Chapter 386: Chapter 387: Leaving Only to Realize the Longing

Pei Huaian left on the third day, and Shao He was listless throughout, and she also moved out from the Fifth Prince’s residence, which was also to avoid others gossiping.

That day, as usual, she returned to the estate from Anji Hall and unexpectedly saw Ah Mo waiting, and she joyfully ran over to ask, "Where’s Pei Huaian?"

"The master has taken on a task and won’t be able to return until half a month later; he specifically instructed me to bring you a gift," Ah Mo handed it over.

Shao He opened it, finding a carved doll that was not just similar to her—it was identical.

Shao He held the doll, feeling a warm sense of comfort inside.

"Did he say anything else? Did he ask you to bring me a message?" Shao He asked again.

Ah Mo shook his head: "No!"

Shao He thought for a moment, put the item away: "I understand!"

Ah Mo smiled, turned, and took his leave.

That night, Shao He placed the doll by her pillow, closed her eyes to sleep, and the extraordinarily handsome yet slightly aloof face appeared in her mind...

The next morning when she woke up, Qingxia came in carrying clean water, and while tidying up the bed, she noticed the carved wooden doll by the pillow and pursed her lips, trying to suppress her laughter.

"Miss, would you like me to put the wooden doll away for you, or do you want to carry it with you?" Qingxia teased.

Shao He walked over, tapped her on the forehead, and took the wooden doll from her hands into her own embrace.

Continuing to jest, Qingxia said, "Who would have thought that a gift from the Fifth Prince could be so cherished by Miss, that she’d carry it on her person? If the Fifth Prince knew, he’d surely wish he could be that doll."

"You impudent girl, really need to be taught a lesson," Shao He said with her mouth, but she turned and sat down at the dressing table, allowing Qingxia to help her dress.

Today, she wore a long skirt embroidered with lotus flowers, paired with a red waistband, draped with an outer cloak of the same color scheme, and completed her look with a pair of white jade earrings, to her satisfaction.

"Miss, you look truly beautiful today," Qingxia sincerely complimented.

Upon hearing such praise, Shao He just gave a faint smile and sighed softly while looking at her reflection in the mirror.

After the morning meal, she took a carriage to Anji Hall.

Yun Qian was worried about Shao He, and had stayed in Anji Hall for consultations these few days.

Now, seeing her complexion somewhat improved, he finally felt reassured, saying, "Looking at your complexion today, it seems a lot better than before."

"Mm," Shao He said, a light smile hanging at the corner of her mouth, but in fact, she still felt somewhat hollow inside.

She didn’t know what sort of task Pei Huaian was on now, nor did she know his current condition.

All she could do was to protect the child and herself; only in this way could she allow him to be focused and concentrate on his matters.

At that moment, a man carrying a girl covered in blood came in, shouting continuously, "Make way."

"Save her, please save her, Doctor?" the man’s hands were covered in blood, the girl had a long wound on her forehead.

"What happened?"

"Her, her forehead, it’s cut open, all bloody, Doctor, you must save my daughter," the man cried and kept begging, even kneeling on the ground in plea.

Shao He led him with the child into the surgery room, then chased everyone out; the man kept gripping Shao He’s hand, crying, "You can ask me to do anything, but please do save my daughter!"

"I beg you."

"If you don’t let go now, your daughter will soon lose too much blood and fall into danger," Shao He said in an extremely cold tone.

She had already noticed that the girl had lost too much blood and had fainted; if the bleeding continued like this, it could become dangerous.

Only then did the man hurriedly let go.

Shao He entered the surgery room, taking out the necessary materials for surgery—disinfectant, anesthetic, scalpel, suture needle, and thread...

She quickly sutured the child’s forehead wound.

After everything was done, she finally removed the syringe.

Because the wound was too deep, she had to stitch it up once more.

Afterward, she took out a silver needle to stop the bleeding by puncturing several major acupoints around the girl, then fed her a medicine pill and glucose to replenish her strength.

Having done all this, she then checked the girl’s pulse, confirming the girl was not in immediate danger for the moment, before she fully relaxed her guard.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and stood up.

She opened the door and walked out, when the man saw her, he rushed over, "My daughter, my daughter..."

"The wound has been stitched up, but because the child is seriously injured, she should stay quiet for a short period, take care not to disturb the wound, and also take medication on schedule."

After Shao He finished instructing, the man hurriedly agreed.

"Thank you, thank you..." The man was tearfully grateful, and cautiously asked, "May I go in and see her now?"

"You can after she’s moved to another room. She should be observed tonight and can leave tomorrow."

"Alright, thank you, Doctor, thank you, Doctor."

Shao He waved her hand, took off her garments, and left to the yard, where she leaned against a large tree, breathing heavily with fatigue. She took out the doll from her bosom and suddenly felt it was heavy, somewhat oppressive.

She reached for her chest, feeling her heart rate quickening, as if some ominous premonition was setting in...

That evening, as the sky began to sprinkle with a fine rain, the pitter-patter echoed against the windows.

Shao He lay on her couch flipping through medical books when footsteps sounded from outside, followed by Qingxia’s voice: "Miss, how come you haven’t slept yet?"

Shao He rubbed her forehead and put down the book, saying, "I can’t sleep."

As the servant and master conversed, Qing Shan suddenly reported, "Miss, Princess Huimin has arrived for a visit; she awaits in the front hall."
