Seeing Zou Shaolong gesture at the position of her throat, Liu Wanning suddenly became panic-stricken and even wanted to crawl under the table again.

Zou Shaolong quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Wan Ning. I just want to take you to check your throat. You are injured here, and you will be in pain if you don't get it healed."

Liu Wanning was still very panicked, covering her neck with her hands.

"It won't hurt much, really~ I'd be lying to you if I lied to you," Zou Shaolong said humorously.

The fear in Liu Wanning's eyes was much less, and she slowly moved her hands away.

"Eat, eat more, and we'll check after you've taken the medicine."

When Liu Wanning heard that she had to go for a check-up, she lost her appetite and simply put down her chopsticks.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned the physical examination while you were eating."

Zou Shaolong said guiltily.

Liu Wanning lowered her head and began to feel nervous and frightened again.

"Wan Ning, don't be afraid. I'll find a doctor right now. After the examination, you won't be afraid anymore."

Liu Wanning looked up at Zou Shaolong.

"I'll ask the nurse to stay with you for a while. I'll be back soon."

Zou Shaolong said.

Liu Wanning did not respond.

But when she saw Zou Shaolong was about to turn around and leave, Liu Wanning jumped off the chair and chased after him.

Hearing a bang, Zou Shaolong immediately turned around, hugged Liu Wanning in his arms, and looked at her with heartache and pity.

"Hello Wan Ning~Are you in pain?"

"Or we can go together."

Afraid that Liu Wanning would mistakenly think that he was going to abandon her, Zou Shaolong had to carry her to the doctor's office upstairs.

The same doctor from before was on duty.

Seeing the tongue depressor in the doctor's hand, Liu Wanning burst into tears of fear again.

"Wan Ning, don't be afraid, it won't hurt."

Zou Shaolong hugged Liu Wanning a little harder and comforted her.

Liu Wanning calmed down a little.

"Baby, don't be nervous. Yeah~ relax a little,"

The doctor first gave a quick examination with a tongue depressor and a flashlight, then shook his head with a worried look on his face.

"The throat and vocal cords were injured. It looks pretty serious."

Zou Shaolong had expected this result, but he still couldn't stop feeling sad.

"What should I do? Does it need surgery to cure it?"

The doctor replied: "To further confirm the condition, let's do a laryngoscopy. It may be a little uncomfortable, but it will be a more thorough examination."

Zou Shaolong looked down at Liu Wanning in his arms and encouraged her, "Wanning, I know you are the strongest. You will definitely be able to endure even a little bit of pain, right?"

The fear in Liu Wanning's eyes was more obvious than before, but there was also a bit more determination and courage.

"Okay Wan Ning, I know you're the best, let's check it out now, okay?"

Liu Wanning nodded slightly.

Zou Shaolong then placed Liu Wanning on the examination chair, holding her hand tightly, trying to give her the greatest sense of security.

"This is a local anesthetic. Hold it in your throat for a while before swallowing it."

Liu Wanning cooperated very well and took the medicine.

"It might be a little uncomfortable next, just bear with it."

Liu Wanning understood, closed her eyes, and frowned.

The doctor slowly inserted the examination scope into Liu Wanning's throat.

Several shocking scars appeared in the camera.

"Look~ The injury here is very serious. The vocal cords are cut horizontally, as if they were cut by a sharp knife. If it was more serious, the trachea would be cut off."

The doctor took a photo of the position on the hand and recorded it, then slowly moved the probe out.

"Wan Ning, the examination is done, you are the best," Zou Shaolong said, gently stroking Liu Wan Ning's shoulder.

Liu Wanning opened her eyes and then let out a long breath.

Through Liu Wanning's slightly moist palms, Zou Shaolong could feel how much perseverance she had just exerted.

"Hello Wan Ning, you are really amazing."

Zou Shaolong held Liu Wanning in his arms, then looked at the doctor and asked, "Doctor, based on the results of the examination, how long do you think it will take to recover? Does she need surgery?"

The doctor replied: "She will definitely need surgery, and there should be a good chance that she can recover. But her vocal cords were severely injured, and she will definitely not be able to recover to her previous state."

Zou Shaolong sighed, "Ah~ We just tried our best, and I hope God will bless us."

Then he asked, "Doctor, Wan Ning may need orthopedic surgery in the next few days. Can these two surgeries be done at the same time? Will her body be able to bear it?"

The doctor looked at the skinny Liu Wanning and said hesitantly, "It's better to do it separately. This is not something that can be done overnight."

Zou Shaolong nodded, "Okay, then we'll do the orthopedic surgery first and make an appointment with you later."

Afterwards, Zou Shaolong carried Liu Wanning back to the ward.

Liu Wanning leaned against the head of the bed, looking extremely tired.

"Wan Ning, are you tired and want to sleep?" Zou Shaolong asked with a smile.

Liu Wanning answered Zou Shaolong with her eyes, saying that she was indeed very sleepy.

"Then let's turn off the lights and go to bed."

Zou Shaolong helped Liu Wanning make the bed and turned off the light.

The curtains were drawn in the room, which had a very good light-blocking effect. After turning off the lights, it was pitch dark inside the room.

Liu Wanning screamed in fear and anxiety.

What Liu Wanning fears most is a pitch-black environment. When in such an environment, she can't help but think of those painful things in her mind.

Those beasts often committed crimes in the middle of the night. So Liu Wanning was most afraid of the dark night.

Hearing Liu Wanning's hoarse and panicked cry, Zou Shaolong hurriedly turned on the light.

"Sorry, I forgot you don't like turning off the lights."

Liu Wanning sat at the head of the bed with her hands on her knees, trembling all over, and her bright big eyes looked at Zou Shaolong with resentment.

"Wan Ning, I'm sorry~ It's my fault."

Zou Shaolong said as he stroked Liu Wanning's arm.

"It's all right now, you can lie down and sleep. Don't be afraid, I will always stay by your side."

Liu Wanning carefully got into the bed and peeked at Zou Shaolong with her little eyes.

"You were still peeking at me~," Zou Shaolong teased.

Liu Wanning's big crescent-shaped eyes gave Zou Shaolong a sense of déjà vu.

He thought of Zhou Xinyao.

The mother and daughter's eyes are exactly the same.

"Hello Wan Ning, your eyes..."

“It’s really beautiful.”

Zou Shaolong wanted to say, your eyes are almost exactly the same as your mother's.

Afraid of stirring up Liu Wanning's sadness, he had to change his words insincerely.

Liu Wanning smiled shyly and hid in the quilt.
