Chapter 40 Suturing the Wound

Noah was rendered silent by Luo Wei's forceful words, and had to admit that the ridiculous expectation deep in his heart was beginning to stir again.

He lowered his eyes, concealing the complex emotions within them, his curled eyelashes casting a fan-shaped shadow on his cheeks.

She acted so convincingly.

He desperately wanted to believe that her concern for him, just like her care for Lan, was genuine and heartfelt.

If she's just putting on an act to deceive him, I hope she can keep up the act for a while, otherwise he's not like he was when he was a child, and he won't let her off so easily now.

Noah decided to slightly modify his plan to get revenge on her. He smiled and revealed a shy boyish smile: "Alright then, I'll have to trouble you, sister."

Then, he let Luo Wei half-support and half-help him to the roadside, and used his personal terminal to call a nearby hovercar available for rent.

Soon, a small hovercar silently glided over, a common mode of transportation in the commercial area.

"Alright, let's get in the car." Luo Wei carefully helped him into the back seat of the rest cabin, and then she followed him in.

The nearest medical center is some distance away, and the civilian hovercar isn't very fast, so it will probably take some time.

Luo Wei saw that the fabric at the shoulder of his uniform was torn by the sharp edges of the display case, and large patches of dark red bloodstains spread out on the black lining inside, which was shocking.

She was genuinely worried about Noah's injuries and couldn't help but ask, "If you don't mind, could you take off your clothes so I can see your wound?"

Noah's heart suddenly raced, his pupils contracted, and he shrank slightly away from her. This time, the shyness he displayed as a young man was 60% genuine.

"No need, sister," he smiled at her apologetically, "the wound isn't pretty, don't let it offend your eyes."

Luo Wei, however, was still worried. She softened her voice, with a hint of coaxing, "Just let me take a look, okay? Otherwise, I'll feel guilty and keep worrying about you."

"Oh well."

With Noah's permission, Lori carefully reached out and unbuttoned Noah's uniform.

After Noah removed his dark uniform, the black lining was mostly soaked in blood, clinging tightly to his skin.

Fearing that it would reopen his wound, Luo Wei dared not lift it carelessly.

Noah didn't care and agreed to show her. When she stopped moving, he tore off the lining himself.

What immediately caught Luo Wei's eye was the boy's broad and firm back.

Large patches of purplish-blue bruises had spread across his back, looking as unsightly as spilled ink.

In the center of the bruise, there was a bloody gash, cut by a sharp object, leaving the flesh mangled.

Luo Wei's breath hitched. She had already guessed that Noah's injuries were serious, but seeing it with her own eyes, the impact was still far beyond her imagination.

She reached out, her fingertips trembling, avoiding the gruesome wound, and gently touched the edge of the bruises on his back.

The moment Noah's body was touched by her soft fingertips, it was as if he had been electrocuted, and the muscles around her fingers tensed up uncontrollably.
