Chapter 436

It wasn’t easy, but she managed to help him up, and quickly passed him the medicine and some warm water.

"Director Ji said that after you take this medicine, you’ll feel better," she said.

"Mhm!"

He took the pills and swallowed them in one gulp.

Ye Ning sighed in relief when she saw this. Noticing that he was sweating profusely, both on his forehead and body, she asked, "Do you want to take a bath? I can run the water for you if you’d like."

Ou Mucen leaned there for a while, and perhaps the medicine really did make him feel somewhat better. Eventually, he nodded and agreed, "Yeah, please fetch my pajamas from the closet."noveldrama

The closet?

Ye Ning, recalling that she had opened his closet before he came back, suddenly felt a bit awkward: "I don’t know where you put them?"

"On the left side, the second cabinet," he said, and as if he remembered something else, he added, "And Xiaobao’s clothes from last time, in the fourth one."

Then, he got up from the bed and went to the bathroom.

Xiaobao’s clothes?

Why did he suddenly bring that up? Did he know she had looked for Xiaobao’s clothes?

Ye Ning’s cheeks flushed without reason once more, and seeing him enter the bathroom, she hurried over to the closet.

Indeed, opening the fourth cabinet, she found Xiaobao’s clothes neatly folded on the second shelf, likely washed by his house cleaner.

Next to the children’s outfit, she also spotted a dark green shirt, which was very familiar to her.

Wasn’t this the shirt she had washed with shower gel in a hotel in that small town in B City when he had a fever last time?

Ye Ning paused, recalling how when she had previously opened the closet, his clothes were always neatly ironed and hung on hangers. But why was this one folded and placed here? Moreover, she hadn’t seen him wear it since they returned.

Puzzled, she picked up the shirt and smelled it, only to find that it still carried the scent of the shower gel from the hotel.

Strange!

Ye Ning was confused, standing there lost in thought when suddenly a voice came from the bathroom, "An Ning, go get some gauze from the medicine box for me."

Gauze?

Hearing this, Ye Ning’s expression changed and she hurriedly shut the closet door, heading over to the bathroom: "What happened? Is something wrong?"

Inside the bathroom, the man standing in front of the washbasin had taken off his outer garments, and at that moment, was furrowing his brows at his lifted shirt, looking at the wound on his abdomen in the mirror.

Seeing this, Ye Ning was startled: "Good heavens, the wound dressing has come off? How did that happen?"

Ou Mucen frowned: "It must have lost its adhesiveness due to excessive sweating, leading it to split open. First, help me get the gauze."

"Yeah, okay!" Ye Ning responded and quickly went to find the gauze.

Shortly, she found the gauze and some disinfectant, which seemed to be prepared by him in advance.

With the items in hand, Ye Ning felt that since this had happened, he shouldn’t bathe; getting the wound wet could cause trouble. However, this man, who had a severe obsession with cleanliness, couldn’t tolerate the smell of sweat on his body for a moment and insisted on bandaging the wound with gauze before washing.

Seeing that there was no dissuading him, Ye Ning sighed and grabbed a clean towel hanging nearby: "Then let me help you wash."
