Chapter 614: I Think I Hurt My Face
Yin Shuiling was just like a wooden block as she stood in a daze outside the door. Her dress was drenched with a layer of porridge, and even her small beautiful face had a few pieces of rice stuck on it. She looked both comical and disheveled.
At this moment, a nurse, Xiao Li, walked over, “Miss, what is wrong with you? Aiya, your hands are scalded. Are you okay?”
Yin Shuiling regained her senses, and she felt pain. Her small hand and her skin that felt fiery hot. Her eyes were wet, and she was in so much pain that her tears flowed relentlessly.
She always had a low tolerance for pain, but lately, it seemed that she was constantly getting hurt.
Xiao Li looked at Yin Shuiling’s gentle and pathetic appearance and quickly said, “Miss, don’t cry. Let’s go. Let’s go over to my office. I will help you apply some medication.”
“Okay, thank you.” Yin Shuiling followed Xiao Li over to the office.
...
Xiao Li helped Yin Shuiling apply some medication as she said, “Thankfully, this bowl of porridge was not too hot. If it were a little hotter, I think your skin would be badly burnt. Apply this medication for three days, and you will recover. I still have a clean set of clothes here. You should go change into them.”
Yin Shuiling took the clothes and put them on. “I have troubled you today. How about I give you some money?”
Xiao Li was excited as she waved her hands. “There is no need for that. This set of clothes is not brand new. You should just wear them casually. It is merely what I can do to help; don’t talk about money.”
Yin Shuiling felt warm inside her heart as she said, “Thank you.”
“You don’t have to thank me.”
“Oh right, I have a question,” Yin Shuiling suddenly thought of something, “Does this hospital have a kitchen? Can I borrow the kitchen for a while? I can pay.”
Xiao Li blinked her eyes, smiled, and said, “There is a kitchen in the hospital, but there are rules in the hospital. Even if you have money, we cannot allow anyone to use the kitchen.”
“Oh.” Yin Shuiling nodded her head in disappointment.
“Can you tell me what you plan to do in the kitchen?”
Yin Shuiling hesitated for a moment before she said, “The patient in that ward just now seemed to not have a good appetite. I want to borrow your kitchen to make a meal for her.”
“Making a meal? But I think it would very hard for Madam Yin to appreciate your efforts.”
Yin Shuiling looked at Xiao Li and said, “You know?”
Xiao Li had a cheeky and lively smile on her face, and she said, “Who in T City would not know about what happened between Miss Yin and President Yin? I am not that uninformed.”
Yin Shuiling drooped her small head and was upset as she said, “I don’t need Aunty to appreciate my efforts. Don’t tell her that it was me who made the meal. Otherwise, she would definitely not eat it. I only hope that she would recuperate well, and she would be healthy and well. All will be good as long as she is doing fine.”
Xiao Li let out a sigh and she held Yin Shuiling’s hand as she said, “Let’s go. I will bring you over. Money is useless, but I have a back door. I will go and let my father, who is the assistant director, know about this.”
Yin Shuiling was immediately surprised and said, “Xiao Li, thank you.”
...
Thanks to Xio Li’s connection, the kitchen reserved a small pace for her to cook, and she made the portion for one person to eat. She did it really well.
She boiled a plain bowl of millet porridge before Xiao Li sent it inside for her, with Yin Shuiling waiting outside the door anxiously.
Liu Wanxin, who was inside the hospital ward, had already calmed down. Xiao Li handed the bowl over to Xiao Qing. “Madam did not eat breakfast today. This is very bad for her health. You should feed this to Madam.”
Xiao Li took the bowl of porridge. Actually, she wanted to say that Godma did not have a good appetite and did not want to eat anything. Even if she fed Godma, she would not eat, but when she had a look at Xiao Li, who was dressed in a white lab coat, she could not disregard the words of the doctors and nurses, so she sat down by the side of the bed to feed Liu Wanxin.
“Godma, you have not eaten anything for a few days. You have slimmed down so much. Come, let’s have a mouth of porridge.”
Liu Wanxin wasn’t over her anger quite yet. She waved her hands to push Xiao Qing’s hand away. “I do not want to eat...”
Xiao Qing knew that this would be the case, and she wanted to retract her hand.
“Wait a moment...” Liu Wanxin grabbed Xiao Qing’s wrist, and she went close to have a whiff of the fragrance of this bowl of porridge. She had the whiff of the sweet smell of the glutinous rice porridge.
“Feed me a spoonful.”
“Okay.” Xiao Qing fed Liu Wanxin a spoonful.
Liu Wanxin ate the porridge, and she looked towards Xiao Li’s direction and asked her, “Did your hospital get a new chef?”
Xiao Li shook her head and said, “No. There are many chefs in our hospital. The porridge that you ate today was probably made by a different chef. Madam, do you think this tastes good? If you think this tastes good, I will record the name of this chef, and in the future, your meals would be taken care of by this chef.”
Liu Wanxin took a second bite of porridge, and the entire bowl was finished. She nodded her head and said, “Okay.”
Xiao Li took the bowl, and she walked out of the ward.
Xiao Qing was flabbergasted. Godma finished the entire bowl of porridge? How did Godma’s appetite become so good? Where did this chef come from?
Xiao Qing found it weird.
...
Xiao Li walked out of the hospital ward. She waved the empty bowl in her hands for Yin Shuiling to see. Yin Shuiling took a deep breath of air, and her small exquisite face had a bright smile on it.
“Miss Yin, Madam Yin complimented your culinary skills just now. She said that she would want to have your food in the future. What about this: I will ask for some recipes from Madam’s head physician later. If you are free, you should help Madam Yin to nourish her body with food. Added together with the aggressive treatment with medicine, it might stop Madam Yin’s body from being paralysed completely.”
“Really? That’s great to hear.” Yin Shuiling and Xiao Li walked away together.
What they did not know was, at the bend of the corridor, Xiao Qing heard everything.
Xiao Qing angrily clenched her teeth. Both of her hands were kneaded into fists. It turned out that Yin Shuiling had made the porridge!
...
The next two weeks following that, Yin Shuiling stayed in the hospital. She followed the recipes given by the doctor and made different healthy nutritious recipes, and every time she did so, Liu Wanxin would finish the entire bowl.
Her days were spent being very fulfilled. She would take care of Liu Wanxin in the daytime and would return to her rented condominium unit to draw comics. Yin Muchen was still on a business trip in the US, and he was probably going to come back soon.
Yin Shuiling was living a busy life, and Xiao Qing felt her position was in great danger. Everyone said that to persuade a person to stay, you had to do so using food. Looking at how Liu Wanxin loved Yin Shuiling’s culinary skills, she felt both uneasy and jealous.
Why did Yin Shuiling gain the favour of other so easily?
Where did Yin Shuiling get her culinary skills?
If Godma accepted Yin Shuiling, what was she going to do then?
In the night, Xiao Qing went to the stairwell, took her phone out, and secretly called her cousin from the village. “Hello, older cousin, can you help me with a problem?”
...
That day, Yin Shuiling was washing vegetables in the kitchen. She’d bought them on the way over. They were all very fresh, and she wanted to fry pig liver today to nourish Liu Wanxin.
She sliced the pork liver well and placed it onto the plate. She switched the gas stove on and lit the stove.
The pot was hot, and she added some oil to the pot. Suddenly, her phone started to ring. Yin Shuiling adjusted the flame before stepping aside to take her phone.
Right when she took her phone out: Bang! The gas cylinder exploded.
Yin Shuiling stood a little further away because she was getting her handphone. She was standing by the side of the door, and she heard the sound of the explosion and knew that it was going to be bad, so she ran towards the door.
She ran to the exit and was pelted by a glass shard that flew towards her right cheek due to the explosion. Her cheek was fiery pain. She stretched her hand out to cup it, and her hand was full of fresh blood.
She ran outside, and she was limp as she sat down on the ground in shock, and at this moment, the security team of the hospital rushed over. The entire kitchen was in flames.
Xiao Li also rushed over. She quickly stooped down to ask Yin Shuiling, “Miss Yin, where did you hurt yourself? Let me have a look.”
Yin Shuiling used one of her small hands to cup her right cheek. The red blood flowed down the gaps of her fair fingers, looking terrifying and shocking, and upon hearing what Xiao Li said, she panted heavily. She regained her senses after that sudden fright.
She looked over at Xiao Li, and her large, defined eyes were shocked and lost as she said, “I think...I hurt my...face.”
“Quick, let me have a look.” Xiao Li removed Yin Shuiling’s hand.
The moment Xiao Li had a glance, the expression on her face changed. She did not say anything at all, but she called someone over, “Quick, someone lend me a hand, send her over to the treatment room!”
...
Inside the treatment room
The wound on Yin Shuiling’s right cheek was treated. She had a thick bandage, and the doctor spoke to Xiao Li outside the room. The doctor tried his best to lower his volume and was probably afraid that Yin Shuiling would hear him as he said, “The situation is very bad. The injury on the patient’s face is very deep, I can’t be 100% sure that there would be a scar left behind.”
“What?” Xiao Li was shocked as she said, “That cannot do! A scar on a woman’s face is akin to being...disfigured. Furthermore, Miss Yin’s face is so pretty. She would definitely be not able to take it.”
The doctor let out a sigh and said, “This is an accident. Nobody is able to turn time back. But we should also not be too depressed. The technology for plastic surgery overseas is extremely advanced now. I will suggest that the patient go overseas in the future to remove the scar.”
The doctor left, and Xiao Li stood at the side of the door for a few minutes in a daze before going into the treatment room.
Xiao Li did not know what to say. “Miss Yin...”
Yin Shuiling’s face was pale. She drooped her gaze and softly said, “Xiao Li, you don’t have to say it. I heard everything.”
Xiao Li was unable to say anything about going overseas to remove the scar. She felt extremely depressed on the behalf of Yin Shuiling. Xiao Li changed the subject and said, “Miss Yin, the reason for the explosion has already been investigated. The gas canister in the kitchen was problematic, and two days ago, the staff in the kitchen went over to a private establishment to add gas. They did not expect that there would be a problem in this canister of gas. We have gone over to look for the owner of the establishment, and that owner has already run away. We have already contacted the police, and they are investigating the case.”
“Okay.” Yin Shuiling nodded her head and acknowledged whatever Xiao Li had said.
Xiao Li looked at her pale, soulless face before saying, “Miss Yin, your mental state is not very good. You should quickly go home to rest.”
Yin Shuiling did not cry. She was only in a daze. Actually it was better if she could cry it all out, and it was just because she did not cry that Xiao Li became even more worried.
Yin Shuiling stood up. She looked at the clock on the wall as she said, “It is almost noon now. Aunty wants to have her meal soon. Xiao Li, can you borrow the kitchen for me to use again? Forget it, I should not trouble you anymore. I have already made too much trouble for you to handle. I should rush back home to cook then. I will come back to the hospital once I am done cooking.”
Yin Shuiling was ready to leave the hospital.
“Ay, Miss Yin!” Xiao Li hurriedly grabbed Yin Shuiling’s slim wrist as she said, “The usage of the kitchen in the hospital is a small thing. I will lend it to you once again. It is so troublesome for you to go and return again.”
Xiao Li felt very bad for this girl. After getting involved in the gas canister explosion, her face was hurt. She was the victim in this, but she said that she was troubling Xiao Li, and she even said that she was bringing trouble over to the hospital.
How could anyone not feel bad for her?
...
One week later
Inside the treatment room, the doctor removed the bandage for Yin Shuiling. Yin Shuiling looked at herself in the mirror. Her soft and supple right cheek had a long scar.
