The middle of Pehry's back is fine, but it is swollen with blisters. The bottom part of the waist, where
there is an area of the size of three palms, looks the most serious and is filled with yellow pus and
blood. It looks very shocking.
The doctor gets shocked, too. "Oh, my goodness. What happened?"
Jasmine says, "It is scalded by the oil of hotpot."
"The oil of hotpot?" The doctor sighs and shakes his head. "How come? See how serious this is! It may
get infected."
Jasmine watches as the doctor calls a nurse over and takes over the disinfectant tools. The bottle filled
with iodine is the size of an infusion bottle.
"Hold on. It may hurt a little," The doctor says to Pehry before disinfection.
Pehry lies on the bed with his body down and his face towards the side of the wall and says, "Alright."
The doctor has already poured the anti-inflammatory liquid mixed with saline on his wound as Pehry
replies.
Pehry doesn't make any sound, but the muscles on his back immediately contract. He is in a highly
tense state. Jasmine looks at him but does not know how to alleviate his pain. So she puts her hand in
front of Pehry.
"Pinch my hand if it hurts."
The white and slender wrist appears in front of him. Pehry glances at it and grabs it. But he doesn't
exert any strength. He just holds her hand.
After the disinfection, the doctor applies the iodine to Pehry's wound. The white cotton ball soaked in
the iodine turns brown, and then turns dark red when pressed down on the wound. Jasmine watches
and feels so worried.
The blisters have to be squeezed open before the medicine can be applied. She doesn't dare to look,
so she stares at the Pehry's side face.
Ten minutes later, the simple disinfection procedure is finally done. Just as the doctor is about to apply
medicine to him, Pehry sits up from the bed.
"Please lie on your stomach. I have to apply medicine to you..."
"No need." Pehry refuses before the doctor could finish speaking, "I'll go back and deal with it by
myself."
The doctor tries to persuade him, but before he can say anything, Pehry has already pulled open the
curtain and walked out.
Pehry picks up a loose hospital uniform and puts it on. He walks quickly. Jasmine chases after him and
stops him at the entrance of the hospital.
"Pehry!" Jasmine stops him, "What are you doing? What about the medicine? You can't go back like
this."
Compared to her anxiety, Pehry appears very calm, "It's fine."
He even raises his hand to touch the top of her head, "Let's go. I'll drive you back."
Jasmine does not give in and stands straight in front of him. She looks at him seriously, "No, you must
go back and use the medicine. Your wound is too serious. You may get infected."
Pehry sighs helplessly, "I have medicine at home."
Jasmine doesn't believe him at all. "How do you handle it even if you have medicine? Stop messing
around. This is not a joke. Let's go back..."
Pehry raises his eyebrows to look at her panicked appearance and feels so warm. He has never got
this feeling towards any other woman.
As Jasmine is going to push him inside, Pehry grabs her hand and says, "How about this? Come home
with me so that you can apply the medicine for me."
Seeing that Pehry refuses to go to the hospital, Jasmine is furious. She doesn't understand him, but
she is really worried that he won't be able to treat the wound alone. So she doesn't think too much
before agreeing, "Alright, I'll go back with you."
Pehry remains calm, but his heart has already bloomed with joy. He raises his head and signals her
about the car over there with his chin, "Get in the car."
Then Jasmine follows him home from the hospital. Pehry takes off his clothes after getting in the car.
The wound is painful and it is best not to wear clothes.
Along the way, Jasmine has been searching the pharmacies near his home with her mobile phone. She
finds that there are two 24-hour pharmacies so that if something unexpected happens, she will know
how to take care of it.
She searches online for tips for dealing with the scald, and one of the replies says that if the patient has
a fever, he should be sent to the hospital right away. She remembers it and thinks to herself that she
must make sure that he is fine tonight before leaving.
At the same time, the restaurant owner calls Pehry. Pehry is too lazy to raise his hand so he turns on
the speaker.
"Mr. Pehry, I've just arrived at the hospital. But I didn't find you." The owner's panicked voice comes
from the phone, along with the noise in the emergency hall.
Pehry's temper is so bad that he scolds the owner, "How can you see me if I have already taken care of
it and left?"
"What? You've already left? I'm so sorry, Mr. Pehry. I was dealing with the two employees in the
restaurant. I've already fired them. I'll do anything if you need me!"
But Pehry sees through his tricks. "Although it is the employees' fault, you, the owner of the restaurant,
should also take the responsibility, right?"
The owner immediately falls silent. To be exact, he is so scared that he doesn't know what to say.
Pehry keeps calm. He says word by word, "How do I know if you do it intentionally or unintentionally?"
Jasmine can't help but look at him. Although she is angry at the owner, she does not think so deeply.
Will anyone do this on purpose?
"Mr. Pehry, you know I won't dare to do this! I ...I didn't do it intentionally!"
Pehry knows what he says is true, but he also knows something about Tony Cannon, the owner of the
hot pot restaurant who is talking to him. Tony is going to open a nightclub three kilometers away from
the Red Club. He is partnering with a boss in the chemical industry and Tony's share proportion
accounts for 75%.
The nightclub is so close to the Red Club, which means that they are prepared to be a rival to Pehry.
Now that they have already got the land and are going to start building it, Pehry is looking for an
opportunity to teach them a lesson, but he hasn't expected that the chance just comes today.
Pehry frowns as he thinks of something, "Well, it depends on your attitude."
They are businessmen, and Tony is not an idiot. He has been in the catering industry in J City for so
many years, and he can be considered one of the top people in this industry. However, when compared
to Pehry and the Pehry Corporation, he's nothing.
Back then, when the guy in the chemical industry found him and told him about this idea, he directly
rejected it. After all, provoking Pehry is definitely not a good idea.
However, thinking about fame and fortune, he is tempted anyway. However, he hasn't expected that he
would be in such a bad luck today...
