Chapter 49: What's There to Fear?

"·······."

The little wife spoke in a tone that sought to soothe him.

Gu Ya fell silent.

A big man like him was afraid of such little pain?

He was not a woman!

No delicate skin that couldn't bear the slightest pain.

"Yunjin, go ahead with the medicine. No need to hold back!"

Gu Ya meant he was not afraid of pain, yet when Su Yunjin applied the medicine to Gu Ya, she still lightened her touch as much as she could. Su Yunjin, seeing the swollen area on Gu Ya's back, first placed her hand there tentatively without moving it and felt Gu Ya's body tense up.

Su Yunjin asked, "Did I hurt you?"

"It's nothing!" Gu Ya said stiffly.

Clearly in pain, yet he claimed it was nothing. What a stubborn man, Su Yunjin chuckled inwardly, then continued to apply the medicine to Gu Ya. The ointment Mrs. Chu had sent was cool, and initially, Gu Ya felt a twinge of pain when his little wife touched the wound, but gradually, Gu Ya felt the pain lessen significantly.
