My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses Chapter 131 A REWARD PART 19

Xue Lin's eyelashes moved and her eyes slowly opened. She felt like she was sleeping for a long time. She yawned and looked at the ceiling. Seeing a white ceiling she tried to remember if their bedroom ceiling was as white as this one but she couldn't remember. She moved her head and looked around the room. It looked like a hospital.
'Why am I here? What am I doing in a place like this?' She thought. When her eyes landed on a person right beside her bed, her soul almost left her body.
Without making a sound she looked at the person carefully. It was a man who put his arms on her bed and buried his head. He seemed deeply asleep. She saw the person's wristwatch and instantly recognized it.
It was Ge Chen's watch. She gave it to him when they got their marriage certificates. She tried to reach out her hand but paused when she saw her hand was wrapped in a white bandage. Then she noticed her other hand was in the same condition.
'What's this? Why do I have a bandage? Am I injured? But why?' As she tried to recall, she remembered a series of events. Her body started to shake. She recalled how she was taken and almost burnt to death. It had been a long time since she was that afraid.
'Am I dead? It doesn't look like hell to me. But why is Chen here? Did he die too? But why did he die? What happened after I lost consciousness?' She couldn't remember anything that happened later on.
When she clenched her fists, she groaned in pain. Her hands were burnt and she was still recovering.
Her soft groan woke up Ge Chen. His eyes flew open and he abruptly looked at her. Xue Lin was startled by his action but soon calmed down. She blinked and opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. Her throat was dry and so she started coughing vigorously.
Ge Chen came back to his senses and hurriedly stood up. He poured a glass of water and helped her to drink. Xue Lin drank till the last drop. Ge Chen wiped her mouth with his finger and asked, "Do you want another glass of water?"
Xue Lin nodded in reply. She was so thirsty that she felt like a fish out of water. He gave her another glass of water. After drinking two glasses of water she finally calmed down.
Ge Chen put down the glass and sat beside her. He cupped her small face and asked, "Are you okay? Do you feel hurt anywhere? Where does it hurt?" He sounded worried.
Xue Lin cleared her throat and asked, "Aren't we in heaven? Why should I feel pain?"
Ge Chen paused and said, "You are not dead. We are not in heaven. Why would your hands be bandaged if you are in heaven?"
Xue Lin nodded. "Oh yeah, that makes sense. I do feel a slight pain in my hands and I can hardly move my leg." She tried to move her right leg but couldn't.
Ge Chen touched her right thigh so that she would not try to move them anymore and said, "It's because your legs are tied. The doctors were afraid you would move while sleeping and it would harm your already injured legs."
"I see. For a second I thought I became paralyzed. It would have been ugly because someone would have to take me to the toilet every time. Just thinking of that is making me feel disgusted." Xue Lin pursed her lips.
Ge Chen chuckled. Sometimes he cannot understand what she is thinking. However, whatever she thinks about, it turns out to be something amusing. "What about your legs and your waist? Do you feel pain there?"
"I don't feel the pain. I don't want to take painkillers." Xue Lin frowned. "Don't tell me the doctor gave me painkillers!"
Ge Chen denied. "No, they didn't. They injected morphine because your right leg is in pretty bad shape. It'll take time to heal. If they didn't use morphine, you would lose consciousness in pain. Anything else? Do you feel weird anywhere?"
"I do." Xue Lin nodded with a serious expression.
Ge Chen looked worried. "Where?"
Xue Lin replied, "My stomach. I'm hungry."
Growl!
To prove her words true, her stomach cried out right on cue.
Ge Chen hid his laughter and said, "I'll call the doctor and then order you food." He rang the bell and then called Ming Yu.
The doctor and nurse came to check up. They asked Xue Lin multiple questions. She tried her best to answer. Her hunger was taking a toll on her body. Her voice seemed weaker and weaker. Seeing that, the doctor didn't talk anymore and did some primary checkups.
In the meantime, Ming Yu came with ten boxes of food and served them one by one. These foods had mild taste and herbs in them. They were very nutritious and good for patients.
The doctor said, "Mrs. Ge, you don't have to worry about your legs and burnt marks. Your body will heal slowly. All you have to do is take plenty of rests. After your arms and stomach burns heal, you have to apply ointment to remove the scars. Although I studied western medicines, I recommend Chinese ointment to remove the burnt marks. It's highly effective."
"Thank you, doctor." Xue Lin bowed with gratitude.
The doctor was a young female. She hurriedly said, "Oh, no, no please don't do that. It's my duty to serve you." She looked nervous.
"Serve me?" Xue Lin was confused.
The doctor shook her head. "No, no, treat you. M-my mistake. I'll leave first. Please enjoy your meal." She bowed and hurriedly felt. Ge Chen told all the employees that Xue Lin must not know that they work under him. 'I almost lost my life there.' The doctor wiped her sweats.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulder and she jumped in nervousness.
