The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1259

Chapter 1259: 613 Outcomes (Two Updates)_3

"There was no pain like grinding bones," he said.

Gu Jiao replied, "Say that again after you’ve taken a few steps."

Indeed, Huangfu Xian was smacked in the face by reality.

The pain was too much, every step felt as if he were walking on the edge of a knife, at least the bone-grinding had been done with anesthetic.

Gu Jiao figured that half of his pain was psychological, which was somewhat normal.

On the first day of official rehabilitation, which was focused on acclimation, Gu Jiao didn’t let him train for too long, not even half a "shi chen" before she had him sit back in the wheelchair.

By then, Huangfu Xian’s body didn’t have a single dry spot.

"Young Master, I’ve prepared the hot water," Lianlian said with a smile as she came out of the house after they had finished practicing.

Huangfu Xian looked at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao said, "Go take a bath, don’t catch a cold."

"Hmm," Huangfu Xian nodded.

Gu Jiao turned to go back to her place, but Huangfu Xian suddenly called out to her, "Doctor Gu, thank you."

Gu Jiao nodded her head.

Gu Jiao left the backyard of her uncle’s house and entered her own backyard to find her aunt sitting in the corridor.

Standing from her aunt’s point of view and looking towards the rehabilitation area, Gu Jiao immediately understood what her aunt had been watching just now.

"Not playing cards?" Gu Jiao asked with a curved lip.

"Hmph, I’m going now," the Dowager Empress said with her chin up and walked out, "Liu Cuihua! We’re one short!"

The Dowager Empress was in good spirits today and had let her card-playing neighbors win, allowing them to lose less money.

Gu Jiao returned to her east room.

Xiaobao had not gone to his lessons today; he had gone to play with Princess Xinyang earlier and now ran in with a few small tufts on his head, calling out, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao!"

Gu Jiao looked back at him.

He presented his little head to Gu Jiao, "Jiaojiao, look!"

Gu Jiao tousled his small tufts, "Looks nice."

In a few more months, he could have a small bun on his head.

Xiaobao was both happy and shy, "The princess did it for me!"

Gu Jiao praised, "She did it very well."

Xiaobao said, "Jiaojiao."

Gu Jiao replied, "Hmm?"

"That... that..." Xiaobao looked down and fiddled with his fingers, "Is there any more of that really tasty thing?"

He had given both bottles he found to Princess Xinyang and immediately regretted it, knowing he should have kept one for himself.

Gu Jiao organized the first aid kit, "What tasty thing?"

Xiaobao began to peek into the first aid kit, "Blue, sour and sweet."

Gu Jiao understood, "Calcium supplement oral solution, huh? There’s none left."

That had only appeared twice before disappearing completely.

Xiaobao was disappointed; looking at the first aid kit that really didn’t have the blue bottles, he asked puzzled, "Why were there only two this time? Weren’t there a lot before?"

Now it was Gu Jiao’s turn to be puzzled. The oral solution came in boxes, with ten bottles per box; where did he get the idea of just two bottles?

"It’s just... it’s just..." Xiaobao scratched at his tufts and finally told Gu Jiao about finding blue bottles under a bed.

Gu Jiao was absolutely certain that there had never been any calcium oral solution in her first aid kit during these days; if it wasn’t some blue fluid, the only possibility was "Fantasy No. 1"!

Gu Jiao asked Xiaobao which day he found it, and Xiaobao said it was the day they sent the baby away.

Gu Jiao paused, "Was it sent to Princess Xinyang, or sent back to his parents?"

"She left." _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
