Chapter 555: Would Her Hand Recover? (5)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Lian's face was as pale as before, but her right hand had stopped trembling even though it was still weak.

It was hard to imagine how much her frail body had endured in life.

And what about him?

At the time she would have needed him the most, he had not been by her side.

Even eight years after that… when they met again, he had wanted to take revenge, hit her, harm her.

Right at this moment, Shen Liangchuan felt downright ashamed of himself.

Despite the fact that there were others in the room, he just could not bear this sudden urge to walk to her and hold her tightly in his arms.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, she was still alive and kicking.

Qiao Lian gave the man before her a stunned look.

What was wrong with Shen Liangchuan?

As she held her trembling hand against her chest, although she had not spoken a word, one could sense her post-traumatic stress.

The way he was holding and pressing her tightly in his embrace was, strangely, somewhat heartbreaking.

Was it because her hand…?

All at once, Qiao Lian turned white.

She coughed once and pushed Shen Liangchuan away, asking, ”What's wrong?”

She forced a smile. ”Actually my fingers can function perfectly fine for day-to-day living. Even if it doesn't get any better, it's alright. After all, I'm old! If I continued gaming after the age of 25, it would be past my golden period and people will think it's a joke. I'll just focus on being a coach from now on and that's not too bad.”

This self-mockery was saddening to hear.

Indeed, the golden period for a gamer was below the age of 25. But she had missed out on those eight years.

Her dreams were getting further and further away.

Shen Liangchuan felt all the more bitter.
