On the other side, Felix and Vicki returned to the Saunders family. After freshening up, Dr. Crawford arrived to change Vicki's dressings.
When Dr. Crawford knocked on the door and entered with his medical kit, he intended to greet Vicki. However, Felix suddenly said, "In the future, you should address her as Mrs. Saunders."
Dr. Crawford wasn't surprised. He had already heard about the events that took place in the Saunders family that morning. Moreover, before he entered, Carlo had told him that Mr. and Mrs. Saunders were waiting for him.
Therefore, Dr. Crawford first addressed Felix, and then Vicki, respectfully saying, "Mr. Saunders, Mrs. Saunders."
Felix was extremely satisfied, a smug expression on his face. Hearing "Mrs. Saunders" made him particularly pleased.
Vicki pursed her lips in speechlessness. "Dr. Crawford, there's no need to call me that. It sounds so awkward."
Felix protested immediately, "No, we're in the Saunders family now, so we should follow the proper address according to the Saunders family's rules. It doesn't matter outside."
Vicki couldn't be bothered. "Just hurry up and change the dressing. Once you're done, I want to rest. I'm tired."
Dr. Crawford sighed and sat down to change Vicki's dressings. When he uncovered the wound, he couldn't help but furrow his brow. "Mr. and Mrs. Saunders, you really don't seem to take the wound seriously. You actually went out for the whole day and didn't return until almost dawn."
Felix nervously asked, "What's wrong? Did the wound reopen?" It couldn't be true. He had felt her wound when he helped her undress, and it seemed fine.
He wanted to take a closer look, but Vicki blocked his view.
"No, that's not it," Dr. Crawford shook his head. "Luckily, Mrs. Saunders has a recovery ability far beyond ordinary people. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to withstand such agitation. While dressing the wound, let me remind you to rest well for two days and let the wound heal."
"I understand. It's my fault for today," Felix felt guilty. He was afraid Vicki might regret it and only thought about getting the marriage certificate. Even though he didn't bring her to get it during the day.
Vicki interrupted, "I can't rest. I have important matters to attend to tomorrow morning."
Dr. Crawford, "..."
It seemed that everything he just said was in vain.
Felix persuaded, "I can go instead. Just tell me what needs to be done, and I'll take care of it. You can rest at home."
"No, I'll handle my own injury myself," Vicki replied impatiently.
"In that case, at least rest in the morning. I'll handle the matters for you, and in the afternoon, we can go out. I'll take care of the morning tasks for you. Is that alright?" Felix was familiar with Vicki's temperament and knew that forcing the issue would not yield good results.
So he had to take a slower approach. He would let Vicki rest in the morning, and then find other excuses in the afternoon.
Vicki furrowed her brow, not fully rejecting Felix's face. She agreed, "Fine."
Felix's lips curled up, a slight smile forming.
After Dr. Crawford finished dressing the wound and exchanged greetings, he left with his medical kit.
Felix helped Vicki onto the bed. "You've been tired all day. Sleep well."
