Chapter 59: Matters of the Heart...Can't he just get along well with his brother?

"You hold him well, don't let him move!" The doctor held a tube of burn ointment and instructed Xu Hengzhou.

"Alright." Xu Hengzhou avoided the injured area and tightly embraced the child in his arms. He spoke to Xiang Chen, "Listen to the doctor, don't move, tell me if it hurts."

Earlier, when Xiang Chen was scalded by Wei Qiaowen, Xu Hengzhou had removed his upper garment, and seeing that the skin wasn't broken, he first applied cold water to the burn. Then, he found one of his thick jackets, wrapped it around Xiang Chen, and carried him to the hospital.

Xiang Chen, with red eyes, sat in Xu Hengzhou's arms. The burnt left shoulder throbbed with a burning pain. He clutched his brother's sleeve tightly, trembling involuntarily as the doctor applied ointment.

Xu Hengzhou furrowed his brows, gently holding Xiang Chen's balled-up little fist, soothingly saying, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt much. Brother is here..."

Xiang Chen sniffled, trying to hold back the tears about to fall immediately. He nodded, his voice tinged with a tearful tone, "Brother, it doesn't hurt. Don't worry."

Xu Hengzhou tightened his brows even more, feeling a pulsating ache in his heart. He regretted not reaching Xiang Chen in time to shield him from the scalding water. He harbored an even deeper resentment towards Wei Qiaowen.

The doctor applied a thick layer of ointment to Xiang Chen's burn. Other than a slight shiver from the pain, Xiang Chen didn't make any other movements. Compared to other children, he seemed unusually well-behaved.

"Not bad, quite obedient," the doctor commented as he closed the ointment, handing it to Xu Hengzhou. "Be careful when applying the ointment, make it thick. The blisters are small, try not to break them, and be cautious about infection."

Taking the ointment, Xu Hengzhou gently stroked Xiang Chen's back and asked the doctor, "Is there no need for bandaging? Are there any other precautions? How long will it take to heal?"

"No need." The doctor observed Xiang Chen's affected area again. "In his case, it's best to keep it ventilated. However, if he needs to go out, it's better to bandage it. I'll prescribe some bandages for you to take back. Make sure to apply the ointment generously. It's better to avoid contact with water usually. In about two weeks, there should be significant improvement. Continue applying the ointment, but you can reduce the frequency."

"Thank you." Xu Hengzhou silently noted in his mind, planning to wait for his uncle to come before bringing Xiang Chen back. Alone, managing the medicine and carrying Xiang Chen might risk touching his injured area.

"You're welcome." The doctor smiled and prepared to leave.

Xiang Chen, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "Uncle, will it leave a scar?"

He had just sneakily taken a look, and the blistered skin looked frightening. The scars from burns were also unsightly.

The doctor hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "Don't worry. You're still young, and your recovery ability is good. Listen to your brother, take care of the injury, and it will be fine."

"Thank you, Uncle," Xiang Chen whispered his gratitude, feeling relieved. He would definitely follow instructions and heal the injury as soon as possible.
