He thanked the boy sincerely, and at the same time, Baby Chu smiled and said, “But from now on, you’re my big brother. But as your little brother, I’ll take good care of you too!”

Linxi was pleasantly surprised! He did not expect Baby Chu to accept him, an “outsider”, so easily, and even say such heartwarming words like “I’ll take good care of you”!

However, to Baby Chu, although Linxi was a stranger, the boy had rescued Mommy and Daddy when he himself did not have the ability to do so. Such a “gift of life” was too precious!

“If you don’t have a home, then the Gu family is your home!” Baby Chu said.

For some reason, Linxi, who was so stubborn that he refused to shed a single tear in front of the brutal rebel army, suddenly teared up on hearing Baby Chu’s words!

…

After returning to the Gu residence, Gu Jinglian immediately summoned a doctor to check on Chu He’s injuries. The wound was infected and inflamed.

In such a harsh and complicated environment, even if the wound had been properly bandaged, medicine applied, and disinfected, it would have become inflamed again from the fighting along the way. The intense movement had caused repet.i.tive tearing of the wound that had earlier on showed signs of healing. Fortunately, it was not too serious and only had some festering pus.

It was a pity though, this area was going to be scarred. However, there were so many injuries on Chu He’s body. This was only just another. She had several gunshot wounds on her body, of which this was probably the least serious one.

Chu He was given a full body check-up at Gu Jinglian’s instruction.

He remembered that during an explosion, a powerful airwave had thrown them off their feet. Gu Jinglian wasn’t thrown too far away. Chu He, on the other hand, was knocked back against a tree trunk. It was unknown if she sustained any injury from this.

The doctor checked her tendons and bones. After taking a history, Chu He said that she did not feel any pain. Hence, at least her tendons and bones were not injured.

Gu Jinglian was relieved.

Baby Chu did not know what was going on, and only understood after Butler Fu’s repeated explanations! It turned out that Daddy had been trapped in North Africa because of work. Mommy was worried and had rushed to North Africa. The two of them found each other and left together. Fortunately, both of them were fine.

However, Gu Jinglian knew very well that if it hadn’t been for Chu He’s tacit cooperation, he wouldn’t have been able to leave North Africa in such a short time. This is the most optimistic scenario.

Chu He’s injury would take at least half a month to heal. She probably wouldn’t be able to get out of bed. She took the medicine and lay down.

The doctor gave Linxi and Gu Jinglian another checkup. Gu Jinglian only suffered some superficial wounds. It was found that his ankle had been dislocated, but it had recovered on its own. The doctor helped him reposition it, and everything else was fine. Linxi had suffered more injuries, but most of them were superficial.

This ended up being a dangerous trip to North Africa. Fortunately, everything turned out well.

However, while Chu He was bedridden for half a month, Butler Fu discovered something very strange. His old master actually learned to take care of others!

For the half a month that Chu He was bedridden, she couldn’t move. She couldn’t sit up and occasionally needed to flip over. All these required the help of someone. It was not that she was delicate. Previously, on the battlefield in North Africa, her wound had ruptured in her fight for survival.. At that time, she could not care less about her injuries.
