Florence was stunned and then quickly pulled herself together. She finally realized how shameful her posture was when she saw the astonishment on the doctors’ faces.
“I…I… It’s not what you think.”
Flustered, Florence let go of Ernest and jumped down the bed.
Her face was so red as if it was about to drip blood at the next moment. And she lowered her head and was ready to run towards outside.
It would be really embarrassing if these doctors thought that she wanted to rape Ernest by taking advantage of Ernest’s serious injuries.
“Don’t leave.”
Ernest grabbed Florence’s wrist to stop her.
He didn’t use too much strength, but Florence still stopped because she was afraid that Ernest’s wound would be opened again.
She said with a crimson red face, “You shall change the medicine first. I.. I will wait outside.”
She felt very embarrassed to stay in the ward.
Ernest didn’t let go of her; instead, he ordered the doctors, “Bandage her finger first.”
The attending doctor immediately walked towards Florence and looked towards her hand, “Miss, please give me your hand…”
He was interrupted before he could finish his words.
Ernest held up Florence’s hand and then small wound that was cut by the fruit knife was exposed.
Er… It only needed a band aid. Was it necessary to bandage it?
Mr. Hawkins, wasn’t your wound more serious?
Seeing that the doctor was absent-minded, Ernest urged him impatiently, “Can’t you hurry up?”
The doctor was rendered speechless. This wound was really small and was it necessary to ask him, an attending doctor, to treat it?
“All right, I will help this miss bandage the wound right now.” The doctor then waved his hand to gesture the nurse to push a nursing cart forwards and then said to Florence, “Miss, please sit down, I will bandage your wound.”
Florence felt helpless. Seeing that Ernest was quite resolute, she realized that he would only treat her own wound after making sure that the cut on her finger was bandaged. But there was much more blood on his arm.
Florence glanced around the other doctors in the ward and said, “Can you have a look at Ernest’s wound. The wound on his arm opened.”
As Ernest was so noble, his wound, including the change of medicine, was treated by the professional attending doctor.
Although the other doctors were all famous and authoritative doctors in other aspects of medicine, but they were responsible for different aspects and seldom overstepped the boundaries in usual times because they wanted the treatment to have a maximum result.
But the attending doctor had to treat Florence’s wound now…
They took a glance at each other hesitantly.
Ernest pointed at a doctor casually and said, “You, please come over and bandage the wound for me.”
The doctor was stunned. He was a neurologist. Although he was also professional in bandaging the wounds, he was not a top-class profession in this after all. Was he qualified to treat Ernest’s wound?
But since Ernest had given the order, he didn’t have the guts to refuse it.
Under the great pressure, the doctor walked forward and began to treat Ernest’s wound.
Florence’s wound was not serious and it was simply a one-or-two-centimeter long cut. Generally, such a wound could be stanched by a napkin and then one should simply stick a band aid on it.
But now, the attending doctor treated it like he was treating a serious injure. He disinfected it again and again and went through all the procedures for treating wounds carefully and delicately.
Moreover, the doctor was so professional that Florence even felt no pain.
No wonder that they were Ernest’s exclusive medical team – they were really professional in medicine.
Florence paid less attention to her wounded finger and paid attention to Ernest’s condition with worries and concerns. Ernest’s cloth was then taken off and his body that was covered with bandages was exposed. Florence’s heart missed one beat when she saw the scene.
She even didn’t dare to imagine how serious the wounds covered by the bandages were.
Not only the wound on his arm was opened, even the gauze bandage on his back was tinged with blood.
