Hiss.
She felt a sharp pain when her torn knee came into contact with the alcohol. She only took a deep breath initially, but she endured it and did not make a sound. Then, she used a cotton swab to wipe the wet stains near the wound.
Qiao Nian nimbly disinfected her wound and applied medicine. She even used gauze to tie up the larger areas.
However, she tied it very casually to prevent the wound from rubbing against the fabric of her clothes. She did not treat it as carefully as a medical professional.
By the time Qiao Nian was done, over an hour was already gone.
For the past hour or so, she had been relying on herself to endure the pain. She had never cried out that she was tired or in pain.
Qiao Nian had just finished treating her wound and had yet to pull on her bathrobe when the phone screen on the desk lit up. Ye Wangchuan was calling.
She quickly pulled up her bathrobe to cover the gauze and walked to the window to answer the call.
"Hey."
No one could tell from her tone that she was injured.
Ye Wangchuan turned on the video and saw that her hair was still wet and hanging on her shoulders. There was nothing strange about it. "I heard from Gu San."
The moment Qiao Nian saw his call, she knew that he must have heard from Gu San about what happened at the entrance of the First Research Institute. "It was an accident."
Her knee was still a little painful when she walked. Qiao Nian subconsciously frowned slightly but quickly relaxed. "I’ve already taken care of it."
To her, it was just a microexpression.
Very few people noticed the changes in Qiao Nian’s expression, and Ye Wangchuan was one of them.
Seeing Qiao Nian walking slower than usual, he realized she might be injured.
However, he did not expose her. Instead, he went along with her. "Do you know who’s behind this?"
Qiao Nian sat by the bed and paid attention to the angle of her cell phone so he would not see the medicine on the desk.
