Beneath it, she was still wearing a tank top. Her shoulders and abdomen were bruised in places. When the doctor had applied ointment to her back earlier, he had seen several large bruises across Liu Yiyi's back. Tears had welled up in his eyes and he had quietly sobbed—it was all because of him.
He used his small hand to gently rub the medicinal oil into those painful spots until the front was fully treated. When turning her over, he was terrified of hurting her; if the wound the doctor had just stitched up were to split open again, he would never forgive himself.
