Chapter 286 286. Both Of You Have Some Rest

Markus's whole left chest was bruised black and blue, with a deep wound near the centre of his chest.

His left arm had a torniquette tied around his arm while three deep stabs could be seen on his left forearm.

His back had a long cut running in downward direction from left shoulder, ending on the right side beyond the centre line.

"When.. when have you… you recieved… recieved these… cuts?" Kizy asked in between her sobs, her heart almost skipping a beat at the ghastly sight of Markus's injuries.

"Please don't cry-" Markus was trying to console her when Kizy finally burst out.

"Are you out of your mind? Just tell me when have you recieved those cuts?? You know they are poisonous, right?!!" Kizy literally yelled at Markus, not knowing what she was supposed to do.

She just couldn't imagine that what the hell was Markus thinking while delaying his treatment for this long. In fact how in the world was he able to endure all this!

"Calm down little lamb, I know what I am doing." Markus said, gently squeezing Kizy's right hand.

"No you are not. Doctors please clean up his wounds real quick! That's a deadly poison!!" Kizy literally cried.

The two doctors could already see how serious the situation was. The edges of stab marks on Markus's forearm had already turned into a shade of green.

They instantly started cleaning the wound first, knowing that any more delay would result in a morbidity.

The process went on for almost forty minutes before the doctors were able to save Markus's limb from losing all its functions.

All this time, Kizy never left Markus's side even once. Instead she was holding onto him so tight as if her life depended on it.

"Thanks to Mr. Markus's timely first aid. If he wouldn't have cleaned his wound up and tied this tourniquet, the poison would have spread to all other body parts.

As for the back, that's a superficial cut so dressing it up frequently with antibiotics will heal that one.

Main problem will be the chest. He received a fatal blow on his left chest, barely saving his heart. Any more depth would have damaged his heart muscles. Thankfully we were able to suture the wound.

But in the process, he has broken two of his ribs, and a third one has a hairline fracture. He will have to take proper rest for them. We will prescribe a cast like belt to tie around his torso for support." Doctors explained everything briefly, knowing that Kizy already had some basic knowledge in medicine judging from the way she had diagnosed Markus's condition.

"Thank you for your hard work. But can you please run all the tests on him? Just want to be sure that he isn't injured anywhere else." Kizy said, who was much more composed now after crying her eyes out moments ago.

"Yes Young madam, we were going to do that anyway. But I suggest that you both have some rest before we start with the tests as that will take another hour or two.

Both of you have damaged your bodies to quite some extent, and they need replenishing. I advise you to have some light but healthy food and rest for an hour before we resume with examining Mr. Markus's body." The doctor commented politely.

"Sure." Kizy replied while looking at Markus, who was silent all this while, knowing he was in for a good scolding soon.

"Also forgive me for not congratulating you earlier, young madam. Congratulations! You are pregnant." The doctor spoke professionally.

"Thank you for your care." Kizy replied in a genuinely grateful tone.

With that, both the doctors bowed and left while Kizy ordered the nurses to leave them for sometime.

"I will let you both have some good rest. Also child, don't waste your energy in scolding this brat now. We will scold him together once you are healthier and when your grandma is there with us after we return back home." Grandpa said while chuckling.

"Yes." Kizy replied with a smile.

"Grandpa, can you not be so cruel? Haven't you seen my injuries? Is Kizy not enough? Why are you and Grandma joining her for the scolding? This is pure cheating!" Markus complained after listening to grandpa's words.

"You fool!! Be thankful that I am not beating you up right now. Now have some rest before I change my mind." Grandpa said and turned, while a grin could be seen on his face as soon as he had left the ward.

Markus was still looking at the closed door while he felt a very cold stare being thrown in his direction. He instantly pasted his brightest smile on face while turning towards Kizy, who was standing beside the bed, still holding his hand.

"Little lamb, why are you still standing there. Come here. Let us rest together." Markus said, while shifting towards the other side, making space for Kizy.

But Kizy took her hand out of his before turning, taking Markus by surprise.

"Where.. where are you going?" Markus asked in a desperate voice.

"To rest." Kizy said while pointing towards the huge sofa of their VIP ward.

"Why will you go there when we have this bed. Come, rest here." Markus said, patting the space beside him.

"No thanks." Kizy said while taking another step towards the sofa.

"Kizy please don't. How can I let you and the baby sleep on sofa? Come here." Markus said, trying to be as gentle as possible.

"Sleeping on this sofa would in no way harm the baby or me. And for your information, I don't want to sleep with you!" Kizy said in a half angry half mean voice.

"Kizy please. I will take the sofa, you take the bed." Markus tried to convince her one more time, only to be met by her silence as she walked towards the sofa.

Markus kept protesting while Kizy simply ignored him, reaching the sofa.

As soon as she was about to lie down, Markus finally spoke while getting up from the bed.
