Ming Mei spoke, "I'm alright now, except my head hurts from being hit."
Having not drunk water all night, Ming Mei's mouth was very dry, making her voice extremely hoarse.
Kang Chen quickly poured a glass of water and carefully fed Ming Mei.
After all, Kang Chen had never taken care of anyone, and when feeding Ming Mei water, she swallowed less than he spilled. Kang Chen then picked up a towel and gently wiped her clean.
"Are you hungry? Is there anywhere else you feel unwell?"
While lying down, Ming Mei's body was slightly stiff. She shifted a little to adjust her position, licked her lips, and said, "Why are you suddenly treating me so gently? Have you... done something to wrong me?"
Kang Chen nodded, kissed Ming Mei's forehead, and said, "I didn't protect you well yesterday. I shouldn't have left you alone in the pavilion. I'm sorry."
What happened last night was a lesson for Kang Chen.
He could never leave Ming Mei alone again. He couldn't afford the risk of losing her.
