She let him take her hand, reapplying the antiseptic to the wound.
The medicine stung her skin, and she sucked in a low breath, trying to pull her arm back, but his strength was too much for her to overcome.
He forcefully finished applying the medicine and redressed the wound with fresh gauze.
"Rest well!"

For several days, she lay quietly in the bedroom, not speaking a word to him.
He seemed very busy lately too, sometimes coming to check on her stealthily in the middle of the night.
After a few days, her emotions stabilized a bit, and she would talk to the children, occasionally teaching them to paint.
But she still didn't pay much attention to him.
That night, he was in the middle of an important security meeting.
Secretary Wen hurried to find him, "Miss Gong has had a little incident, do you want to go check on her?"
