Chapter 782 - May the Moment Last Forever (1/2)

She was his, and so was her arm.

Without his consent, no one could touch a single strand of her hair, not to mention her arm.

He thought long and hard about it, losing sleep over it. However, he was still unwilling for her to lose an arm. No matter the cost, he wanted to save her arm. He owed her too much in this life. There was not much he could do to make it up to her. The least he could do was keep her able-bodied.

The doctors were put in a tight spot. They were doctors, not magicians. All the decisions they made were in the best interests of the patients. What was the use of an arm if it put the life of the patient in danger?

However, Chu Lui was insistent. He refused to agree to the operation, to sign on the agreement.

Xia Ruoxin stared blankly outside the window. The sun seemed nice, and she wanted to go out and catch some sun.

“You want to go out?” Chu Lui asked Xia Ruoxin, placing her arm on his lap. The decay of her arm had slowed down recently, clearly better than it was before. This was mostly thanks to his care. He applied the ointment for her a dozen times daily. Otherwise, it really would not have healed so easily.

“En, a little.” Xia Ruoxin narrowed her eyes. It had been a while since she got some sun. The sun at the island only added to the fluctuating and unbearable weather there.

“Then, let’s go out.” Chu Lui reached out and tidied up her hair. It had been trimmed. Even though it was still a little short, it was better than not having hair or the mess that it was before. Even though it was not particularly nice, it was still presentable.

“Okay.” Xia Ruoxin smiled, her eyes still as gentle as before. After going through everything, she only wanted to continue living simply, even if…

Her smile faded as she looked at her left arm.

Even if it meant losing this arm.

She sat in the wheelchair, covered with a soft blanket. Even though the sun was strong, it did not burn. Instead, it was a comfortable. She narrowed her eyes comfortably as the rays of light come through between branches of the trees, reflecting on her hair and lashes.

Chu Lui walked over and placed a cup of milk tea in her hand. She gripped it tightly. It was warm.

“I just bought it. Have a taste.”

He sat next to her, enjoying the peace and quiet. Without work or distractions, a lasting moment of peace.

Xia Ruoxin picked up the cup and brought it before her. It was full of the creamy, milky smell.

She took a sip. It was strawberry-flavored, A little sweet, a little sour… complemented by the milk. It was a nice sensation.

Setting the cup down, she placed her hand on the lap. She closed her eyes to take a nap, her hand still gripping onto the cup tightly.

She wanted to look at her left arm for a few more days—have it for a few more days—even though she knew that she would eventually lose it.

Chu Lui’s eyes darkened as he reached out towards her left wrist.

“It’ll be fine, trust me. It’ll be fine.
