Chapter 781 - He Disagreed (2/2)

I’m content to be able to see you and Rainy again.

“Ah Lui,” she called out to the man again.

“En,” the man replied, a hint of a smile forming at the corners of the lips; but it was clear that his dark eyes were filled with despair.

“Ah Lui, it’s okay.” Xia Ruoxin turned and buried her face in his palms. “I forgive you. I don’t blame you anymore. Don’t blame yourself. You’ve done a lot already.”

Chu Lui closed his eyes, concealing his gloominess.

“Ah Lui, thank you.”

Xia Ruoxin fell asleep again. While sleeping, she would not feel any itch; and she would not know that one of her arms was about to leave her forever.

Chu Lui tucked her in and sat there, immobile.

Suddenly, he covered his face. It was a pain that could not be measured in tears.

Tears did not necessarily represent sadness and the lack of tears did not mean despair. Different people dealt with hurt differently. Some externalized it while some internalized it.

His heart was bloody as cut deep.

“Mr. Chu, please come with me,” the nurse said carefully out the door. Chu Lui stood up and looked back at Xia Ruoxin, who was asleep, before walking out.

He was hoping for good news, but all the news they had been receiving only plunged them further in despair.

Xia Ruoxin opened her eyes when she was the only one left in the room. She had awoken when the nurse came, but she did not want anyone to know.

She raised up her left arm.

She wanted to look at it more since she would not be able to touch or feel it soon after.

She placed her right arm on her left. She could still feel life pulsating through it. This arm had been with her her whole while. Despite the pain, it was still a part of her that she always thought would follow her till she died.

She closed her eyes, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes into the bedsheets.

That day, she cried and mourned silently.

In the doctor’s office, the authorities of orthopedics were invited from all over gathered. They had been through countless meetings and came up with countless other ways, but amputation was the only solution.

“I want to keep her arm.”

Chu Lui was insistent. No matter the method, no matter the cost. He suddenly stood up and walked out. He could not do this; he could not watch as Xia Ruoxin’s left arm got amputated.
