Chapter 16 – A disability was great (2)
Stepping away to talk meant that he didn’t want Lu Beichuan to hear the results of the examination. In circumstances when the doctor didn’t want to freely speak in front of the patient, the situations were usually bad. Everyone here understood William’s meaning.
Just as Old Master Lu was preparing to stand up, he heard a low voice say, “Just stay here to talk.”
Hearing this voice, Ye Zhen’s ears suddenly felt heated.
This voice sounded too similar to that overbearing voice in her dream that told her she wasn’t allowed to cry. It carried a tone that wouldn’t tolerate any contrary opinions.
William glanced at Old Master Lu. After receiving Old Master Lu’s consent, he said, “Although Mr. Lu has woken up, I still have to clearly explain the details to everyone. Mr. Lu’s legs and waist as well as his brain was injured by the car accident a year ago. Because there was an injury to the brain, he was unconscious for almost a year. I conducted a preliminary appraisal of his legs injury a year ago. Based on today’s examination, his lower half’s injury is more serious that I estimated back then. I’m afraid…”
His worried tone made the listeners feel as if their hearts had flown up and were blocking their throats.
A long time later, Mrs. Lu finally said, “Doctor, you mean…”
“Of course, that’s just the worst possible outcome. Nowadays, the study of medicine is advance. There’s still the possibility that Mr. Lu will be able to stand up.”
William’s adequately comforting words let Mrs. Lu sigh in relief. Ye Zhen also sighed in relief, but for a different reason.
A disability was great. It would be better if he stayed a cripple instead of recovering full mobility and going out to do nefarious deeds.
After hearing the answer, Old Master Lu nodded and stood up. “I understand. Thank you for your hard work, doctor.”
William smiled as he shook Old Master Lu’s hand. “I’m only doing what I should.”
After saying this, the crowd parted to allow William and the nurses to leave. Ye Zhen also hastily moved to the side.
“Ye Qing, come here!” Mrs. Lu caught a glimpse of Ye Zhen standing at the edge of the crowd. She affably waved at her to come over.
In the past, Mrs. Lu had disliked Ye Zhen because she was timid, weak, and without her own opinions. They had married her into the Lu family in hopes that it would bring Lu Beichuan good luck, but he had remained unconscious. However, the situation was different now. Ye Zhen had driven Lu Beifan, who had tried to usurp her son’s place, out of the Lu family, and her son had woken up!
In the eyes of Mrs. Lu, this was double blessings. Her view of Ye Zhen had completely changed. She saw her daughter-in-law as a sincere and considerate harbinger of blessings.
Old Master Lu smiled too. “That fortune teller’s prediction is really accurate. He said that as long as Beichuan marries you, it’s guaranteed that he’ll wake up within a month. Isn’t that the truth? Today… it’s the one month anniversary of Ye Qing marrying into the Lu family!”
Mrs. Lu held Ye Zhen’s hand and gestured for Ye Zhen to sit down on the bed. Her words were full of happiness. “Qingqing, ah, you’re our family’s treasure. Beichuan, don’t blame us for marrying you without your permission. You have to know that you were a comatose person a month ago. At that time, what innocent girl would dare to marry you? But, Qingqing was willing!”
Mustering up her courage, Ye Zhen sat down on the bed. Lowering her head and looking down, she deferred to listening to Mrs. Lu holding her hand while praising her.
“Also, while you were unconscious, it was Qingqing that took care of you. Every day, she sat on the bed and spend the entire day massaging you. Just seeing this sight made me feel bad for her. Dr. William has said it’s a miracle for you to wake up so soon. From how I see it, the majority of the credit goes to Qingqing. In the future, you have to treat her well. If you dare to bully her,” Mrs. Lu pretended to angrily say the last part, “Don’t blame me for being unkind to you.”
