I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

Chapter 108: The Past

Lu Ze’s heart skipped a beat, but he concealed his vigilance and smiled warmly at Mrs. Luo as he thanked her again. After she went back to rest, he turned around and walked back to the bonfire. The smile on his face had long disappeared.

Mrs. Luo wouldn’t say these words for no reason. Since she reminded them, was it because someone in this camp was plotting something?!

Was it directed at him, or…

No, judging from Mrs. Luo’s words, the person wasn’t targeting him, but Lin Suisui!

When he thought of this, killing intent appeared in Lu Ze’s eyes.

Perhaps, it was because he was too kind that those people wanted to take advantage of them!

Lu Ze, who was sitting beside the bonfire with his fists clenched, was like an unsheathed sharp blade. However, in an instant, this killing intent disappeared. He became the reticent, boring, and slow-witted Gu Erlang again.

Lin Suisui didn’t sleep for long. She was probably still worried about the woman in the tent, so she woke up after less than six hours.

Lu Ze looked at Lin Suisui, who had come out of the carriage, in dissatisfaction and distress. “Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?!”

“I’m a little worried. Let’s go over and take a look!”

Lin Suisui sighed and explained to Lu Ze in a low voice, “The woman’s situation is really dire! There’s also a child, so we have to go over and take a look.”

When Lu Ze heard her words, he didn’t say anything else. He nodded and scooped a bowl of porridge for her. “Then eat something first. I’ll accompany you to go over there after you rest for a while.”

No matter how anxious he was, it was useless. Lu Ze was more concerned about Lin Suisui’s health.

Perhaps to make Lin Suisui more vigilant, or to make her pay more attention to other things, Lu Ze whispered to Lin Suisui about Mrs. Luo’s reminder last night.

“Mrs. Luo isn’t a nosy person. She probably reminded us because she heard something.

I think what she said makes sense. We’ve always felt that the danger was outside, but we’ve ignored the danger of the refugees in the refugee camp.”

Lu Ze whispered his thoughts to Lin Suisui, “I was too careless. Mrs. Luo was right about that.”

Lin Suisui stopped scooping up porridge, and a bitter smile appeared on her face. “As the saying goes, an inexperienced person defeats a master by throwing out the rules of traditions.”

“Yes.” Lu Ze nodded. Seeing that Lin Suisui agreed with him, he felt relieved. “We have enough food on hand now. I’ll guard you every day in the future. Let’s be careful and talk about the important things after we reach the base.”

“Okay.” Lin Suisui nodded. As if she had remembered something, she only took two bites of the porridge in her hand before she stopped eating. She stared at the bonfire in front of her quietly and was lost in thought.

“What’s wrong?!” Lu Ze felt that something was clearly wrong with Lin Suisui’s mood.

He frowned slightly. Did the reminder just now scare her?!

“I’m fine. I just remembered something and feel a little sad.” Lin Suisui sighed softly. After thinking about it, she didn’t feel that there was anything to hide.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, “My mentor once participated in treating people with the plague. That time, the situation was much more dangerous than this time.”

A lot of people died that time.”

She pursed her lips and looked down for a moment before continuing, “The officials in charge announced a lockdown.

However, this city was sealed from the outside!

From the beginning to the end, the officials didn’t enter the city. The only people sealed in the city were those who had contracted the plague and ordinary people who hadn’t contracted the plague but were already in a panic.

By the way, there were also some medical officials who had entered the city earlier and worked with the city’s people to treat those with the plague.

My mentor was only his mentor’s assistant at that time.”

When her mentor told her about this past, he seemed very sad.

It was only after a few years that she completely understood what had happened during that lockdown.

Her mentor’s mentor was a smart person. After realizing that something was wrong, he thought of a way to secretly send her mentor to a kind-hearted family to take refuge. As for her mentor’s mentor and the medical officials who had previously risked their lives to come in to treat those patients, none of them escaped.

“They said that these doctors had the protection of God, and that they could cure all illnesses and detoxify all poisons!

“In order to survive, those citizens who originally seemed kind and amiable became devils during the lockdown! They…”

Lin Suisui raised her hand to cover her face. Just thinking about that tragic situation made her hair stand on end.

“But even so, after my mentor escaped from that living hell, he still didn’t change his original goal and continued working to become a doctor.

Later, he had gone to epidemic areas more than once and entered those extremely dangerous lockdown areas again to save those patients who had the plague.

He said that his mentor didn’t blame the people for what had happened previously.

He said that the situation had gone out of hand because those citizens were too afraid and because they, as doctors, were too incompetent at that time! If they had found the right method earlier, those citizens wouldn’t have gone crazy because of the lockdown.”

Lin Suisui spoke very slowly, and her voice became lower and lower until it was almost impossible to hear her.

Lu Ze didn’t ask any questions or interrupt her. He knew very well that what Lin Suisui needed now wasn’t comfort, but someone to listen to her. She just needed someone to listen to her vent the dissatisfaction and frustration that had been pent up inside for God knows how long!

In fact, Lin Suisui had already made a decision about what to do. He didn’t need to say anything. What he needed to do was to protect her!

“But this isn’t right!” Suddenly, Lin Suisui raised her voice and looked up at Lu Ze. Her eyes seemed to be burning with anger.

“How can you repay kindness with enmity?! Things shouldn’t be like this!

My mentor and the others had tried their best. They went in to save people despite the danger. Not only did they not receive any gratitude, but they were also exploited!

My mentor can forgive and forget, but I can’t!

I saved these people, but it doesn’t mean that I will indulge them! Their greed has nothing to do with me!

Even though I saved their lives, they have to be punished for their mistakes. These two things aren’t conflicting!”
