My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

Nangong Jin comforted his wife, "It's not 'it won't hurt too much.' It doesn't hurt at all. I just feel numb all over."

After comforting his wife, he looked at Nuannuan in admiration and said, "If only you were here every time I got injured."

As a soldier--a soldier who had achieved countless military achievements--the number of times Nangong Jin had been injured could not be counted with one's fingers. Every time he went through surgery for his injuries, he would feel like a layer of his skin had been torn off from the pain. Even though he endured it every time and made everyone think that he was very brave, he was just an ordinary human. He was the only one who knew how much pain he went through.

Tears welled up in Mu Chenxiang's eyes when she heard Nangong Jin's words.

"Poppycock! Don't say such things."

Nangong Jin smiled at his beloved wife. His eyes were filled with tenderness as he replied obediently, "Alright, I won't say that anymore."

Nuannuan smiled. "Eldest Sister-in-law, don't worry. With me around, I won't let Eldest Brother suffer too much."

A smile finally cracked across Mu Chenxiang's face. "Okay."

When the tension eased, Mu Chenxiang could tell from Nangong Jin's expression that Nangong Jin was fine. She asked, "Nuannuan, what happened to Jin's injury? Have you found the cause?"

"Yes, I have."

The light in Nangong Jing's eyes darkened as he asked, "What happened?"

"Eldest Brother, there is an unknown bacteria in your wound. This bacteria is insensitive to the effects of anti-inflammatory drugs such as penicillin, cephalosporins, and ofloxacin. Therefore, even after five days of infusion, the bacteria in your body are still growing uncontrollably and will continue to fester. This has led to your unsubsiding high fever and your wound becoming pus."

When Mu Chenxiang heard Nuannuan's words, she could not help but feel nervous. Her grip on Nangong Jin tightened.

Nangong Jin listened quietly and calmly. Then, he rubbed his beloved wife's hand repeatedly with his thumb to comfort her.

"Then... is it possible to find a way to deal with the bacteria?" Mu Chenxiang looked worried.

No matter how tough Nangong Jin was, he could not stop himself from being injured by the bacteria. He had been running a high fever of 39 degrees and above for several days. If he continued to have this high fever, he would definitely have a huge problem in less than 10 days.

"Don't worry, Eldest Sister-In-Law. When Eldest Brother was undergoing his debridement surgery, I've already found a solution. The liquid that I'm giving Eldest Brother is the liquid that I just concocted."

Mu Chenxiang let out a sigh of relief instantly.

"That's great! Thank you, Nuannuan! Although you don't want me to thank you, I really do! If it weren't for you, Xu'er, Ling'er, and the Nangong family might have been in trouble. Without you, Jin wouldn't have been able to get out of this predicament so easily."

Before Nuannuan could speak, Nangong Jin pinched his excited wife and said, "We're family."

Nuannuan nodded immediately. "Yes, we're family. It's only right."

"Eldest Brother, take a rest. Your fever will subside by the time you wake up."

"Okay."

With his beloved wife and little sister watching over him, Nangong Jin felt very at ease. He was already used to the numbness in his body, so he did not feel any pain. He practically fell asleep after agreeing to Nuannuan's suggestion.

Nuannuan and Mu Chenxiang stayed in the room with Nangong Jin.

Nuannuan had been observing the situation of the unknown bacteria being destroyed after the liquid entered Nangong Jin's body. After seeing that the liquid went into Nangong Jin's bloodstream, the unknown bacteria were immediately killed in large numbers. Although the bacteria were still growing rapidly, the rate at which the new anti-inflammatory drugs were killing the unknown bacteria was clearly faster than the rate at which the bacteria were growing. Only then did Nuannuan relax.
