleaned and changed into fresh clothes, the house was still reeking of blood .

Ling Nanchen thought that there were places he shouldn't see or touch, so he turned around and taught Xie Limo how to apply the ointment on her body .

Under Ling Nanchen's guidance, Xie Limo carefully disinfected and treated Yun Bixue's wounds before applying the ointment . He only used the most expensive medicine for her .

Usually, Ling Nanchen treated them as though they were gems . If no one's life was threatened, he was resolute on not using them . This time, he brought all of them, and Young Master Xie was using them generously .

This expensive ointment had wonderful effects . Aside from treating wounds, it wouldn't leave any scars . Not only that, but it also made the skin whiter and clearer .

After finis.h.i.+ng this task, Xie Limo's tensed mind finally relaxed . He turned to Ling Nanchen and said, “Let her rest . I'll watch over her, so go and stay in the living room . I'll call you if I need anything . ”

The corners of Ling Nanchen's mouth twitched . Looking at Xie Limo's bloodshot eyes and the stubble of his growing beard, he was rather frightened . He confirmed that Xie Limo hadn't slept in days .

“You need to sleep . If she were to see you like this when she wakes up, she'll feel anxious . ”

Xie Limo shook his head . “I'm fine . I can't fall asleep anyway . I'll only be at ease if I watch over her . ”

Looking at Xie Limo's determined expression, Ling Nanchen couldn't argue anymore . The eldest grandson of the Xie Family being loyal and loving was a genetic trait . Although it was a good thing, it would expose his weakness .

However, after meeting her several times, he thought that Yun Bixue was pretty decent and could match up to Xie Limo . Although this woman wasn't strong enough now, she would be worthy of standing beside Xie Limo one day as they take on the world .

Before leaving, Ling Nanchen said, “Based on her wound's location and angle, she had stabbed her leg herself . It was probably to stay awake and alert . ”
