Chapter 170: I've Warned You Before

Qiao Chengxun saw her in pain and blamed himself for his careless mistake, but now was not the time for self-reproach. He quickly dropped what he had in his hand and scooped her up in his arms.

"Don't move around."

"Where, where are you taking me?"

Wen Meimei, facing such prolonged darkness for the first time, was enveloped by fear. She clung tightly to the man's neck, terrified that he would abandon her.

Sensing the girl's unease, Qiao Chengxun tightened his grip on her slender waist and then gently set her down on the edge of the bathtub.

He grabbed a towel, dampened it, and gently wiped her eyes and the medicinal liquid around them.

"Don't clench your eyes so tightly. Relax and try to open your eyes slowly."

"Uh..."

Wen Meimei obediently tried, moving very, very slowly, but her eyes still stung with a sour pain, and tears uncontrollably welled up.

"It still hurts so much, I won't go blind, will I?"

"I will rinse your eyes with water."
