Chapter 728: Healing
Midnight, President’s Mansion.The lights in the servants’ quarters at the back had long been extinguished, yet a shadowy figure stealthily appeared.
He crossed the rose garden, then passed through the rockery and green pond, finally stopping at the door of one of the rooms.
After glancing around and seeing no one, she gently knocked on the door.
"Who?!" A man’s hoarse and pained voice came from inside.
The person at the door did not respond, but knocked again.
"Wait!" The person inside replied impatiently, getting up and walking laboriously towards the door.
More than a minute passed before the door was finally opened.
The person at the door was none other than Song Bo. He looked up at the person outside and was startled.
"Miss Shana? How do you..."
Shana was dressed entirely in black, with a black scarf wrapped around her head and face, revealing only her eyes and nose. If not for being familiar with her, one might not recognize her at all.
Shana quickly gestured, lowering her voice and saying, "Shh, don’t speak, let me in first."
Song Bo nodded and quickly stepped aside.
Shana swiftly walked inside and closed the door behind her.
The room contained only a bed, a wardrobe, and a table with chairs and a stool. An oil lamp was lit on the table, and the surroundings were quite simple.
Song Bo moved with difficulty, following Shana further inside, "Miss Shana, why did you come? With your esteemed status, you shouldn’t be in such crude places. I’m afraid it might dirty you..."
"I came to see you."
Shana spoke while looking down at Song Bo’s injuries, filled with regret upon seeing scars all over him.
"It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t asked you to find Bell and persuade him to drink, you wouldn’t have been discovered. I should have been more careful..."
"Miss Shana. You don’t need to blame yourself; I did it willingly."
"But..."
"Miss Shana, as long as you’re safe, what does it matter if Song Bo suffers a little?"
Being a man, he could hardly endure the punishment. If it had been Miss Shana, it was unimaginable...
Shana carefully checked his wounds and looked at the medicine on them, saying, "No, the medicine you applied is ineffective; only my medicine will work."
An ordinary servant would not have good ointment, so naturally, she must use her special balm.
She took Song Bo’s hand, making him sit down and moved to untie his clothing, but Song Bo stopped her.
Song Bo’s face reddened slightly.
"Miss Shana, this is absolutely not proper. You are the master, I am the servant, and we are of different genders. It is not appropriate..."
S Country highly emphasizes racial classifications, with clear distinctions between master and servant and vast disparity between rich and poor.
But Shana, having been educated abroad with Western influences, did not adhere to these conventions.
"Why do you have so many excuses? Quickly, apply the medicine!" She directly took the ointment from his hand and forcefully tore the little vest he wore.
With a ripping sound, the small vest on Song Bo’s body was torn apart.
Immediately, his sturdy physique was revealed.
Song Bo was stunned, and Shana was slightly taken aback as well, her face heating up.
"Uh, ahem, turn around..." Shana said, blushing.
Song Bo quickly turned, his ears tinged with red.
She began applying medicine to him, but due to witnessing the scene earlier, her face still felt hot and her heart was tense. In her nervousness, she accidentally applied too much force, inadvertently hurting Song Bo’s wound.
