Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 796: Was The Harm Done Not Enough?

Naturally, Lu Yi almost suffered from brain damage. When He Yibin recalled that surgery, his entire body would tremble with anxiety. The lack of blood was not the only factor. The surgery was extremely hard but luckily, the patient shockingly survived.

“Who am I?” he pointed at his face and asked, worried that Lu Yi might have some post-surgery effects, like forgetting his entire past or something. Even though he had forgotten many things, it would be fine as long as he did not become an idiot.

Lu Yi’s brain throbbed fiercely, so he slowly put his hand down and lightly exhaled. It was also this natural rhythm of breathing in and out, that brought with it the throbbing pain in his brain.

His memory was a little fuzzy now, but he had not reached the point of idiocy just yet.

“Yibin, how long have I been here?”

He wanted to sit up but he realized that even if he wanted to, it was still slightly difficult for him.

“It’s been five days.” He Yibin let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, his brain was still clear and the impact had not turned him into an idiot.

“Five days, that long?” Lu Yi tried to move his forearm, but it was still very weak.

“Am I paralyzed?” he asked this very nonchalantly, not in the least bit hysterical about it. For him, it was as if the word ‘paralysis’ was as simple as asking what did someone eat today.

The corner of He Yibin’s eyes twitched uncontrollably.

“Relax, you are very lucky. You only hit your head, had a gaping wound, and suffer from the aftereffects of hypoxia. However, your bones are not fractured and your internal organs are fine. You can’t move right now simply because I gave you a certain drug that will temporarily limit your mobility. After the effects of the drug wear off, everything will be fine.”

“What about her?” Lu Yi remained expressionless even after being told that he was not paralyzed. His mind had begun to clear and thus, he started to process the previous events in his mind.

Sun Yuhan, high heels, the road, a car, and an accident.

Putting these together, there was nothing he could not understand.

“She’s fine, don’t worry about her.” He Yibin pursed his lips and continued, “She’s at your house now, nothing’s wrong with her. She only sprained her ankle and probably needs to use a wheelchair or crutches for a few days. Of course, if she wants to hop around every day that works too.”

He took out a pen from his breast pocket and picked up the patient’s medical record from the hospital bed as he began to take down some notes.

Lu Yi’s eyes widened suddenly, but it was not clear what he was looking at. Perhaps he was not even looking at anything in particular. However, from what he could see, it was a reflection of certain things.

He Yibin placed the medical records back in its place and looking at the dazed Lu Yi. He stood up and waved a hand in front of him, saying, “The drug should only numb your limbs, and it shouldn’t have any effect on your sight. Are you sure your eyes are alright?” Now, he was worried if there were some other post-surgery effects. After all the brain was an extremely intricate organ and with extensive blood loss. After all, his brain had been severely deprived of blood and might have caused some nerve damage. Perhaps when his head hit the ground, he might have damaged something else. However, the scans had not picked up any problems, there were no signs of nerve impingement or blood clots in his brain.

However, one could not fully guarantee that there really was nothing wrong.

Lu Yi’s black eyes finally showed some light. Then, he pressed his colorless lips together and uttered, “I’m fine, I’m not blind.”

He Yibin opened his mouth, giving him more of a grimace than a smile.

“For you, you can see with your eyes but you are still blind.” Then, he stood up and put back his pen.

Lu Yi continued to widen his silent eyes, unable to focus them. As he laboriously tried to lift up his fingers, they were still very weak.

He did not have the strength to do anything, nor could he change anything. All he could do was continue lying there. Apart from his moving eyelids, he was motionless like a lifeless corpse.

His eyes could move on the first day he regained consciousness.

In the afternoon, Ye Shuyun and Lu Jin came to seem him.

“Thank goodness, everything’s alright. Otherwise, what would I have to do, bury you for a second time?”

“I’m sorry, mother.” Lu Yi still could not move and he could only speak.

“Never mind, don’t apologize. As long as you’re okay, it’s alright.” Ye Shuyun caressed her son’s forehead, worried that he might have a fever after the surgery. If he really has a fever, what can we do?

Luckily, he did not have a fever, and he seemed fine.

Lu Yi’s head had been aching the entire time. He was not sure about the exact place it hurt, but he could feel the pain somewhere. It hurt so much that he could only reduce the pain by taking deep breaths.

On the second day, he noticed that his fingers could move. This made him believe that he would not end up paralyzed. The pain in his brain was also less intense than it was yesterday. At least, it was bearable for him now.

That meant that he could have a good sleep.

“Why are you here?”

Ye Shuyun looked displeased and did not try to look hospitable to the woman who had just entered. Then, she mockingly said, “Didn’t you always say that you’re the one who saved my son? Now that my son has saved you, the debt between you two is paid off. Didn’t you say that you supported my son for two years? The clothes you are wearing, the handbag you carry, and even your handphone, any one of them cost more than what you spent durings those two years.”

Sun Yuhan’s face was burning, choked into silence by her remarks.

Others might not know what she was like in the past, but she knew herself better than anyone else.

Had she supported Lu Yi before? Not really. Lu Yi only needed her support during the first month. By the second month, he had already begun earning money to support both of them. He even sold his ring so they could afford those houses later. She deeply regretted it now. Why did I have to throw a tantrum? Great, now that Ye Shuyun hates me so much, I wouldn’t dare stay here. Just as Ye Shuyun said, she could no longer use that excuse of saving his life anymore.

“Aunt…” She had just begun to open her mouth when Ye Shuyun impatiently cut her off, saying, “Don’t call me that, I’m not your aunt.”

“I…” Sun Yuhan felt her face burn even redder. It was hot and flushed red as if someone had ruthlessly slapped her a few times.

“Why don’t you go back? I don’t want to see you here.” Ye Shuyun was being very polite right now. Otherwise, she would not be merely talking to her, she would have given her a good slap. Isn’t it enough for her to harm their family, and even her son?
