Chapter 188 The Wounded Severus
Chapter 188 The Wounded Severus
"Why did you come here when you're so tired today?" Severus dried his hair, pulled me, who was sitting on his bed, into his arms, and took a deep breath of me. The scent of blue roses was truly captivating to him.
“I haven’t seen you for the whole holiday, I missed you.” I hugged Severus’s waist, rested my head on his shoulder, and took a deep breath of Severus’s scent, which I liked, after he had just taken a shower. This was my Severus.
“Me too.” Severus had never really thought that the two of them needed to see each other every day; being clingy with one person was just not in his nature.
But when he left the person he was holding in his arms, he thought about him all the time.
Especially when she saw that the clothes she was wearing were chosen by him, and the items she was using were all chosen by him.
When everything in his life bore his shadow, he missed him terribly.
Without saying a word, Severus pulled me close and kissed my alluring lips with his eyes closed.
Our lips touched gently, as if we were exploring each other's world.
Unexpectedly, Severus was so proactive this time.
His lips were soft and warm, and I parted my lips slightly to respond to his kiss.
Our kisses grew more and more passionate, as if we wanted to merge into each other's bodies.
My hand gently moved up his back until it touched his freshly washed, smooth hair, while his hand gripped my clothes tightly.
Our bodies were pressed tightly together, feeling each other's heartbeats and breaths.
At that moment, we seemed to forget everything and focus only on kissing and embracing each other.
Our kiss lasted a long time, until we were both out of breath.
We slowly parted, our eyes filled with love and contentment.
I gently stroked his cheek, and he smiled at me.
“Ayers, I miss you so much,” he whispered.
“Severus, I miss you too,” I replied.
We hugged each other tightly again, enjoying this happy moment.
"Was he injured when he went out alone this time?" Thinking that Severus had gone out alone, she wondered if he had encountered any danger.
When I suddenly asked him if he was injured, Severus suddenly stiffened.
With my particularly sensitive senses, I immediately noticed that something was wrong with him.
"Where are you injured? Let me see." Knowing that he was injured, I hugged him much more gently around the waist.
"It's not a serious injury. I can make a batch of potions tomorrow and it will be fine." Severus grabbed my hand, which was trying to take off his clothes to check him, and stopped me from doing so.
"I have medicine to treat all kinds of injuries here. Let go so I can check you out, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight." I held onto the belt of his pajamas with both hands, waiting for him to release his grip on my hands.
"Whatever." Severus knew he couldn't argue with me, so he resigned himself to letting me examine his wounds. He then lay down on his bed, covering his eyes with his arm; he didn't want to see what was happening.
I gently loosened the belt of his bathrobe around his waist. I looked at his injured body with heartache and gently stroked the bandaged wound around his waist.
Only now did I notice that his face was slightly pale, as if he had lost too much blood, and his brows were tightly furrowed, clearly indicating that he was enduring great pain.
I carefully unwrapped his bandages, revealing the injured area.
The wound was on his waist and abdomen, about a few centimeters long. Perhaps the bandage had gotten wet, because fresh blood was seeping out again.
I took an oversized suitcase out of my backpack.
I took a clean gauze from the box and gently wiped the blood around the wound, trying my best not to cause him pain.
"Does it hurt?" I asked softly.
He gritted his teeth and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt, you can continue."
I knew he was enduring the pain so I wouldn't worry. "Just bear with the pain a little longer. I need to apply some white daffodil to it so the wound will heal faster."
Inside the box, on the innermost layer, was a pile of state-of-the-art treatment supplies. Actually, I got these from System Night.
How could I not get injured when practicing magic? This is a complete healing kit I prepared for myself.
I carefully treated the wound with a cotton cloth, cleaned it with disinfectant, and then applied some white peony root extract.
"Hiss~" The sting of the white cinnabar potion was quite painful for Severus, who was rarely injured.
"I should have gone with you this time when you went out to find the materials all by yourself." Feeling Severus's slight trembling in pain, she knew how painful the application of the medicine was.
I blame myself for not going with him or preparing some protective gear for him; he ended up like this after I went out on my own.
I'm speechless, both at him and at myself; I'm heartbroken.
Finally, I bandaged the wound with gauze and tied a knot.
"Okay, how are you feeling?" I asked.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Much better. Sorry to have worried you, Ayers."
I looked him in the eyes and said to him with great displeasure, "You're not allowed to hide your injury from me like that next time. Since you're already injured, I won't hit or scold you. Just let me treat your wound." If I hadn't asked casually, I wouldn't have known he was injured.
I was holding him just now; I can only imagine how much pain he was enduring.
He nodded and said, "I just didn't want you to worry."
"How could someone as smart as you have imagined that I'm so fragile?"
I carefully tied his robe and pulled the blanket over his bed.
I lay down next to him and pulled the blanket over myself.
"Go to sleep. Your wound got wet. I don't know if you'll get a fever tonight. I'll stay here and take care of you. The wound has been treated with medicine, and it should be better by tomorrow." I lay down next to him and kept talking.
“Ayers, has anyone ever told you that you can be a bit long-winded at times?”
Is this a new way for Severus to criticize people?
"What's wrong? You're disgusted? Let me tell you, Severus, if you hide anything again, I have plenty of ways to punish you," I said to Severus with a smile.
"Yes, I won't do it again next time." Severus truly believed that I meant what I said, so he dared not act recklessly.
I pulled the blanket up a little more for him, stared at him, and waited for him to fall asleep.
Severus obediently closed his eyes and went to sleep, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
I know that what he needs most right now is my company and care. I will stay by his side until he is fully recovered.
