Chapter 213: Leave Without Saying Goodbye

Su Lu took a deep breath, "Good, it's good that you're awake, good that you're awake."

A moment passed without a sound, only his rapid breathing was heard.

After a moment, he seemed to realize he hadn't responded to Su Lu and was afraid she might worry.

So, he grunted again.

"Uh." There was a pause, and feeling as if that wasn't enough, he added softly and slowly, "Don't be afraid. Su Xiaolu, don't be afraid."

Su Lu didn't speak, just held his hand tightly.

Soon, the doctor came to check on him.

"He seems to be in a lot of pain, is there anything we can do to ease his suffering?" Su Lu asked.

"The dosage of pain relief has already reached the limit, I'm sorry. Burn injuries are indeed one of the most painful wounds in the world. Please bear with it. There is a saying, though not very comforting, that indeed… pain is a sign of recovery. We can't increase the pain medication anymore, after all, no one wants to create a dependency on painkillers."
