Chapter 1230: Chapter 1225: Rest Assured

Gu Youyou wiped her sweat and said, “He will survive, but he needs to be well taken care of. That leg… it’s been too long, it must not get infected again; otherwise, I can only amputate his leg to save his life.”

“Thank you!” Miss Du sobbed, “I’m glad you were here to save him.”

Gu Youyou gave a faint smile, glanced towards Searcy, and then said to Miss Du, “Let’s go out first. Searcy is applying medicine and bandaging him, and also needs to put on a splint. It will take some time, let’s not disturb her here.”

Miss Du quickly nodded: “Okay, let’s talk outside.”

Cuiya had some tea brought over, and Gu Youyou sat down with Miss Du for a light conversation.

Gu Youyou first explained to Miss Du some matters regarding patient care, and then asked, “How did you find him?”

Everyone thought he was dead, but it turns out he only lost an arm and injured his leg.

Miss Du said, “He had returned by the time Wanqing was buried, that was the first time I saw him, but I didn’t recognize him, he was avoiding me.”

“That long ago?” Gu Youyou was startled and said, “Several months already.”

Miss Du nodded and said, “Yes, it’s been several months. Later, he came to Jinxiu City. I would see him often, but I didn’t recognize him until this morning…”

Miss Du told Gu Youyou everything that had happened with Jie Zhonglin up until now, leaving Gu Youyou sighing incessantly.

She felt that perhaps Jie Zhonglin’s injuries were not just limited to his arm and leg; his mind seemed to be affected too.

Did he really wish to die? Ending up like this, causing his family to worry.

It was also his fate not to die yet; perhaps he had finally repaid the debts he owed to the two Miss Du sisters, which is why he was recognized by Miss Du just before he could have died.

Of course, as for why he did this, we can only know once he wakes up.

When Regent Jie heard from the servants that Jie Zhonglin was no longer in mortal danger, he came to this courtyard.

Searcy was still busy with post-treatment work for Jie Zhonglin, only Gu Youyou and Miss Du were there.

Gu Youyou raised her head and said to the worried Regent Jie, “Regent Jie can rest assured now, the second young master is not in mortal danger.”

Regent Jie forced a smile and gently nodded: “Many thanks, Doctor Gu!”

“Don’t mention it, I am a doctor!” she said.

“Jie owes Doctor Gu another favor.”

Gu Youyou smiled and did not speak further.

Miss Du talked to Regent Jie about Jie Zhonglin’s condition, and after Gu Youyou had enough rest, she went inside to help Searcy.

Searcy said indifferently: “He’s really lucky to survive such a condition. But once the anesthesia wears off and he wakes up, he’s going to be in so much pain he might wish he were dead.”

Gu Youyou laughed and said: “You think too much, last time I set his bone without anesthesia, he didn’t make a sound.”

Searcy looked at the man who looked like a beggar and chuckled, “Huh? He can endure indeed.”

Seeing his miserable appearance, she added: “Well, he must endure. From a wealthy young master to a beggar, not everyone could bear that.”

He really looked wretched, his clothes were tattered, and touching them felt dirty, his body also emitted a foul smell.

Searcy almost had to hold her nose to work on his leg.

Truly miserable.

After they came out, a maid quickly brought a basin of hot water into the room, and Miss Du used a clean rag to wipe his body a bit at a time, then slowly cut off his torn clothes with scissors and took them off.

Any thoughts of hatred or resentment weren’t important at this moment.
