Chapter 783: Your Arm is Still Around

Five days later, there were quite a few doctors in the hospital: some locals and some foreigners, but they were all the best in their specialization.

After researching Xia Ruoxin’s sickness for a very long time, they finally found a way.

At this time, a doctor stood in front of Chu Lui and placed the medical reports under his hands.

“Mr. Chu, we can keep Ms. Xia’s arm; and we don’t have to amputate it. However, we need to break her bones again and restructure it back. It might hurt more now, but when it gets better, we can keep her arm. After a period of rehabilitation, it can function as normal. This is also a compensation for the change it will give. I can’t say it’s all bad, but from a medical point of view, some things cannot be explained by logic.”

“Thank you.” Chu Lui extended his hand. All he could say now was those two words. As to whether it could go back to how it was in the past or not, he would not force it. All he wanted was for her to be a healthy person with no missing arm or leg.

“You’re welcome, this is what we ought to do.” The doctor stood up, shook Chu Lui’s hand, and picked up the medical records on the table.

“Mr. Chu, I’ll talk to the other doctors about the surgery. If there are no other problems, we’ll continue with the surgery three days later.”

“I know.” After Chu Lui said that, he heaved a sigh of relief gently.

...

Xia Ruoxin sat up. There was a canvas by her leg which Chu Lui had got someone to make it for her. Here, she could draw and read books—even though it seemed to be a really long time, she did not seem to be suffering.

“Did Shen Wei go back already?” She turned around and asked Chu Lui. Initially, she wanted to wait until she was better before she went to see Shen Wei. How could she just leave as and when she wanted?

“She left in a rush.” Chu Lui was currently cutting an apple with a fruit knife. His fingers were agile, and the apple did not even break at all.

“She told me to tell you that when you return, she will thank you.”

Xia Ruoxin picked up her drawing pencil and started drawing. “Actually, she didn’t need to thank me. She saved me once before.”

“Eat the fruit.” Chu Lui placed the cut fruit in front of her.

Xia Ruoxin wanted to raise her left hand, but she felt a sudden pain. Her body then broke out in cold sweat. Even the apple in her hand dropped on the blanket.

“What’s the matter? Are you okay?” Chu Lui sat up hurriedly and placed his hands on her shoulders before letting her lie down. He pressed the bell to call for the doctor.

“I’m okay.” Xia Ruoxin recovered her senses slowly and placed her hand on Chu Lui’s arm. “It hurt a little just now, but I feel much better now.”

Chu Lui felt her forehead and noticed that she had already broken out in cold sweat. She still said it hurt a little; it must have hurt a lot.

“It’s okay.” He held Xia Ruoxin’s hand in his palm tightly. “It’ll be better after the surgery.”

Xia Ruoxin smiled, but only she herself knew the extent of anxiety and hopelessness was hidden in the smile.

Even though she had already resigned to her fate; even though she knew that her arm could not be kept; even though she had already accepted the fate that her arm would be broken...

Yes, surgery. She would undergo surgery real soon, and after the surgery, she would really be handicapped.

However, she was still smiling. She smiled at waved her hand as she bid her own arm goodbye.

Three days later, outside the operating theater...

Chu Lui reached out to hold her right hand tightly. Their ten fingers were intertwined, just like the past.

He said to wait for him to come back; he would find her.

Yes, he did find her... although he was late by over twenty years.

It was fine. Everything would be alright after she woke up from her nap.

“Yes, I know. I’m not afraid.” Xia Ruoxin held his hand tightly before closing her eyes. She did not know if inside would be another hell or the start of her new life.

The door to the operating theater closed once again.

Xia Ruoxin turned around and stared at the doctors and nurses who were preparing for the surgery. She lowered her head, and at that time, her arm was stuck to one side. Sometimes, she had even wondered how they were going to amputate her arm; would they use a knife to cut, would they hack it off, or would they directly use a surgical knife to cut it off? While wearing the oxygen mask, her breathing slowed down and went back to normal.

She wanted to say that she was very dizzy, but at last, she did not even have the energy to open her eyes.

After some time, she seemed to have had a long sleep; and it seemed like she did not even have a single dream.

When she woke up slightly, she found a person lying beside her.

She lightly moved her finger and did not even dare move at the shoulder that was missing an arm.

It should be gone already, right? Her actions had startled the man beside her.

“You’re awake.” Chu Lui sat up, and once he saw her open her eyes, he knew that she was awake. The doctor said that she was going to wake up around that day, and as expected, she really did.

“Are you feeling any pain? I’ll call the doctor.”

Chu Lui stood up and was prepared to call for the doctor.

Xia Ruoxin shook her head. She wanted to speak, but once she opened her mouth, her voice was hoarse; and she could not even make a single sound.

Not long later, the doctor came over, opened her eyelids, and checked her body temperature. Eventually, the checks made Xia Ruoxin sleepy. She closed her eyes once again and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she felt that her entire left arm was in pain. However, it was impossible that she would feel pain as she did not have anything left; what pain would she feel?

Hence, she clenched her teeth and endured it all. When the doctor asked her how she was doing, she said she was doing okay. However, up till today, three days had passed since her surgery; but she still did not have any courage to look at the arm that was missing.

Until one day, she could not take it anymore as her arm kept hurting from time to time; and every time it hurt, she felt as though her heart was hurting and in pain the same way.

“Chu Lui...” She called Chu Lui’s name.

“What’s the matter?” Chu Lui hurriedly walked over and asked worriedly; there was also a hint of urgency in his voice. “Do you feel uncomfortable?”

“Slightly.” Xia Ruoxin exhaled lightly and swallowed the pain down.

“My arm hurts, but isn’t it gone? Why would it still hurt?”

“Gone?” Chu Lui was stunned. He placed his hand on Xia Ruoxin’s face before turning it lightly towards her left.

“Xia Ruoxin, who told you that your left arm was gone?”

“Was it not cut off during the surgery?” Xia Ruoxin still did not have the courage to look at her handicapped body. Actually, she had always wanted to ask how they handled the arm that was cut off; did they bury it, or just throw it away?
