Shang Yan once again struggled against the floor to stand up. He tried to take two steps forward.

Qu Xiao was so nervous that she did not dare to breathe as she stared at him, silently cheering for him in her heart.

Half a minute later, Qu Xiao realized that Shang Yan’s body was swaying. She hurriedly spread her arms and rushed over to hug him.

Dong! Following a muffled sound, both fell to the ground in unison.

Shang Yan frowned in pain and used his hand to cover his sprained knee joint.

Pain? Shang Yan’s eyes were filled with excitement as he slapped his two legs. Qu Xiao thought he was emotionally unstable and wanted to comfort him to stop. “It’s alright.”

“Don’t be anxious. We can continue trying other methods!”

Shang Yan shook his head. He hugged Qu Xiao, and his voice trembled as he tried his best to suppress the excitement. “I can feel it!”

Shang Yan did not know when, but he slowly got used to the companionship of a wheelchair.

From his resistance when he was discharged from the hospital to his research and development now, he even thought that he would be tied to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. However, Qu Xiao changed everything. He could really feel pain, numbness, soreness, and other complicated feelings.

Qu Xiao smiled when she heard that and immediately informed the private doctor to come to the villa for a follow-up check-up.

The private doctor pushed Shang Yan to the diagnostic and treatment room in the villa’s basement. All sorts of sophisticated equipment operated to slowly obtain various data reports of Shang Yan’s body. Qu Xiao wrung her hands as she waited for the doctor’s diagnosis. She would ask Shang Yan how he was feeling from time to time.

“It’s simply a miracle. This is simply impossible!”

The doctor held the medical order and repeatedly read it three times. From the perspective of Western medicine, he felt that it was impossible for Shang Yan’s legs to stand up again.

He promised to do regular weekly rehabilitation just to give Shang Yan psychological comfort and ensure that his legs’ muscles would not atrophy too quickly. However, the report’s results now showed that the nerves in his legs had recovered!

All the data were no different from that of an ordinary person.

Qu Xiao could not hold back her wildly beating heart. She dragged the doctor to a corner and asked in a low voice, “You mean that according to the data, Shang Yan can stand up now? But he…” Qu Xiao shook her head as she glanced at the wheelchair Shang Yan was sitting in from the corner of her eyes.

The doctor lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time before giving his guess. “I think it should be related to his psychological state.”

“CEO Shang has to rely on a wheelchair to travel all year round. From the bottom of his heart, he believes that there is no way to get rid of it. We term it dependence. Many patients with car accidents and the sequelae of surgery will have such a psychological illness, and the symptoms they portray are different.”

Qu Xiao thought of Lei Qiming’s exhortation to her and frowned.

The body was far easier to treat than the psychological illness. How could she untie the knot in Shang Yan’s heart? This was the biggest obstacle at the moment.

The private doctor could see Qu Xiao’s concern for Shang Yan. “I have participated in several clinical rehabilitation abroad. Maybe there are some ways which you can try. But I’m not sure if it can really help CEO Shang.”

“In a situation like CEO Shang’s, he needs a strong impact and desire to temporarily let go of the psychological shackles.”

Qu Xiao looked lost as she frowned. She wanted to ask the doctor to speak more clearly.

The doctor stared into Qu Xiao’s eyes. “It can be the thing or person that CEO Shang cares about the most or is most afraid of losing. As long as he is in a huge crisis, it will stimulate his subconscious, and he will forget about the problems with his body. As long as he can stand up and overcome his psychological trauma, he will soon be like a normal person.”

When the butler and Qu Xiao heard the doctor’s words, they nodded with a complicated expression and respectfully sent him away.

Shang Yan sat in the wheelchair with a gloomy and anxious expression. He pinched his knees and inner thighs repeatedly, using the pain to tell himself that he could stand up, but it still did not have any effect.

Late at night, Qu Xiao waited for him to fall asleep before she sneaked out of the room and ran to the living room to meet the butler and the nanny.

Two dim yellow night lights lighted up the living room.

Qu Xiao hugged her knees in distress and curled up on the sofa. Her brain seemed to be in a mess, and she could not think of the best solution or treatment method at all. Lei Qiming had gone overseas to conduct academic research, so she did not want to disturb him too much.

“Madam, I have an idea.”

The butler hesitated a few times before finally speaking. Qu Xiao nodded and signaled him to continue with anticipation in her eyes.

“The person whom CEO Shang cares about the most is you! If you were in danger, he would definitely disregard himself and focus on saving you.”

“Perhaps you can give it a try…” The butler saw that Qu Xiao did not reply after a long time and stammered as he explained, “Please don’t misunderstand. We will definitely not let you really be in danger under the premise of ensuring your safety.”

Qu Xiao shook her head. Her blank eyes gradually became clear and determined.

“Shang Yan is a brilliant person. He can tell whether it’s an act or a real scene.”

“Bring him to the Shang Group tomorrow. Remember to push him to the main entrance to wait for me!”

After Qu Xiao said this, she decisively stood up and walked to the parking lot.

The butler and the nanny exchanged glances and muttered with faint worry, “What does Madam want to do?”

“Will we be doing something bad out of kindness?”

The nanny took two deep breaths and pressed her chest, “It’s all for CEO Shang. We must be savvy tomorrow and not let Madam get hurt!”
