Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“What about you guys?”

“Our life belongs to you. So, we’ll dedicate our lives to you,” Maxi said. “Monica and I will give it our very best to make her stay until the very end. We will sacrifice ourselves to fulfill her demands and to repay to you.”

Black Rose was really moved. “You guys are so… very loyal.”

Maxi lowered her head. “You are like our mother. We are willing to contribute for you.”

Her every word was filled with loyalty and sincerity. It was as if she was brainwashed. She was passionate and very loyal.

“Would Monica agree to this?”

“She will,” Maxi said. “She loves me.”

“Right. She loves you, and she would even die with you.”

Maxi smiled.

“Shen Qianshu won’t fall for it so easily.”

“Don’t worry. I will teach her a good lesson.”

Black Rose said, “Tell her the things regarding Black Rose as soon as possible and let her know what’s important and what’s not.”

“Yes!”

When Shen Qianshu woke up, it was pitch black outside. The ocean breeze whistled.

The only source of light in the room was an oil lamp, so it was not very bright. She had a high fever, and a slim lady was giving her medicine. She was going to give her injections. Shen Qianshu grabbed her wrist.

“What are you injecting me with?”

“You’re having a fever,” Maxi said. “You need to inject this medicine that will stop your fever.”

I don’t need it.” Shen Qianshu could feel her own body heating up. She was really warm, but she could resist it. Who knew what was really in that syringe? She looked at Maxi vigilantly. This was a youth that made others feel distanced from.

“You are very careful. That’s good, but don’t joke around with your health,” Maxi said. Thinking in Qianshu’s shoes, Maxi would not let just anyone else inject something into her body like that. What if it was poison?

Maxi said, “Black Rose still needs you to be her puppet. She won’t kill you.”

“She would use poison to control me.”

“As a doctor, I swear that this is medicine that helps with your fever.” Maxi cursed inwardly. She should have injected it into her earlier. It seemed like there was no chance for her to do so now. Shen Qianshu would not let Maxi touch her. What a… waste.

This is really for your fever, sis.

“What doctor? Do you have a license?”

Maxi said, “I… really don’t have one.”

She had not graduated.

But soon enough, she would.

Maxi looked at her. Shen Qianshu’s fever was really bad. Her body temperature was already 38.7 degrees celsius. “Miss Shen, you know, under such circumstances, if I force this needle into you, you can’t refuse at all.”

Shen Qianshu’s face did not change at all. She did not even feel threatened.

Maxi said, “Even if you struggle and my experience is not very rich, it only takes a few seconds for me to finish giving you the injection. I will be able to get it done quickly. If you don’t take the injection and continue to have such a high temperature, your fever might be gone in a few days. If you are unlucky, your wound might get inflamed. You have to be injected with anti-inflammatory substances. With your high sense of vigilance, you may resist it, and the wound will be rotten. Your surgical wounds are very big, and your immunity level is already originally weak. If the wound is inflamed and you refuse to treat it, the wound will fester, and pus will ooze out of it. When you look down, you can see a piece of festered meat on your tummy. The wound will smell disgustingly bad. The temperature on the island is high, and there are many poisonous insects. They will find their way onto your body, which is suitable for breeding all kinds of bacteria. Your wounds will quickly rot, and soon, you will see fats and wounds filled with pus. The light yellow fat mixes together, and its stench can spread out for one kilometer. It will give off the smell of rotten flesh…”

The youth spoke to her the entire time with an expression that serious lecturers would use solemnly. She told her about the after-effects of not getting that injection.
