The wound on Wendy’s let is getting worse day by day, unlucky, she can’t walk on one day morning! Daisy cries and wants to call Doctor Zhuge here. But Wendy disagrees, “No need, Daisy, I can treat myself.” She says with her pale chapped mouth. She knew this would happen a few days ago…
She used to test the needles on her body, particularly on those special acupuncture points, which can supply the blood function. She tried every point by the needles, that’s why her wound wouldn’t be able to recover itself. That’s why this result happened today. For now, she only has one last acupuncture point left, which can cure Sung’s legs if it works well! This one is around the knee, the edge of her wound. And this one has frozen Sung’s nerve on his legs, it stopped the normal blood function. If she can make it work again, then Sung can be treated!
However, this point is very dangerous. It may cause congestion, then leads to massive haemorrhage. Without a high degree of medical skill, no doctor would touch this part. So Wendy is afraid to try on herself, she doesn’t want to die again! She heard about Sung broke her wheelchair, she worried him a lot. He must be angry with his disabled. Wendy thought. Chen and Daisy don’t want her wound to get worse, so they ask Sue to find Doctor Zhuge secretly.
Zhuge stays with Sung every single day. After Sung broke his wheelchair, he couldn’t go out anymore. He feels terrible. With Zhuge’s company, he can be not bored at least. For Zhuge, he has more patients now in his clinic due to the season changing. Many people get sick in the town. He has no choice to hire more doctors for him in the clinic. “Do you want to have a small visit to my new clinic?? You have never been there before, Sung.” Zhuge suggests, he considers maybe Sung will feel better if he sees other sick patients there. Sung doesn’t respond, he worries he will feel shit when he sees those unfortunate people. Despite they are friends for such a long time, Zhuge doesn’t understand him well sometimes. “Ok, let’s go!” Sung agrees in the end, he doesn’t want to disappoint his dear friend who looks after him every day.
The moment they left, Sue came by. She doesn’t see Zhuge, so she goes to find other doctors in the palace. Soon, Sue is back with a doctor, but Wendy doesn’t let him check. “Well, Princess, please let him check! We really worry about you! Look, you are bleeding again…” Chen gets panic when Wendy refuses to get treated. The doctor is shocked as well, he thought Wendy had recovered a long time ago. “My dear Royal Princess, please let me check. If you still bleed, that’s not a good sign.”
Wendy raises her voice, “I just catch a cold, I’m fine. Please give me some antipyretic medicines, doctor.” The doctor looks serious now, “Please my Princess, this is abnormal. You have a fever now with bleeding.” He scares if something happens then he will be blamed. Wendy orders again with a mad tone, “As I said, I just need some antipyretic medicines! Enough!”
The doctor nods, he doesn’t dare to provoke her. Besides, she is sick, he better listens to her. He doesn’t prescribe for her, because he can’t confirm her disease. So he goes to Sung, while he’s not there. Then he moves to Princess Lacey. She gets surprised when she hears from the doctor. She sneers then asks her people to catch one maid from Wendy to ask. It’s her perfect chance now to make some fuss, with the doctor’s supporting. Then Sung will definitely lose interest on Wendy!
Wendy kicks Daisy and Chen out and starts to treat herself by needles. Her temperature gets high now, she feels like floating in the air. She plunges seventeen needles on her knees, nonstop. Then she plunges the last one on that dangerous point, without hesitation! The blood is like flood, running up from the bottom to her head. As the riverbank is crushed by the Atlantic Ocean. She’s very thoughtful, she has wound, so she prepared a piece of cloth, tied on her knee to stop the bleeding! She feels dizzy now. She uses her last strength to call Chen or Daisy to help her for the last procedure! Unexpected, all her people are brought to the torture room for investigation… No one with her right now, she sees dark in front of her vision. Then her body falls into the deep dark water…
“Wendy! Hey, why you didn’t cherish yourself? If you didn’t try so hard on testing yourself, nothing would be happened like today! Your wound would be recovered sooner or later… Silly girl, I love your character, so reckless and passion. And I have saved you many times… Wendy, this time you must save yourself. I had put a miraculous cure in your body, it could help you handle for a while. That’s it. I hope your Mr. Right shows up and saves you this time.” The familiar sound echos around Wendy’s head, with sadness.
Wendy asks in her coma, “Wait, who is Mr. Right?” She feels exhausted, her energy has gone. Soon, the darkness devours her… “Hey, do you feel better now?” She wakes up, feeling sore on the throat. She can’t move that much, all her limbs like marshmallows, soft and lose. She opens her eyes, Zhuge stares at her with sorrow.
“Did you save me?” Wendy says with her dry throat, then she memorizes the sound before she faints.
“I told you before you didn’t need to push yourself that hard.” Zhuge says with his gentle anxious voice. “I’m fine now, thank you.” Wendy puts a weak smile on her face. Zhuge asks the maids to help her up and feed her some medicines. It’s not easy to swollen she knows, though she has nothing left in her stomach. She tries her best to drink it then she gets a chance to survive. After then, she finishes the whole nauseated soup. She closes her eyes, feeling those medicines stirring in her stomachs and ready to run out any minute…
“Where are my maids?” She asks Zhuge. Zhuge sighs, “They all get punished and closed in the torture room. All because of you!” Wendy is in panic, she grabs his clothes, “What, why? They have nothing to do with it! Let them go, please!” She knows how cruel is that hell place. Zhuge sighs, scolds her, “Then why you didn’t cherish yourself before?! If you cherished your body and recovered soon, they wouldn’t suffer now. Sung is too mad this time, he said no one could beg for them. I guess they will spend rest of their lives there.” When Wendy hears this, her heart feels too pressured to hematemesis! The red blood spreads onto her clothes and everywhere. Sung controls her at once by feeding her a pill. Then puts her down on the bed, “If you really cherish your people, then you shouldn’t hurt yourself.” Zhuge cleans her bloody mouth and face.
“I didn’t hurt myself! You all misunderstood! Go ask the Majesty to come, now!” Wendy orders with her whole strength. The maid stands out and replies, “Well, the Majesty said, he wouldn’t see you anymore. Because you tried to use your body for getting attention… My Princess” Wendy feels like an idiot after her words. “I didn’t, I… How you people think of me like that?!” Wendy wants to explain, however, she feels too miserable of how to explain. No one understands her in this room. She fights all alone.
