Liang Xia sat on the stool and removed his shoes, revealing his bruised and swollen right calf and the highly swollen right foot.
Since there was no odor from his feet, Liang Xia’s action was done naturally.
He glanced again at the basin of water, the colorless solution, and doubted whether this really was dicine.
Despite the suspicion in his heart, his foot already went into the water.
Regardless, due to the fierce kid in the room and Gu Jiajie who might act anyti, he had no choice but to do this.
Moreover, Gu Jin ant well, and he simply couldn’t refuse.
Liang Xia’s series of actions seed natural, but deep down, he still felt a bit embarrassed, as washing his foot in soone else’s ho just didn’t seem appropriate.
Three pairs of eyes in the room were fixed on him, and he kept a façade of indifference, focusing on the sound of his breathing and heartbeat.
After a while, Liang Xia’s expression suddenly changed.
"Hiss! It hurts!"
The impassive look on his face cracked as he drew a sharp breath and groaned from the pain.
Liang Xia felt a dense prickling pain originating from his foot, a kind of pain that was unbearable, as if thousands of fine needles were stabbing him.
He promptly lifted his foot from the basin, his body trembling uncontrollably from the pain.
"Does it hurt?" Gu Jin asked with a smile.
Pain signaled effectiveness.
Effectiveness further confird her previous suspicion.
Liang Xia’s injury wasn’t rely flesh wounds but also involved the bone. If his leg could heal, then the space’s spring water was truly a treasure.
Staring at the basin of water on the ground, Liang Xia frowned and asked, "It hurts, what did you put in this water?"
Gu Jin circled him once, finally fixing her gaze on his leg and foot: "This is dicinal water. Soak a little longer, maybe your leg will get better."
"Is it really that miraculous?"
Liang Xia couldn’t help but question.
"How will you know if you don’t try?"
The room was very quiet, and Gu Jiajie stood aside, arms crossed, coldly watching Liang Xia.
He could understand Liang Xia’s feelings; back then when his cousin gave him and Yuanzi and Wuren the dicine in Shenzhen, it also stung painfully upon application.
Such a Spiritual Pill, and Xiao Jin was giving it to a stranger; he couldn’t help but feel distressed.
Liang Xia hesitated for a mont and placed his foot back into the water.
It didn’t take long before the prickling sensation ca again.
This ti, he gritted his teeth, enduring the inhuman pain, with sweat quickly beading on his face.
Despite this, Liang Xia continued to grit his teeth and persevere.
He had gone to the hospital before, but the doctor said it would require a large amount of dical expenses, money that his family simply didn’t have, and in the end, he had to forego treatnt.
When the accident happened at the factory, they imdiately dismissed him on a disciplinary issue without any compensation.
His family didn’t hold any grievances against him, but treating his leg was truly beyond their capabilities.
Liang Xia knew what awaited him for the rest of his life; dragging a crippled leg, marrying a similarly imperfect woman, and just making do.
Now that there’s a chance for healing before him, he had to take the risk.
Whether true or not, whether successful or not, he always wanted to give it a try.
Besides, for so unknown reason, Liang Xia held a vague expectation for the young girl before him.
Perhaps it really could get better.
So, biting his lip to the point it bled from the searing pain like thousands of needles, Liang Xia never removed his foot from the basin.
His eyes were tightly shut, sweat streaming down his eyes and along his pale cheeks, continuously dripping onto the ground; just looking made one feel the pain.
