Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 552

Chapter 552: Chapter 555: I’ll Help You Beat Them!

He helped Ye Xingbei take a hot bath, with the warm water pouring over Ye Xingbei as she continued to sleep in a drowsy state.

After rinsing her clean, he dried her off, found the best ointment for external wounds, and carefully applied it to the lash marks on her body.

After treating her wounds and helping her into a soft, comfortable nightgown, he gently touched her swollen face, barely recognizable from the injuries. A raging fury ignited within Gu Junzhu, like a stack of explosives detonating one after another.

He gently kissed Ye Xingbei’s forehead and carried her out of the bathroom.

Xiao Shumiao was squatting by the door, pitifully waiting. Seeing Gu Junzhu carrying Ye Xingbei out, he quickly stood up.

When Gu Junzhu laid Ye Xingbei on the bed, he finally saw her face.

Seeing his beautiful mother beaten to such a state, he wanted to cry but didn’t dare to make a sound, stifling his tears until his face turned red and he was gasping for breath.

Remembering that Ye Xingbei had mentioned that the boy suffered from asthma, Gu Junzhu took him into his arms and kissed him, whispering, “Baby, your mother is hurt now. You are a little man. You need to protect your mother, okay?”

Xiao Shumiao nodded fiercely.

Gu Junzhu caressed the small boy’s back to soothe him, saying, “Take a deep breath now, calm yourself down. Don’t be scared or sad. You need to be strong so that you can protect your mom, understand?”

Xiao Shumiao nodded and took a few deep breaths, his asphyxiated face gradually regaining its color.

Seeing his condition improve, Gu Junzhu handed him over to Lingyue.

He bent down and checked on Ye Xingbei, finding her condition stable. He exhaled, took out his phone, and called Gu Chi, “Find a woman doctor, a good one. She needs to be able to make house calls or be on a long-term contract. We need someone reliable.”

After hanging up, he noticed Xiao Shumiao staring at him from beside his leg.

He crouched down and touched the little boy’s tear-soaked face. “What’s the matter?”

Xiao Shumiao asked, “Daddy, can I sleep with mommy?”

“Yes,” Gu Junzhu smiled, ruffling his little head, “go get cleaned up, change into your pajamas, and then you can.”

Xiao Shumiao nodded enthusiastically and darted into the bathroom.

Soon, he came out of the bathroom in his pajamas.

Gu Junzhu patted his wet little head, dried his hair with a blow dryer, hoisted him up on Ye Xingbei’s body, and kissed him, “Your mother has injuries, so you need to stay a bit further from her and not touch her wounds, understand?”

Xiao Shumiao nodded, cupping his face with his small hands. “Daddy, are Mom’s injuries caused by Auntie’s Grandpa and Grandma?”

Ye Zhitong and Ye Wuwei never admitted that Ye Xingbei was their adopted daughter and they didn’t like Xiao Shu, so they wouldn’t let Xiao Shu call them Grandpa and Grandma. Instead, Xiao Shu was told to call them Auntie’s Grandpa and Grandma.

He knew that his mom was taken by Auntie’s Grandma’s people.

Then, his mom was gone.

Now, his mom has returned with injuries all over her body.

So he thought that his mom must have been hurt by Auntie’s Grandpa and Grandma.

Although he was still very young, he knew early on that Auntie’s Grandpa and Grandma didn’t like him or his mom.

Gu Junzhu gently rubbed his head. “It’s more or less that, it’s complicated. You’ll understand when you’re older.”

“I’ll grow up fast,” Xiao Shumiao said. “I want to be like Brother Yue, learn lots of skills, and protect Daddy, Mommy, and Brother Yue when I grow up. If anyone bullies you guys, I’ll fight them!”
