Chapter 613 - Stopped Responding To Pain
Chapter 613 – Stopped Responding To Pain
Huo Jin left the Palace and reached the house of Wang Hao. Yin Na, the sister of Wang Hao, was playing with a few women in the front courtyard and accidentally hit him. Huo Jin, who was still in deep thoughts, could not balance himself and fell to the ground.
Yin Na and the servants stopped at their places. Yin Na quickly bent on her knees and asked Huo Jin if he was fine.
She brought her palm close to her mouth as she saw Huo Jin's wrist was wounded. She grabbed his right hand and said, "Your wrist is bleeding."
"It's fine," Huo Jin pulled his hand back and stood up. He walked away from her sight and it made her worried.
"Fai Fai, could you please bring the doctor?" She asked her personal servant.
"Miss, the doctor is not in the capital for a day. He will return in the evening," Fai Fai replied to her.
"Then, bring me the first-aid box. His wrist is injured and it might get infected if not treated at the time," Yin Na affirmed. Fai Fai nodded and rushed towards the main house while Yin Na went to the room of Huo Jin.
She stayed outside, waiting for Fai Fai to bring the first-aid box. After ten minutes, Fai Fai arrived there and handed it to Yin Na. "Forgive me for getting late," she said and lowered her eyes.
"No worries. Stay here. I will be back soon," Yin Na said as she took the first-aid kit from her. She went towards the door, slid the door, and closed it behind her.
She turned and saw Huo Jin on the floor mattress. "Brother Wang will get angry if he sees the wound," Yin Na said. She walked to him and sat in front of him on the cushion. Putting the first-aid box on the floor table, she gazed at Huo Jin.
"I will do it. Do not stress yourself upon this. It is a minor injury," Huo Jin replied with a smile.
"Minor injury?!" Yin Na scoffed and grasped his right hand lightly. She moved the sleeve up and saw how badly it had wounded. "See, it is such a deep wound. That's why blood flow has not stopped yet," Yin Na said worriedly and blew air over it.
"Are you planning to die from the blood loss?" She asked him as she looked at the wound.
"It is not a deep wound. I have received many bigger wounds than this," Huo Jin stated and attempted to pull his hand back, but Yin Na did not let it go.
They both gazed into each other's eyes.
"Brother Wang told me once that a wound is a wound. There is no big and small wound. Even the tiniest wound can affect you badly. So, every wound shall be treated," Yin Na stated and picked up the clean cotton cloth. "Now, it will sting a little. I will try to make it less painful," Yin Na said.
She wiped the blood from around the wound and looked at the water jar at the other table. She stood up and poured the water into a glass. Soaking the tiny piece of cloth in the water, she came towards Huo Jin and cleaned it.
She took a little white powder in her palm and spread it over his wrist. Yin Na found that Huo Jin did not wince in pain.
"Hmm. You indeed are a strong man like my Brother Wang," Yin Na praised him. "Or are you trying to suppress your cry?" She asked him and lifted her eyes to meet his gaze.
Huo Jin refused. "I am not suppressing any pain. It is a tiny wound," Huo Jin answered.
"Or you have borne so many wounds that you did not feel pain," Yin Na's statement amused Huo Jin. She was right. To become a great spy, he got countless wounds that his body stopped responding to the pain. Tan Gengxin used to take out his anger on him whenever he used to get angry or fail in something.
"What happened? What are you thinking?" She asked him, bringing him out of his thoughts.
"Nothing," Huo Jin replied. Yin Na hummed and took a clean bandage.
"I will wrap it around your wrist. This way it will heal quickly. The Doctor is not in the capital, so I could not give you the best treatment," she said. She brought his wrist close to her lips and blew air over it.
She put his hand down and passed a smile to him. "Brother Wang told me about your history a little. Not much," she said and started to wrap the bandage around his wrist.
"He told me that Huo Jin is a great person. He has a good heart," Yin Na said.
"General Wang said this," he was astonished to hear. "Other than this, he did not say anything?" He asked.
"He told a few things that you used to be a slave to someone, who had created a threat to the Empire. However, you helped the Crown Prince that time," Yin Na stated and tied the knot of the bandage.
She again gazed into his eyes and said, "It's tough to be a slave. You must have a tough life, that's why you have a tough body."
Huo Jin smiled a little. "I do not have a tough body. It is just it stopped responding to pain," he affirmed.
"General Wang will not be home for a few days. You know about this, right?" He asked her.
"Yes. Brother Wang is always busy at work," she said and started to close the kit.
"He is General, that's why. If you need something, do tell me without hesitation," Huo Jin asserted and looked at his wrist. "Thank you for this," he said and passed a smile to her.
Yin Na smiled back and stood up. The bottom of her dress got stuck in her toe and she fell forward.
"Ahh," she screamed and the next second she was on top of Huo Jin.
