Chapter 783 - Your Arm is Still Around (1/2)

Five days later, there were quite a few doctors in the hospital: some locals and some foreigners, but they were all the best in their specialization.

After researching Xia Ruoxin’s sickness for a very long time, they finally found a way.

At this time, a doctor stood in front of Chu Lui and placed the medical reports under his hands.

“Mr. Chu, we can keep Ms. Xia’s arm; and we don’t have to amputate it. However, we need to break her bones again and restructure it back. It might hurt more now, but when it gets better, we can keep her arm. After a period of rehabilitation, it can function as normal. This is also a compensation for the change it will give. I can’t say it’s all bad, but from a medical point of view, some things cannot be explained by logic.”

“Thank you.” Chu Lui extended his hand. All he could say now was those two words. As to whether it could go back to how it was in the past or not, he would not force it. All he wanted was for her to be a healthy person with no missing arm or leg.

“You’re welcome, this is what we ought to do.” The doctor stood up, shook Chu Lui’s hand, and picked up the medical records on the table.

“Mr. Chu, I’ll talk to the other doctors about the surgery. If there are no other problems, we’ll continue with the surgery three days later.”

“I know.” After Chu Lui said that, he heaved a sigh of relief gently.

…

Xia Ruoxin sat up. There was a canvas by her leg which Chu Lui had got someone to make it for her. Here, she could draw and read books—even though it seemed to be a really long time, she did not seem to be suffering.

“Did Shen Wei go back already?” She turned around and asked Chu Lui. Initially, she wanted to wait until she was better before she went to see Shen Wei. How could she just leave as and when she wanted?

“She left in a rush.” Chu Lui was currently cutting an apple with a fruit knife. His fingers were agile, and the apple did not even break at all.

“She told me to tell you that when you return, she will thank you.”

Xia Ruoxin picked up her drawing pencil and started drawing. “Actually, she didn’t need to thank me. She saved me once before.”

“Eat the fruit.” Chu Lui placed the cut fruit in front of her.

Xia Ruoxin wanted to raise her left hand, but she felt a sudden pain. Her body then broke out in cold sweat. Even the apple in her hand dropped on the blanket.

“What’s the matter? Are you okay?” Chu Lui sat up hurriedly and placed his hands on her shoulders before letting her lie down. He pressed the bell to call for the doctor.

“I’m okay.” Xia Ruoxin recovered her senses slowly and placed her hand on Chu Lui’s arm. “It hurt a little just now, but I feel much better now.”

Chu Lui felt her forehead and noticed that she had already broken out in cold sweat. She still said it hurt a little; it must have hurt a lot.

“It’s okay.” He held Xia Ruoxin’s hand in his palm tightly. “It’ll be better after the surgery.”

Xia Ruoxin smiled, but only she herself knew the extent of anxiety and hopelessness was hidden in the smile.

Even though she had already resigned to her fate; even though she knew that her arm could not be kept; even though she had already accepted the fate that her arm would be broken…

Yes, surgery. She would undergo surgery real soon, and after the surgery, she would really be handicapped.

However, she was still smiling. She smiled at waved her hand as she bid her own arm goodbye.

Three days later, outside the operating theater…

Chu Lui reached out to hold her right hand tightly. Their ten fingers were intertwined, just like the past.
