Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265: Chapter 265: So Late, What’s the Matter?

This cry for help immediately roused the entire Gong Family.

Gong Weimin came out carrying a kerosene lamp. Upon opening the main gate, he saw a woman with a face covered in blood standing outside. "What’s happened here? And you are...?"

Deng Xiaojie ignored everything and rushed in. "Doctor Gong, please look at my face quickly!"

She pushed him so forcefully that Gong Weimin almost dropped the kerosene lamp. He barked, "What are you doing?"

At that moment, lights also flickered on in Doctor Gong’s room. A voice called out, "Just a moment."

Deng Xiaojie was frantic. "I’ve injured my face! I can’t wait!"

Ma Huihui, the Gong Family’s eldest daughter-in-law, came out, somewhat irritated. "Shut your mouth! What’s with all this shouting at our house in the middle of the night?"

Startled by the scolding, Deng Xiaojie seemed to sober up a little. "My... my face hurts too much."

Ma Huihui wasn’t heartless. Seeing her in this state, her heart softened. "Stop crying. If your tears flow into the wound, it’ll hurt even more."

It was a cold night, too cold to let her stand outside, so Ma Huihui opened the door to the main hall. "Come in first. What happened?"

Only after she asked did it dawn on her. Given Scarface Zhang’s temperament, she knew without asking that he must have caused this.

Just then, Doctor Gong was carried over by his eldest son, Gong Weimin.

Deng Xiaojie paid no mind to anything else and quickly got to her feet. "Doctor Gong, please look at my face quickly!"

Doctor Gong looked at her hand, which was pressed to her face. "Take your hand away first. Let me have a look."

But as soon as she removed her hand, everyone present gasped. A chunk of flesh on her right cheek had been scraped up. If it had been any deeper, it might have pierced through to her oral cavity.

Doctor Gong felt a pang of pity, but it seemed impossible for such a wound not to leave a scar. "It would be best to go to a higher-level hospital. If it’s not treated properly and gets infected... The village health clinic only has the most basic medications. We mustn’t delay your treatment." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Doctor Gong thought the wound definitely needed stitching. But considering his own physical limitations, the late hour, and his failing eyesight, he worried he might make things worse and couldn’t bear that responsibility.
