Chapter 73 Isaac Took Care of Nora Himself
"Nora?" Isaac exclaimed.
He immediately dropped the ointment he had been holding, pulled up her clothes, rushed out of the ward, and called Rhys to come over right away.
Rhys was still in the hospital and quickly arrived.
After examining Nora, he said to Isaac, "It's nothing, she just fainted from the pain."
"The medication is intense and effective, but as a result, it can be extremely painful when applied."
"Other than the pain, there are no negative side effects."
"Take advantage of her unconsciousness and apply more ointment, the thicker the better." Isaac's heart tightened.
How painful must it be to faint from the pain?
"Give her anesthesia next time you apply the medicine!" Isaac said.
Rhys shook his head and said, "Her body is too weak, it's not suitable to use anesthesia."
"Moreover, she needs to apply the medicine every hour, we can't give her anesthesia every time, she would die."
"Just apply the medicine faster so she suffers less." Rhys patted Isaac's shoulder.
"By tomorrow, the pain will be lessened after her wound heals."
"Useless doctor, you don't even have a way to help the patient alleviate their pain!" Isaac said angrily.
Rhys glared at him in anger, "If you think I'm a useless doctor, why don't you treat her yourself then?"
Isaac couldn't be bothered to respond. He kicked Rhys out of the ward.
After closing the door, he continued to apply medicine to Nora, even though she was in a coma.
Despite being unconscious, Nora furrowed her brow and was in intense pain, sweating profusely. Isaac became impatient watching her and increased the speed at which he applied the medicine.
After applying the medicine, he left the hospital room. Nora needed to receive the medicine every hour, which meant he had no time to leave the hospital and had to stay by her side. The hospital director prepared an office for him.
After entering the office, Isaac took off the protective suit he was wearing. He stared intensely at the ointment in his hand.
How painful could this medicine be? After a moment, he picked up a fruit knife on the desk and ruthlessly cut his arm without even flinching.
Blood quickly flowed from the wound, but Isaac didn't even furrow his brow. It was as if the person being cut was not him.
Afterward, he took out the bottle of medicine and applied a little onto the wound. "Hmm..." The moment the medicine touched the wound, a sharp pain surged through him. Even with his astonishing endurance, he couldn't help but let out a painful groan.
It felt as if countless ants were gnawing at his flesh and blood at the site of the wound. The pain was indescribable.
No wonder Nora fainted from the pain. She had multiple wounds on her body, so applying the medicine would be even more excruciating for her.
He felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his heart and his breathing became difficult. An hour later, he put on the protective suit again and armed himself to help Nora with the medicine. Nora had already woken up.
Due to the painful experience of receiving the medicine earlier, as soon as she saw the doctor enter the room, resistance and fear immediately appeared in her eyes. "Doctor, I don't think it's necessary to apply the medicine so frequently. Once a day is enough…"
Nora weakly said. Isaac felt sorry for her when he saw her frightened state. He really wanted to fulfill her wish.
But if he softened his heart, it would prolong the healing time of the wounds. With such serious injuries, according to normal treatment methods, it would take at least a month for the wounds to completely heal, and there would still be severe scarring.
With the extent of her injuries, it would be almost impossible to remove the scars. Only Rhys's secret medicine could restore wounds that had almost no intact skin to their original state.
So, even though he couldn't bear to see her in pain, he had to be resolute and help her apply the medicine. "I just asked Dr. Boris, as long as you apply the medicine every hour today, your wounds will heal by tomorrow. Then you can continue applying it and it won't be as painful."
"If you don't apply the medicine properly today, the rate of healing will slow down, and you'll have to lie in bed for at least a month."
"It's better to endure a short-lived pain. It will pass if you can bear with it." Nora listened to his words and struggled internally. Lying in bed for a month.
She didn't have so much time to waste in the hospital bed.
"Okay, help me with the medicine!" Nora gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, accepting her fate like a lamb about to be slaughtered.
Isaac started to unbutton her clothes and began applying the medicine.
It still hurt.
But Nora gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound.
"If it hurts, just cry out, no need to endure it and risk hurting your teeth," Isaac said in a low voice.
Nora shook her head and said tremblingly, "I'm fine, continue with the medicine..."
"It's done," Isaac helped her pull her clothes back up.
Nora let out a long sigh of relief.
She tried to move her body and sit up.
Isaac immediately held her down and furrowed his brows, "Lie still, don't move around. If you need anything, tell me, I'll get it for you."
Nora looked embarrassed, "I...I need to use the bathroom."
Isaac paused.
Then he said, "There's a urine pad on the bed, you can use it directly."
Nora looked repulsed, "It's dirty."
Isaac said, "After you finish, I'll immediately change the pad for you and clean you up, it won't be dirty."
Nora's face instantly turned red.
Even though he hadn't done anything yet, just talking about it made her feel embarrassed.
Urinating in bed.
And having a man help clean her up.
She couldn't do it.
"You don't need to feel embarrassed, in the eyes of a doctor, there's no distinction of gender."
"And you don't need to feel awkward, many seriously ill patients find convenience in their beds."
Nora bit her lip.
She knew these truths.
But she still couldn't accept.
"Suddenly, I don't want to go anymore," she stubbornly said.
But in her heart, she was thinking that once this doctor left, even if she was in excruciating pain, she would crawl to the bathroom by herself to take care of it.
She absolutely would not urinate in bed and let another male doctor clean her up!
Isaac's eyes showed a hint of amusement.
"Alright, when you feel like going, let's do it then."
Isaac walked over and sat on a nearby stool.
Nora saw him sit down and widened her eyes, "The medicine is done, why haven't you left? Why are you sitting down?"
Isaac calmly said, "Dr. Boris said your injuries are severe and you can't get out of bed or move around. You need 24-hour medical care. Whatever you need, the medical staff will assist you. You're not allowed to leave the bed."
Nora: "..."
In other words, he will stay in the hospital room all the time?
Even if she wanted to crawl to the bathroom, she wouldn't have a chance?
Nora felt both angry and frustrated.
She angrily bit her lip and held back the urge to urinate.
No matter what, she wouldn't urinate on the bed!
It was time to apply the medicine again.
Isaac picked up the ointment and began applying it for her.
As the ointment touched the wound, a sharp pain pierced her.
Nora held her breath in an instant and then released it all at once.
In the next moment, she felt a rush of warmth flowing out.
Nora froze, her face instantly turned red, almost as if blood would drip out.
Overwhelming shame made her ignore the pain from applying the medicine.
Isaac quickly finished applying the medicine for her.
Just as he was about to turn around and sit down, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
He turned back and looked down at the woman on the bed with flushed cheeks like an apple.
"Doc... Doctor..." Nora bit her lip, enduring immense shame, and whispered, "I... I think I've wet myself..."
