The next morning, Shirley woke up at six, went to the training ground for an hour, ate breakfast at seven, and went to Forsford's room at eight for his treatment.
Horsford's home is only five minutes away from the training ground, which Shirley loves.
Horsford would get up earlier than Shirley, but his trauma kept him in bed. Before, when he was still well, he got up at five in the morning, went to the training ground, went to the barracks at six to watch the soldiers train, had his morning meeting at seven, and ate at eight. But now he could only lie in bed from five in the morning until eight when Shirley appeared in front of him.
He was also so disciplined, but because he got up so early, he never saw Shirley on the practice field.
Shirley came to Forsford's bedside, where she had changed today into the low-cut blue dress Forsford had given her.
"Hello, Mr. Forsford, let's start our treatment today!"
"Yes! My dear Miss Shirley, it's a blessing to see you every morning! Have you had breakfast yet?"
"Eat up, Mr. Forsford."
"And do you like this dress?"
"Love it, thank you for the gift."
"You ......"
Shirley interrupted Forsford's inquiry, "Mr. Forsford, may we begin the treatment?"
Horsford nodded hard, trying his best to look eager for treatment, even though he was not mentally ill.
"Okay, Mr. Forsford, now can you tell me something about what happened on the battlefield?"
"Oh! Shirley! Do you want to hear all this? I would love to tell you all about me! Like how I became a Protector, how I eat and sleep ......"
"Mr. Forsford!" Shirley interrupted him again, "What I need to know is what happened to you on the battlefield, according to Lord Jason, you were traumatized because of this war, so I need to know the cause of the illness. Please tell me in detail about what happened to you on the battlefield."
Horsford nodded his head and said, "Yes, Miss Shirley." Horsford became serious, this is his principle, as long as it involves the army, war-related issues, he will change his old attitude and take it seriously.
"After we arrived at a position ten kilometers from Stokey peak under the king, I received a message from the king, he asked me to lead a thousand warriors to meet the border guard warriors there on Stokey peak, we flew to the ambush from Barnett, a thousand warriors were killed and I was taken to Barnett's tent. He invited me to become his protector, I firmly refused him, and Barnett put me in a makeshift prison."
"I was tied to a post and the soldier kept hitting me with a long whip, I could feel my skin starting to crack and my blood flowing down the wound, but these wounds were not a big problem for me. The soldier kept waving the whip in his hand, I just looked at him like that, my heart just wanted him to go faster so that he could speed up my death, I thought my life was over, my mind first thought of the girl I hadn't confessed to, and then of the king, and also of my parents."
"When that soldier got tired, he changed to another one and continued beating, but they really didn't have the strength, and I couldn't feel the pain anymore after that, and they felt that this punishment was too light, so they changed to thick wooden sticks. They pounded hard on my body, and the skin that had just been cracked under the pressure of the wooden stick, blood gushed out and sprayed on the soldier's face, and they became even angrier."
"So their strength became greater, and I felt that I had lost consciousness, my head was dizzy, and I gradually became unconscious. I thought it would be good to die like that."
"I don't know how long it took, a basin of cold water was poured on my face, I knew I had just fainted, the soldiers woke me up with the cold water and continued with the punishment, their greatest pleasure should be to hear the prisoner scream in pain, but from the beginning to the end I did not scream out, they looked a little impatient."
"I suppose they were given orders not to kill me, or they would have killed me soon! Because a prisoner like me doesn't bring them the pleasure of punishment."
Horsford was telling the story carefully, not noticing the change in expression on Shirley's face, from surprise at first, to worry, to sadness. While she was enjoying a beautiful evening at her home, these brave warriors were fighting on the battlefield, some losing their lives, some being tortured. The beautiful peace is all because they put their lives on the line for others.
Shirley covered her mouth and frowned, looking sad as she looked at Forsford and said, "Oh! Dear warriors, you are so great! How I wish dear God could bless you with a speedy recovery!"
Horsford reached out and took Shirley by the hand, looked her in the eyes, and said very sincerely, "Shirley, do you know what I was thinking while I was being whipped? I was thinking I regretted not confessing my love to you before I left, I regretted not being brave enough, I was praying to God, praying that he let me see you again, that God heard me, that he let me see you again! I will take this God-given opportunity and finish all the things I wanted to do to you before!"
Shirley was a little shy, and instead of following Forsford's words directly, she adjusted herself and said to him, "Mr. Forsford, how does it feel to say what's on your mind?"
Horsford suddenly remembered that he was still receiving treatment from Shirley, and he smiled and said to Shirley, "Miss Shirley, I feel much more relieved."
"Talking is also a very good way to relieve the boredom in your heart, you can try to talk more about your worries to the people around you in the future."
"Yes, Miss Shirley."
"Lord Forsford, the king is here." The maid stood at the door to convey it.
Shirley immediately got up and helped Forsford sit up.
William walked into the room and saw Shirley and Forsford together and a relieved smile appeared on his face. He had only heard that Forsford had suffered a traumatic injury but had found a psychiatrist to treat it, something he was at a loss to understand, but it was easy to see if that doctor was Shirley!
"King, why do you come to visit me personally, it will make me feel uneasy."
William sat down next to Forsford, "We grew up together, such false etiquette will not need to exist between you and me. You were wounded defending the Red night clan, I will come to see you. Two days later I will hold a ritual for the dead warriors, I will give their families a generous amount of money, although these can not make up for the pain of their loss, this is the only thing I can do for them."
Horsford nodded, "King, you have no problem doing that, and I think the families of the soldiers will appreciate the care you have for them."
"Let's hope so! You also deserve a reward for your valor this time, I brought you some gold, I know you like them a lot, this is a reward for you!"
"King, protecting the Red night clan is something I should do as a Protector, you don't need to reward me."
William smiled and said, "You're too modest, take it! I have some things to do, so I'll go back first."
"Yes." Horsford tried with difficulty to get up and salute, William stopped him and left.
Shirley had some uneasiness in her heart, she knew her sister had been to the barracks to help William through the hardship, but why didn't William mention it to her just now, she thought it might be because William felt that his sister's matter had nothing to do with her, so he didn't talk much about it!
Horsford lay down again and Shirley covered him up. She bent down and her breasts showed quite a bit, which Forsford happened to see, and his face instantly turned very red.
Shirley looked at Forsford, a little worried, "What's wrong with you, Mr. Forsford, why is your face so red? Is the wound inflamed?"
"No, it's not." Horsford covered his nose to prevent it from bleeding.
"Mr. Forsford, we're done for the day, do you have any other questions?"
Horsford thought carefully and said, "Will you accompany me to lunch today?"
Shirley didn't expect him to say that and was a little unsure how to answer.
Horsford struggled to pull Shirley's coat and said with a sappy tone, "OK? Dr. Shirley, Miss Shirley, Goddess Shirley?"
Shirley nodded and Forsford was happy.
"If such a time could last a lifetime, I would trade my ten years of life for it!"
Shirley looked at Forsford's happy appearance, her heart was also a little happy, unconsciously she had already developed a good feeling for the man in front of her, long forgotten what she had said to refuse Forsford's pursuit.
Love makes no sense, when you fall in love with someone, you experience feelings you've never experienced before, and when your lover responds to you, you feel like you've become the happiest person in the world!
Gina's POV
When I stuck the scissors into my chest, I felt so happy that I finally left this heartbreaking world, "I'm sorry Shirley, if there's an afterlife I'll do my best to repay you for your kindness!"
I don't know how long I stayed in the dream, my head was dizzy and my body was weak. I opened my eyes and found that I was in the infinite darkness, I kept walking, but there was no end to this world and I didn't know where I should go.
Finally, I was tired of walking, I wanted to stop, but there was a voice in my brain always telling me that I could not stop, I had to go forward, only to keep going forward to see hope.
I saw a light in front of me, it was so bright, I walked towards it, because of the blinding light, it made me close my eyes, I felt the light getting wider and wider, finally, my world was all filled with light, I opened my eyes and I was back in this world, this sad world.
"Luna, you're finally awake!" The maid beside me shouted excitedly, I closed my eyes again, rolling tears slipped from the corners of my eyes, why am I back again! I don't want to come back again!
Shirley appeared in my brain, her smile was so beautiful, she said to me: "Dear Gina, you are so beautiful, you deserve all the good things in the world!"
My chest was in pain and it turned out that the scissors just now did not pierce my heart, but only the muscles outside of it due to my lack of strength.
