Shen Ye felt a flicker of panic. It wasn't that he hadn't wanted to call her these past few days; he simply didn't know what to say. Furthermore, the pain from his injuries was truly agonizing. Every breath pulled at his ribs, and he was forced to endure it through sheer willpower.
After a moment’s thought, he turned toward Liu Ruyan and said in a low voice, "Could you step out for a moment? I need to make a call."
Liu Ruyan paused, a flash of disappointment crossing her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "If it isn't anything urgent," she said in a soft, professional tone, "please wait until I’ve changed your dressing. It will only take about ten minutes. Leaving a wound like yours exposed to the air when it hasn't fully healed increases the risk of infection. If it becomes infected, things will get much more complicated."
