"Yes, we’re now in Yang District, and in about half an hour we’ll be entering the city center."
"That..." Luo Ye hesitated: "Then I’m hanging up, Uncle Jiang, co over to my place once you’re done."
Jiang Zheng hurriedly shouted, "Wait, aren’t you curious why Ye Xuan hasn’t given you a call?"
"It must be because he’s busy," Luo Ye admitted, feeling uncomfortable with Ye Xuan standing her up just like that. Even if his phone was broken, he could use soone else’s to drop her a ssage, but she truly couldn’t bring herself to ask about it.
"You silly girl, you’re clearly upset about it yet you pretend not to be," Jiang Zheng’s voice beca stern, "Ye Xuan returned with the detainees and went straight into the trial phase, he can’t contact the outside world during the trial to avoid the risk of you worrying, he called to let you know the details.
Let explain it to you like this, if he tells you now, it’s a leak of confidential information, but if I tell you, it’s fine, since you’re not from my departnt. I can’t explain the specifics to you, Ye’er, but I hope you won’t build up a barrier against Ye Xuan. Uncle is really looking forward to you two actually becoming a couple!"
"Uncle Jiang, I’m only 16, you’re thinking too far ahead. I have a doubt I’d like to ask you about, and you have to promise not to scold for it!"
"Go ahead!"
Luo Ye chuckled: "Sister Jiang Yang is four years older than ; by age, she would be a good match for Brother Ye, cough, why then don’t you set them up with each other?"
"You think I don’t want to? No matter how I try, the two of them just don’t click, it’s really strange. Enough, I’m not going to argue with a little girl like you. It’s clear you just don’t want to face Mr. Liu and are dragging into idle chatter, I’m hanging up!"
Listening to the beeping of the phone, the corners of Luo Ye’s lips curled up in a smirk - in the future, they would need her help, she knew very well about Sister Jiang Yang’s situation!
After dinner, as Mr. Liu failed to wait for Luo Zhenggang, he indeed took out his frustration on Wen Xin and Luo Ye. After listening to the old man’s reminiscing of the past, they sumd up that — without Liu Zhengxing, the Luo Family would probably have been killed off a long ti ago!
After reminiscing, Mr. Liu put forward his demand: His son and grandson were wronged and frad, he wanted the mother and daughter to use their connections to repay the debt, as people must not forget the kindness they received.
This old man, at his age, must not be upset nor provoked; in case he becos unwell, it would be terrible. Hence, the mother and daughter agreed, saying they would manage, and luckily managed to send the old man away at exactly 8 p.m.
...
Watching Qian i on the bed like a living dead, Luo Ye sighed helplessly as she left the hospital room; she knew right now Qian i wasn’t going to listen to anything she said, probably her mind was all about how to leave this world?
It wasn’t long after sending off Mr. Liu that Luo Ye received a call from Wang Yike, Qian i had woken up and was moved from the ICU to the VIP ward.
The family of four hurried over, Luo Ye had already told her family about Qian i’s background and deeds, so the Luo Family treated Qian i as a benefactor. Hearing she had woken up, even Grandpa Luo insisted on coming despite his old age.
Unfortunately, once everyone arrived at the hospital, no matter what they said, Qian i just stared blankly at the ceiling without moving. Luo Ye was very clear about how painful withdrawal from anesthesia can be, but Qian i seed as if she felt nothing at all, a person like that, if not utterly broken with no desire to live, would never appear that numb.
After leaving the room, Wen Xin couldn’t help but sigh softly, "This child, she’s too pitiful, look at what she’s been reduced to, how could that father and son be so cruel!"
Luo Ye glanced at the clock on the wall, then turned to the others, "Grandpa, Mom, Brother, it’s too late now, all of you go back, I’ll stay here tonight to accompany her."
Luo Feng quickly said, "Let grandpa and mom go back, I will stay with you!"
"No need, Brother, the nurses can take care of the specifics, I just want to talk to her and offer so comfort, there’s no place for you to sleep here, if you’re worried, co pick up tomorrow morning!"
Luo Feng originally wanted to insist, but he noticed that nurse Liu Ying kept sneaking glances at him and quickly agreed to his sister’s request, taking Grandpa Luo and Mom away.
Luo Ye sat down in the hospital room and not long after, Liu Ying hurried in, whispering, "Miss Luo, Dr. Su would like you to stop by his office."
Luo Ye’s heart jolted and she quickly stood up to go to the on-duty doctor’s office.
Dr. Su, the surgeon who operated on Qian i, known as Su Can, was in his thirties, with delicate features and fair, smooth skin, a gentlemanly-looking man. It was said he was a brilliant graduate from a prestigious university in the United States, who ca back to work in a dostic hospital out of gratitude to his ntor.
"Dr. Su, hello!"
Su Can, who was catching up on dical records, pointed to the chair opposite him and gave Luo Ye a faint smile, "Please have a seat, Miss Luo."
Luo Ye frowned involuntarily, "Is there a problem with Qian i’s injury?"
"No, the patient’s injury isn’t the issue, it’s her mindset; she doesn’t show the slightest desire to live, this could lead to unforeseen complications. Even without complications, I’m worried about sothing else - once she has the strength to move, it might be dangerous!"
Luo Ye nodded, "I understand you, and I am also trying to figure out a solution."
"At tis like this, the care of family or a lover might give her the will to live, Miss Luo, is there a way you can notify them?"
Luo Ye sighed lightly, "She’s an orphan and doesn’t have a lover at the mont!"
"I see, pardon my frankness..." Su Can didn’t know what to say for a mont, the way the patient was brought in and the injuries on her body had already shown she was a pitiful girl, he just didn’t expect her background to be equally tragic.
Sorry for the wooden face, I’ll continue. Luckily, tomorrow is Saturday, hopefully it’ll get warr this week. I’ve been way too busy these last few days. I originally wanted to switch during the Dragon Boat Festival, but then I went out once and it was a disaster. I’ve also had a fever these past few days. With this health of mine, it leaves wanting to cry but there are no tears, wuu... (To be continued. If you wish to know what happens next, please visit qidian.
