My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 154

Melanie bonked him on the head and chided, "You little rascal! How dare you make fun of me? Careful, I might tell your dad and ask him to teach you a lesson!"

"Please, Melanie! I'm sorry!" Shaun begged timely. Melanie chuckled, not commenting any further.

Lily went up to Loid and took his pulse. Confirming that his condition was stable, she produced her acupuncture needles and looked at him.

"Take off your clothes and lie with your face down."

Loid had been taking herbal medicine and medicated baths. The baths were very effective, having boosted his immunity by improving his physique. Although he was poisoned, the poison had yet to enter his organs. He only fell into a coma yesterday because he lost too much blood from the gunshot wounds.

At this point, he no longer needed herbal medicine. Acupuncture itself would do the work.

Loid lay on the bed obediently, and Lily gently inserted the needles into his body. Looking at their harmonious interaction, Melanie smiled.

"I just remembered that I have something to attend to. Lily, please take good care of Loid," she said, striding toward the door.

A pang of frustration shot through her when she saw Shaun and Daniel still planted in their seats.

"Aren't you guys leaving?"

Shaun was stunned. "Why should we? We're not busy after all."

Melanie itched to crack his head open and sift through his thoughts. Couldn't he tell that she was trying to let Lily and Loid spend some time together?

"Just leave when I tell you to. Why do you have so many questions?" Exasperated, Melanie dragged Shaun out of the ward.

"Rest if you're tired. You could take a nap beside me later, and I'll make sure not to let anyone disturb you." Loid felt sorry for her, but he couldn't find a better way to comfort her.

She didn't necessarily need any comfort due to her resilient nature.

"Alright," Lily concurred and remained silent.

Once she finished inserting needles into the acupoints on his back, she began working on his front. Two prominent gunshot wounds on his chest greeted her instantly once he turned around. Another wound was on his abdomen, and he had one on his waist as well. These were all fatal spots.

Lily faltered and stared at Loid. She drawled out, "You're really lucky." No one else but him could survive such injuries.

Loid smirked. "I'm only lucky because you're with me."
