Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Li Xue instantly dropped down on her knees, wincing in pain. "Sh*t", she cursed when she saw warm blood gushing out her leg. Getting such a relaxed and comfortable sleep for almost all of the night, she has almost forgotten that she was freshly shot on her lower leg and has got stitches after operating the wound.

Her eyes closed when felt the increasing sting in her leg while her fingers went to grip it hard in an attempt to lessen the pain but nothing helped.

"Ma'am, are you fine?" Suddenly she heard someone ask. Opening her eyes, she realized that two nurses had come in, pushing the door open.

"Oh my gosh! She is bleeding. We should call the doctor immediately. She needs the treatment" The other nurse said, rushing out of the room and Li Xue instantly recognized her voice. She was one in those whispers before.

Her brow scrunched in pain as she looked at the nurse who stayed back with her. "What is this place? Who brought me here?" She asked, forcing her words out with some pain.

"Ma'am, you are bleeding. Please let me help you up first" The nurse said as she quickened her steps to reach her. But just when she was about to get near her, Li Xue warned her in a sharp voice.

"Please! You better stay at your place and let me know the answers to my questions first. What is this place? And who brought me here?" Though in her voice there was a tinge of pain, that small tinge was not dominating the sharpness of her aura.

The nurse was truly troubled at her words. She was already fearing the consequences that will be coming on her now. She has clearly been ordered to take the best care of the lady, yet her efforts went bad. Now, she does not know what would be her punishment?

"Ma'am, please let me help you or else my punishment for not taking good care of you will only be increased. Maybe it would even lead to nowhere less than a torturous death. Please, let me help you!" the nurse said taking her steps forward again with a pitiful expression.

Li Xue looked at her and did not know what to say more. She could clearly see the fear in the nurse's eyes while her complexion was also not looking any good. Soon with the help of her, she was half laid on the bed.

"Thank you!" Li Xue said with gratitude as she gave a half-smile to the nurse. "Can you tell me now? What and when did I get here?"

"Ma'am, this is Florida. You were brought here today, early in the morning before the daybreak. It was your hus …" The nurse tried to answer the questions but just as she started and was halfway, the doctor dashed inside the room with urgency, interrupting her words.

"Ah, the doctor is here, Ma'am. Let him treat you first. You are already bleeding too much", the nurse said disrupting the topic, politely gesturing the doctor to come inside fast and start the treatment.

The doctor nodded as he paced his steps towards the bed. Reaching her, he examined the wounds before saying, "The stitches have opened up. Mrs Feng, did you put any pressure on your foot?" The doctor asked, still examining her leg.

Mrs Feng!

Li Xue's lips curled as she got the answer she was seeking. But her eyes still went to look around to find the man but not even the air of his presence was felt there.

"Mrs Feng?" The doctor stressed again and the woman was instantly brought back from her trance.

"Oh, I am sorry. Yes, doctor! By mistake, I forgot that I was injured. In my carelessness, I jumped down from the bed and this happened" Li Xue answered, getting embarrassed at her own actions. Would there be anyone to believe that she felt so comfortable in her sleep has almost forgotten the fresh wound on her leg?

The doctor nodded understanding the scenario that must have happened as he added, "It's okay. I would stitch the wound again but please be careful next time. Opening of stitches is not good. It might lead to infection if not taken care".

Li Xue embarrassedly nodded, "Yes, I will keep in mind from the next time". And the doctor instantly went to work. Soon the bleeding stopped and the stitches were done. And just when then the doctor was about to scissor the surgical thread, Feng Shufen came inside the room with a frigid face. He was in a video conferencing meeting when he got the news of what happened behind him. 

"Mr Feng!" the doctor greeted keeping the needle back in his kit box, while the two nurses bowed their heads in respect.

But the man did not care to look at those etiquettes. His eyes directly went to stare at the pale face of the woman who was half lying on the bed, keeping her back supported on the pillow at the headboard. Then his eyes went to gaze at her leg, his fist clenched when saw some traces of blood on her skin. In the hurry, the doctor might have overlooked it.

"Shufen, I am fine. You don't have to worry" Li Xue said when felt the man all stuck at his place. But just as she said, his grey eyes pierced her amber ones, making her realize that those words of hers were not going to pacify him. "I … I really mean it. After taking the painkillers, this is not hurting anymore". she added more to coax him but nothing worked.

From behind Gao Fan glared at the two nurses, "Weren't you two being ordered to take care of our Madam? With you around, how did this happen?"

"Sir, we … we didn't …" The nurse started but was cut short when Li Xue from their side, said on their behalf.

"Gao Fan, it was not their fault. I was the careless one. I almost forgot about my wound. All this while they have been treating me nice" she said as her eyes kept on staring at the man. Was he upset with her?

She knew he was. But did not knew what was her topmost offense from which she should begin with? From the day he has left the country to the day she has met him in Caracas. She has done so many outrageous things that now she has lost its count.

Without knowing the main reason behind his anger, how would she pacify him?

Blinking her eyes, she looked at the man as she said fisting her fingers tight on the blanket. "Shufen, I want to confess something!"
