“It isn’t hard for me. Being able to do something for Father and Mother is my blessing,” Wei Qingwan replied.
“With you here, Mother truly feels much more at ease.”
Her daughter’s sensible and well-behaved manner brought a bit of comfort to Yun Shi’s anxious heart.
“Mother, please don’t worry. Physician Cheng already said Father is out of danger. As long as he continues to recuperate for a while, he will wake up. During this time, I will take good care of father and won’t let anything happen to him,” Wei Qingwan said.
Yun Shi nodded.
Wei Qingwan then continued to persuade her, “Mother, you should go back and rest. Father is getting better, and you must recover as soon as possible as well. When Father wakes up and sees that you are well, he will feel reassured.”
Then she turned to Cuiping, the maid who had accompanied Yun Shi, and said, “Cuiping, help Mother back to her room to rest. Her health hasn’t fully recovered yet, so she shouldn’t move around too much. There is still some ginseng soup in the kitchen, have someone bring it over so Mother can drink some.”
“Yes, Miss,” Cuiping replied.
Following Wei Qingwan’s instructions, Cuiping helped Yun Shi back to the next room, while Wei Qingwan remained to continue looking after Wei Mingting.
Wei Qingwan mainly took charge of feeding Wei Mingting his medicine and ginseng soup. However, tasks like changing his dressings were beyond her ability and had to be done by Physician Cheng and his apprentice.
When Physician Cheng removed the bandages from Wei Mingting’s body and revealed the horrifying wounds beneath, Wei Qingwan was still frightened. She turned her face away, not daring to look too closely.
Although the blood on the wounds had already dried and some had begun to scab over, the large hollow where flesh had been carved away remained. The enormous scar, twisted like a giant centipede, looked terrifying.
Physician Cheng noticed Wei Qingwan’s reaction and asked her to wait outside. He told her to come back in after the medicine had been applied and the wounds re-bandaged.
After noon, the room grew somewhat warm. Seeing beads of sweat on Wei Mingting’s forehead, Wei Qingwan took a warm towel and gently wiped the sweat from his face.
As she wiped, Wei Mingting’s brows twitched slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
“Father?!” Wei Qingwan could hardly believe it. Shock was quickly followed by joy, and tears welled up in her eyes before rolling down her cheeks.
“Wan…” Wei Mingting tried to speak, but almost no sound came from his throat. His whole body felt incredibly heavy, as if a massive stone were pressing down on him.
“Father, don’t speak yet. Your injuries are very serious. You barely managed to get your life back, and you still need to rest and recover properly!” Wei Qingwan said hurriedly.
Wei Mingting truly had no strength to speak. His body felt unbearably heavy, and he could hardly move any part of it. So he simply blinked once to show that he understood.
Wei Qingwan could not help but shed tears. “Father, you’ve suffered so much!”
Seeing his daughter crying, Wei Mingtin tried again to speak. “Don’t… cry…”
“I won’t cry, I won’t cry. Father, you just rest well. I won’t cry anymore—please don’t speak,” Wei Qingwan said hurriedly, wiping away her tears.
Hearing the commotion, Physician Cheng came over and checked Wei Mingting’s pulse. Then he said solemnly, “Lord Wei’s condition is improving. The fact that he has awakened means the worst of the crisis has passed! Congratulations, congratulations!”
He then reminded them, “Lord Wei must not move recklessly. He needs proper rest. Do not let him exert himself or worry about anything. His health must come first.”
Wei Mingtin blinked once to show he had heard.
Standing nearby, Wei Qingwan asked with concern, “Physician Cheng, is there anything else I should do?”
