Chapter 1204 — Distracting Attention
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Healed! All healed! I can finally stand and walk! Haha!" Tang Jucheng was truly happy, and proud too, to have a son-in-law as capable as Wei Zhao! From a poor, down-and-out family in the shantytown to this comfortable home they had now—it was all Wei Zhao's doing!
Most important of all, Wei Zhao doted on his daughter, and that was what gladdened Tang Jucheng the most.
Kang Xiaofeng's excitement was, in truth, excitement on Xiaofen's behalf as well. If Tang Jucheng's legs could be healed, then Xiaofen's legs were surely saved too!
"Xiaobo, take Xiaofen to the bedroom," Wei Zhao said with a smile, looking at Kang Xiaofeng's agitation.
"Boss... aren't you going to rest a while?" Anxious as he was, Kang Xiaofeng knew Wei Zhao had just healed Tang Jucheng's legs and must be weary; surely he ought to rest a little first?
"It's fine. Look at you, so impatient—I doubt you can wait." Wei Zhao laughed.
"Heh heh... it's not that..." Kang Xiaofeng was a little embarrassed, but he still took Xiaofen into the bedroom.
"Uncle Tang, you walk around a bit on your own. Go slowly and you'll be fine. I'm going to see to Xiaofen," Wei Zhao said to Tang Jucheng.
"All right, don't worry about me, go do what you need to do!" After a few more turns, Tang Jucheng had gradually mastered the trick of applying force; the more he walked, the more nimble he became. Then again, these legs were his own, so they were easy enough to control; he had hardly needed any practice before he was walking well.
This also owed to his earlier recovery training. Limping though he had been, the muscles of his legs had regained their strength, and so now he was so adept.
Entering the bedroom, Wei Zhao looked at Xiaofen and found himself in something of a quandary! Many of the nerves of the leg are concentrated at the base of the thigh. Treating Tang Jucheng had been no problem—he was a grown man, and a pair of undershorts would do; before Wei Zhao and his own daughter there was no need for much modesty.
But Xiaofen was different. She was a girl, and she and Wei Zhao had no particularly intimate relationship. Asking her to sit there in her underwear before him would be putting her in an awkward spot.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Seeing Wei Zhao frown, Kang Xiaofeng assumed he was tired, and hurried to say, "Boss, take a rest, it's all right. Now that we have the medicinal liquid in hand, isn't Xiaofen's recovery only a matter of time? No need to rush!"
"No, Xiaobo, you've misunderstood." Wei Zhao waved a hand. "During the treatment she'll have to take off her trousers and wear only her underwear. Xiaofen is a girl—wouldn't that be rather inconvenient?"
"Boss, is that what's bothering you? What of it? You're the doctor now, and Xiaofen is the patient. Before a doctor, never mind just underwear—even completely undressed, it makes no difference!" Kang Xiaofeng said earnestly. "Besides, Boss, you're someone I trust. And Sister-in-law Tang Zhi is so beautiful, and she's right there watching. I know you could never have any other thoughts about Xiaofen!"
