After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 197 Did he bully you?

My face still bore the marks of my injuries, and seeing the worry on my face, Grandma said with concern, "I'd better call a doctor to take a look at you. How did you get this on your face?"

As she spoke, Grandma raised her hand to touch my wound, but I quickly shook my head to stop her: "It's alright, Grandma."

At this moment, the older woman interjected inappropriately, "Some people are just born with the life of a maid but the body of a princess. It's just a minor bump or bruise, and everyone has to make a fuss about it."

Upon hearing this, Grandma's face darkened, and she glared fiercely at the older woman: "Shut up!"

I watched this scene helplessly, knowing I couldn't argue with my grandmother, so I could only let her find a doctor to re-treat my wound.

After checking me over and confirming that I was alright, Grandma finally let me go back to rest.

I sat on the bed, my mind preoccupied with news of Jiang Yichen.

The phone didn't respond at all, and I even wondered if it was broken.

Time passed by, and I waited until late at night, but he still didn't come back.

After much hesitation, I finally mustered the courage to dial his number, but I was worried that my call would distract him.

Lost in this dilemma, I somehow drifted off to sleep in bed.

In my half-asleep state, I felt as if someone was beside me.

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw Jiang Yichen lying beside me, his face as pale as paper, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead, some even mixed with blood.

I was so startled that I sat up abruptly and grabbed Jiang Yichen's shoulder, asking anxiously, "What's wrong?"

I looked him up and down, trying to find where he was injured.

I noticed that his hand was covering his abdomen, and his shirt was soaked with red blood.

I hurriedly said, "We need to get to the hospital right away!"

Jiang Yichen grabbed my hand, shook his head, and said weakly, "There's a first-aid kit in the room. Help me stop the bleeding."

Although I still wanted to take him to the hospital for a check-up, I thought that since we were still in the old house, if we went through all this trouble, Grandma would definitely find out.

So, I had no choice but to do as Jiang Yichen said and get the first-aid kit to treat his wounds.

However, when I returned, I found that he had already fainted.

I panicked and immediately began to treat him, while praying that he would wake up as soon as possible.

After I treated his wound, I noticed that his complexion was gradually becoming rosy. I reached out and touched his forehead, and to my surprise, he had started to have a high fever.

I frantically searched the medicine cabinet and found the fever reducer and anti-inflammatory medicine, and gave them to him according to the instructions.

Then, I stayed by his bedside all night, constantly worried that he might get infected or that his fever might not break, and that something bad might happen to him.

We kept going like this until dawn, and his fever finally subsided, at which point I breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It was almost time to get up early, but I couldn't fall back asleep.

I went downstairs thinking of making some light porridge for Jiang Yichen so he could replenish his energy when he woke up.

I never expected to run into my grandmother who gets up early.

Grandma saw me busy in the kitchen and smiled with satisfaction, saying, "There are servants in the family who do these things, why do you have to do them yourself?"

I made up a random excuse and said, "Grandma, I just wanted you to try my cooking and see if it's better than the chef's at home."

However, my grandmother noticed my exhaustion and worry. She asked with concern, "Did Jiang Yichen bully you? You look so pale."

I quickly shook my head and denied it: "No, Grandma. It's because I'm not sleeping well, that's why I'm like this."

Grandma seemed to believe me. She nodded slightly, then looked at me with loving eyes, sighed, and said, "Xiao Chen suffered a lot in the past, so he's a bit introverted and doesn't know how to please girls. But Grandma can tell that he really likes you."

Listening to my grandmother's words, I felt a mix of emotions and was somewhat lost in thought.

Then I heard Grandma continue, "Grandma also hopes that you two can stay together happily for the rest of your lives. It's not easy to meet someone you truly love, so cherish it."

Seeing my grandmother's expectant gaze, I felt even sadder.

I realized that Jiang Yichen would soon marry Lin Nan, so Grandma's wish was destined to be impossible to fulfill.

However, looking at my grandmother's kind smile, I couldn't help but tear up, but I couldn't tell her the truth.

When Grandma saw me like this, she quickly asked with concern, "Oh, poor thing, what happened?"

As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of my eyes.

I took a step back, avoiding her touch, and made up an excuse, saying, "I'm just too worried about Jiang Yichen. It's alright, Grandma. The porridge is ready, I'll go upstairs and check on it."

Before going upstairs, I first settled Grandma in and served her a bowl of porridge before carrying the porridge and side dishes upstairs.

Just then, Jiang Yichen was supporting himself as he prepared to stand up.

I quickly put down what I was holding, hurried to his side, helped him lie down again, and asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Is something bothering you?"

Jiang Yichen looked at me, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, then gently shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just a little weak."

Jiang Yichen looked at me tenderly and said weakly, "I'm sorry, I still made you worry."

I shook my head, picked up the porridge, sat down next to him, gently blew on it, and then fed it to him: "Eat something first to regain your strength. Although I treated your injury yesterday, there is still a risk of infection. Let's go to the hospital to get a tetanus shot in a bit."

Jiang Yichen parted his thin lips slightly and put the porridge in his mouth, chewing slowly.

After swallowing, he shook his head and said to me, "No, in my current condition, if I go to the hospital and the reporters see me, they'll make a big deal out of it. And it will also have a huge negative impact on the company."

I nodded in understanding, then suddenly remembered that my grandmother had called a doctor to treat my wound yesterday, so I suggested, "We can call our family doctor, that way no outsiders will know."

Jiang Yichen said with some worry, "But Grandma will be worried if she knows I'm injured."

I looked at him and said firmly, "This won't work, that won't work. Your injury will only get worse, it won't get any better. Don't worry, I won't let Grandma know, and we definitely need to find a doctor."

After feeding him a bowl of congee, I took the bowl downstairs.

Jiang Yichen grabbed my wrist, still worried, and warned me again, "Don't let Grandma know."

I nodded: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

After going downstairs, I saw Grandma sitting in the garden sunbathing.
