Chapter 780: Might Need Amputation

“Thank you for the trouble.” Chu Lui looked down and gripped Xia Ruoxin’s swollen fingers. He did not know how to remove her pain. He did not know how long it would take for her to recover. In these six months, those people destroyed her body and her spirit. Her wounds could be treated, but some wounds were invisible to the naked eye.

When the helicopter landed, there was a team of medical professionals waiting for them.

Chu Lui carefully carried the sleeping woman off the helicopter, unbothered by his bare feet.

He then turned and carried Shen Wei down. Both women were skinny to their bones. He sometimes wondered if he would have been able to find their skeletons had he arrived a little later.

As this time, a limousine arrived. The car door opened as a young man in black stepped out. He removed his sunglasses and offered a rare smile when he saw Chu Lui. It was none other than the man that Chu Lui had run into at the bar. He had never expected a coincidental run-in from back then would be of massive help to him.

“You’re back.”

He walked over, his eyes resting on the extremely short hair of the women. “Are they both okay?”

“En, don’t worry. They’re just exhausted and need a long time for recovery.” Chu Lui caressed Xia Ruoxin’s prickly hair, which also pricked at his heart.

“Who is this?” Mo Ming asked as he pointed at the woman next to Chu Lui.

“Xia Ruoxin, my wife. No.” Chu Lui lowered his eyes. “To be precise, my ex-wife.”

Mo Ming had a vague idea of what was going on. He patted Chu Lui on his shoulders. “Treat her well. You still have a chance, but I don’t anymore.”

“Don’t give up.” Else, there really would not be a chance anymore. Chu Lui himself had been through the same thing, and he only managed to get her back because of this belief.

A hint of sadness filled the man’s dark eyes. “Okay.” He breathed out. “I’ve something else on so I’ve got to run. Let me know when you’re leaving. I’ll send you all back. I’ve sent someone to pick the other guy up.”

“This time, thank you.” Chu Lui reached his hand out towards the man. Without Mo Ming, even he—not to mention Xia Ruoxin and Shen Wei—would not have made it back alive.

Mo Ming shook the man’s hand.

“You don’t have to thank me since I didn’t really help you much. Else, I would have searched the island for you. Besides, I’m a businessman. You paid a big price for this. That thing’s worth billions.”

“He...” Chu Lui laughed. “Thankfully, I can still afford that.” As for the island searching that Mo Ming mentioned, he understood. After all, they each had their own considerations. They were afraid that the other party might have done something in desperation so he did not regret making the trip himself.

The two hospital beds were brought onto the ambulance. Shen Wei released her grip, revealing the sticky, chocolatey mess. Her chapped lips parted, and two words seemed to escape from it.

“Mo Ming...”

The man, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks. There was suddenly a strange feeling in his heart.

A small, sore feeling.

He turned to face the cold, freezing wind that blew at him.

Inside a large local hospital, the two women underwent a series of examinations. Even though they were not doing too well, their lives were not in danger. Their wounds would heal. However, their arms and legs were heavily frostbitten. If they were not treated properly, they would lose both their legs.

“Is her left arm fine?” Chu Lui sat down with the doctor, his expression gloomy. The one thing that he was afraid of still happened. Ruoxin’s left arm did not heal well before. It ached whenever it rained, and it had finally begun to recover. Right now, the doctor was telling him that her left arm was not in good shape... that it was worse than they had thought. The frostbitten areas were beginning to decay, and that it might need to be amputated. However, things were just beginning to improve. How did it suddenly get this bad?

What would she do if she really was left with just an arm? He clawed at his hair forcefully. He thought of how he broke her arm four years ago in a single blow. Right now, it was going to get amputated? Then, there would really be nothing left.

He could not accept it, not at all.

The doctor showed Chu Lui the x-rays. “We’ve checked it many times. The patient’s left arm did not heal properly, and it was using force over extended periods. Add frostbite to that, and it would endanger her life if it were left untreated.”

“Is amputation the only way out?”

Chu Lui calmed down. When it came down to this, would he be able to accept it?

“We’ll look into it again.” The doctor did not give Chu Lui a definite reply, that amputation was the best result.

Chu Lui did not know how he walked out of the doctor’s office. He leaned back into the cold walls.

He did not know how to face Xia Ruoxin and himself.

Closing his eyes, pain appeared on his face for the first time.

A choice had to be made between her arm and her life. It was not something he wanted, but it was something that he had to do. For the first time, the options rendered him helpless.

He walked into the ward. Xia Ruoxin was the only one here. Shen Wei was in a separate room with a caretaker.

Their needles were in their foreheads because their limbs were too heavily frostbitten to find any veins.

He walked over and sat down. He gripped her hands tightly. Her slim hand had begun to swell. It had begun to decay, especially in the higher temperature.

It had been dealt with by the doctor. Even though there was anesthetic and did not hurt, the numbness of it made her want to scratch it. Even when she was sleeping, she would want to scratch her itch. In the end, Chu Lui had no choice but to tie her hands when she was sleeping.
