The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1045 - Chapter 1045 1045

Chapter 1045: 1045 Chapter 1045: 1045 Xiao Yuchuan wasn’t too insistent, pulled a stool over to the bed, and placed the bowls of medicine and porridge onto the desk.

Although Xiao Qinghe had injured one wrist, his other hand was unharmed, and despite being weak, he had no problem holding a spoon with one hand to take his medicine.

He drank the medicine very slowly.

Xiao Yuchuan didn’t urge him, but stood coldly to the side, his expression icy.

An hour passed before he finished both the medicine and the porridge.

Yuchuan looked at Qinghe’s wrist injury, now seeping blood, “Does it not hurt?”

He shook his head, “I can’t feel the pain, perhaps because the pain in my heart far exceeds the pain from the wound on my wrist.”

Xiao Yuchuan unwrapped the gauze that bandaged his hand, and he gently scraped off the crusted medicine on the wound with the thin bamboo pieces from the medicine box beside the bed, prepared from yesterday.

He replaced it with fresh wound medicine and rebandaged it, “Don’t move this hand, take good care of it for some time, the wound is deep.

If it doesn’t heal well, the whole hand will be useless.”

“Would third brother care?” His eyes, calm as water, stared at Xiao Yuchuan, and there was a cold light within them, “If you cared, why would you have drugged me?”

Yuchuan knew he was referring to the wedding day incident when he had given Qinghe Soft Muscle Powder, “If I hadn’t drugged you, what would you have done?”

Xiao Qinghe stopped talking.

“Could you have simply watched Qingyue getting married to me?” Xiao Yuchuan asked in a tone devoid of warmth.

“I couldn’t.” Qinghe chuckled, “Even if at that moment I had to spill my blood over your wedding, even if I couldn’t stop it, even if I had to plunge a knife into my own chest, I couldn’t just stand by and watch Qingyue marry you.”

“From the moment I heard you desperately begging Qingyue to reconsider in the pharmacy, I knew there would be variables that are hard to predict,” Xiao Yuchuan said coldly, “And so, I drugged you in advance.

You can’t bear to watch her marry me, and I…

I won’t allow anyone to ruin my wedding with her.

Including you!”

“Third brother, I still underestimated how ruthless your heart can be towards your siblings,” Qinghe sighed lowly, “I deserve it, don’t I.”

“Fourth Brother!” he cried out in anguish.

Gazing at his elder brother with a ghastly pale face, there was a plea in his eyes, “Third brother, you’ve always doted on me.

You’ve doted on me all my life.

Third brother, I really can’t lose Qingyue.

Can’t you let her be with me?”

Xiao Yuchuan’s body stiffened, and his clenched fists betrayed the fury he was repressing.

After a long pause, his voice squeezed through his teeth, “Qingyue is not an object to be passed around.”

“How could she be an object?

I value her more than my life…” He began to explain hurriedly, his breath even catching, and he started coughing.

Xiao Yuchuan’s voice was filled with deep pain, “You value her more than your life, but what about me?

Qingyue has settled into my heart, into my bones, merged with my blood and my soul.

How can you ask me to let go?

It’s not just about letting go, the mere thought of losing her has left me feeling hollow to the point of preferring death over such loss.

Even in death, I would not wish to lose her.

Fourth Brother, I can only apologize to you.”

Xiao Qinghe’s pale face sported lips curved into a smile that couldn’t mask the pain within.

Xiao Yuchuan had no further words to say, only, “Take good care of your injury.”

“You will not relinquish Qingyue, and I…

will never let go,” he slumped back against the bedhead, his body weak and frail, yet the look in his clear eyes was filled with unwavering determination.

Su Qingyue stood in the yard, bathed in the autumn sun.

The warmth should have felt comforting, yet she couldn’t feel a trace of its warmth.
