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

He said to wait for him to come back; he would find her.

Yes, he did find her… although he was late by over twenty years.

It was fine. Everything would be alright after she woke up from her nap.

“Yes, I know. I’m not afraid.” Xia Ruoxin held his hand tightly before closing her eyes. She did not know if inside would be another hell or the start of her new life.

The door to the operating theater closed once again.

Xia Ruoxin turned around and stared at the doctors and nurses who were preparing for the surgery. She lowered her head, and at that time, her arm was stuck to one side. Sometimes, she had even wondered how they were going to amputate her arm; would they use a knife to cut, would they hack it off, or would they directly use a surgical knife to cut it off? While wearing the oxygen mask, her breathing slowed down and went back to normal.

She wanted to say that she was very dizzy, but at last, she did not even have the energy to open her eyes.

After some time, she seemed to have had a long sleep; and it seemed like she did not even have a single dream.

When she woke up slightly, she found a person lying beside her.

She lightly moved her finger and did not even dare move at the shoulder that was missing an arm.

It should be gone already, right? Her actions had startled the man beside her.

“You’re awake.” Chu Lui sat up, and once he saw her open her eyes, he knew that she was awake. The doctor said that she was going to wake up around that day, and as expected, she really did.

“Are you feeling any pain? I’ll call the doctor.”

Chu Lui stood up and was prepared to call for the doctor.

Xia Ruoxin shook her head. She wanted to speak, but once she opened her mouth, her voice was hoarse; and she could not even make a single sound.

Not long later, the doctor came over, opened her eyelids, and checked her body temperature. Eventually, the checks made Xia Ruoxin sleepy. She closed her eyes once again and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she felt that her entire left arm was in pain. However, it was impossible that she would feel pain as she did not have anything left; what pain would she feel?

Hence, she clenched her teeth and endured it all. When the doctor asked her how she was doing, she said she was doing okay. However, up till today, three days had passed since her surgery; but she still did not have any courage to look at the arm that was missing.

Until one day, she could not take it anymore as her arm kept hurting from time to time; and every time it hurt, she felt as though her heart was hurting and in pain the same way.

“Chu Lui…” She called Chu Lui’s name.

“What’s the matter?” Chu Lui hurriedly walked over and asked worriedly; there was also a hint of urgency in his voice. “Do you feel uncomfortable?”

“Slightly.” Xia Ruoxin exhaled lightly and swallowed the pain down.

“My arm hurts, but isn’t it gone? Why would it still hurt?”

“Gone?” Chu Lui was stunned. He placed his hand on Xia Ruoxin’s face before turning it lightly towards her left.

“Xia Ruoxin, who told you that your left arm was gone?”

“Was it not cut off during the surgery?” Xia Ruoxin still did not have the courage to look at her handicapped body. Actually, she had always wanted to ask how they handled the arm that was cut off; did they bury it, or just throw it away?
