    🥺"Take off your clothes," she commanded coldly. The paralyzed, mentally challenged man she had picked up from the street instantly blushed, clutching his tattered cotton-padded coat tightly, looking like a virtuous woman being harassed. She said helplessly, "I'm a doctor, I'll give you a medicinal bath!" When she saw the gruesome gunshot wounds all over his body and the calluses on his hands, her eyes welled up with tears. In her past life, he had shielded her from a bullet; in this life, she would protect him! Later, when a wicked relative tried to sell her son for money, she single-handedly kicked open the black market door. The man who had been paralyzed descended like a god of death, crushing the trafficker's bones with one hand: "Dare to touch my wife's child?
