CHAPTER 578: 225 SHE IS THE LIGHT THAT ILLUMINATES HIS DARK WORLD_2

Helian Yu, for the sake of her son, couldn’t care about much else, and readily agreed.

Mingren Hospital is a private hospital, not very large, but of high standards, staffed by top industry experts and offering top-notch medical services.

An orthopedic expert, who was on vacation at home enjoying time with his grandchildren, received a call from the dean and immediately hurried to the hospital.

The patients sent to Mingren Hospital were inevitably either wealthy or of noble status. Over the years, every patient he had treated had some significant background, and for the dean to personally call, this patient was no exception.

The expert put on his reading glasses, walked into the consultation room, and saw the young man lying on the hospital bed.

Beside him stood a beautiful and elegant lady, her face cold, daunting to behold.

The old expert coughed: "Madam, please wait in the lounge."

Helian Yu glanced at the expert’s name badge: "Doctor Yan, if my son’s leg cannot be healed, none of you can bear the responsibility."

Doctor Yan had already recognized this overbearing woman and replied calmly, "I will do my utmost."

"You better."

Helian Yu looked worriedly at Liu Runxi, who had his eyes downcast and lay there quietly without looking at her.

Helian Yu helplessly walked out.

Doctor Yan disinfected his hands and stepped forward, preparing for a physical examination.

The boy’s lower body was covered with a blanket, and to facilitate the examination, his pants had been removed.

The boy seemed to feel somewhat embarrassed, turning his head away.

Doctor Yan found it amusing: "You’re about the same age as my eldest grandson. What’s there to be shy about in front of grandpa?"

He was already past retirement age, having spent a period enjoying time with his grandchildren. Feeling too bored and knowing the hospital couldn’t do without him, he returned to work.

This child was even a few years younger than his oldest grandchild.

The boy pursed his lips, silent.

Doctor Yan lifted the blanket, revealing the boy’s long legs.

Doctor Yan raised his brows, his gaze falling on the boy’s left thigh.

It was swollen compared to the right, accompanied by purplish blood spots.

He couldn’t help but frown.

His fingers, skilled and precise, pinched the thigh.

"Does it hurt here?"

The boy’s expression remained unchanged.

"How about here?"

He carefully observed the boy’s face, not missing the pained yet stoic expression.

He sighed, already knowing from his journey here how the boy had gotten injured.

The ligaments’ rupture of this degree suggested how desperate he must have been at the time.

The radiology department called; the MRI results had been expedited.

The results weren’t promising.

"Young man, I’m not kidding. Your leg needs surgery. If the post-operative recovery goes well, your daily life won’t be affected, but intense physical activity should be avoided, or else this leg might become useless."

The boy suddenly looked up, bracing to sit up.

"No, doctor, my leg can’t be useless..."

"Now you’re worried, just lie back down properly."

Doctor Yan prevented him from getting up.

The calm in the boy’s eyes finally shattered; he looked at Doctor Yan with hope: "I have something very important to do. My leg absolutely cannot be useless."

Doctor Yan sighed: "Don’t worry. As long as you follow my treatment plan and behave, your leg will get better, but how much it recovers depends on luck."

The boy lowered his lashes, appearing somewhat fragile.

Doctor Yan couldn’t bear it. After all, this young man ended up like this trying to save someone.

"Everything will be alright."

He thought, the person this boy saved must be very important to him.

After swelling was managed, Liu Runxi was moved to a private ward.

Doctor Yan, wearing his reading glasses, worked late into the night drafting the surgical plan, disturbing several old friends, to ensure there were no mistakes.

He didn’t want the boy’s eyes to bear disappointment. At such a bright age, he should live freely. If his injury caused lasting gloom, it would be his fault.

Having been a doctor for so many years, he had come to accept life and death, but towards this boy, he couldn’t help but feel softhearted.

Perhaps he too had been young once, had risked everything for someone once.

~

The ward at Mingren Hospital was very upscale, with complete facilities including a kitchen, bathroom, guest area, and health corner.

The room was quiet, with Helian Yu’s voice vaguely heard arguing over the phone outside.

Liu Runxi watched the drip in the IV bag, lost in thought.

"I told you, this has nothing to do with me. Am I crazy? That’s my own son."

"Helian Yu, if you want people not to know, unless you’ve never done it, Xixi is atoning for your sins. Do you know? Stop being stubborn. Do you really want to tear this family apart, and take Xixi and my life for your satisfaction?"
