Sir, How About A Marriage

Disfigured

Song Ning echoed Xiao Peng’s words, “Only I’m not fine?” After a while, she added in a soft voice,

“That’s good…”

Song Ning comforted herself that her family was fine and gradually fell into a deep sleep. She was so

weak that she could fall asleep despite the pain that assaulted her body. Moreover, she felt more at

ease with Xiao Peng around.

…

When the car came to a stop, Song Ning did not wake up immediately. She only regained

consciousness when she heard the familiar noises that the wheels of the hospital bed made. When she

opened her eyes, she saw four nurses in masks carefully helping her onto the hospital bed before

wheeling her away. She cried out instinctively, “Xiao Peng!”

Xiao Peng immediately rushed to Song Ning’s side. “Sister, I’m here. Don’t worry. We need to examine

your injuries first. Don’t think about anything else for now and focus on healing…”

Once again, Song Ning was at the mercy of others. Fortunately, this time, it was the doctors and

nurses. When her clothes were cut open, she heard the nurses gasping. She said calmly in her hoarse

voice, “Is it very serious? If there’s anything just tell me. I’m a Chinese medicine doctor.”

She turned to look at the doctor standing next to her and said, “My injuries are very bad, right? It’s fine.

If there’s anything, you can just tell me.”

The doctor looked at her and said, “Your limbs and face are badly burned. Some of the burns on your

body are infected. The treatment will be very painful so you have to be mentally prepared.”

Song Ning nodded weakly.

…

When Song Ning woke up again, she was already in the ward. Her entire body was wrapped in

bandages. The searing pain was gone, but she could feel pressure on her body. She knew that the

feeling was from the compression garment she had to wear for her burns. She could not help but feel

relieved; at least the doctors here were reliable in their treatment.

She looked around her ward. It was much better than the one in N County. She looked out the window

and saw a lush and verdant tree outside. The colors of nature made her feel slightly at ease.

Song Ning turned to look at the door when she heard the sounds of light footsteps and saw Xiao

Peng’s childish face.

Xiao Peng was overjoyed. “Sister Ning Xia, you’re awake!”

Song Ning smiled, “Thank you, Xiao Peng.”

Xiao Peng’s eyes reddened as she shook her head and said, “Sister, the most important thing is to live

and be healthy. If you’re healthy, you can do whatever you want. Hence, no matter what happens, you

have to focus on healing. There’s no need to rush regarding other matters. We can solve them bit by bit

as long as you focus on getting better. Can you promise me that, Sister Ning Xia?”

Song Ning could tell something was amiss based on Xiao Peng’s grave tone. Nevertheless, she smiled Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

and said, “Pengpeng, you said that my family is fine, right? As long as they’re fine, I’ll be fine. Don’t

worry.”

Tears rolled down Xiao Peng’s face at this moment. She said, “In fact, Sister Yang Li is here as well.

She also narrowly escaped death. Both of you can talk. I’ll keep a lookout…”

Xiao Peng turned around and left. When she returned, she was pushing a wheelchair into the room.

The woman sitting in the wheelchair was wearing a veil; only her eyes were exposed. However, Song

Ning had no trouble recognizing Yang Li.

Xiao Peng gently pushed Yang Li to Song Ning’s side before she silently left.

The two women looked at each other.

After a moment, Song Ning called out softly, “Yang Li? Sister Li?”

Yang Li’s eyes reddened before tears brimmed in her eyes. She hurriedly raised her head to prevent

the tears from rolling down her face.

Song Ning looked at Yang Li, patiently waiting for Yang Li to calm down.

Yang Li inhaled deeply before she finally said, “Ning Xia, my face is disfigured. Don’t be afraid..”
