Lang Ru knew that she was asking for too much, even if she was a young girl of around ten, she knew that her brother's injuries weren't something that could be easily dealt with, she pursed her lips and nodded. She could only hope that nothing happens to her brother and wish for his speedy recovery.

  She nodded her head and then glanced at her brother who was lying on the bed looking all frail and pale, she wanted to shake him awake like she always did when they were together and then bring him to play with her. But she knew that she couldn't do that and maybe if things don't go alright, she might never be able to ——

  Lang Ru shook her head, no ——she won't think about such things. Her brother was a good boy, he never even hurt a little bug there was no way God will be this cruel to him right?

  Right, the God wasn't blind and he would never do something as hurt an innocent.

  " Ruru?" called Lang as she looked over her shoulder and called to Lang Ru who was still staring blankly at Lang Hui. She knew that her daughter was worried about her brother but right now, they could do nothing except wait for Lang Hui to recover.

  Lang Ru pursed her lips and walked out of the room as she followed after her daddy. There was nothing else for her to do except wait with her daddy. It was stupid - really, stupid. Her brother was hurt and yet there was absolutely nothing they could do about it. She hated it, she hated this helplessness that she was feeling at the moment because of her weakness.

  If she was a bit powerful then she would have definitely taken revenge for her brother.

  Lang Ru clenched her fists tightly as she determinedly gazed at a far off space. In the future, she will definitely become someone whom no one can offend. This was a promise to herself as well as to her younger brother, she will one day become so powerful that everyone would think twice before offending her.

  While Lang Ru was undergoing a strange development, Yu Dong was trying her best to take care of Lang Hui's injuries. It was a difficult task with Lang Rui's injuries that were even more tedious to deal with in the absence of modern instruments. Now she was completely relying on her spiritual energy to heal Lang Hui which if someone were to ask her— how she was doing it? She would have replied to them that she was doing it through sheer willpower.

  There were many times when her concentration cracked and she almost made a mistake. But then Shen Li would pat on her shoulder and ask her to give this her all.

  " I will be removing the nail now," said Yu Dong after she was done removing the registered flesh around Lang Rui's wound on his back.

  The wound was more than three days old and if they had delayed it for another two or three days then Yu Dong was certain that the wound would have been infected by worms.

  " Press him down, " she further continued, though she gave Lang Hui an inflammatory medicine and even administered anaesthesia on him…… She was a bit worried since the dose was a lot less when compared to an adult.

  Yu Dong has never dealt with a child's injury before and thus, she was a bit nervous. And since Lang Hui was a child who was even less than ten years old, she hadn't given him a heavy dose instead she only gave it in a minimal amount just to make him pass out.

  But in case the dose wasn't the required amount then she was worried that Lang Hui might wake up in the middle of the extraction of the nail in his back.

  Shen Li and Ye Liu pressed Lang Hui's arms only then did Yu Dong scrape the flesh that was sticking around the nail before pulling it out. While she was doing this, Lang Hui frowned unconsciously and all of them paused taking abated breaths.

  But when they noticed that Lang Hui wasn't waking up, they continued with what they were doing.

  Taking the nail out wasn't a difficult task, but stopping the bleeding was —— Yu Dong had to instil a lot of spiritual energy in Lang Hui's body before the bleeding stopped a little.

  " Here, I have brought the medicinal paste!" the medicinal paste was made after finely grinding the herbs. Thus, it took a lot of time for Chen Mi and Fang Chi to grind it into a fine paste before they could bring it to Yu Dong.

  Yu Dong took one glance at the herbal paste and nodded before pointing at the whip marks that were on Lang Hui's back then she picked up a needle and disinfected it by heating it with the flame of the candle. Once she was done with disinfecting the needle, she carefully placed the thread in it and then took a deep breath.

  The needle pierced Lang Hui's skin at the same time a warm current flowed inside his body, when the hard needle pierced through the soft skin of Lang Hui, Yu Dong felt her heart quiver. Only now did she fully understand the pressure that was weighing on her shoulders, if she made one mistake then she would have to not only answer, Lang and Zhu Qian——

  She would never be able to forget the guilt that might press on her heart after that, Yu Dong licked her lips and then she stared at the wound that she was sewing, if this wound didn't fester, she could have healed it without this much of trouble ——

  " Apply the medicinal paste on his wound and wrap it well," said Yu Dong as she turned her attention to other injuries after she was sewed the wound on Lang Hui's back.

  One after another injury, Yu Dong treated them it was as if Lang Hui was a mismatched Frankenstein that she was trying to piece together. It was no different than that, Yu Dong wiped her sweat after she was done dealing with the last wound she could treat and then her attention turned to the most difficult part.

  The rest of Lang Hui's injuries were below his abdomen that was to say, below his pelvic area. As a woman, she couldn't see or touch Lang Hui there but she couldn't leave it to anyone else since the damage at the bottom of his body was the most severe.

  Whatever crushed Lang Hui was aimed right at his pelvic region. These injuries were what Yu Dong knew will cause the most trouble for her.

  Lang saw that Yu Dong has stopped treating her son and she panicked. What? What happened? Did something serious happen to her son? That even Yu Dong can't treat?

  Now, what was she supposed to do?

  " sister Yu, what's the matter?" asked Lang as she looked at Yu Dong with a nervous expression. If sister Yu Dong couldn't treat her son, then Lang was worried that she wouldn't be able to find anyone who can treat Lang Hui's injuries.

  Yu Dong pursed her lips and then looked at Lang who was looking at her with a nervous expression. " It's like this-" she circled Lang Hui's pelvic area with her finger in the air and explained, " This is where your son's injuries are the most severe, I would like to treat him but what do you have to say about it?"

  To her, Lang Hui was just a child but that wasn't the case for the people in this world. To them, a mer around the age of ten was just as much of an adult as those around the age of sixteen or eighteen.

  So, without Lang's permission, she wouldn't dare to touch Lang Hui just in case ——

  Just as Yu Dong expected Lang had a complicated expression on her face. She wanted Yu Dong to treat her son but at the same time, she was a bit hesitant. A woman seeing her son's private parts that was something that she wasn't alright with——/

  Just as Lang was thinking about what to do, Fang Chi chimed up from behind and spoke with a determination that no one was able to miss. " Sister Lang, I know what you are feeling at the moment but I think you should agree to Dong Dong treating your son, she is the only one who can help your son right now, if you were to go and look for a mer doctor in the town then the situation might become even more grave."

  Lang had a hard time digesting Fang Chi's words, the latter was certainly right. She didn't have the time to go and bring a mer doctor that was why she brought Lang Hui to Yu Dong and if she stopped Yu Dong now then ——

  " Please continue treating my son," said Lang with a complicated expression.
