Chapter 571: Chapter 577: Entrusting the Life
The old doctor also felt somewhat helpless. As a medical practitioner, he could only speak based on the patient’s condition, and with General Han’s injuries being so severe, anyone with clear eyes could see the situation was not optimistic. He couldn’t speak against his conscience. Even if General Han was valiant and unrivaled, he was still just a man. Suffering from such severe wounds and having fought fiercely all the way, if it had been someone else, they might have already passed away. The fact that he had held on until now was no small feat; what would come next depended on fate.
Although Liu Xiu said this, he actually understood the principle quite well. It was just anxious concern. Seeing the old doctor’s helpless expression, he finally calmed down, “Is there really no other way, doctor? Please, you must save Xiu Qi at any cost, whatever method you can use, I will do everything I can to support you. Just wake him up, and I will reward you handsomely!”
“General Liu, it’s not that I’m not trying my best, it’s truly beyond my power. If there was even a glimmer of hope, I would not give up. With General Han’s condition, unless it’s…” the old doctor said so far but didn’t continue, obviously thinking it unlikely.
“Unless what?” When Liu Xiu heard what the old doctor said, a glimmer of hope sparkled in his eyes. Seeing that the doctor didn’t continue, he quickly grabbed the doctor’s hand and asked.
“Cough, cough…” Right at this moment, Han Yu, who had been in a comatose state, woke up. Seeing Liu Xiu pressuring the old doctor, he mustered a weak voice
“Uncle Wen, don’t trouble the old doctor. I understand my condition; I fear I may not survive it. Wealth and nobility are predestined, and life and death are fated. There are things that cannot be forced.” When Han Yu spoke these words, he seemed somewhat disheartened, yet also displayed a sense of resignation, as if he had seen through certain things.
“Xiu Qi, don’t lose heart. Isn’t there a saying, ‘Man’s determination can conquer fate’? As a heroic figure like you, would you really be content to conclude your life like this? You’re still so young, with many unresolved vendettas. Haven’t you said you wanted to assist me in achieving great things? I was too narrow-minded before and believed the slander of a nasty person, which led me to doubt you and not truly open my heart to you. If you get through this ordeal, from now on, you will be the brother upon whom I can trust my life!”
Hearing these words from Liu Xiu, Han Yu knew his purpose had been achieved. A trace of joy genuinely appeared on his face as he sincerely looked at Liu Xiu, “To hear these words from you, Uncle Wen, satisfies my heart. I don’t blame you for not trusting me before. If I were in your place, I’m not sure I could do as you have done, having the power to control a territory on your own, yet choosing to serve you instead. Anyone would doubt my intentions, and indeed, I had my ambitions.”
Upon hearing Han Yu speak, Liu Xiu’s expression changed slightly. His heart couldn’t be completely unconcerned, yet he harbored no suspicions, holding Han Yu’s hand, “Xiu Qi, stop speaking. No matter your initial purpose in joining me, I have seen all that you’ve done subsequently. Now, you’ve almost lost your life trying to save me. In any case, you are my savior, Liu Xiu, and I will forever remember this debt of gratitude in my heart. You will always be the brother upon whom I can trust my life. Let’s not dwell on the past; from now on, let us join hands and work together.”
“Uncle Wen, let me finish speaking. I know you’re a magnanimous person, but some things still need to be made clear, or there will always be some grudge in the heart. Your previous suspicions of me were not unnoticed by me. I always felt it didn’t matter, that I could prove everything through my actions. However, without clear communication, who knows what you’re really thinking. Now, as I am, I fear I might not make it through, so there are things I want to clarify.”
