Chapter 807
When the doctor peeled the gauze off, the wounds were already recovered, so more dressing was unnecessary.
Adina looked at the wounds in the mirror. They did not look as disgusting as she imagined, but the wound on the left cheek recovered much better.
She gently touched her right cheek. It did not sting like the night before.
She asked, “My right cheek gets into sudden pangs of pain, but this won‘t happen to my left cheek. What is going on?”
The doctor carefully examined the wound. “The trauma on the right is bigger and deeper. It‘s recovering, so you will feel stinging pain. You must not scratch it with your hand so that the wound won‘t be infected again.”
“Is there no way to get rid of the pain?” Adina asked again.
The situation last night seemed to happen after her right cheek was in stinging pain and her mind went blank.
Duke also said, “Can you prescribe some painkillers?”
The doctor advised them solemnly, “Painkillers are usually taken after a major illness or surgery. For this level of trauma, it‘s not suitable to take something with
significant side effects like this. Actually, the pain caused by wound healing is considered primary pain, and it‘s completely bearable.”
The doctor babbled for a long while, and his hidden meaning was that Adina could not bear the pain.
She also thought that she had made a fuss over a small problem, so she helplessly said, “I won‘t take it, then. I‘ll just bear it and get through.”
Duke held her tightly. He whispered to her, “When you feel pain, just pinch me. I can share half the pain with you when I’m also in pain.”
Adina chuckled due to amusement. “Okay, I‘ll pinch you next time. You‘re not allowed to cry out in pain.”
After the two of them left the hospital, Duke insisted on taking Adina to a plastic surgery institution.
Regardless, they would need to go there one day, so Adina did not refuse.
She stood at the entrance of the parking lot and waited for Duke to drive over.
