Fortunate Wife Chapter 139

Chapter 139 – Wolf attack (4)

"It's really not a big deal . " Seeing her staring at him with teary eyes, Li Mo felt a bit flustered . It wasn't that he wanted to toss his life away . He had been confident of winning against the wolf in one swoop . However, he had lost his senses when he saw Li Man falling down here too . At that time, he didn't care about anything else . He had just dashed towards her, that's why he ended up being hurt by the wolf .

Li Man glared at him before hurriedly walking over to him and supporting his weight again . Li Mo wanted to take his arm back to show that he really was fine . However, when he tried to do this, she glowered at him . "You're still trying to act like a hero? You're already horribly injured . Come on, we have to hurry back and get a doctor . "

"Oh . " Li Mo pursed his lips and stayed silent .

As the two of them descended the mountain, Li Man's heart felt guilt-ridden, but also touched . She felt guilty that Li Mo had gotten hurt because of her and touched that Li Mo had considerately not asked her why she had wandered off .

Yes, she found the idea of a shared wife utterly preposterous . However, she couldn't blame anyone .  To begin with, she was merely a person that had died unjustly and took over someone else's body in this strange world . Perhaps, the original owner of this body had been happily living with this family of brothers, and she had ruined their happiness by coming here .

Still, please give her more time to digest this shocking information . She needed time to adapt . Perhaps, she would be able to accept her role at some point in the future, but it definitely wasn't right now .

Li Mo accommodatingly matched his pace to hers . As they slowly walked, his heart felt like a string stretched too far . Was she thinking about running away again? He couldn't tell for sure, but he didn't want to confirm his guess either . Right now, he felt that she was like a small rabbit that had suffered shock and needed protection .

“Oldest brother?" At this time, Li Shu had seen them and was sprinting to them from the bottom of the mountain . Behind him, Li Yan had also quickened his pace .

Li Man stiffened . She leaned closer to Li Mo as if she was cowering . Li Shu was a straightforward person . Would he ask her why she had left home? She hadn't thought of a good excuse yet .

“Oldest brother, you're hurt?" Fortunately, Li Shu's attention was focused on Li Mo's injury . He only briefly swept his gaze over Li Man before taking over the responsibility of supporting Li Mo . Then, he turned his head and quietly said, "Wife, let's go home . "

He didn't ask her any question either . Li Man felt sick at heart, but also warm . She assented and followed after them .

Li Yan's face was still bruised . He walked over to Li Man's side . Although he didn't say a word, she felt endless pressure .

When they returned home, Li Mo got onto the bed and faced his younger brothers' worried gazes . He didn't want to say too much, so he sent three of them away .

Li Shu went up the mountain to get the wolf's corpse . Li Yan went with Li Hua to get the doctor .

Little Five remained leaning on the bed and holding his oldest brother’s hand while choked up with sobs . He would cry every time his oldest brother came back home with injuries . Everyone else in the family was already used to it . It was only Li Man that felt so upset when she heard him crying that she wanted to cry too, especially when she saw how deep Li Mo's wound was . Her hands trembled .

"Take off your shirt . I'll wash the wound for you . "

Li Mo hastily refused . "It's okay . The doctor will treat it when he comes . " He was worried that the blood would scare her .

Li Man glared at him . She put a clean towel in warm water, then wrung out the excess water . "Even if the doctor comes, he won't clean your injury . "
