Chapter 47 Apology

Shen Chi arrived home just as Lin Xiaoguai had finished picking out the splinters from her wound and was disinfecting it with iodine. The pain made her face deathly pale, and fine beads of sweat formed on her forehead.

Shen Chi was startled by the sight and, not bothering to change his shoes, hurried over to her side, "Let me see!"

Seeing the bloodstains scattered over her fair skin, his heart ached, "How did this happen? Does it hurt a lot?"

Such wounds wouldn't make him bat an eye if they were on his own body, but could he feel the same when they were on his wife?

"It's nothing," Lin Xiaoguai smiled weakly, "the iodine just stings a bit, the cuts aren't actually that deep."

"And you're still talking? Why didn't you call me to come and pick them out?" Shen Chi said, noticing the bloodied thorns.
